Read tool output should show file paths in default (non-verbose) view
In a recent update, the Read tool's main screen output was changed to show only a collapsed summary like "Read (3 files)" with no file paths visible. Previously, the default view showed the file path and line count (e.g., "Read src/config.py (200 lines)"), which was the right level of detail for the main view.
The current behavior forces you to expand to verbose output (Ctrl+O) just to see which files were read — that's basic context, not verbose detail. Knowing what files the model is reading is essential for following along with what it's doing without having to toggle into verbose mode constantly.
Request: Restore file paths and line counts in the default (non-verbose) Read tool output. Reserve verbose mode for additional detail like file contents or line-by-line output.
