# Working Panel Truncation Fix

## Problem

The "Working" panel in the UI was truncating bash commands and descriptions too aggressively, cutting them off at 40 characters with "...". This made it impossible to see the LLM's context/descriptions when commands included inline comments like:

```bash
cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Check if the repository exists
```

**Before fix:**
```
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Ch...
```

The user couldn't see the full context of what the agent was doing without expanding the working card.

## Root Cause

Two truncation issues:

1. **JavaScript truncation** in `toolDisplay.ts`:
   - Commands defaulted to 40 character limit
   ```typescript
   const shortCmd = cmd.length > 40 ? cmd.substring(0, 40) + "..." : cmd;
   ```

2. **CSS truncation** in `WorkingCard.css`:
   - `.working-label-secondary` used `text-overflow: ellipsis` with `white-space: nowrap`
   - `.working-label-container` used `align-items: center` which prevented multi-line text
   - Prevented descriptions from wrapping to show full content

## Solution

### 1. Increase Character Limit (toolDisplay.ts)

Changed the default command truncation from 40 to 120 characters:

```typescript
// Default: show first 120 chars of command (increased from 40 to show more context)
const shortCmd = cmd.length > 120 ? cmd.substring(0, 120) + "..." : cmd;
return `${prefix}: ${shortCmd}`;
```

### 2. Allow Text Wrapping (WorkingCard.css)

Updated `.working-label-secondary` to allow wrapping instead of truncating:

```css
.working-label-secondary {
  font-weight: 400;
  color: var(--text-secondary);
  font-size: 12px;
  /* Allow wrapping to show full descriptions instead of truncating */
  overflow-wrap: break-word;
  word-break: break-word;
  line-height: 1.4;
}
```

### 3. Update Container Layout (WorkingCard.css)

Updated `.working-label-container` to support multi-line text:

```css
.working-label-container {
  display: flex;
  align-items: flex-start; /* Changed from center to allow multi-line */
  gap: 8px;
  flex: 1;
  overflow: hidden;
  flex-wrap: wrap; /* Allow wrapping to next line */
}
```

### 4. Update Header Alignment (WorkingCard.css)

Updated `.working-card-header` to support multi-line secondary labels:

```css
.working-card-header {
  display: flex;
  align-items: flex-start; /* Changed from center to allow multi-line secondary labels */
  gap: 8px;
  margin-bottom: 8px;
  font-size: 13px;
  cursor: pointer;
  user-select: none;
  padding: 4px 0; /* Add vertical padding for better spacing with wrapped text */
}
```

## Result

**Before:**
```
Working
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Ch...
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Fi...
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # So...
```

**After:**
```
Working
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Check if the repository exists and contains 
  the files we need to verify
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Find Holographic embedding implementations
→ Running: cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # So the embeddings are using VertexAI...
```

The full context is now visible in the collapsed working panel, making it much easier to understand what the agent is doing without needing to expand the card.

## Benefits

1. **Better Context Visibility** - Users can see full command descriptions in the working panel
2. **No Information Loss** - Up to 120 characters shown before truncation (was 40)
3. **Multi-line Support** - Long descriptions wrap to multiple lines instead of being cut off
4. **Better UX** - Users don't need to expand the working card to understand what's happening
5. **Backward Compatible** - Short commands display exactly as before

## Testing

Test cases to verify:

1. **Short bash command:**
   ```json
   {"command": "ls -la"}
   ```
   - Should display normally, no wrapping needed

2. **Bash command with short description:**
   ```json
   {"command": "cd ~/Documents # Navigate to docs"}
   ```
   - Should show full command + description on one line

3. **Bash command with long description:**
   ```json
   {"command": "cd ~/Documents/GitHub/memory # Check if the repository exists and verify all files"}
   ```
   - Should wrap to multiple lines, showing full description

4. **Very long command (>120 chars):**
   - Should truncate at 120 characters with "..."
   - Still shows 3x more context than before (was 40 chars)

## Files Modified

- `ui/utils/toolDisplay.ts` - Increased character limit from 40 to 120
- `ui/components/Chat/WorkingCard.css` - Enabled text wrapping and multi-line support
