Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug In the latest update all shell commands being executed are beingh hidden, obscuring what the agent is doing and allowing for security issues to whiz by if a setting is wrong.

They are collapsed in a new UX pattern. Im in manual approval mode. It would be very nice indeed to have at least a settings option to say “auto collapse approved commands” on/off to preserve the old behavior Thanks!
