hasActiveSpinner
hasActiveSpinner(
text):boolean
Defined in: src/blocked.ts:65
True when the terminal tail shows an actively-working Claude Code turn — a
glyph-anchored spinner line with an elapsed-time counter or the legacy
“esc to interrupt” hint. Scans the same last-15-non-empty-lines window as
classifyBlocked (the spinner always sits just above the input box; this
avoids matching stale scrollback).
Why this exists: herdr can latch agent_status=blocked after the user
answers a permission/elicitation dialog, reporting “blocked” for the rest
of the working turn. A “blocked” agent whose TUI shows a live turn spinner
is actually working, not waiting on the user — this is a defensive guard
against that upstream herdr bug.
