- Show spinner instead of trash icon while deletion is in progress - Expose isRemoving state via API so spinner persists across navigation - Make deletion idempotent: return Ok if already deleting (prevents races) - Add isRemoving field to FrontendWorkspaceMetadata schema

) ## Summary Improves workspace deletion UX in the archived workspaces list: 1. **Spinner feedback**: Replace trash icon with spinning loader while deletion is in progress 2. **Persist state across navigation**: Expose `isRemoving` via the workspace list API so the spinner shows even after navigating away and back 3. **Idempotent deletion**: Backend returns success (not error) if deletion is already in progress, preventing race conditions from double-clicks or concurrent tabs ## Motivation This PR is necessary for the Coder workspace integration, where workspace deletion can take 30+ seconds to several minutes due to remote API calls and cleanup operations. Without this change, users would see a briefly disabled button with no visual feedback, potentially leading to confusion or repeated delete attempts. ## Changes | File | Change | |------|--------| | `src/node/services/workspaceService.ts` | Add `isRemoving()` method, return `Ok` when already deleting, enrich `list()` with `isRemoving` | | `src/common/orpc/schemas/workspace.ts` | Add optional `isRemoving` field to `FrontendWorkspaceMetadataSchema` | | `src/browser/components/ArchivedWorkspaces.tsx` | Show `Loader2` spinner when deleting, combine local + API state for `isProcessing` | --- _Generated with `mux` • Model: `anthropic:claude-opus-4-5` • Thinking: `high` • Cost: `$6.28`_
