Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
I'd like to remove the sample text that is included in the left pane when a step is running, it's just distracting and not helpful. Just having the "Thinking" and the timer and the progress bar is good enough. I've noticed the progress bar doesn't always show up though, which is a bit confusing.
In this screenshot the text I'm referring to is:
Shipped by Braid's own run on this issue, merged as #19 (merge commit
d3234cd). The OpenSpec change is archived asopenspec/changes/archive/2026-09-14-remove-the-sample-text-running-sessions-5qm7wr/, andrun-spinegains four requirements (commitf717674).What changed: a running step's row in the left pane now shows only its status word and timer, e.g.
Reading · 4m 14s.4 tools read(events.ts)), and the streamed text (Stopped worker goes s…).silent for 9m,engine unreachable: …) but drops the trailing detail (— last: tool:bash,, last seen 1m 20s ago).The progress bar: the token meter is unchanged. It only draws once the step has reported its first token count, which is why it doesn't always show up at the start of a step. The change explains this but doesn't alter it; if you want the meter drawn empty from the first frame, that's a small follow-up.
Tested:
