* Flight Plan: Chat UI Refinement & Preamble Suppression
:PROPERTIES:
:STATUS: IN-PROGRESS
:END:

** Analyst Phase
The user is seeing the agent's meta-commentary (e.g., "Okay, I've inserted...") and the "Thinking..." status block is not being removed. This is because:
1. The LLM prompt is not strict enough about forbidding explanations.
2. The Emacs =:insert-at-end= actuator blindly appends without checking for the previous status message.

** Coder Phase
- [X] Create =inbox/flight-plan-chat-ui-fix.org= (this file).
- [ ] Update =projects/opencortex/src/opencortex.el= to replace "Thinking..." lines.
- [ ] Update =notes/org-skill-chat.org= to suppress conversational preamble.
- [ ] Tangle and restart.

** Tester Phase
1. Tangle all modified files.
2. Restart the daemon.
3. Reload =opencortex.el= in Emacs.
4. Test chat and verify:
   - "Thinking..." is replaced by the response.
   - No "Okay, I've inserted..." preamble appears.
