`GeminiThinking` pairs an animated `GeminiSparkle` with a label that runs the [Shimmer](/components/shimmer). It's a polite live region, so screen readers announce label changes.

| Prop | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `label` | `Searching the web` | The status text. Gemini also shows "Thinking". |
| `reducedMotion` | system setting | Stops the sparkle when `true`. |
