Desktop app: option to expand tool-call groups ("Ran N commands") by default

Problem Statement

In the Claude Desktop app, batched tool calls collapse into one summary row — "Ran 7 commands", "Edited 3 files" — with a chevron. To see which commands ran or what was edited I have to click every group open, every time, in every session.

In the terminal CLI the same work streams past as a readable list of actions and edits, so I can follow along while Claude works and spot a wrong turn early. In the desktop app I only see it after the fact, one click at a time.

Setting verbose: true and viewMode: "verbose" in ~/.claude/settings.json does not help — those affect the CLI/TUI renderer only, and the desktop transcript renders the same collapsed groups after a restart.

Proposed Solution

A persistent preference in the desktop app that keeps tool-call groups expanded by default — either a settings.json key honored by the desktop renderer (e.g. reusing verbose / viewMode: "verbose"), or a toggle in the app's settings UI. State should persist across sessions, not just for the current transcript.

Alternative Solutions

• Clicking each group open manually — works, but that is the problem.
• verbose / viewMode in settings.json — no effect on the desktop renderer.
• Running the CLI in a terminal instead of the app — gives the output, but loses the app.

Priority

Low - Nice to have

Configuration and settings

Use Case Example

1. I ask Claude to fix a bug across a few files.
2. Claude runs a dozen tool calls: greps, file reads, two edits, a test run.
3. The desktop transcript shows "Ran 9 commands" and "Edited 2 files" — two collapsed rows.
4. To know what it actually touched, I click each group open, then click into individual calls.
5. With the groups expanded by default I would read that as it happens, like in the CLI, and stop a wrong edit while it is still cheap to stop.
