6 * ClaudeThinking — Claude Code's "working" line.
7 *
8 * A pulsing sparkle glyph, a whimsical verb, and a live elapsed / interrupt
9 * hint. The verb carries Claude's understated shimmer: a lighter highlight
10 * drifts across the terracotta word like a gradient wave (done with
11 * background-clip: text so the DOM text stays selectable and announced). The
12 * whole line is a polite live region for screen readers.
