Summary

Settled turns currently leak their process all over the transcript: every OMP interjection stays a labeled divider card, every status row splits the work groups, and each delegated run keeps a pinned row forever. A busy turn can leave dozens of standalone chrome rows between the question and the answer.

This change makes the fold time-aware instead of adding more exceptions:

  • Live turns are untouched. Interjections still land on their own labeled rows, status rows still mark the stream, and delegated runs keep their pinned rows — the reader needs somewhere to watch.
  • Settled turns fold all of it into the work trail. Interjections and delegated runs join the activity groups; ordinary status rows are work steps; the transcript reads as prompt, one fold line, and the answer.
  • Inside the trail everything stays reachable: advisor/IRC notes become compact one-line rows that open to the full note; each delegated run is a compact row that opens onto its own trail, unchanged.
  • A run that died keeps its own row — a rejected delegated run parks under the fold line already open on the provider's reason, exactly as it did while live.
  • Folded prose is muted (zen-fold-prose): dimmed ink, headings demoted to bold lines, tighter spacing — so mid-turn notes can no longer pose as the final answer.

Summaries gain a notes clause (Ran 3 commands · 2 notes), and a group holding nothing but absorbed notes is just that clause. Status rows count nowhere.

Test plan

  • Unit matrix for the settled trail: status rows in-group (live/default/settled), interjection live-standalone vs settled-folded, delegated run live-pinned vs settled-folded, failed run kept outside the fold, fold spanning the whole trail, trailing notes after the answer, fold reaching across a live-fold-stopping interjection
  • Component tests: live divider vs settled compact note row (opens to full text), failed run auto-open in both modes, zen-fold-prose marker lands on folded prose only
  • Rendered three real persisted sessions (up to 40 interjections / 5 delegated runs / 106-block folds): settled DOM shows zero standalone dividers or subagent panels; live DOM keeps the last turn's 11 interjections as their own rows
  • npm run check:web — 2221 tests green; npx tsc --noEmit clean

…to the work trail

While a turn is live nothing changes: advisor notes and IRC messages land
on their own labeled rows, status rows mark the stream, and delegated runs
keep their pinned rows so there is somewhere to watch. Once the turn
settles, all of it becomes work like any other call — the transcript reads
as prompt, one fold line, and the answer, with every note and run a click
away inside the trail.

A run that died keeps its own row even then: it parks under the fold line
and opens onto the provider's reason, exactly as it did while live.

A mid-turn note rendered with the same markdown chrome as the final
answer, so an opened fold could pass itself off as the result it led to.
Folded prose now sits one notch quieter: dimmed ink, headings demoted to
bold lines, tighter rhythm — readable, but clearly the agent talking
while it works.

Walkthrough

Changes

The transcript now separates live and settled activity differently. Settled interjections and successful delegated runs can fold into work summaries, while rejected runs remain separate. New transcript rows render statuses, interjections, and subagents with dedicated expansion behavior. Folded prose uses scoped Zen styling.

Work trail folding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Live and settled activity grouping
src/surfaces/transcriptActivity.ts, src/surfaces/transcriptActivity.test.ts
Grouping and summaries now account for settled state, interjections, status rows, delegated runs, rejected runs, and note counts.
Transcript row rendering
src/surfaces/AgentTranscript.tsx, src/surfaces/AgentTranscript.test.ts, src/surfaces/AgentTranscript.interjection.test.ts
The transcript renders dedicated status and interjection rows, reuses SubagentRow, preserves rejected-run expansion, and validates live and settled behavior.
Folded prose presentation and coverage
src/index.css, src/surfaces/AgentTranscript.tsx, src/surfaces/AgentTranscript.foldProse.test.tsx
Folded prose receives scoped styling. Tests verify expansion behavior and keep final-answer rendering outside the folded prose wrapper.

Status-only work trails can be shown as agent reasoning rather than an update, and a regression in settled delegated-run folding may escape this test. Both fixes are localized; merge is reasonable with owner awareness.

Fail the test when the settled item has the wrong type.

The early return lets the test pass if groupTurnItems returns one non-activity item. Replace it with a failing guard.

Proposed fix
-    if (items[0]?.type !== "activity") return;
+    if (items[0]?.type !== "activity") {
+      throw new Error("expected settled delegated run to fold into activity");
+    }

Classify status-only activity as a status update.

groupTurnItems includes non-interjection system blocks in an activity, including a trailing activity after an answer. buildActivityPhases opens that activity as a note phase, and ActivityStatusRow renders the status text. However, tallySteps excludes the status from counted work and note counts, so workSummaryLine falls back to "Thought". workKind falls back to "think", which removes the fold icon instead of using the note presentation.

Use a status-specific summary and the note presentation kind. Continue to exclude status rows from note counts.

Proposed fix
 export function workSummaryLine(steps: Block[], live = false): string {
   const tally = tallySteps(steps);
+  const hasStatus = steps.some(
+    (block) => block.role === "system" && !block.interjection,
+  );
   const notes =
     tally.notes === 1
       ? "1 note"
       : tally.notes > 1
         ? `${tally.notes} notes`
         : "";
   if (tally.order.length === 0) {
-    return notes || (live ? "Thinking" : "Thought");
+    return notes || (hasStatus ? "Update" : live ? "Thinking" : "Thought");
   }

 export function workKind(steps: Block[]): ActivityPhaseKind {
   return (
     dominantWorkKind(steps) ??
-    (steps.some((block) => block.interjection) ? "note" : "think")
+    (steps.some((block) => block.role === "system") ? "note" : "think")
   );
