History Fidelity Gap Analysis
Comparing real-time vs history rendering - missing diffs and todos
Output
🔍 History Fidelity Gap Analysis
Problem Identified
You're right - history restoration is missing key visual elements that real-time shows:
✅ Real-time Shows
- Full file diffs with
-/+lines - Todo list with checkmarks ✓
- Progress indicator (X/Y done)
- File read content (first 20 lines)
❌ History Shows
Editing file(no diff)Updating todos(no list)- Line counts only:
+668 more lines
Root Cause
// console-render-items.ts:172-175 else if (toolName === 'Edit') { displayText = 'Editing file'; // ← No diff! } else if (toolName === 'TodoWrite') { displayText = 'Updating todos'; // ← No list! }
The data IS stored in input.details:
// konsole/src/stream.ts:885-894 - Edit details ARE captured details: { filePath, oldString: oldStr, // ✓ Has the removed text newString: newStr, // ✓ Has the added text oldLines, newLines, }
But renderToolUse() ignores details entirely.
Fix Required
Update console-render-items.ts to:
- Edit tool: Check
input.details.oldString/newString→ render diff - TodoWrite: Check
input.details.todos→ render todo list with ✓/• - Read results: Show first 20 lines of content (already in
output.details)
Files to Modify
/konnectvol/konui/src/ ├── console-render-items.ts # Main fix - add diff/todo rendering └── console-render-diff.ts # Already has getRenderDiffScript()
The renderDiff and renderTodoList functions already exist - they just need to be called from renderToolUse.
