Previously this fallback text was different. Also, the code no longer adds a trailing \"...\" to the message if the text already ends with one.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis 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.\n\n- Area: UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
