title: Bash Command Rendering Improvements for Less Verbosity
status: Not started
summary: Render bash commands more concisely and shorten tool output annotations.
goal: |
Adjust agent output formatting for shell commands and tool logs to:
- Render bash commands without wrapping them in `bash -lc "..."`.
- Display role-prefixed messages on a single line (role and content space-separated).
- Shorten command-result annotations, using `✅ <duration>ms` for successful runs or `exit code: <code> <duration>ms` for failures.
> *This task is specific to per-agent UI conventions and log readability.*
## Acceptance Criteria
- Shell commands render as plain text without `bash -lc` wrappers.
- Role labels and message content appear on the same line, separated by a space.
- Command-result annotations show a checkmark and duration for zero exit codes, or `exit code: N` and duration for nonzero codes, in the format `<icon or exit code> <duration>ms`.
- Existing functionality remains unaffected beyond formatting changes.
- Automated examples or tests verify the new rendering behavior.
## Implementation
**How it was implemented**
- Update the internal shell-command renderer to strip out `bash -lc` wrappers and emit raw commands.
- Modify the message formatting component to place role labels and content on one line.
- Refactor the result-annotation logic to emit `✅ 12ms` or `exit code: 123 12ms`.
- Add or extend tests/examples to cover these formatting rules.
## Notes
- Improves readability of interactive sessions and logs by reducing boilerplate.
- Ensure compatibility with both live TUI output and persisted log transcripts.
