New chat live thinking and stop controls

Feature/Change Name

Projectless new chats show live thinking state and interrupt controls while a turn is active.

Prerequisites/Setup

  1. Use an isolated CODEX_HOME with valid Codex auth.
  2. Start local Vite: CODEX_HOME=<temp-home> pnpm run dev --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4173.

Steps

  1. In light theme, open http://127.0.0.1:4173/#/.
  2. In the projectless Chats composer, send create todo list app.
  3. Within a few seconds after send, confirm the conversation shows a live Thinking overlay even if no detailed activity event has arrived yet.
  4. Confirm the composer shows a stop button while the turn is active.
  5. Wait for the assistant output and confirm the stop button is replaced by the normal send button after completion.
  6. Repeat in dark theme and confirm the live overlay and stop button remain readable.

Expected Results

  • Active thread status from thread/read, including { status: { type: "active" } }, keeps the selected thread marked in progress.
  • The live overlay renders default Thinking for any active selected thread, even before reasoning/activity text arrives.
  • The stop button is visible while the turn is active and disappears after completion.

Rollback/Cleanup

  • Stop the temporary Vite server if it was only used for this check.
  • Remove temporary projectless chat folders under ~/Documents/Codex/<today>/ if they are no longer needed.
