Center the thinking accordion’s scroll-to-bottom arrow and make overflowing tool status text scroll in a continuous circular loop. The carousel repeats the current text without pausing or snapping back, preserves its position across duplicate events and tense changes, and replaces the text when a new status arrives. The repeated copy is hidden from screen readers; reduced motion keeps a single static copy.

Validation:

• Full local suite passed: 557 suites, 6,682 tests (19 opt-in suites skipped). The focused status-line, status-bar, controller, tool-event, and reasoning-scroll suites also passed.
• Regression tests fail against the previous carousel implementation.
• Chromium checks using the bundled production component and stylesheet passed: lap continuity, constant speed, duplicate accessibility, tense and resize stability, new-status replacement, and reduced motion.
• TypeScript, targeted ESLint, mobile import reachability, CSS parsing, Nexus skill gates, and git diff checks passed.

Obsidian CLI could not connect, so browser component checks provide rendering evidence; this has not been verified inside Obsidian.
