[FEATURE]: Clean Output Mode: Collapse AI Work by Default #37003
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
I would like to see a cleaner way to view AI responses. When a model finishes its task, all intermediate content, including tool calls, reasoning steps, status updates, and other work related details, should be automatically collapsed into a single line, such as "Worked for 15 minutes."
By default, users would see only the AI's final response. If they need to review how the result was produced, they could expand the collapsed section.
This would create a cleaner interface, make long conversations easier to read, and allow users to focus on the final answer without losing access to the underlying work when needed.

I have a working implementation of this: PR #41264 adds a /focus toggle that collapses each multi-step turn into a one-line tool summary + final text + hidden count (turn grouping by parentID, in-place update as new messages arrive, opt-in via command palette or focus_view keybind, persists across sessions). Interactive design spec: packages/opencode/specs/focus-view-design.html. Implemented as opt-in rather than default so existing behavior is unchanged — happy to adjust toward default-on if that's preferred for this issue.
