Completed thinking steps now show a plain "thought for Ns" status line

What

When Claude finishes a thinking step, the status line now shows a simple "thought for Ns" message, where N is the number of seconds elapsed (rounded, with a minimum of 1 second), replacing separate wording that varied by thinking type.

Why

This gives a consistent, simple way to see how long Claude spent thinking on a completed step.
