Fix markdown/JSON rendering issues in tool calls (v2)

[ShlomoStept]

Summary

This PR fixes all markdown/JSON rendering issues in assistant cells containing tool calls:

Fixes Implemented

1. Content Duplication Fixed - Markdown and JSON views now have independent truncatable wrappers, eliminating the duplication where both views showed simultaneously

2. Hidden Content Issue Fixed - With separate truncatable wrappers per view, height calculations work correctly and long content is properly scrollable with "Show more" button

3. JSON Code Block Wrapping - JSON is now properly wrapped in <pre class="json-markdown"> code blocks regardless of mode, with appropriate CSS styling

4. Mode Differentiation - Markdown and JSON modes now display visually distinct content when toggling

5. Collapsible Tool Sections - Tool call/reply pairs are now collapsible using native <details> elements with animated toggle icons

Files Modified

• src/claude_code_transcripts/__init__.py - Added render_json_with_markdown() refactoring, CSS for collapsible sections
• src/claude_code_transcripts/templates/macros.html - Restructured tool_use, subagent_tool, tool_result macros; converted tool_pair to use <details>
• tests/__snapshots__/*.txt - 21 snapshots updated to reflect structural changes

Verification

• ✅ 157 tests passing
• ✅ Code formatted with black
• ✅ 21 snapshots updated

Test plan

• Run uv run pytest - all tests pass
• Run uv run black . --check - code formatted
• Verify markdown/JSON toggle shows only one view at a time
• Verify long content is scrollable
• Verify JSON wrapped in code blocks in both modes
• Verify tool sections are collapsible

• Wrapped JSON-with-markdown output in <pre class="json-markdown"> code blocks
• Converted tool pairs to use collapsible <details> elements
• Added comprehensive subagent detection and visualization functionality

The CSS class names .tool-pair-collapsible, .tool-pair-summary, .tool-pair-toggle-icon, .tool-pair-label, and .tool-pair-content are added inline within the Python code as a large string literal. While this follows the existing pattern in the codebase, it creates maintainability concerns as the CSS grows. Consider adding a comment explaining why this CSS must be inline (e.g., for single-file distribution) or noting that CSS externalization is planned for a future phase.

The HTML structure in the new tool_use macro has inconsistent indentation. Lines 154-155 each have the same view structure but the line breaks make them difficult to read. Consider adding line breaks after opening tags for better readability, similar to how subagent_tool is formatted (lines 161-190). While this is minified HTML and doesn't affect functionality, consistent formatting aids maintainability.

[Copilot]

The test file imports five new subagent-related functions at the module level (lines 36-40), but these imports are redundant since the same functions are re-imported within individual test methods using from claude_code_transcripts import function_name. This duplication is unnecessary and could lead to confusion. Either use the module-level imports throughout the tests or remove them and rely on the per-test imports.

Suggested change

	# Subagent detection functions
	is_subagent_tool,
	extract_subagent_info,
	extract_agent_id_from_result,
	find_related_agent_sessions,
	render_subagent_tool,

The documentation in walkthrough.md includes references to commit hashes (lines 142-145) like "b2f1836", "e9a5aa0" which appear to be from a previous iteration of this work (the "technical debt" branch mentioned in line 1 of the old content). These commit references should either be updated to reflect the actual commits in this PR, or removed entirely if they're not relevant to the markdown/JSON rendering fixes being implemented.

The render_json_with_markdown() function has an unused indent parameter. The function signature accepts indent=0 but immediately passes it to _render_json_with_markdown_inner(), which is the function that actually uses the parameter for indentation. Since users of this function would always start with indent=0, this parameter serves no purpose and should be removed from the public function signature.

Suggested change

	def render_json_with_markdown(obj, indent=0):
	"""Render a JSON object/dict with string values as Markdown, wrapped in a pre tag.
	Returns HTML with the JSON rendered with markdown formatting in string values,
	wrapped in a styled pre tag for proper code block appearance.
	"""
	inner_html = _render_json_with_markdown_inner(obj, indent)
	def render_json_with_markdown(obj):
	"""Render a JSON object/dict with string values as Markdown, wrapped in a pre tag.
	Returns HTML with the JSON rendered with markdown formatting in string values,
	wrapped in a styled pre tag for proper code block appearance.
	"""
	inner_html = _render_json_with_markdown_inner(obj, 0)

The tool_pair macro now has a default parameter value tool_name="Tool", but when tools don't have a name, "Tool" is not a descriptive label for the collapsible section. Consider using the actual tool type (e.g., "Bash", "Edit", "Write") which is already available in the calling context. The current implementation correctly passes tool_name from line 1385, but the default value could mislead developers if they forget to pass this parameter.

Suggested change

	{% macro tool_pair(tool_use_html, tool_result_html, tool_name="Tool", is_collapsed=false) %}
	{% macro tool_pair(tool_use_html, tool_result_html, tool_name, is_collapsed=false) %}
