What

A settings step that checks whether the GitHub CLI (gh) is installed now shows a spinner with the message 'Checking GitHub CLI installation…', along with a hint for how to cancel it.

Why

This gives a clearer visual signal while Claude Code checks for gh on your system, instead of leaving that step silent, and lets you cancel out of it if needed.
