When the LLM reads the same file multiple times in sequence (scrolling
through a large file), instead of showing each as a separate line:
● read_file | path [0..2000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
● read_file | path [2000..4000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
● read_file | path [4000..6000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
Now shows a cleaner continuation format:
● read_file | path [0..2000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
└─ reading further [2000..4000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
└─ reading further [4000..6000] | 50 lines | 100 ◉ 5ms
This makes it visually clear that the agent is scrolling through
a single file rather than reading multiple different files.
Implementation:
- Added last_read_file_path field to ConsoleUiWriter
- Detect when consecutive read_file calls target the same file
- Print continuation format for subsequent reads
- Reset tracking when:
- A different tool is executed (shell, write_file, etc.)
- A different file is read
- Text is output between tool calls
