WARNING: This changelog entry is still the raw generated notes and does not follow the release changelog process.

The release-jetbrains skill (SKILL.md) requires filtering this section to JetBrains/CLI-relevant changes and rewriting terse PR titles into user-facing bullets grouped under ### Added / ### Fixed / ### Changed (compare the curated [7.1.7-rc.2] and [7.1.7-rc.1] entries below). As written, the entry ships VS Code-only changes (feat(vscode): …, fix(vscode): …), docs/chore/test/refactor items, and even the prior release(jetbrains): v7.1.7-rc.2 PR under ### Changed — none of which are JetBrains plugin changes a user would see.

SUGGESTION: The word scheduled does not correspond to anything in this JetBrains release. The change behind this bullet is PR #14365 (feat(jetbrains): polish progress and create actions), which adds a shimmering busy status, centers the progress footer row, and centers the tool-window create actions. Scheduled wakeup status was a VS Code-only change (PR #14292) and is correctly excluded here, so the current wording may confuse readers.

Suggested change

	- Show scheduled/progress polish for session actions with a shimmering progress footer.
	- Polish the session progress status with a shimmering busy indicator and a centered footer, and center the tool-window create actions.
