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`.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
