📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a new chat state snapshot feature and comprehensively refactors tool call rendering components throughout the desktop app. The snapshot feature exposes live chat state via a callback, while the tool refactoring replaces Tool-based UI structures with new GenericToolCall and MastraToolCallBlock components, adds tool name normalization utilities, and updates styling in bash-tool UI elements.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Chat State Snapshot Feature apps/desktop/src/.../ChatMastraInterface/types.ts, apps/desktop/src/.../ChatMastraInterface/ChatMastraInterface.tsx, apps/desktop/src/.../ChatMastraPane.tsx	Added ChatMastraRawSnapshot type and onRawSnapshotChange callback to expose session state (sessionId, isRunning, currentMessage, messages, error) via useEffect. Implemented dev-only UI with copy-to-clipboard functionality for dumping raw chat snapshots in ChatMastraPane.
Tool Call Rendering Refactoring apps/desktop/src/.../ChatMastraMessageList.tsx, apps/desktop/src/.../MastraToolCallBlock.tsx, apps/desktop/src/.../GenericToolCall.tsx, apps/desktop/src/.../ReadOnlyToolCall.tsx	Replaced Tool-based rendering with new MastraToolCallBlock and GenericToolCall components. Introduced helper functions (toToolPartFromCall, toToolPartFromResult) to construct ToolParts. GenericToolCall now uses collapsible UI with optional icon prop and dynamic status indicators (loader, error, success icons).
Tool Utilities and Message Rendering apps/desktop/src/.../tool-helpers.ts, apps/desktop/src/.../MessagePartsRenderer.tsx	Added normalizeToolName utility with alias mapping for tool name standardization. Enhanced MessagePartsRenderer to use normalized names in grouping and subtitle extraction; expanded argument field coverage (file_path, directory_path, root, cwd, regex, etc.) for various workspace tools.
UI Styling Updates packages/ui/src/components/ai-elements/bash-tool.tsx	Updated collapsible styling (rounded-md, adjusted hover background), consolidated status rendering (single compact area with Loader/XIcon/CheckIcon), and added margin adjustments to content wrapper.

• Chat tools UI #1301 — Both PRs refactor tool UI components (BashTool, ToolCall/ToolCallBlock) and add shared tool normalization utilities at the code level.
• Chat UI rehaul + animation #1693 — Both PRs modify the same chat tool UI components (bash-tool.tsx, MessagePartsRenderer, tool-call UI) with overlapping collapsible and shimmer refactors.

Poem

🐰 The snapshot hops along its merry way,
While tools now wear collapsible displays,
A wrenchy icon grins at every call,
With normalized names and statuses for all,
The chat doth evolve in its UI ballet! 🎭✨
