Workbench terminal dots stay lifecycle-only for ordinary shells. For Claude Code and Codex CLI, parse OSC titles already on the PTY stream so a running tab pulses while a turn executes and returns to steady green when the agent is idle.

DAN-75 — Workbench terminal status should show agent running vs turn finished.
Indicator colors

terminalIndicatorClass().What
When a live PTY is hosting Claude Code or Codex CLI, OSC titles already on the PTY stream overlay working vs waiting. Unknown CLIs and plain shells stay lifecycle-only. A false working signal is treated as worse than remaining on the lifecycle color.
Design (reuse, not new IPC)
Claude Code and Codex CLI already write OSC 0/2 titles (braille spinner while a turn runs;
✳/✱idle marker for Claude; project-only remainder for Codex). Strand parses them inconsumeTerminalAgentOutput. OSC 9;4 is honored only after the session is recognized.TERM_PROGRAM=Strandis unchanged.Verification
pnpm --filter ./ui exec tsc --noEmit— passpnpm --filter ./ui test— 556 tests passLive Claude Code / Codex CLI E2E is not available on this Linux agent VM.
Smoke on Mac (Daniels)
claude/codex: mid-turn → amber (may pulse); back at prompt → blue.
