Description

This is just some dogfooding feedback.

I find that the code snippets that appear in the console can take up a lot of space, that for the most part is unnecessary.

What if it only showed the last line by default, with an option to expand to show the whole thing? (We already have the "jump to cell in editor button" which is super useful).

Research direction
Examine the console component in the Iodide source code (likely under src/ or similar). Implement a toggle to show only the last line of code outputs by default, with an expand button to reveal the full snippet. Consider using React state to manage the expanded/collapsed state. Reference existing UI patterns in the project for consistency.
