@srtaalej I also changed the semver tag to be patch! For "experiments" we're planning to release these all under patch versions to avoid signaling more meaningful or stable updates 🐭

✅ Great work @srtaalej!

🧪 I haven't manually tested this. Just want to check that one of you have already done it before we merge?

✏️ I left a minor suggestion, I think it's worth a discussion, but we can do it in a 2nd PR!

suggestion(non-blocking): This can be a follow-up PR (probably better if it is). I think it would be really nice if Bolt provided sensible defaults.

  • status: "Thinking..." when no status is provided
  • loading_messages:: a list of 5 fun, witty loading messages that are used when no loading messages are provided

This function is called a lot. So, it'll be nice if developers can start with agent.set_status() and have a solid experience out of the box. Then customize it later.
