Setting to show permission prompt explanations by default (without pressing Ctrl+E)
Feature Request
When Claude requests permission to run a command, the explanation of why the command is being run is hidden by default and requires pressing Ctrl+E to reveal. There's no setting to make explanations visible without a keystroke.
Desired Behavior
A settings.json option (e.g. "expandPermissionExplanations": true) that makes the explanation text visible by default in the permission prompt, without requiring any extra keypress.
Current Behavior
Explanations in permission prompts are collapsed by default. The only way to see them is pressing Ctrl+E, which is not configurable.
Why This Matters
The explanation is the most useful part of the prompt for making an informed allow/deny decision. Requiring a keystroke to see it adds friction to an already-interruptive flow. An opt-in setting to show it by default would reduce that friction for users who want context without extra keystrokes.
