Problem Statement

Consecutive tool calls collapse into a single ran 2 commands header. That header hides which ones, so reviewing a session means clicking open every group to check whether something ran that I cared about.

Proposed Solution

A setting that controls the group header's default state separately from the individual calls' state:

  • group expanded → I see the list of calls, one line each
  • each call's script and output still collapsed → click to open the ones I care about

Today those two levels are welded together.

Why verbose doesn't cover it

verbose is documented as "Show full tool output instead of truncated summaries" — it acts on output inside a call, not on the group header. It also pushes the wrong way: it lengthens exactly the part I want to stay collapsed. So verbose: true and verbose: false are both wrong for this, in opposite directions.
