## 🐛 Bug Fixes

### Fix MCP Elicitation Deadlock and Improve UX ([#6650](https://github.com/block/goose/pull/6650))

Fixed a critical deadlock in MCP elicitation that caused requests to timeout immediately when an MCP server called `elicitInput()`.

**The Problem:**
When an MCP server triggered elicitation, the form would appear in the UI but immediately timeout due to a deadlock in the agent's tool execution loop.

**The Solution:**
- **Rust (agent.rs):** Changed the tool execution loop to use `tokio::select!` with a 100ms timeout, allowing the loop to periodically check for elicitation messages even when tools are blocked
- **UI (ElicitationRequest.tsx):** Added visual feedback including:
  - Countdown timer showing time remaining (5 minutes)
  - Pulsing clock icon with "Waiting for your response" message
  - Urgent state that turns red when under 60 seconds
  - Clear expired message when time runs out
