[FEATURE] Preserve approval-request context in-session; inspection view gets interrupted by new activity
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Problem: During active sessions with frequent tool-approval prompts, I approve a request and then try to dig deeper into it (to understand what was actually done) while Claude continues working in the background. The view/context I'm inspecting gets replaced before I can finish — by the next approval prompt or activity update — so I lose my place. Current workaround is digging through a log file after the fact, which breaks the "in the moment" understanding I'm trying to build.
Request: Some way to preserve and revisit the trail of approved requests within the current session — not necessarily a new UI, but at minimum a way to inspect an already-approved request's detail without it being displaced by newer activity, and to page back through prior approvals without leaving the session or opening a separate log.
Proposed Solution
Specific Suggestion - When I click approve, append a one line "Approved: xxx" box into the session that can be clicked to continue reviewing the approved request in detail.

Use Case Example
Every time Claude makes a complicated action request. I tend to review them quickly, but often then continue trying to read them. Especially if they are using a system I am not familiar with.
Additional Context
A session can easily be using many languages and systems I am not familiar with. I know enough to decide what I'm seeing isn't destructive quickly. But, after I approve, I have several minutes on my hand and an example of tech I would like to learn right in front of me. Please don't take it away.
