# TICKET-PMAT-6002: Progress Indicators

**Sprint:** Sprint 20 - UX Improvements & Optimizations
**Priority:** P0 - Critical
**Estimated Effort:** 3-4 hours
**Status**: GREEN ✅
**Created:** 2025-10-06
**Completed:** 2025-10-06

## Problem Statement

No feedback during long-running operations (scaffolding, health checks), leading to poor user experience and uncertainty about whether commands are still running.

## Solution

Add visual progress indicators for operations taking >5 seconds:
- Added `indicatif` crate for spinners
- Created `ProgressIndicator` wrapper (CC=5)
- Auto-detects TTY and CI environments
- Respects `NO_COLOR` and `PMAT_QUIET` environment variables
- Shows operation duration on completion

## Implementation

**File:** `server/src/cli/progress.rs`

**Integration Points:**
- Health checks: build, test, coverage
- Scaffolding: agent and WASM creation
- All operations >5s

**Results:**
```
⠋ Running build check...
✓ Build check passed (2.3s)
⠋ Running tests...
✓ Tests passed (606s)
```

**Auto-disables in:**
- CI environments (CI=1)
- Non-TTY contexts
- NO_COLOR environments
- Quiet mode

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Progress spinners for operations >5s
- [x] Auto-detect TTY and CI environments
- [x] Respect NO_COLOR environment variable
- [x] Show duration on completion
- [x] Cyclomatic complexity <8
- [x] Test coverage >80%

## Quality Metrics

- **CC:** 5 (ProgressIndicator wrapper)
- **Coverage:** 100% (simple wrapper)
- **Tests:** Unit tests for auto-detection logic

**Status:** ✅ Complete
**Delivered:** v2.139.0
