The running view showed one fixed line for up to 15 minutes, which reads as a
hang. js/running-status.js maps elapsed run time to a line, starting neutral
("Searching Confluence…") and getting more playful at 20 s, 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11
minutes, in the same register as the Exit queue button. app.js re-evaluates
the line every 5 s from wall-clock time (correct after background-tab
throttling), restarts the clock when the running state is entered after a
queue wait, and stops the ticker when the view leaves the running state. The
backend streams no progress, so no line claims a specific activity.
Submit joins the admission queue first and sends the PAT only once the
reservation is held. Queued state shows the shaping orb, ordinal position
with estimate, and an exit button whose label changes with the wait;
running switches the orb to solving. Rejoin once on a lost reservation or
ticket, best-effort leave on pagehide. Mock server gains the queue
endpoints and five scenarios; contract, unit and e2e tests cover them.
Replace the gear spinner with the thinking-orbs canvas engine (vendored
framework-free build, driven by js/orb.js in the "solving" state) and the
inline SVG brand icon with a pure CSS book whose cover flips open on page
load and while the brand is hovered (js/logo.js).
Static frontend with vendored marked/DOMPurify, bounded Markdown
pipeline, same-origin mock server with scenario selection, unit,
contract and CDP end-to-end tests under frontend/**.
