[DOCS] `/focus` docs still describe the activity summary as a static "one-line tool-call summary"; v2.1.198 adds subagents and folding background notifications

/focusrow in the "All commands" table on the commands reference
Current Documentation
The /focus row currently reads:
|/focus| Toggle the focus view, which shows only your last prompt, a one-line tool-call summary with edit diffstats, and the final response. The selection persists across sessions; setviewModein settings to override it. Only available in fullscreen rendering |
What's Wrong or Missing?
The release notes for v2.1.198 extend what the focus view shows:
Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
The current description misses both pieces:
- It does not mention that subagents launched during the turn appear in the activity summary.
- It does not mention that completed background notifications fold into a single count rather than rendering one row per notification.
The "one-line tool-call summary with edit diffstats" wording also no longer matches the implementation: the activity summary now includes subagent entries and a folded background-notification count.
Suggested Improvement
Before:
|/focus| Toggle the focus view, which shows only your last prompt, a one-line tool-call summary with edit diffstats, and the final response. The selection persists across sessions; setviewModein settings to override it. Only available in fullscreen rendering |
After:
|/focus| Toggle the focus view, which shows only your last prompt, an activity summary (tool-call diffstats plus any subagents launched in the turn and a single folded count for completed background notifications), and the final response. The selection persists across sessions; setviewModein settings to override it. Only available in fullscreen rendering |
Impact
Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
Additional Context
Related v2.1.198 change:

The fullscreen rendering reference describes related display behavior, but the only page that documents the activity-summary contents is the /focus row on the commands reference.
