Description
### Feature Description
After a query is executed and before results are returned, the bottom pane displays no results.
Proposed redesign: Show a loading indicator (e.g., status bar, spinning wheel) to indicate that the query is still running, instead of displaying a "no results" message. The current design causes confusion, particularly when the query takes longer to complete.

Research direction
Start by locating the query editor's query-execution flow and the state that currently displays the bottom pane's "no results" message. Trace how execution begins and results return, then add a loading indication for the waiting period and verify that the no-results state is not shown prematurely.
