A task an agent is running: the steps arrive as it works, the tokens climb, and when it lands the whole run folds into one line you can deal back out.

Add the "Agent" component from notboring to my project.
It is licensed for use in my projects — notboring.dev/license. Please:
1. Create the component at a sensible path for this
project, named Agent, from the source below.
2. Install what it needs: npm i lucide-react
3. Add the CSS to the project's stylesheet.
4. THE PART THAT NEEDS YOUR JUDGMENT. The CSS reads
these custom properties and does not define them:
--card
--font-code
--font-ui
--ink
--ink-4
--ink-5
--ink-rgb
--on-ink
They are notboring's design tokens. Map each one to
whatever this project already uses for the same
job — its own ink, ground, surface and UI font —
rather than defining them as new globals. If the
project has no equivalent, define it locally on
the component's own root so nothing leaks out.
Anything ending -rgb wants three bare numbers,
because the CSS builds rgba() from it.
5. IF YOU CHANGE IT, GO ALL THE WAY. This block is
built for every state its object can really be
in — empty, one, full, refused, undone, pressed
twice, interrupted halfway — and not only the one
the demo opens on. Adapt it and the same standard
holds: work out that list before you write, and
build the whole of it. Never settle for the
minimum that makes the screenshot right. A
component somebody has to come back and finish is
the thing this was written to replace.
Keep the comments. They say why the numbers are what
they are, and they are most of what makes this worth
copying rather than rewriting.

/* ══ Agent ════════════════════════════════════════════════
A task an agent is running: the plan up front, and each
step lighting as it is done.
ONE NUMBER IS THE WHOLE RUN. Not a chain of timeouts each
setting a piece of state — the elapsed milliseconds, and
everything else is arithmetic on it: which step is turning,
which are checked, the clock in the corner and the tokens
at the foot. A run that is four timers is four things that
can disagree; a run that is one number cannot be
half-finished in two different ways, and stopping it is
simply not asking for the next value.
THE PLAN IS THERE BEFORE THE RUN IS. All four steps are on
the card from the first frame, dim, with an empty ring —
because an agent that has decided what it is going to do
has decided it all at once, and a list that grows a row at
a time is a card with a hole in the bottom of it for most
of the run. What moves is the light, down the list.
THE RING BECOMES THE CHECK. It does not swap for it: the
The rest — the source and its comments — is what the plan opens.
