What does this PR do?

Clarifies current Signal tool-progress behavior in the user docs. Signal accepts /verbose and can save a per-platform tool_progress mode, but the current gateway suppresses tool-progress bubbles for adapters without message editing support. The previous docs implied Signal could show each progress update as a separate message, which does not match the runtime path.

This docs-only update tells users to keep Signal tool_progress off for now and use the CLI or an editing-capable messaging platform when they need live tool-call visibility.

Related Issue

No issue filed. Follow-up from Discord support thread 1512915763521126460. Related runtime feature work exists separately in #34561.

Type of Change

  • 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • 🔒 Security fix
  • 📝 Documentation update
  • ✅ Tests (adding or improving test coverage)
  • ♻️ Refactor (no behavior change)
  • 🎯 New skill (bundled or hub)

Changes Made

  • Updated website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md to say Signal suppresses gateway tool-progress bubbles despite saved non-off modes.
  • Added a Signal-specific note in website/docs/user-guide/messaging/signal.md explaining that Signal lacks sent-message editing and currently shows final replies, not live per-tool progress bubbles.

How to Test

  1. Read website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md and confirm the display.tool_progress section no longer implies Signal emits separate progress messages.
  2. Read website/docs/user-guide/messaging/signal.md and confirm the Signal page explains current tool-progress behavior.
  3. N/A: markdown-only docs correction; no docs build run locally.
