The saved-signature browse/delete/place controls gave too little feedback, so users re-clicked them repeatedly (the icon-only Use/Remove buttons were the top rage-click target on /sign, alongside Pause/Resume placement). - Remove is async (a network round-trip for backend storage) but showed no loading state and stayed enabled, so repeated clicks fired several delete requests and, once one resolved, the next signature slid into the same card slot — looking like nothing happened. It now shows a spinner and disables the category controls while the delete is in flight. - Use is an icon-only control with no confirmation; it now shows a transient "Selected" success state so the click clearly registers. - The saved-signature carousel now wraps around so it is quicker to cycle. - Pause/Resume placement gained descriptive tooltips and clearer paused-state copy explaining what the mode does and how to resume (button or Esc). - Signing is applied client-side (endpoint: null), so completions never reached the shared execute path that emits editor_operation. Emit it on a successful apply so abandonment on this flow is measurable. Generated-By: PostHog Code Task-Id: 4cd0e9d7-9785-4553-83cf-c6a6ca9c270b
