Feedback:
The green status dot (terminal active/working) confuses users — they assume it means read/unread. A "green dot" is the universal UI pattern for "Unread Notification" or "Online Status".
Recommendation:
Change the visual language first. If the indicator means "Terminal state", it should look like a tiny terminal prompt (>_) or an animated pulse that turns green/gray. If the bell means "Unread", consider using a standard blue dot • for unread items instead of a bell.
