[FEATURE] Desktop Code tab: setting to show the per-turn "Edited N files" card as detailed, compact or hidden

Problem Statement
In the Claude Code desktop app (Code tab), every turn in which Claude edits files ends with an "Edited N files" card (+X −Y totals and one row per file). There is no setting to hide or collapse it.
In my workflow most of these edits are routine bookkeeping that my own CLAUDE.md rules require at the end of each task (session-state notes, project log files). When I care about the changes I open the Diff pane, so the card repeats the same information after nearly every reply and pushes the actual answer out of view.
Proposed Solution
One setting, "Edited files summary", in Settings → Claude Code (and per session in the title-bar menu, next to "Transcript view"):
- Detailed (current): card with totals and one row per file.
- Compact: a single line, e.g. "Edited 2 files · +14 −3 ›", expandable on click.
- Hidden: no card; changes remain available in the Diff pane.
Alternative Solutions
None found: no option in the app settings or in the transcript view menu hides the card, and not editing files isn't an option because the edits are part of my workflow.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example
- I ask Claude to finish a task in a project folder.
- Per my CLAUDE.md, it also updates two bookkeeping files at the end.
- The reply ends with "Edited 2 files +14 −3" plus one row per file.
- With "Compact" or "Hidden", the reply would end with the answer itself; I'd open the Diff pane only when I want to inspect the changes.
Additional Context
- Claude desktop app 2.19675.0, macOS 26.6.2, Code tab, local session.
- Related but different: #97597 (focus view hiding tool calls), #95535 (per-repo changes summary above the composer), #80720 and #96320 (diff output in the terminal CLI).
