Description

Right now large inputs and dataclips can take 30-40s to load and it looks as though the input is blank (empty monaco editor) before the JSON arrives.

Let's add a loading indicator so the user knows that the input dataclip isn't actually blank, but that it's taking a long time to show up.

This single loading indicator should be used across all instances of monaco while they're waiting for their content.

Research direction

Start by locating all Monaco instances in the Lightning codebase and tracing how their content is loaded. Confirm the shared loading indicator appears while large inputs and dataclips are pending, then disappears once the JSON content is shown.
