Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When stashing it can take several seconds before the stash completes and the popup closes, but there is no visual cue that it is happening. I have on occasion wondered whether I actually pressed Enter and have pressed it again; fortunately, this seems to cause no harm.

Describe the solution you'd like In the Stash popup, overwrite the "type name (optional)" message or the name (if typed) with a message like "Stashing..." as soon as Enter is pressed. This will inform the user that something is actually happening.

Research direction
The issue asks to add a visual cue in the stash popup. Look at the stash popup implementation, likely in files under src/app or src/components. The comment mentions 'press Enter' so locate the stashing handler. The solution is to change the popup's content to 'Stashing...' after Enter. Review the existing UI code (e.g., using ratatui) to implement this change. No linked PRs or assignees, so it's open for contribution.
