[FEATURE]: Show a live running timer for prompts in the TUI #10739

Description

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Currently, the TUI only shows the total execution time after a prompt finishes, but there is no live timer while the prompt is still running.

For long-running prompts especially with slower models (e.g. 5.2 xhigh) it’s useful to know how long the prompt has been running so far. A live timer helps knowing if there is any progress happening or if its just stuck, also the desktop app already has this feature but its missing on the TUI version.

Proposed Enhancement

Add a live elapsed-time counter in the TUI that updates while a prompt is running, and then transitions to the final execution time once the prompt completes.

This could probably be displayed in the same area where the final duration is shown, but updated in real time during execution.

This is one good quality of life feature that i think is inside the desktop app but lacking in the TUI
