id: 28 title: Include Command Snippet in Session-Scoped Approval Label status: Not started # one of: Not started, Started, Needs manual review, Done, Cancelled summary: When asking for session-scoped approval of a command, embed a truncated snippet of the actual command in the approval label for clarity. goal: | Improve the session-scoped approval option label for commands by including a backtick-quoted snippet of the command itself (truncated to fit). This makes it clear exactly which command (including parameters) will be auto-approved for the session. ## Acceptance Criteria - The session-scoped approval label changes from generic text to include a snippet of the current command, e.g.:
text Yes, always allow running `cat x | foo --bar > out` for this session (a) - If the command is too long, truncate the middle (e.g. long-part…end-part) to fit a configurable max length. - Implement the snippet templating in both Rust and JS UIs for consistency. - Add unit tests to verify snippet extraction, truncation logic, and label rendering for various command lengths. ## Implementation How it was implemented
- In the command-review widget, capture the commandForDisplay string and apply a truncateMiddle(maxLen) helper. - Embed the truncated snippet into the session-scoped approval option label. - Make maxSnippetLength configurable via UI settings (default e.g. 30 characters). - Add tests covering snippet lengths under, equal to, and exceeding the max length, verifying correct ellipsis placement. ## Notes - This clarifies what parameters will be auto-approved and avoids ambiguity when multiple similar commands occur.
