Summary

Fixes a regression where setting ui.loadingPhrases=off also hid model thought summaries in the loading row.

Problem

Composer suppressed thought whenever loading phrases were off, which incorrectly removed thinking summaries during normal Responding state.

Changes

  • Updated both LoadingIndicator call sites in Composer to suppress thought only for StreamingState.WaitingForConfirmation.
  • Kept currentLoadingPhrase suppression for ui.loadingPhrases=off unchanged.
  • Updated Composer test coverage to assert thought text remains visible when loading phrases are off.

Validation

  • npm test -w @google/gemini-cli -- src/ui/components/Composer.test.tsx src/ui/components/LoadingIndicator.test.tsx src/ui/hooks/useGeminiStream.test.tsx src/ui/hooks/useLoadingIndicator.test.tsx
  • npm run lint --workspace=@google/gemini-cli
  • npm run typecheck --workspace=@google/gemini-cli

Fixes #20496

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a regression that caused thought summaries to be unintentionally hidden when the ui.loadingPhrases setting was turned off. The changes ensure that thought summaries are displayed correctly during the Responding state, providing a more consistent user experience by only suppressing them when the system is explicitly waiting for user confirmation.

Highlights

  • Bug Fix: Resolved a regression where disabling ui.loadingPhrases incorrectly hid model thought summaries, even during active Responding states.
  • Logic Update: Modified the Composer component to ensure thought summaries are only suppressed when the StreamingState is WaitingForConfirmation, not when ui.loadingPhrases is off.
  • Test Coverage: Updated existing tests and added new assertions to verify that thought text remains visible when loading phrases are disabled, confirming the fix.
Changelog
  • packages/cli/src/ui/components/Composer.test.tsx
    • Updated test description to reflect that LoadingIndicator should render with thought when loading phrases are off.
    • Modified assertion to expect the LoadingIndicator to contain the thought text, validating the fix.
  • packages/cli/src/ui/components/Composer.tsx
    • Removed the condition settings.merged.ui.loadingPhrases === 'off' from the thought prop logic for LoadingIndicator components.
    • Ensured thought is only undefined when uiState.streamingState is StreamingState.WaitingForConfirmation.

Code Review

This pull request addresses a regression where disabling loading phrases also incorrectly hid the model's thought summaries. The changes in Composer.tsx correctly separate the logic for displaying thoughts from the loading phrases setting, ensuring thought summaries remain visible as intended. The fix is applied consistently to both instances of the LoadingIndicator. The test updates in Composer.test.tsx are also appropriate, confirming the corrected behavior.
