[FEATURE] Option to include thinking blocks in /export transcript

Full Transcripts are Needed

I would love this. I don't always want session exports/transcripts, but when I'm experimenting with claude prompting workflows, it's important to track things... everything... for tracking controlled experiment conditions. It can be a mess to do that by pulling up the tool again and risk me looking at the wrong session.

Frustrated with the ctrl-o content that stays hidden & doesn't export.

Wish that /status could be dumped into the export/transcript.

Seems like an obvious one that belongs with transcripts, to track basic date/time, license, model, session ID.

Can't access/refer to session id, session filename, the active model, etc to dump into the transcript.

I can query CC for the model, or session ID, and it calls the internal, inaccessable functions to generate that, but dumping it to the screen is the best it can give me. Had to write my own sessionID extractor. Sigh...

Codex has a nice transcript output with ctrl-t

• transcripts adds COLOR CODED LABELS to identify every dialog/message
• distinguish codex, user, assistant, thinking, bash cmds, approvals, durations, errors, plan (to-do) updates , etc

Okay... do you always run things in a clean env?

...... I can work inside that or create a new one.

No, that's fine-- please continue

@BartOMan There's a dedicated issue for ctrl+o: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/8214.

I think this issue is pretty important. Currently, one can only get the full transcript with the outputs of the commands with some massaging of the ctrl+o, ctrl+e, and copy-pasting.

This issue has been inactive for 30 days. If the issue is still occurring, please comment to let us know. Otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 30 days for housekeeping purposes.

Bump, I saw the "issue has been inactive for 30 days"
Note this is _not_ the ctrl+o issue, this issue is specifically requesting that "thinking blocks" be included with /export output
if someone argues with me that this is the control+o issue maybe it will actually raise the awareness of this enough to get it fixed :-)
