Category: fix
User Impact: Status messages like "goose is thinking..." have been refactored to first-person action statements like "Thinking..." to make the agent feel less awkward.
Problem: A user pointed out that status indicators acting in the third-person ("goose is working on it...") feels detached and like an uninvited guest.
Solution: Removed the "goose is" prefix from all UI loading/status strings to standardize on action-oriented verbs.

File changes

LoadingGoose.tsx
Updated default messages for thinking, working, waiting, and compacting states.

en.json
Updated english localization JSON strings to match the new action-forward phrases.

Fixes #8645
