When an agent is `working` but nothing new has arrived for `thinking_after_ms` (default 5s), the card shows a static `thinking… 12s` note — the model is reasoning between tool calls, not hung.

Consecutive same-tool steps fold into one group row (`▸ Edit ×3 `), collapsed by default. `j`/`k` moves the fold cursor between groups (the selected header is highlighted); `enter`/`space` expands a group into the connector tree above and collapses it again.

How it works

Two data layers feed the pane:

herdr socket ($HERDR_SOCKET_PATH) — the app holds a long-lived NDJSON connection: a session.snapshot seed, then events.subscribe on pane/agent lifecycle events. That supplies each pane's agent, status (idle / working / blocked / done), terminal title (the agent's own "what I'm doing now" str
