The status-line narration generator now counts rounds per turn (roundsThisTurn) and only fires once that count exceeds a threshold, instead of firing on every message-length change. This delays the "thinking about..." style status narration until a turn has been running for a couple of rounds. A new subsystem builds a digest of the current turn (user request, recent steps, task list, running tool calls) and asks a model to write a single-sentence terminal status line summarizing progress, logged as [narration] refreshed.
Status-line narration now skips the first rounds of a turn
Status-line narration waits a couple of rounds into a turn, then summarizes progress in one sentence.
