feat(status): engineering-themed thinking verbs instead of philosophy ones

The "Pondering / Cogitating / Ruminating / Mulling / Marinating" set
reads as gentle-assistant whimsy. Swap for verbs that describe actual
machine work — Compiling, Indexing, Resolving, Parsing, Tracing,
Diffing, Profiling, Computing, Linking, Optimizing, Stashing. Same
cycle interval and length budget; different aesthetic. Reads as
"your computer is doing work" rather than "your assistant is pondering."
