Problem

Tool calls in the chat read as a wall of shell. Every command row carries the agent's full cd /Users/me/Documents/repos/app/apps/mobile; … prefix, the agent's progress notes get the same hammer icon and weight as the commands they describe, and a row tells you nothing about whether it worked, how long it took, or what it changed unless you expand it, at which point you get a single summarised line. It looks the same for every provider only because everyone gets the same minimal treatment.

What this does

Server: one shape for every provider. A new ToolCallFacts block (cwd, exit code, duration, bounded output excerpt, changed files with +/- stats and a bounded unified hunk, and the agent's stated intent) is derived at ingestion from each runtime's native item data and attached next to data on tool.updated / tool.completed activities. The existing payload projection keeps it as-is. Per provider:

  • Codex: cwd, exitCode, durationMs, aggregatedOutput, changes[].diff all come straight off the item.
  • Claude: Bash description becomes the intent, tool_result text becomes the output, Edit/Write inputs give line stats. No exit code or cwd is available from the SDK.
  • Cursor and Grok (ACP): text content becomes the output, diff parts give line stats. No exit code from the agents since T3 does not expose a terminal to them.
  • OpenCode: state.time gives the duration, state.output/error the output, metadata.exit the exit code when present.
  • Every provider: duration falls back to tool.started → completion wall-clock on the client when the runtime reports none, and an exit code in the <exited with exit code N> detail suffix is picked up.

Output is capped at 40 lines / 4 KB and hunks at 8 KB at derivation time, so the facts stay cheap on the wire.

Web: the rows.

  • Group header: existing summary, plus "1 failed" and total duration on the right, and a chevron.
  • Progress notes inside an expanded group render as quiet section labels with a dot, so you read intent first and commands second.
  • Commands: the leading cd <dir> && / cd <dir>; is pulled into a small cwd chip (Codex's authoritative cwd wins when present), and the command gets program / flag / string colouring in three muted tones.
  • Right edge: duration, a non-zero exit pill, or +/- line counts for edits, in tabular numerals.
  • A failed call shows the first line of its output under the command without expanding. Ordinary tool failures stay muted per the existing taste; only severe orchestration failures keep the red alert treatment.
  • Expanding a row shows the output excerpt as a real code block, or the file diff via the existing FileDiff renderer, with the old concatenated text body as a fallback for calls with no facts.

Mobile. The shared summary helpers already flow through; facts is carried on mobile's WorkLogEntry so its rows can pick this up in a follow-up. No mobile UI change here.

Testing

  • toolCallFacts.test.ts: derivation for all five providers, output bounding, diff stats.
  • presentation.test.ts: cd prefix splitting (quoted and escaped paths), group failure/duration stats, diff stat summing.
  • session-logic.command-output.test.ts: facts carried onto entries, exit code from detail suffix, wall-clock duration fallback.
  • MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts: collapsed row carries failureCount / durationMs.
  • Existing MessagesTimeline.test.tsx cases still pass, including the muted-failure ones.
  • Targeted typecheck: server, web, client-runtime, contracts, mobile.

Design reference for the row layout: the mockup I built before implementing is at https://claude.ai/code/artifact/819ce5c7-f828-40de-a10f-6640e1a566ca. Before screenshot is the flat list from today's build; I'll attach an after screenshot from a real thread as a comment.

Follow-up PR (separate concern): a Continue button for interrupted turns that resumes from the tool call that was cut off.


Note

Medium Risk
Touches orchestration ingestion and activity broadcast shape for all providers; output/diff bounding limits wire cost, but incorrect derivation would mislead users about command success and file changes.

Overview
Introduces ToolCallFacts on orchestration activities so tool tool.updated / tool.completed payloads carry a single, bounded shape (cwd, exit code, duration, output excerpt, file stats/diffs, intent) regardless of Codex, Claude, ACP, or OpenCode native data. The server derives these in toolCallFacts.ts at ingestion and attaches them beside raw data; clients read payload.facts instead of parsing provider-specific blobs.

Web chat gets richer tool UX: collapsed groups show failure count and total duration; expanded rows use ToolCallRow for cwd chips, tokenized commands, status icons, meta (duration/exit/diff), inline first-line errors, and expanded output or FileDiff views, with a legacy text fallback when facts are missing. Work-log derivation copies facts, merges exit codes from detail suffixes, and fills duration from tool.started → completion when the runtime omits timing. Mobile threads carry facts on work-log entries for a follow-up UI pass; user docs for tool activity are updated.

Note

Add provider-neutral ToolCallFacts for scannable tool-call rows across providers

  • Defines a common ToolCallFacts schema in orchestration.ts covering cwd, exit code, duration, intent, bounded output, and per-file diffs
  • Server derives facts from native runtime data for Codex, Claude, Cursor/Grok (ACP), and OpenCode via provider adapters in toolCallFacts.ts, with output capped at 40 lines / 4,000 chars and diffs capped at 20 files / 24,000 chars
  • ProviderRuntimeIngestion.ts attaches the derived facts to tool.updated and tool.completed activity payloads
  • Web (MessagesTimeline.tsx, ToolCallRow.tsx) and mobile render facts as cwd chips, command tokens, status icons, timing/exit metadata, collapsed failure previews, and expandable output/diffs; tool-group rows aggregate failure counts and total duration
  • Presentation layer in presentation.ts parses leading cd prefixes and computes group-level failure/duration/file-change metrics
  • Behavioral Change: MessagesTimeline.logic.ts row reuse now invalidates on failureCount/durationMs changes; session-logic.ts computes a fallback wall-clock duration from tool.started/tool.completed timestamps and merges detail-suffix exit codes when facts omit one

🟠 High Layers/ProviderRuntimeIngestion.ts:221

toolCallFactsField attaches an unbounded facts.files array to every item.updated activity, so bulk edits can put megabytes of per-file diffs and stats into each streaming update. fromCodex maps every changes[] entry and fromAcp appends every data.content diff without a file-count or aggregate-size limit, bypassing the payload projection's slimming and risking event-store, network, and client memory exhaustion. Enforce count and total-size caps before attaching facts (including the 8 KB per-file diff cap) so the wire representation is bounded.

fromAcp appends every diff entry from an unbounded data.content array to facts.files. ACP tool calls that report a large bulk edit consequently broadcast an unbounded list of paths and stats on every update; this bypasses the payload projection's normal slimming and can create oversized activity payloads/client memory pressure.

fromCodex maps every entry in item.changes into facts.files without a count or aggregate-size limit. A bulk file-change item can therefore attach thousands of individually 8 KB-bounded diffs to a single activity; because facts is retained on broadcasts, this can produce multi-megabyte payloads and exhaust client/server memory despite the advertised bounded wire representation.

Fixed in d8e5acf: facts.files is capped at 20 files and 24 KB of hunks per call (boundFiles), applied for every provider before the facts are attached. Stats stay on files whose hunk is dropped.

The group header renders "2 failed" in the same text-muted-foreground as the neutral duration next to it, so the collapsed row gives failure no more weight than elapsed time — while each expanded call marks failure with text-destructive (ToolRowMeta's exit N) and a destructive glyph. Tinting just the failure label keeps the collapsed and expanded views telling the same story.

Suggested change
{failureLabel ? <span>{failureLabel}</span> : null}
{failureLabel ? (
<span className="font-medium text-destructive">{failureLabel}</span>
) : null}

Leaving the header label muted on purpose: MessagesTimeline.test.tsx pins that a collapsed group ending in a failure must not use text-destructive ("keeps the collapsed summary icon neutral when the group ends in a failure"), and the same taste keeps ordinary per-call failures muted. The exit pill inside the expanded row is the one red signal, as before.

Tool calls rendered as a flat list of hammer and terminal rows, each
carrying the agent's full command including the repeated cd prefix, with
no status, timing, or output beyond a one-line summary.

The server now derives provider-neutral ToolCallFacts (cwd, exit code,
duration, a bounded output excerpt, changed files with +/- stats and a
bounded hunk) from each runtime's native item data at ingestion, so
Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok and OpenCode calls all reach clients through
one shape. The web timeline reads those facts: the collapsed group header
gains failure and duration meta plus a chevron, progress notes render as
section labels, commands drop the leading cd into a cwd chip and get
light program/flag/string colouring, the right edge shows duration, exit
code or diff stats, a failed call shows its first output line inline, and
expanding a row shows the output excerpt or the file diff. Duration falls
back to tool.started to completion wall-clock when a provider reports
none. Mobile carries the facts on its entries for a follow-up.
- Bound facts.files to 20 files and 24 KB of hunks per call so streaming
  updates for bulk edits stay small; stats survive when a hunk is dropped.
- Positional fallback for large before/after stats so a same-sized
  rewrite no longer reports zero changes.
- ACP output combines stdout and stderr.
- Thinking notes no longer void a group's total duration.
- Output block uses the real code background token and always says when
  output was cut short, including a single overlong line.
- Warning and severe rows keep their coloured heading instead of command
  tokenisation; failed T3 MCP rows keep the trailing X; the header and row
  meta share one class.
Rebase onto a timeline that has since gained per-tool icons, tinting and
question-answer history. The row keeps upstream's icon view and expansion
rules and adds the parts this change is about: the cwd chip and coloured
command, the right-edge meta, the inline first error line, and the output
or diff on expand.

Antigravity arrived upstream on the same ACP path, so it reads tool call
facts through the existing ACP normalizer. The tool-activity user guide
was removed upstream when the guides moved to features and workflows, so
this no longer carries a docs change.

Rebased onto main. The row now sits on the reworked timeline and keeps its per-tool icons, tinting and question-answer history, adding only the cwd chip, coloured command, right-edge meta, inline first error line, and the output or diff on expand.

Prefer the parsed command directory over facts.cwd.

facts.cwd comes from the provider's native command cwd; splitLeadingCd extracts a separate directory from the command text. When both exist, facts?.cwd ?? split.cwd hides the explicit cd target, and CwdChip displays the wrong directory.

Use split.cwd first:

Reuse two row buffers in the LCS loop.

ProviderRuntimeIngestion derives facts for every item.updated, and the update branch emits one activity per stream chunk. For inputs within DIFF_STAT_MAX_LINES, textPairStat allocates and initializes one row per source line, up to 600 arrays per streamed update. Reuse two row buffers to reduce this allocation and garbage-collection cost. This is separate from deferring or caching fact derivation.

Avoid deriving facts from the full payload on every streaming update. toolCallFactsField calls deriveToolCallFacts for each item.updated event. fromCodex and fromOpenCode scan the accumulated output again, so the total work can grow as O(N²) for one tool call. Cache or derive delta-based facts, or defer output-dependent derivation to item.completed.

projectActivityPayload preserves facts through ...projectedPayload; it does not drop the field.

filesWithDiff includes files that carry no diff, which hides the existing expanded body.

facts.files entries do not always carry a diff. fromClaude and fromAcp in apps/server/src/orchestration/toolCallFacts.ts build file facts from textPairStat with a stat only. boundFiles also strips diff from files that exceed the byte budget while keeping the stats.

Two effects follow for those calls:

  • Line 3372 makes the row expandable even when there is nothing to expand into.
  • Line 3555 suppresses expandedBody whenever filesWithDiff.length > 0, so the raw command, the detail text, and the changed-file list are replaced by a bare path and stat line.

Filter to files that actually carry a diff.

🐛 Proposed fix
-  const filesWithDiff = facts?.files ?? [];
+  const filesWithDiff = useMemo(
+    () => (facts?.files ?? []).filter((file) => file.diff !== undefined),
+    [facts?.files],
+  );

The tokenizer silently drops unmatched quote characters.

The pattern has no alternative that matches a bare " or '. matchAll skips characters that no alternative matches, so those characters never reach a token and never render.

echo don't renders as echo don followed by t. The apostrophe disappears. The same applies to any command with an unterminated quote.

Add a single-character catch-all as the last alternative.

thanks for working on better tool visibility. we are closing this version and asking for smaller proposals: it combines a data-model change with a substantial chat redesign, and several displayed facts can be misleading.

  • the working-directory chip strips a leading cd /other && from the displayed command but prefers the original provider cwd. a command launched in /repo that changes directory can therefore appear to run in /repo rather than /other.
  • large-file change counts use positional line comparison beyond 600 lines. inserting a line at the beginning can turn a small edit into an apparent rewrite rather than an accurate diff.
  • Claude/OpenCode Write inputs are compared against an empty string. when overwriting an existing file, that shows additions without accounting for removed content. write input is not evidence of the actual diff.
  • provider-specific normalization for Codex, Claude, ACP, and OpenCode belongs in the adapters, which should emit shared facts, rather than adding another native-payload parser in orchestration.
  • mobile receives the additional data without a corresponding presentation. provider coverage does not establish cross-client delivery.

cwd extraction, command highlighting, progress-note styling, duration aggregation, failure previews, output rendering, and embedded file diffs are separable changes with different correctness and design requirements. please propose them separately, starting with accurate shared facts and explicit cross-client behavior.

the payload caps are sensible, but they do not establish the cost of repeatedly deriving and broadcasting additional output and diffs. this is not a claim of a measured performance regression.

smaller prs are welcome. if you disagree with this assessment, please link back to this pr and explain how the proposal addresses these concerns.
