Summary

The computer's turn — the only loading state in the app.

Why it is drawn this way

Thinking is a state, not a spinner over everything. The turn pills swap which side is lit and the board simply stops accepting taps; the player can still read the position while the AI moves. A modal spinner would hide the one thing they are looking at.

Undo greys out for the same reason the cells do. Mid-AI-turn there is no coherent state to undo to.

There is no "Computer is thinking" caption. The lit O pill is the signal, and it is the same control that says whose turn it is for the rest of the game.
