What
The short status message Claude Code shows next to its spinner while it's processing now falls back to the plain word "Working" when no other message is available. Previously this fallback text was different. Also, the code no longer adds a trailing "..." to the message if the text already ends with one.
Why
This avoids showing an awkward or duplicated ellipsis ("...") after the status text, and gives a clearer default label when Claude Code has nothing more specific to say about what it's doing.
