Sidebar Activity Pulse Plan

Goal

Add real-time "Pace & Speed" visualization to the Sidebar.

User Review Required

Note

Token count is an estimation (Chars / 4) because real-time token counts are not available in the stream chunks.

Proposed Changes

1. Update App (opencode-ink.mjs)

• Pass thinkingStats prop to <Sidebar />.

2. Update Sidebar Component (opencode-ink.mjs)

• New Section: "⚡ ACTIVITY"
• Logic:
  • estTokens = Math.floor(thinkingStats.chars / 4)
  • speed = ... (Calculate chars/sec if possible, or just show raw counts first).
• Visuals:
  • Running: 1,240 chars
  • Est. Tokens: 310
  • [▓▓▓░░] Pulse (Simple animation or spinner?) -> "⚡ PROCESSING" blinking?

Verification Plan

1. Run Chat: Ask a long question.
2. Observe: Check Sidebar for "⚡ ACTIVITY" section.
3. Confirm: Verify numbers increase in real-time.
