Add Animated Spinner for “Waiting for user confirmation” State in CLI #13395

What would you like to be added?

I would like the CLI to display an animated spinner during the “Waiting for user confirmation” state instead of the current static "⠏" character. This would involve updating the GeminiRespondingSpinner component to render the existing GeminiSpinner, and adjusting LoadingIndicator to remove the static fallback.

Why is this needed?

The current static character gives no visual indication that the CLI is still active, which can cause confusion for users—especially when a confirmation prompt appears during longer workflows. Replacing it with an animated spinner makes the UI more consistent with other states (such as Responding), improves clarity, and enhances the overall user experience by signaling that the system is running and awaiting input.
