… place The output cleaner now models a small terminal: the last 64 lines form a window that cursor movement, line and screen erases can rewrite, so multi-line progress (docker pull, pnpm, test reporters) keeps only its latest frame. Colours and text attributes survive as canonical SGR codes that reset at every line end, so a cut never starts mid-colour. Web and mobile render them with one light and one dark 16-colour palette, falling back to plain text past 2,000 styled spans. Replace frames carry the cursor and style, so a viewer that resyncs applies later appends exactly as the server does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a default-enabled, cross-cutting live command-output feature spanning provider adapters, an authenticated websocket RPC, shared terminal parsing, and web/mobile clients. Its substantial runtime surface, auth-file change, lint-suppression directives, and unresolved risks around output buffering and terminal redraw handling require human review. Not approved because:

(agent reply) Not changing this one. Truncating is deliberate: the model has no fixed screen height, so blank rows kept after ESC[J would show up as trailing empty lines in the row. Programs that erase below (log-update, ora, listr, pnpm) then print each line they need with newlines, which recreates rows as they go, so they render correctly. The only case it affects is a program that moves down into rows it just erased with CSI B and writes there without printing a newline. I haven't found one that does that.

- Persisted output that is too long is cut at a line start, so a colour code is never split into literal text. - ESC[3J clears only scrollback; the visible window stays. - The live window shares the tail budget, so long lines can't hold 64 times the tail per command. - Colon-form true colour (38:2::r:g:b) skips its colour-space slot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lines below the cursor can't scroll out of the live window, so they keep only their ends once the window passes the tail budget. A command's screen now stays within twice the tail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Lines written during a chunk are extended in place, and very long colour-per-character lines fold their oldest runs into plain text, so alternating styles no longer cost a full copy per character. - Lines are trimmed to the tail on every write, so the result no longer depends on where chunk boundaries fall. - Scrollback is trimmed as lines settle, so one huge chunk can't build a near-full copy of the log before the tail is taken. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Integrates with pingdotgg#15505: command rows use the live output panel (and skip the raw final-output fetch) when the server streams command output; all other tools and older servers keep pingdotgg#15505's fetched output. Uses pingdotgg#15505's ProjectionStore.getTurnItem instead of a duplicate, and keeps its Claude Bash output function with this branch's newline-aware stdout/stderr join.

(agent reply) Thanks for flagging this. I checked it, and I don't think the queue can grow this way, so I've left the code as it is.
The events queue only builds up if the pump that drains it stalls. For a command_output.delta, the pump does two things:
observeActivity, which is aRefupdate;commandOutput.append, an in-memory append to the hub that never waits on I/O.
It returns before the slower paths (the provider_session.updated write and run subscribers). Those can't block it either: publishToSubscribers offers into Queue.unbounded subscriber queues (ProviderSessionManager.ts, subscribe), so a slow run executor never pushes back on the pump.
That leaves the producer and the pump as two fibers in one process. Reading a delta (reading Codex's stdout and decoding each JSON-RPC notification) costs at least as much as appending it to the hub, which has a 64K-character cap. So the queue drains about as fast as it fills, and live output never piles up behind persisted events.
I also decided against putting a bounded queue here. This queue also carries the events that unblock the turn, such as approvals and turn.terminal. Making it apply backpressure would stall the JSON-RPC reader that delivers them. That trade isn't worth it to bound a queue that can't grow.

Problem
A command row shows the command, but not what it prints while it runs. Since V2 (#2829), it doesn't show the output after the command finishes either. Open issues: #6388 (Bash output never renders), #13950 (rows jump while a command runs).
Live output was never fully shipped, and each way it reached the timeline was later removed for performance:
subscribeCommandOutputRPC with a 24 KB buffer. It was closed unmerged.content.deltaan early return, which dropped CodexoutputDelta(idle CPU, serial ingestion, retained provider events).WireProjectiondropcommand_execution.outputof every size, including the final output (a 600-row snapshot went from 10.4 MB to 67 KB). This is the regression onmain.getTurnItem, as raw text. A running command still shows nothing new while it runs, and colour codes and progress redraws show up as raw characters.Fix
Output never becomes an orchestration event, and it never rides the thread stream.
orchestration.subscribeCommandOutputfor that row only. It sends the current tail, then appends at most every 100 ms. A viewer that falls more than 16 KB behind gets the whole tail instead, at most every 500 ms. The stream ends with the persisted final output.@t3tools/shared/terminalOutputruns on both the server and clients. It models a small terminal. The last 64 lines form a window that\r, cursor movement, line erases and screen erases can rewrite, so single-line and multi-line progress (npm, curl, docker pull, pnpm, test reporters) keep only their latest frame. Older lines are fixed text. Colours and text attributes survive as canonical SGR codes that reset at each line end, so a cut never starts mid-colour. Other escapes and control bytes are dropped. Escapes split across chunks are held until complete.replaceframe) carries the cursor position and current style, so a viewer that falls behind or reconnects applies later appends exactly as the server does.commandOutputStreaming. Older servers never get the RPC.ThreadTransportPerformance.test.tsstill pins the same sizes.Concerns and how they're handled

The recorded session has no delta for it, so that part appears when the command finishes.<tmp>/claude-<uid>/<project>/<session>/tasks/<task_id>.output, naming the task intask_started(local_bash). The adapter tails that file every 250 ms. It's undocumented, so every step fails quietly to "final output only".Per client

Edge cases
A
\rprogress bar with colours redraws in place:edge-progress.mp4
Multi-line progress (three bars redrawn in place with cursor-up, like docker pull):
edge-layers.mp4
Colours, dark then light:
edge-colors.mp4
edge-colors-light.mp4
Interleaved stdout/stderr, invalid UTF-8, and exit code 3:
edge-mixed.mp4
17 MB of output stays bounded, with "Earlier output not shown":
edge-huge.mp4
Scrolling up holds the position; scrolling down resumes following:
edge-scroll.mp4
Page reloaded mid-command, then a second viewer on the same running row:
edge-reload.mp4
Light theme:
edge-light.mp4
Claude turn interrupted mid-command; the row keeps the output printed so far:
edge-interrupt.mp4
Two Claude Bash calls in one turn:
edge-parallel.mp4
Tests
command_output_streaming, recorded from real Codex and Claude sessions with the existingrecord-*-replay-fixture.tsscripts. It asserts that live output reaches the hub cleaned of escapes and progress redraws, that it agrees with the persisted final output, that the row shows stdout rather than a serialized tool result, and that no running command item ever persists output.CommandOutputHub.test.ts: identical text for every viewer, a flood sent as bounded tails at the slower rate, finished commands send only bounded final output, snapshot-only providers still stream, and interrupted commands keep their output.terminalOutput.test.ts: multi-line redraws, screen erases, terminal-style overwrites, colour codes surviving line ends and tail cuts, palette resolution, readable badges, the span cap, and a viewer that resyncs mid-redraw matching the source exactly.ClaudeTaskOutputTail.test.tsand the client-sidecommandOutput.test.ts.Cleaner throughput (8 KB chunks): 17.8 MB of plain build log at 162 MB/s (was 36 MB/s), 4.4 MB of colour-heavy test output at 25 MB/s (was 42 MB/s with colours stripped).
