Description of problem:

In some workflows, when a retrigger dependency changes, the ActiveText widget briefly shows the previous ui:text while the new fetch is pending. This happens during the debounce window before the fetch actually starts, so the spinner is not shown even though new data is about to be fetched. In production latency this is visible to users.

Expected behavior: once retrigger dependencies change, show spinner immediately and keep it until the latest fetch + evaluation completes.

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

Steps to Reproduce

 # <steps>

Actual results:

After retrigger change, UI briefly shows old ui:text until the debounced fetch begins; spinner only appears once fetch starts.

Expected results:

Spinner should display immediately on retrigger change and stay visible until the latest fetch finishes and evaluation completes.
