How to understand the visible action and status trail in Agent chat.

Agent action rows show how Reia is working through a request. They make the answer easier to inspect because you can see when Reia searched files, read a table, traced a value, ran analysis, updated an assumption, used web research, generated an image, or edited a working document.Open an action row when you want more context. Details may show the source, query, file, table, value, or output Reia used for that step. Use those details to decide what to inspect next, especially when a number, source, or assumption will matter outside the chat.When Reia is answering, the footer shows live working status, elapsed time, and the `esc interrupt` hint. If you send a follow-up while work is still running, the footer may show pending messages. Pending messages run after the current response finishes.Use `/status` after at least one message has run when you want a compact snapshot of the chat state. The status card can show session state, selected response settings, token usage, context remaining, limits, and pending message count when available.Treat action rows as a review trail, not a separate report. For important conclusions, follow the visible sources, open the related file or workspace panel, and ask a narrow follow-up when the trail needs more support.
