Implements #18162

This updates the TUI terminal title to show an explicit action-required state when Codex is blocked on user approval or input. The terminal title now uses the activity title item to cover both active work and blocked-on-user states, while still accepting the legacy spinner config value.

Changes

  • Rename the terminal title item from spinner to activity while preserving legacy config compatibility
  • Show [ ! ] Action Required while approval or input overlays are active, with a blinking [ . ] alternate state
  • Suppress the normal working spinner while Codex is blocked on user action
  • Add targeted coverage for action-required title behavior and legacy title-item parsing

Testing

  • Trigger an approval or input modal and confirm the tab title alternates between [ ! ] Action Required and [ . ] Action Required
  • Disable the activity title item and confirm the action-required title does not appear
  • Resolve the prompt and confirm the title returns to the normal spinning/idel state
