Description

it's currently possible to scroll back through your console history to a fetch chunk etc, but the code will not be runnable from the console since only py and js are available. presumably fetch and other evaluable chunk types should be available too.

Research direction
The issue indicates that only 'py' and 'js' chunk types are currently available in the console scrollback. The contributor should investigate how the console determines which chunk types are evaluable, likely by examining the chunk type definitions in the codebase. Look for relevant files such as the console component or chunk registry, and consider adding the missing types like 'fetch' and others. The issue has extensive discussion (10 comments) that may provide additional context.
