[FEATURE]: Visual TUI background color change when agent completes a task #20921
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
When an agent finishes a task (or is waiting for input), it would be great if the TUI provided a visual color change that is easily identifiable when multiple OpenCode sessions are running side to side — for example, shifting background tint to black when ready but green when it is running — so you can tell at a glance that the agent is done without needing to actively watch it.
This is different from OS-level desktop notifications. Those are great for when you're in a different app entirely, but a TUI-level visual cue is more useful when you're still in the terminal but focused on another pane/tab. You see the color shift in your peripheral vision without context-switching.
OpenCode already supports per-agent colors and a rich theming system, so this could build on that foundation.

Retracting previous comment - this issue is NOT superseded by #24404. These are different features: #20921 requests full TUI BACKGROUND COLOR change (e.g., green when running, black when ready), while #24404 addresses status indicators with icons. Different scope entirely.
