Add activity indicator for chat operations

Shows a pulsing dot with status text during workflow execution, LLM
thinking, and tool use. Disables the input and send button while active
to prevent duplicate submissions. Also restructures the chat layout to
use flexbox with the input container locked at the bottom.
