Description

Is it possible to indicate tool progress to a user in a shiny chat ui for situations where a tool takes awhile to return?

I am thinking about something similar to withProgress https://shiny.posit.co/r/reference/shiny/0.14/withprogress.html

Thanks for the great package!

Start by reviewing the shiny chat UI's handling of tool calls that take a while to return, then compare the requested behavior with Shiny's withProgress reference. Define how progress should be presented and how completion is indicated; no file or test is named in the issue.
