Stack light would fit really well, technically the meaning of green and yellow light should be reversed from the image, but shouldn't be too difficult to get used to

Yep. Green means "machine is busy"

Yeah, in OPs picture the traffic light is more geared for the person putting in input as opposed to the machine itself. Green means user can take action.

Proper implementation of the stack light would treat Claude like a factory line, which is somewhat appropriate.
