Progress notes/tool output during long-running work are pushed off-screen; can't read them until the task finishes

Description

While Claude Code is working on a long-running task (multiple tool calls, subagents, background work), the notes/actions it's leaving (tool call summaries, intermediate text updates) get pushed down as new output streams in. There's no good way to scroll back and read them mid-flight without losing the "stick to bottom" auto-scroll behavior, so in practice I have to wait until the whole task finishes before I can review what happened during it.

Expected behavior

Be able to read the progress notes/actions Claude leaves while it's still working, without disrupting the live stream or having to wait for completion — e.g. scrolling up keeps position (doesn't snap back to bottom on next chunk), or a dedicated panel/log for in-progress activity that doesn't get buried by new output.

Actual behavior

The conversation view keeps auto-scrolling to the bottom as new content streams in. Reading earlier notes mid-task means fighting the auto-scroll, so the practical workaround is to wait until the task completes — which costs time, especially on tasks with many intermediate steps (subagents, multi-step tool use).

Impact

Time lost waiting for full completion just to review progress that was already available earlier in the stream, on any task with substantial intermediate output (parallel subagents, long tool-call chains, background workflows).
