Thinking State
A shimmer, dots or a pulse beside one word, the step it is on right now, and a timer that appears after three seconds. Steps fold away behind the row, and when it finishes it stays in the thread as "Thought for 6s" with the reasoning one click away.

Props
Read from the component’s own TypeScript interface when the site is built, so this table cannot drift from the file you install.
| Prop | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
label | string | One word for what is happening. Default "Thinking". |
detail | string | What it is doing right now. Changes are crossfaded. |
steps | ThinkingStep[] | The trail so far. With steps, the row becomes a button that unfolds them. |
done | boolean | Finished. Stops the motion and reads "Thought for 6s". |
seconds | number | Seconds taken. Counted from mount when left out. |
variant | "shimmer" | "dots" | "pulse" | `shimmer` sweeps the label, `dots` bounce beside it, `pulse` breathes the mark. Default `shimmer`. |
defaultOpen | boolean | Whether the steps start unfolded. Default false. |
open | boolean | — |
onOpenChange | (open: boolean) => void | — |
