Rich History Storage Implemented
Full implementation of Option B - store rich details up to 10KB per result
Output
Rich History Storage Implemented
Summary
Implemented Option B: Full Rich Storage - tool results now store content up to 10KB with structured data for full-fidelity history playback.
Changes Made
konsole/src/kontext.ts ├── addToolResult() now accepts optional details parameter └── Stores output.details in workingHistory konsole/src/stream.ts ├── buildRichDetailsForStorage() - extracts content/structured/outputType ├── Cold session path: passes richDetails to builder └── Hot session path: passes richDetails to builder + session history konui/src/console-render-items.ts ├── renderToolResult() enhanced for rich content ├── Renders files output via renderFileList() ├── Renders search output via renderSearchResults() ├── Renders shell output via renderShellOutput() └── Short text outputs (<20 lines) rendered inline
Data Flow
Tool Result Event │ ▼ buildRichToolResult() → RichToolResult { content: "..." (up to 10KB) structured: { files, matchCount, ... } outputType: "files" | "search" | "shell" | ... } │ ▼ buildRichDetailsForStorage() → { content, structured, outputType, truncated } │ ▼ kontext.workingHistory[].output.details → Persisted to disk │ ▼ History Playback → renderToolResult() reads details and renders rich content
Storage Impact
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Tool result storage | summary + length only | + content (10KB) + structured |
| Estimated per-kontext growth | - | ~50-100KB with many tool calls |
| History fidelity | Partial | Full (matches real-time) |
Test Fixes
Also fixed pre-existing test failures where tests didn't account for addText() adding items to workingHistory (from commit 3600bb0b).

123a05df Turn: Implement rich history storage for tool results 5 files changed, 110 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)
Next Steps
Restart konsole to apply changes. New kontexts will include rich details; existing kontexts remain unchanged (no migration needed - history gracefully falls back to summary-only display).
