Descrição

### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I need a visual indicator to distinguish when an agent is performing work and when it is waiting on input.

### Proposed solution

The spinning indicator in the title bar currently means two different things, which makes it hard to know whether Copilot needs me or is actively working:

1. The agent is processing / running tools (legitimate spinner)
2. The agent is blocked waiting for me to respond (e.g., ask_user prompt, permission prompt, or just idle after a turn)

Both look identical, so I sometimes wait on Copilot while Copilot is waiting on me.

Request: A 3-state indicator with distinct glyphs:

| State | Suggested glyph |
|---|---|
| Agent working / running tools | 🔄 (current spinner) |
| Awaiting user input (ask_user, permission, idle post-turn) | ⚠️ |
| Turn just completed successfully | ✅ (briefly, then idle) |

Bonus points if the glyphs are configurable via settings.json or a new /theme key, e.g.:

```json
"indicator": {
"working": "🔄",
"awaiting": "⚠️",
"done": "✅"
}
```

Direção de pesquisa

Start by tracing the title-bar indicator and the state transitions for tool execution, user prompts, permissions, and completed turns. Define and verify distinct working, awaiting-input, and briefly completed states; the issue's suggested configurable glyphs are an optional extension. Confirm the three states are visually distinguishable in the relevant workflows.
