`CodexWorking` renders `• Working (13s • esc to interrupt)`. A highlight sweeps across the label and the bullet blinks. Both animations use the Web Animations API, so there are no keyframes to add, and they stay off when the user prefers reduced motion. It has `role="status"`.

| Prop | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `label` | `Working` | The shimmering label. |
| `elapsed` | `0s` | Time shown in the parentheses. |

`CodexInterrupted` is the red `■ Conversation interrupted` line after a turn you stopped with Escape. Pass children to change the text.
