[Feature Request] Introduce a status indicator to prevent "Waiting for agents" terminal spam

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

We would like to introduce a dedicated, collapsible "Agentic View" (similar to Claude Code's agent execution display) or an inline status indicator, instead of printing repetitive agent status logs directly in the main chat/terminal history.

Key changes requested:

Default Hide/Collapse: By default, hide the detailed agent transition logs (such as • Waiting for agents and • Finished waiting └ No agents completed yet).

Dedicated Status Line / Spinner: Replace the spammy log lines with a single, dynamic status indicator or a spinner at the bottom of the active CLI view.
