Console Output Analysis

Comparing Claude Terminal vs Konsole Dashboard

What Claude Terminal Shows (Rich)

  • Todo list with checkboxes - ○ pending, ● in_progress, ✓ completed
  • Hierarchical task structure - Parent tasks with indented sub-tasks
  • Active task indicator - "Updating konui dashboard to show Auto-compacting status..."
  • Timing info - "3m 53s - thinking"
  • Search context - "Found 14 files (ctrl+o to expand)"
  • Code diffs - Red/green highlighting for changes

What Konsole Shows (Basic)

  • 📖 Reading /path/to/file.ts
  • 🔍 Searching for "pattern"
  • ✏️ Editing /path/to/file.ts
  • 📋 TodoWrite: Updating todo listNo todo content!

Root Cause Analysis

TodoWrite summary Just says "Updating todo list" - doesn't extract actual todos
Edit summary Just shows file path - doesn't show what changed
Search results Only shows first 100 chars of result - no file count
Active task indicator No visual indicator of which todo is in_progress

Implementation Plan

  1. Enhance TodoWrite handling
    • Extract todos array from input
    • Show status icons: ○/●/✓
    • Display activeForm for in_progress items
  2. Improve Edit summaries
    • Show old_string → new_string (truncated)
    • Line count changed if available
  3. Better search results
    • Parse "Found N files" from result
    • Count matches in Grep results
  4. Add timing display
    • Track elapsed time since request started
    • Show "Xm Xs - working" in status

Files to Modify

  • konsole/src/stream.ts - summarizeToolInput() for richer summaries
  • konui/src/router.ts - Transform events with enhanced formatting
  • konui/src/dashboard-console.ts - Client-side rendering of todos
  • konui/src/views/layout.ts - CSS for todo list display
