turn indicator → Claude coral-orange brand accent (T-273)

The in-flight "Pondering…" turn indicator used muted grey; switch it to
the existing claudeAccent (#d97757, Anthropic's brand coral) — the
indicator is main-thread Claude running, which the accent is reserved for.

 ### Changed
 
+- The in-flight **turn indicator** ("Pondering…") now renders in Claude's
+  coral-orange brand accent instead of muted grey. (T-273)
 - A **sub-agent's prose and thinking** are now attributed to the **`agent`** (a
   muted stripe), not the main-thread coral **`claude`** — so a sub-agent's
   output is no longer presented as if the main Claude said it. Main-thread items
