Description

As a user waiting for AI response

I want to see engaging feedback during thinking

So that I know the system is working and don't think it's frozen

Description:
Improve the thinking/loading animation during AI response:

Current: Simple "..." with pulse animation

Improved ideas:

  1. Terminal cursor: Blinking cursor effect
  2. Typewriter effect: Characters appearing one by one
  3. Matrix rain: Subtle falling characters in background
  4. Scanning line: Horizontal line moving across message box

Choose one or combine:

  • Primary: Typing indicator with cycling dots
  • Secondary: Subtle scanline effect on chat box

Tech Notes:

  • CSS animations only
  • Should not block UI
  • Graceful degradation for reduced motion

Story Points: 1

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Animation plays during AI response
  • Animation stops when response received
  • Respects prefers-reduced-motion
