Follow-up to #12270. A collapsed thought row only said "Thought", so reading the trace meant expanding the row. The row now reads "Thought" followed by the first line of the latest trace, one shade dimmer than the label, truncated to the row. The "(×n)" thought count is gone from the label on web and mobile; the expanded group still lists every trace.
ActivityGroupTimelineRowpasses the preview as a newdetailslot onLiveActivityRow. The slot renders only in the base copy, so the shimmer overlay still animates the bare "Thinking" label with its usual contrast. Rows whose group has tool calls keep the tool summary.reasoningPreviewscans a 400-character prefix, strips leading markdown marks, and returns the first non-empty line, so a streaming trace does constant work per tick.MessagesTimeline.logic.test.ts(120 tests),threadActivity.test.ts(108 tests), web and mobile typecheck, lint, and knip pass on Blacksmith. All captures below come from this branch running against a copy of real thread data, plus one real Claude Fable 5.1 turn.Collapsed rows

Clicking a row opens every trace in that group; clicking again folds it. mp4
Live turn
A real turn on Claude Fable 5.1 at high reasoning: the prompt asks for a step-by-step answer, a failing
ls, thenecho ok. The live row shimmers "Thinking", shows the trace's first line beside it once the text lands, hands off to the tool rows, and settles behind "Worked for". mp4Unverified: the mobile label change has no screenshot. In the live turn the thought's text arrived a moment before the first tool call, so the "Thinking" row with a preview beside it is on screen only briefly in the recording.
