Problem: When terminal commands are added to github.copilot.chat.terminalCommands.autoApproval, they are displayed in a minimized/compact text block. There is no way to auto-approve commands while still seeing them displayed prominently in the chat.
Current behavior: Command visibility is coupled to approval status — auto-approved commands are always minimized, while commands requiring approval are shown prominently.
Desired behavior: A separate setting to control the display style of auto-approved commands, independent of whether they require manual approval. For example:
Use case: As a developer learning and reviewing AI-assisted workflows, I want to see what commands are being run on my behalf — even when I trust them enough to auto-approve. Observability and authorization are separate concerns; the current UX conflates them.
Proposed options:
"expanded" — show auto-approved commands with the same prominence as manually approved ones
"compact" — current behavior (default)
This would let users maintain trust-based auto-approval while keeping full visibility into agent actions.
