Summary

Tags each research phase with a distinct emoji on the spinner line: 🔎 researching, 🧐 reviewing, ❌ findings rejected, ✍️ writing report.
The search_web and fetch_page tools now update the spinner's message live (🌐 searching / 📄 fetching) via a small shared handle in progress.rs, since tool functions don't otherwise have a reference to the currently running spinner.

Test plan

cargo build -p deep_research
cargo clippy -p deep_research (clean)
Manual run: cargo run -p deep_research -- "some topic" and watch the spinner line change through search/fetch/review/report phases

Add emoji indicators for each research phase on the progress spinner 5c50f75a8a

Tag each phase (research, web search, page fetch, review, rejection,
report writing) with a distinct emoji so the spinner line shows what's
happening at a glance. Search/fetch tool calls now update the active
spinner's message directly via a small shared handle, since they run
as plain tool functions without one threaded down to them otherwise.
