feat(code): expand truncated task descriptions on click or Ctrl+O - #4811
Merged
Conversation
A `task` tool row renders its description on a dedicated dim line truncated at 120 characters, but the full text was previously unreachable. Make the truncated preview expandable: clicking the description region or pressing Ctrl+O now toggles between the truncated and full description, mirroring the collapsible command/code affordance on `execute`/`js_eval` rows.

…langchain-ai#4811) A long `task` tool description is rendered on a dim line truncated at 120 characters, but the full text was previously unreachable. This makes the truncated preview expandable: clicking the description region or pressing Ctrl+O toggles between the truncated and full description, mirroring the collapsible command/code affordance on `execute`/`js_eval` rows. --- The `task` description now owns Ctrl+O when it is truncated (like an expandable command/code block), while any expandable tool output stays reachable by clicking its own region. A "click or Ctrl+O to expand/collapse" hint is shown beside a truncated description. <details> <summary>Test plan</summary> - Added `TestToolCallMessageTaskDescription` covering expandability detection, the toggle swap, and click routing. - Added an app-level Ctrl+O routing test that prefers a truncated `task` description over expandable output. - Updated existing Ctrl+O routing tests to account for the new higher-priority branch. </details> Made by [Open SWE](https://openswe.vercel.app/agents/f5d64d3e-e6e2-d1cf-f52c-0ecbd8829ef4) --------- Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>
