Detail levels and compact rendering of conversations

[cboos]

We add a --detail <level> CLI flag that controls how much of a conversation gets rendered, and a --compact flag that merges consecutive same-type headings in Markdown output.

---

Summary

--detail <level> — controls message-type filtering

• full (default): everything
• high: detailed but cleaned (drops SystemMessage, HookSummaryMessage, SlashCommandMessage, CommandOutputMessage, CompactedSummaryMessage, UserMemoryMessage, UnknownMessage). Keeps tools, bash, thinking.
• low: interaction-focused + key signals (drops Read/Edit/Bash/etc. tool_use/result, thinking, sidechains). Keeps WebSearch, WebFetch, and Task (agent delegation) tool_use/result pairs.
• minimal: user + assistant text only (equivalent to the original --shallow proposal).

Implemented via a cumulative per-level exclude-class system (_HIGH_EXCLUDE_CLASSES, _LOW_EXCLUDE_CLASSES, _MINIMAL_EXCLUDE_CLASSES). low uses an additional keep-set for tool_use by name (_LOW_KEEP_TOOLS = {"WebSearch", "WebFetch", "Task"}).

--compact — merges consecutive same-type headings (Markdown only)

When --detail low or --detail minimal strips tools, you often get runs of consecutive User or Assistant sections, each with its own ### heading. --compact merges them: the first heading stays, subsequent same-type headings are suppressed. Flow-of-reading is preserved.

Markdown-only (HTML output has its own fold/expand UI). Works at any --detail level, most useful with low / minimal.

Test plan

• uv run pytest -n auto test/test_detail_levels.py -v — 40+ tests pass (4 HIGH + 5 LOW + 6 compact-markdown + existing minimal coverage)
• uv run pytest -n auto — full suite passes (897 unit tests)
• uv run pyright — 0 errors
• uv run ty check — clean
• Manual: claude-code-log --detail minimal path/to/file.jsonl produces clean user/assistant-only output
• Manual: claude-code-log --detail low --compact --format md path/to/file.jsonl merges consecutive assistants into a single heading

Release Notes

• New Features

  • Added --detail <level> CLI flag (full / high / low / minimal) replacing the older binary --shallow idea with a four-level filtering system.
  • Added --compact CLI flag that merges consecutive same-type headings in Markdown output, improving readability of stripped transcripts.
  • --detail low preserves WebSearch/WebFetch/Task tool calls as key conversation signals.

• Tests

  • Comprehensive coverage across all detail levels and compact-Markdown behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added --detail (full|high|low|minimal) and --compact flags; compaction-point navigation items added.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Cache invalidation does not account for render mode (shallow vs full).

shallow is now threaded through generation, but staleness checks/early exits are still mode-agnostic. That can serve the wrong artifact when users switch modes on the same output path.

Neither "compact" nor "shallow" feels right. Maybe "coarse", as opposed to "detailed"?
I'll redo this one on top of the DAG PRs, #97 and #99.

After a little brainstorming session with ChatGPT:

✅ Final polished version

--detail full      # everything
--detail high      # detailed but cleaned (no system/hook noise)
--detail low       # interaction-focused + key signals
--detail minimal   # user + agent messages only

Does that sound right?

1295-1297: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Detail/compact not incorporated into paginated or per-session staleness checks.

detail/compact are threaded through, and the single-file branch forces regenerate when they are non-default (Lines 1309-1310, 1320-1321). But the paginated path (_generate_paginated_html uses cache_manager.is_page_stale(...) at Line 972) and _generate_individual_session_files staleness checks (Lines 1781-1787, 1790-1796) don't know about these modes. Two resulting bugs:

1. Running with --detail low --compact then again with defaults (or vice versa) on the same output path returns the cached prior-mode artifact in both the paginated and session-file cases.
2. Even in the non-paginated branch, detail != FULL or compact only forces regeneration going into those modes — cached low/compact outputs are treated as up-to-date for subsequent --detail full runs.

A complete fix needs to include detail and compact in the cache identity (marker/metadata) so page and session staleness flip when modes change. At minimum, mirror the force-regen guard into the paginated and session-file branches.

claude_code_log/markdown/renderer.py (1)

841-856: Compact mode: heading-suppression logic is sound; note one subtle state scope.

The ordering is correct: reset on session headers → check suppression against previous type → update self._last_message_type. Because the update lives inside if title:, messages that produce an empty title (other than pair_last, which already returns early at line 826) won't update the tracker and thus don't "break" a run of same-type headings. That should be fine in practice given current title methods, but it's a behavior worth keeping in mind if future title methods start returning empty strings for non-paired messages.

Also, tracking is global across the recursive tree walk rather than per-parent/per-sibling. For the current message shape (tool results as children, not repeated top-level message types) this is a non-issue, but a future nested same-type scenario could see a deeper heading accidentally suppressed.

(because _last_message_type is currently set only after building the heading),
so always assign self._last_message_type = msg_type unconditionally (i.e., move
the update out of the title/heading conditional) so runs of same-type messages
are tracked even when a specific message produces no title; keep the existing
session-reset (is_session_header) and suppress_heading calculation using compact
and msg_type intact, and add a brief comment near the _last_message_type update
to note global-tracking behavior across the recursive walk.

656-684: Fragile substring assertion for tool-name absence.

"Write" not in md.split("File created!")[0].split("Creating the file.")[1] depends on exact formatting and substring layout in the Markdown output; any future heading/prefix change (e.g., a rendered "Write" anywhere in the slice) silently breaks or masks regressions.

920-921: Bypass of get_renderer(...) creates a second renderer construction path.

_generate_paginated_html imports HtmlRenderer directly and assigns detail/compact as attributes post-init, while the rest of the file consistently uses get_renderer(format, image_export_mode, detail=detail, compact=compact) (Lines 1243, 1750). If get_renderer ever gains additional wiring (e.g., default image_export_mode, validation, instrumentation), this path will silently diverge.

look for a fallback button: query
foldBar.querySelector('.fold-one-level.full-width') and if it exists and has the

In `@test/test_dag_integration.py`:
- Around line 1378-1398: The compact-boundary fixture returned by

(or add them to the metadata/marker passed into the cache manager), or at
minimum mirror the existing force-regen guard (the detail != FULL || compact
condition used in the single-file branch) into those branches so changes to
detail/compact flip page/session staleness; refer to the functions

Nitpick comments:
In `@claude_code_log/converter.py`:
- Around line 920-921: The helper _generate_paginated_html currently imports and
constructs HtmlRenderer directly (assigning detail/compact attributes
afterwards), creating a second construction path that diverges from the rest of
the module which uses get_renderer(format, image_export_mode, detail=detail,
compact=compact); change _generate_paginated_html to call get_renderer(...)
instead of importing HtmlRenderer directly, passing through the caller's
image_export_mode (or add an image_export_mode parameter to
_generate_paginated_html if needed) so all renderer
wiring/validation/instrumentation stays centralized in get_renderer and remove
the direct HtmlRenderer usage.

In `@claude_code_log/markdown/renderer.py`:
- Around line 841-856: The suppression logic can miss updating the tracker when
a message yields an empty title (because _last_message_type is currently set
only after building the heading), so always assign self._last_message_type =
msg_type unconditionally (i.e., move the update out of the title/heading
conditional) so runs of same-type messages are tracked even when a specific
message produces no title; keep the existing session-reset (is_session_header)
and suppress_heading calculation using compact and msg_type intact, and add a
brief comment near the _last_message_type update to note global-tracking
behavior across the recursive walk.

In `@test/test_detail_levels.py`:
- Around line 656-684: The assertion in test_minimal_markdown_no_tool_content is
fragile because it slices md by literal strings; update the test to assert
absence of tool-specific content using the same robust helper/pattern used
elsewhere: call the _collect_types(md) utility (or parse md for concrete tool
markers generated from _tool_use_item/_tool_result_item) and assert that tool
names like "Write" or tool markers (e.g., entries created by
_tool_use_item/_tool_result_item) are not present in the collected types/output;
replace the substring-slice assertion with checks against _collect_types(md) or
explicit absence of tool markers on the rendered Markdown.
- Around line 721-740: The test test_minimal_markdown_on_real_projects is
picking jsonl_files[0] from an unsorted jsonl_files list built via
real_projects.iterdir() and project_dir.glob("*.jsonl"), which yields
non-deterministic order; fix by sorting the collected jsonl_files (e.g., sort by
path name) before selecting the first element so the test always uses a
deterministic file—update the code that builds jsonl_files (the loop using
real_projects.iterdir() / project_dir.glob) to append then call
jsonl_files.sort() (or use a sorted() wrapper) prior to load_transcript(...) and
generating with MarkdownRenderer/DetailLevel.MINIMAL.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Allow one ordinary primary root before warning on extra roots.

With a normal initial user root plus later compact_boundary roots, unexpected still includes that primary user root and emits the warning this change is trying to suppress. Treat one non-expected root as the session’s primary root, then warn only on additional non-expected roots.

Fallback to the single-level fold control when unfolding ancestors.

Include detail/compact in cache identity before reusing cached artifacts.

Render-mode invalidation is only partial: directory early exit, paginated page reuse, per-session reuse, and hierarchy needs_work can still skip generation for non-default output. Also, non-default renders still update the same HTML/page cache keys, so a later default render can be treated as current while the file contains filtered output.

Until cache metadata stores detail/compact, avoid cache reuse and cache updates for non-default render modes.

In @claude_code_log/cli.py:

• Around line 516-532: The --detail and --compact CLI options are never
  forwarded when exporting a single session because generate_single_session_file()
  doesn't accept them and the CLI returns before calling convert_jsonl_to; update
  generate_single_session_file() in converter.py to add detail and compact
  parameters, pass those through to get_renderer() where it's invoked (around the
  get_renderer(...) call), and then update the CLI call site that invokes
  generate_single_session_file() (the --session-id branch in cli.py) to call it
  with detail=detail_level and compact=compact so the renderer receives and
  applies those options.

In @claude_code_log/factories/system_factory.py:

• Around line 93-99: The code accepts boolean values for preTokens because
  isinstance(raw_pre, int) returns True for booleans; update the check in the
  block handling transcript.compactMetadata (inspect variables raw_pre and
  pre_tokens in system_factory.py) to use a strict type comparison (type(raw_pre)
  is int) before assigning pre_tokens, so True/False are rejected, leaving the
  raw_trigger handling unchanged for strings.

In @claude_code_log/markdown/renderer.py:

• Around line 841-856: The compact-heading suppression currently compares
  msg_type but should compare the actual rendered heading category; update the
  logic around msg_type/title/suppress_heading so suppression and the stored
  tracker use a normalized rendered-heading key (e.g., derive heading_key =
  title.lower().strip() or another stable normalization of title) instead of
  msg_type, then set self._last_message_type = heading_key and compare msg_type ==
  self._last_message_type to use heading_key in the suppress_heading condition
  (reference symbols: msg_type, title, suppress_heading, self._last_message_type,
  compact). Ensure session-header reset still clears the tracker the same way.

In @claude_code_log/renderer.py:

• Around line 693-697: The current detail-level filtering replaces ctx.messages
  with a filtered list via _filter_template_by_detail but leaves
  RenderingContext.message_index values unchanged, causing RenderingContext.get()
  and nav/parent indices to point to wrong messages; after filtering (or instead
  of assigning directly) rebuild the RenderingContext indices by remapping
  message_index values to the new positions (or re-register messages) so every
  stored index references the correct message. Locate the block that calls
  _filter_template_by_detail and update it to either perform the filter before
  messages are registered in RenderingContext or, immediately after ctx.messages
  is replaced, iterate the context's registration (or message_index map) and
  recompute indices based on the filtered ctx.messages so RenderingContext.get()
  returns consistent results.

In @test/__snapshots__/test_snapshot_html.ambr:

• Around line 6454-6471: unfoldAncestorsOf currently only opens the ancestor's
  .fold-all-levels control so messages still stay hidden if an ancestor is
  collapsed via the .fold-one-level control; update unfoldAncestorsOf to also
  find the .fold-one-level element on each ancestor's foldBar (the same place
  you look up .fold-all-levels) and, if it exists and has the folded class,
  call its click() as well so both fold controls are unfolded when navigating to
  an anchor (references: function unfoldAncestorsOf, variables ancestorMsg and
  foldBar, selectors '.fold-all-levels' and '.fold-one-level').

• Around line 539-563: The current unexpected-root check treats the normal
  initial user/assistant root as unexpected; change the logic in the
  roots-handling block so one ordinary primary root is allowed before flagging
  others: compute unexpected by skipping the first root when present (e.g.
  unexpected = [n for n in roots[1:] if not _is_expected_root_type(n.entry)]) or
  more explicitly allow roots[0] even if _is_expected_root_type(root[0].entry) is
  false, then use that unexpected list in the existing logger.warning/debug
  branches (symbols to update: roots, unexpected, _is_expected_root_type,
  session_id, logger).

In @claude_code_log/html/templates/transcript.html:

• Around line 862-867: When expanding ancestor messages, the code only checks
  for a .fold-all-levels control and misses single-level fold bars
  (.fold-one-level.full-width), leaving anchors hidden; update the ancestor
  un-folding logic in the block that queries foldBar and foldAll so it first
  looks for .fold-all-levels and if not found falls back to selecting
  .fold-one-level.full-width (e.g., a foldOne variable) and triggers a click
  on whichever control exists and is in a folded state, using the existing
  ancestorMsg.querySelector approach and reusing the foldBar element/logic.

In @dev-docs/dag.md:

• Around line 460-462: The fenced code block containing "📦 Conversation
  compacted (115k tokens) • 2026-04-14 09:09:28" lacks a language identifier;
  update that fenced block to include the text language identifier (i.e., change
  the opening backticks to ```text) so markdownlint MD040 is satisfied and the
  block is explicitly marked as plain text.

In @test/test_detail_levels.py:

• Around line 130-134: The test section and class docstring incorrectly refer to
  _filter_compact; update the section comment header and the TestFilterMinimal
  class docstring to reference the actual symbol under test, _filter_by_detail
  (replace any occurrences of "_filter_compact" with "_filter_by_detail" in this
  block), and ensure the class name TestFilterMinimal still maps to tests
  exercising _filter_by_detail.

Wire --detail and --compact into --session-id exports.

The --session-id branch returns at line 733 before reaching the convert_jsonl_to(...) calls that receive these options, so claude-code-log --session-id ... --detail minimal and --compact are silently ignored. The generate_single_session_file() function needs to accept these parameters and pass them to get_renderer().

🔎 Required changes

1. Extend generate_single_session_file() signature in converter.py to accept detail and compact parameters
2. Pass these to get_renderer() at line 1951
3. Update the call site in cli.py (lines 721–729) to pass detail=detail_level and compact=compact

1781-1787: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Per-session regeneration check does not consider detail/compact.

_generate_individual_session_files now accepts detail/compact and passes them to get_renderer, but should_regenerate_session here only checks cache staleness, version, date filters, and file existence. If a user previously generated sessions with --detail full and now requests --detail low (or vice-versa), existing session files will be served as-is.

Consider adding or detail != DetailLevel.FULL or compact to the HTML branch (mirroring Lines 1309-1310) as an interim mitigation, and ideally factoring detail/compact into the html_cache staleness key for correctness in both directions.

1059-1068: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Paginated generation bypasses is_page_stale invalidation for non-default detail/compact.

Inside _generate_paginated_html, is_page_stale (Line 972) is the sole gate for regeneration and does not account for detail/compact. Pages previously rendered with --detail full will be reused when the user requests --detail low (or vice-versa), returning the wrong content. The single-file path was hardened at Lines 1309–1310 and 1320–1321 but the paginated path has no equivalent guard.

At minimum, short-circuit is_stale when detail != DetailLevel.FULL or compact so pages always regenerate under non-default flags; longer-term, include these flags in the page_cache staleness identity.

1192-1210: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Early-exit ignores detail/compact — can serve stale artifact when flags change.

The Phase 1b early-exit at Lines 1192–1210 returns output_path based only on cache freshness and is_html_outdated, without considering detail or compact. If a user first runs with --detail low (which forces regeneration via Lines 1309-1310/1320-1321) and then re-runs with the default --detail full, is_html_stale will report not-stale and the filtered LOW artifact will be returned for a FULL request.

The should_regenerate guard added for the single-file path (Lines 1303–1311, 1314–1322) only forces regeneration when detail != FULL or compact; it cannot detect the inverse direction (switching back to FULL after a non-FULL run). A complete fix requires including detail/compact in the cache/staleness identity (e.g., stored in html_cache metadata, page cache, and session html_cache), and also checking them in this early-exit and in the paginated path (is_page_stale) and individual-session path (Lines 1781–1787).
