[BUG] Fullscreen TUI: failed Bash tool output is empty when expanded

What's Wrong?
In fullscreen TUI mode (/tui fullscreen), when a Bash tool call fails (non-zero exit code), expanding the tool call shows the command but no output — the stdout and exit code indicator are missing. Successful Bash calls display their output correctly when expanded.
The classic/default TUI renderer does NOT have this issue — it correctly shows Error: Exit code 1 along with the command output.
What Should Happen?
Expanding a failed Bash tool call should show the output and exit code, same as in classic mode:
⏺ Bash(echo "This command fails" && exit 1)
⎿ Error: Exit code 1
This command fails
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable fullscreen TUI mode (
/tui fullscreen) - Have Claude run a bash command that fails, e.g.
echo "This command fails" && exit 1 - Click to expand the tool call
Actual rendering in fullscreen (expanded):
⏺ Bash(echo "This command fails" && exit 1)
(no output shown)
Rendering in classic/default TUI (expanded) — correct:
⏺ Bash(echo "This command fails" && exit 1)
⎿ Error: Exit code 1
This command fails
Error Messages/Logs
No error messages — the output is silently not rendered.

Additional Information

- Fullscreen TUI mode only — classic renderer works correctly
- Successful Bash tool calls display output correctly in both modes; only failed calls (non-zero exit) have missing output in fullscreen
