Note

Low Risk
Chat UI and work-log derivation only; no auth, persistence, or API contract changes beyond displaying existing tool payloads.

Overview
Web search tool calls in the chat work log now show what the model searched instead of a generic label.

session-logic now keeps toolData from orchestration payloads for web_search entries (same pattern as MCP), so search items survive lifecycle collapse. Preview and expand rendering moved into workEntryDetails: the row shows the first query (or +N more), find-in-page style actions when relevant, and expanding shows pretty-printed JSON of the full payload (queries, results, URLs).

Note

Add web search tool details to work timeline entries

• Extracts workEntryPreview and buildToolCallExpandedBody into a new workEntryDetails.ts module, removing local implementations from MessagesTimeline.tsx.
• Work entries with itemType: 'web_search' now show the first search query in compact preview, with a +N more suffix when multiple queries exist.
• The expanded body for web_search entries now includes a pretty-printed JSON block of the tool data alongside existing command/detail/changed-files sections.
• toDerivedWorkLogEntry in session-logic.ts now populates toolData for web_search items in addition to mcp_tool_call.
