[FEATURE] Allow me to tail the detailed Claude Code output in a different terminal

Problem Statement
Switching between normal view where it shows compressed output and doesn't elaborate on Claude's thinking misses a lot of information, but switching to ctrl+o view only shows 1 status as a time and moves very quickly, causing you to miss information. Moving between Ctrl+E and Ctrl+O is also incredibly slow and sometimes causes freezes due to having such a long buffer.
Proposed Solution
It would be great if we had a way to run both modes, but in different terminals. In the normal view we can see Claude's normal compressed output. For most of the time, this is all we really want. But sometimes when we're watching Claude closely, we also want to be able to refer to the detailed output in real time. Allowing us to run that to the side in a different terminal so we can see both at a glance, but work in the compressed view for a cleaner and faster interaction, would be best of both worlds.
Alternative Solutions
Switching back and forth is what I currently do, but I have long claude code sessions and I hate pressing ctrl+E because it tends to take like 30 seconds to load and has frozen my terminal multiple times and I've had to restart. Would be much nicer to see them both without having to switch as well, so I can just run them side by side without any button presses.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
