Summary
display.input_max_linesso the prompt_toolkit input box can grow past the hard-coded 8-line capdisplay.collapse_large_pastesso users can keep large pasted text editable in the input buffer instead of collapsing it into a temp-file placeholderWhy
The current CLI hard-codes an 8-line input box and always collapses large pasted blocks. That makes long multi-line prompts harder to inspect/edit in-place, especially when pasting notes, code, logs, or structured prompts. This change keeps the existing defaults, but lets users opt into a taller input area and disable paste collapsing entirely.
