Problem

Collapsed tool cards hid useful output behind ctrl+o and truncated long headers without preserving the result chip.

What changed

  • Collapsed cards show a width-aware header and a short outcome row (up to three lines, then one telling line).
  • Grep/Glob chips count files or matches from the tool output, skip notices, and keep the existing Glob pagination N+ files marker.
  • The footer shows ctrl+o expand or ctrl+o collapse when a recent card hides output.

No docs update (existing ctrl+o tip still applies). Changeset included.

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have linked a related issue (external PRs: the issue must have a maintainer's /approve).
  • I have added tests that prove my feature works.
  • Ran gen-changesets skill, or this PR needs no changeset.
  • Ran gen-docs skill, or this PR needs no doc update.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Collapsed tool cards now show concise outcome rows and width-aware headers.
    • Added clearer expand/collapse guidance for hidden tool output.
    • Improved summaries for shell commands, file changes, searches, reads, and fetches.
    • Headers preserve important details, such as filenames and result counts, when space is limited.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of truncated, spilled, partial, and paginated tool output.
    • Search and glob summaries now report counts and incomplete results more accurately.

Collapsed cards keep a width-aware header and a short outcome row.
Grep and Glob chips ignore notices and keep the local Glob pagination
counts. The footer advertises ctrl+o when a recent card hides output.

Collapsed tool card rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rendering primitives and width-aware headers
apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/components/messages/truncated-header-line.ts, apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/components/messages/tool-renderers/outcome.ts, apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/constant/rendering.ts, tests
Added width-aware header truncation, grapheme-safe rendering, spill-pointer handling, outcome-row helpers, and truncation-state tracking.
Tool output parsing and summary renderers
apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/components/messages/tool-renderers/grep-output.ts, chip.ts, summary.ts, registry.ts, tests
Added structured Grep and Glob parsing. Updated chips and collapsed summaries to show file counts, partial results, hidden-line counts, and outcome rows.
Tool card and message integration
apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/components/messages/tool-call.ts, read-group.ts, shell-execution.ts, tests
Tool cards now use structured headers, omit collapsed Bash previews, and render concise output rows. Read groups and shell execution use the shared header and outcome components.
Transcript expansion hints
apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/pythinker-tui.ts, apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/components/chrome/footer.ts, apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/utils/*, .changeset/collapsed-tool-cards.md
Added hidden-content capability checks, shared expansion cutoff calculation, and footer hints for expanding or collapsing tool output. Added a patch changeset.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 32c35

Collapsed Grep cards can show pagination text as a file, and long single-line commands can have undisclosed content with no expansion hint. Resolve these display and discoverability regressions before merging.

- Line 478: Update the tool-call display flow around extractKeyArgument so it
uses the untruncated display value from extractKeyArgumentDetail() before
passing it to TruncatedHeaderLine. Remove the premature MAX_ARG_LENGTH
truncation while preserving width-aware truncation and expanded-card behavior.

In
`@apps/pythinker-code/src/tui/components/messages/tool-renderers/grep-output.ts`:
- Line 49: Update parseGrepOutput so pagination headers such as “Showing matches
…” are parsed separately for the header total and excluded from
entries/resultLines used as file results. Ensure Grep chips and glance samples
skip these notices, and update the header-only test to expect zero files rather
than one.

# Releases
## @pymodel/pythinker-code@2.0.0

### Major Changes

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Remote Control is always
available — `pythinker rc`, `pythinker web --remote-control` and
`/remote-control` no longer need an experimental flag. Session indexing
and global search move to the new `[database]` section: set
`PYTHINKER_CODE_PERSISTENCE_MINIDB_READMODEL` (was
`PYTHINKER_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_PERSISTENCE_MINIDB_READMODEL`) and
`PYTHINKER_CODE_SEARCH_WORKER` (was
`PYTHINKER_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_SEARCH_WORKER`), or `[database] base` and
`[database] search` in `config.toml`.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - The subagent model pool
is always available. Remove
`PYTHINKER_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_SECONDARY_MODEL` from your environment — it
no longer does anything, and `[secondary_model]` takes effect with no
opt-in.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Remove the `${now}`
variable from custom system prompt templates. Delete `${now}` from your
`SYSTEM.md` and agent files — the agent still receives the current date.

### Minor Changes

- [#309](#309)
[`3c21d16`](3c21d16)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Add the
`PYTHINKER_CODE_PERMISSION_MODE_REMINDER` environment variable: set it
to a false value or an empty value to stop injecting the auto
permission-mode reminders into the model context.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - The server can now start
and stop Remote Control while it runs, through `GET` and `POST
/api/v1/remote-control`.

### Patch Changes

- [#308](#308)
[`ec99d66`](ec99d66)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Deliver background
question answers to the agent directly instead of via a saved output
file.

- [#308](#308)
[`ec99d66`](ec99d66)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Fix background questions
being cancelled as soon as the agent finishes its turn.

- [#313](#313)
[`09d69fe`](09d69fe)
Thanks [@elkholy90](https://github.com/elkholy90)! - Collapsed tool
cards now show a short outcome row and a width-aware header.

- [#307](#307)

the session closed from goal time budgets.

filenames in session history.

- [#307](#307)
[`49548fb`](49548fb)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Fix print mode
(`pythinker -p`) ignoring the `PYTHINKER_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` environment
variable.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - The Remote Control
banner's Local UI link now carries the server token, so it opens without
a second sign-in.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Remote Control now gzips
text, JSON, JavaScript, XML and SVG responses over the tunnel.

- [#307](#307)
[`49548fb`](49548fb)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Remove the 24-hour limit
on goal time budgets.

- [#315](#315)
[`a7666f8`](a7666f8)
Thanks [@elkholy90](https://github.com/elkholy90)! - Skip the
confirmation prompt for rm -rf commands that target only /tmp or /temp
paths.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Global search now
rebuilds its index instead of staying broken when the stored data is
corrupt or a write keeps failing.

- [#306](#306)
[`39b50b5`](39b50b5)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - A background task that
finishes after its agent is closed no longer emits stray task events.

- [#307](#307)
[`49548fb`](49548fb)
Thanks [@elkaix](https://github.com/elkaix)! - Add `-y, --yes` to
`pythinker upgrade` (alias `pythinker update`) to skip the confirmation
prompt and install the update directly.
