Research direction

Start by reading the interaction flow that reports progress during tool calls; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace a multi-minute tool chain and identify where interim status messages are emitted. Done looks like a one-line status appearing when a chain takes more than a few seconds.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Multi-minute sequences of tool calls ran with no interim message, leaving the user without any indication of progress.

  2. Observe several minutes pass with tool calls and no text.

Expected behavior

Emit a one-line status when a chain will take more than a few seconds.
