When Claude Code runs a WebSearch, the UI shows only the query. The search result summary that Claude actually reads and reasons over is never displayed — not inline, not in the Ctrl+O transcript.
The whole step is a black box: you can't see what was found or verify what the answer is based on.
Expected: show the WebSearch result summary (at least in the Ctrl+O transcript), alongside the query.
