Feature request

The spinnerVerbs setting allows customizing (or removing) the verb labels shown during tool execution, which is great. However, the "Thinking" label displayed during the model's extended thinking phase is not affected by this setting and cannot be configured.

Request: Extend the existing spinnerVerbs configuration (or add a separate setting) to allow hiding or customizing the "Thinking" label shown during extended thinking, so users who prefer a minimal/icon-only spinner experience can achieve it consistently across all phases.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Extend the spinnerVerbs configuration to include an option for customizing or hiding the "Thinking" label.

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of the spinnerVerbs setting to understand how it interacts with the spinner labels.
  • Consider adding a new property to the spinnerVerbs object specifically for the "Thinking" label, allowing users to customize or hide it.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of introducing a separate setting for the "Thinking" label, weighing the benefits of consistency against potential added complexity.
  • Assess the impact of this change on existing users and configurations, ensuring a smooth transition.

Example

// Potential extension of the spinnerVerbs setting
const spinnerVerbs = {
  start: 'Starting',
  succeed: 'Success',
  fail: 'Failed',
  thinking: 'Custom Thinking Label' // or null to hide
};

Notes

The ideal solution depends on the specific requirements and constraints of the project, including user experience goals and technical limitations.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Extend the spinnerVerbs configuration to include a "Thinking" label option, as this approach maintains consistency with the existing setting while addressing the user's request.
