feat(web): whimsical rotating verb on the composer stop button - #46
Conversation
Accessible-only for now: the stop-generation button is a fixed-size icon-only circle, so the rotating verb (Pondering, Noodling, ...) only reaches aria-label/title, not a visible label.
Wires useSpinnerVerb into ComposerFooterPrimaryActions, the wrapper that actually renders in the live composer, next to the existing "Preparing worktree..." label slot.

The composer displays the verb in its footer, and the stop button uses the same verb in its accessibility label and title. Worktree preparation remains the higher-priority status. Morty, even status text gets a lifecycle now. ChangesSpinner status behavior

In `@apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerPrimaryActions.tsx`:
- Line 86: Move the useSpinnerVerb state to ChatComposer, pass its spinnerVerb
value into ComposerPrimaryActions, and remove the local useSpinnerVerb call
there so the footer and stop-control labels share one value. Preserve the
parent’s existing null return during worktree preparation.

…p button Each called useSpinnerVerb independently, so the visible footer text and the stop button's aria-label/title could show two different verbs at the same moment. ComposerFooterPrimaryActions now owns the hook and passes the value down.

taskLabel || activity.summary), never empty, so faking a verb there would replace real diagnostic info with a joke instead of filling an actual gap.Validation
