Expandable File Change and Command activity boxes

[Quicksaver]

Summary

Adds inline expandable work-log details for file-change and command activities in the conversation timeline.

What Changed

• Render command activity rows as clickable expandable rows.

  • Goal: keep the collapsed Ran command - <command> preview compact while making command details available inline.
  • Expanded rows show command, differing raw command, exit code, duration, and any stdout/stderr/output streams.

• Add command output rendering helpers.

  • Goal: hide empty output blocks and keep long command output readable.
  • Output streams trim only outer empty lines, preserve intentional blank lines inside output, show the last 40 lines by default, and toggle to the full stream when clicked.

• Render file-change activity rows as clickable expandable rows.

  • Goal: keep the collapsed Changed files - <path> preview compact while avoiding a jump to the full turn diff panel.
  • Expanded rows render available patches through the existing FileDiff viewer.
  • If no patch is available, expanded rows list changed paths inline.

• Extract richer command and patch metadata from tool activity payloads.

  • Goal: support Codex/provider payload shapes that include stdout, stderr, exit code, duration, shell-wrapped raw commands, hunk-only diffs, content-only add diffs, nested patch data, and gitignored file patches when the provider emits patch data.

• Add coverage for timeline rendering and session activity derivation.

  • Goal: lock in expandable command/file-change behavior, output trimming/toggling rules, command metadata extraction, and inline patch normalization.

Why

Individual command and diff events are mostly opaque currently. We can somewhat see what the agent is doing, but we don't have a clear picture of what each command actually outputs, or what each file change actually produced.

Usually that's fine, most times we inspect the end result and trust the agent. Sometimes it's good to inspect a little deeper. For commands we can help steer by debugging their output, or just compare the results with manual runs. For diffs we can see better follow along the multiple changes an agent makes, or even inspect changes to git-ignored files (which don't appear on the main diff panel).

UI Changes

---

Note

Medium Risk
Large UI and payload-parsing changes in the chat timeline and session-logic derivation; behavior is heavily tested but provider payload edge cases and rendering large diffs/output could affect performance or display correctness.

Overview
Adds inline expandable details for command and file-change work-log rows in the messages timeline, so collapsed previews stay compact while stdout/stderr, exit metadata, and patches are available without opening the turn diff panel.

Timeline UI — SimpleWorkEntryRow gains expand/collapse (keyboard + chevron, aria-expanded). Expanded command rows show command/raw command, exit code, duration, and output streams via new helpers that hide whitespace-only output, preserve intentional blank lines, and default long stdout/stderr to the last 40 lines with expand/collapse. File-change rows render inline FileDiff when a patch exists, otherwise changed-file chips.

Activity derivation — WorkLogEntry and deriveWorkLogEntries now populate stdout, stderr, output, exitCode, durationMs, and patch from varied provider payloads (including incremental tool.updated merging, Codex command/file shapes, hunk-only diffs normalized to unified patches, and bounded patch extraction with size limits). Expandability is gated by item type so non-command tools (e.g. web search) do not pick up stray stdout as command UI.

Note

Add expandable command output and file diff sections to work entry rows in the chat timeline

• SimpleWorkEntryRow in MessagesTimeline.tsx now supports expand/collapse with chevron icons, keyboard handling (Enter/Space), and aria attributes for accessibility.
• New CommandEntryDetails component renders command metadata, stdout/stderr (truncated to last 40 lines with an expand toggle), exit code, and duration; FileChangeEntryDetails renders inline unified diffs with a path/stats header or falls back to file badges and raw patch text.
• session-logic.ts adds output, stdout, stderr, exitCode, durationMs, and patch fields to WorkLogEntry, extracted and normalized from heterogeneous provider payloads (including Codex and legacy shapes) via new extractCommandResult and extractToolPatch helpers.
• Streaming tool updates are coalesced via mergeTextOutput, which handles prefix/suffix overlap and newline boundaries across tool.updated and tool.completed events.
• Behavioral Change: partial or non-unified diffs in payloads are now synthesized into proper unified patch format before rendering; patch extraction is bounded by depth and total size guards to prevent excessive traversal.

  • Goal: support Codex/provider payload shapes that include stdout, stderr, exit code, duration, shell-wrapped raw commands, hunk-only diffs, content-only add diffs, nested patch data, and gitignored file patches when the provider emits patch data.

• Add coverage for timeline rendering and session activity derivation.

  • Goal: lock in expandable command/file-change behavior, output trimming/toggling rules, command metadata extraction, and inline patch normalization.

Why

Individual command and diff events are mostly opaque currently. We can somewhat see what the agent is doing, but we don't have a clear picture of what each command actually outputs, or what each file change actually produced.

Usually that's fine, most times we inspect the end result and trust the agent. Sometimes it's good to inspect a little deeper. For commands we can help steer by debugging their output, or just compare the results with manual runs. For diffs we can see better follow along the multiple changes an agent makes, or even inspect changes to git-ignored files (which don't appear on the main diff panel).

UI Changes

---

Note

Medium Risk
Large UI and payload-parsing changes in the chat timeline and session-logic derivation; behavior is heavily tested but provider payload edge cases and rendering large diffs/output could affect performance or display correctness.

Overview
Adds inline expandable details for command and file-change work-log rows in the messages timeline, so collapsed previews stay compact while stdout/stderr, exit metadata, and patches are available without opening the turn diff panel.

Timeline UI — SimpleWorkEntryRow gains expand/collapse (keyboard + chevron, aria-expanded). Expanded command rows show command/raw command, exit code, duration, and output streams via new helpers that hide whitespace-only output, preserve intentional blank lines, and default long stdout/stderr to the last 40 lines with expand/collapse. File-change rows render inline FileDiff when a patch exists, otherwise changed-file chips.

Activity derivation — WorkLogEntry and deriveWorkLogEntries now populate stdout, stderr, output, exitCode, durationMs, and patch from varied provider payloads (including incremental tool.updated merging, Codex command/file shapes, hunk-only diffs normalized to unified patches, and bounded patch extraction with size limits). Expandability is gated by item type so non-command tools (e.g. web search) do not pick up stray stdout as command UI.

Note

Add expandable command output and file diff sections to work entry rows in the chat timeline

• SimpleWorkEntryRow in MessagesTimeline.tsx now supports expand/collapse with chevron icons, keyboard handling (Enter/Space), and aria attributes for accessibility.
• New CommandEntryDetails component renders command metadata, stdout/stderr (truncated to last 40 lines with an expand toggle), exit code, and duration; FileChangeEntryDetails renders inline unified diffs with a path/stats header or falls back to file badges and raw patch text.
• session-logic.ts adds output, stdout, stderr, exitCode, durationMs, and patch fields to WorkLogEntry, extracted and normalized from heterogeneous provider payloads (including Codex and legacy shapes) via new extractCommandResult and extractToolPatch helpers.
• Streaming tool updates are coalesced via mergeTextOutput, which handles prefix/suffix overlap and newline boundaries across tool.updated and tool.completed events.
• Behavioral Change: partial or non-unified diffs in payloads are now synthesized into proper unified patch format before rendering; patch extraction is bounded by depth and total size guards to prevent excessive traversal.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs human review

This PR introduces a new feature with substantial new UI components and data processing logic for expandable activity boxes. The scope of new functionality (1500+ lines of new code, multiple new components, new state management) warrants human review.

Closing as part of an open-PR triage — this area is being reworked in the in-flight #3022 (part of the #2451 UI split) and the two would collide. Happy to revisit after that lands if there's still a gap. Thanks!

Summary

Adds inline expandable work-log details for file-change and command activities in the conversation timeline.

What Changed

• Render command activity rows as clickable expandable rows.

  • Goal: keep the collapsed Ran command - <command> preview compact while making command details available inline.
  • Expanded rows show command, differing raw command, exit code, duration, and any stdout/stderr/output streams.

• Add command output rendering helpers.

  • Goal: hide empty output blocks and keep long command output readable.
  • Output streams trim only outer empty lines, preserve intentional blank lines inside output, show the last 40 lines by default, and toggle to the full stream when clicked.

• Render file-change activity rows as clickable expandable rows.

  • Goal: keep the collapsed Changed files - <path> preview compact while avoiding a jump to the full turn diff panel.
  • Expanded rows render available patches through the existing FileDiff viewer.
  • If no patch is available, expanded rows list changed paths inline.

• Extract richer command and patch metadata from tool activity payloads.

  • Goal: support Codex/provider payload shapes that include stdout, stderr, exit code, duration, shell-wrapped raw commands, hunk-only diffs, content-only add diffs, nested patch data, and gitignored file patches when the provider emits patch data.

• Add coverage for timeline rendering and session activity derivation.

  • Goal: lock in expandable command/file-change behavior, output trimming/toggling rules, command metadata extraction, and inline patch normalization.
