The status-line spinner can now be 'parked' to skip its faster animation speed

What

The animated spinner (the little "glimmer" indicator shown while Claude Code is working) now supports a glimmerParked flag. Normally, the spinner ticks faster (every 50ms) while a request is in progress. With glimmerParked set, that faster speed no longer kicks in even while a request is active - the faster tick only applies when a request is in progress and the spinner is not parked.

Why

This gives Claude Code a way to keep the spinner in a slower, calmer animation state even during an active request, for situations where the faster animation isn't wanted.
