Rich Console Output Gap Analysis

Claude Console (Blink)

  • Syntax-highlighted diffs - red/green with line numbers
  • Collapsible sections - "Found 14 files (ctrl+o)"
  • Nested task lists - visual hierarchy with checkmarks
  • Full command output - preserves formatting
  • Raw Claude events - gets full tool data

Our Dashboard Console

  • Single-line summaries - "💻 git log --oneline"
  • Flat results - "→ 32764c7 Fix..."
  • No diff highlighting - just text counts
  • Truncated to 100 chars - loses context
  • Processed summaries - stripped of detail

Root Cause

// stream.ts:371-386 - We throw away the data!
const resultContent = content.content as string;
const summary = resultContent.length > 100
  ? resultContent.slice(0, 100) + "..."  // ← TRUNCATED!
  : resultContent;

sendEvent(controller, encoder, {
  type: "tool_result",
  output: { summary }  // ← Only summary, no full content!
});

Proposed Solution

1. Stream full data Send fullContent alongside summary for Bash, Edit, Grep results
2. Diff rendering Send old_string/new_string for Edit, render as syntax-highlighted diff
3. Collapsible sections Wrap long outputs in expandable containers with file/match counts
4. Output types Tag results with type (diff, files, shell, code) for appropriate rendering

Implementation Plan

  1. Enhance stream.ts to send richer event payloads
  2. Update dashboard-console.ts with new renderers
  3. Add CSS for diff highlighting (insertions/deletions)
  4. Implement collapsible containers with toggle state
