Spinning Cursor creates accessibility challenge

What version of Codex CLI is running?

codex-cli 0.117.0

What subscription do you have?

business

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.4

What platform is your computer?

linux

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

mate-terminal plus orca screen reader

What issue are you seeing?

I am blind. somewhere between .114 and the latest version, codex has started consistently repainting the line of the screen including my current directory.
I'm in a project called agentic-document-editor.
So constantly while running codex keeps saying "agentic dash document dash editor agentic dash document dash editor agentic ddash document dash editor. . ."
I think a spinning cursor or something got added.
What's worse, this text manages to interrupt output I get by manually scrolling around using screen reader commands.
So, if I'm trying to look for tool output, I get interrupted by the repaint.
I appreciate that this spinning cursor is probably really nice for sighted people, but it would be a great accessibility improvement if there could be a config option to turn it off.
Codex is already chatty, but it's taken chatty to unusable for blind users using Orca in the latest revision.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Enable Orca. Often this is alt-super-s on linux.
Pull up the codex UI.
Ask it to do anything.
Listen and cry.

What is the expected behavior?

I would like some documented mechanism to turn this off for improved accessibility.
