Research direction

Start by mapping how the TUI separates streaming messages from error logs and where the current pinned-log display is assembled. Then inspect the existing slash-command or shortcut handling before deciding how notifications and log expansion should connect. Done means logs no longer remain pinned or stack, while users can see a brief notification and expand the available logs on demand.

Description

TUI

Problem: TUI architecture separates streaming messages from logs; interleaving would require major refactor. Currently, error logs are pinned above streaming messages, feel intrusive, persist until chat reset, and can stack.

Proposed solution: Replace pinned logs with a single, unobtrusive notification (e.g., brief red message) indicating logs are available; allow users to expand on demand via a slash command or shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+L).
