Need setting to disable auto-collapsing of tool results / restore scroll-to-top

Problem

Cannot scroll back to the top of a conversation to see what workstream I'm in. Tool results and agent outputs are auto-collapsed with "... +N lines (ctrl+o to expand)", and the overall conversation view is vertically truncated so earlier turns are no longer visible.

This is a significant UX regression for power users who use long sessions and need to orient themselves by reviewing earlier context.

Expected behavior

  • Ability to scroll to the top of the conversation at any time
  • Optionally: a setting like expandToolResults: true to disable auto-collapsing of tool output

Current workarounds

  • /rename helps label the session but doesn't restore access to earlier turns
  • Ctrl+O transcript mode (when it works)
  • /export dumps full text but breaks flow

Environment

  • Claude Code v2.1.74
  • macOS, iTerm2
  • Long sessions with many tool calls
