Release notes
The status row says what it's waiting on
A turn used to sit on a generic status until the model started writing. The row now names the step — preparing context, connecting a tool, or waiting for the model — and if that step goes quiet it says so.
Fixed
- Before the first token, the status reads Starting…, Preparing context…, Connecting to a tool…, or Waiting for the model…
- A step that lasts more than a few seconds adds a one-line explanation: still preparing, waiting for a tool to sign in, or the model hasn't started.
- If the model goes quiet, the row says how long it has been silent and offers Keep waiting, Stop, and, when a fallback model is set, Try fallback model.
- Sending a message marks the chat running immediately. If the send fails, the text goes back into the composer and the turn says why it didn't start.
- Opening a page in the browser pane no longer blanks the view.
