fix(desktop): keep thinking, answers, and writer output visible in compact view#4101

…mpact view Compact/minimal mode folded each completed step into "Processed", which hid what the user most wants to see: the model's reasoning (stripped entirely in minimal), its answer text between tool calls, and writer output (bash was stripped in minimal). Only read-only research should fold away. Render the hot zone the way the warm zone already does — flat, batching only completed read-only tools into ReadOnlyBatch. Thinking now shows live while it streams; answer text and writer diff/output are visible by default; read-only research stays in the slim batch fold. Drops the now-unused TurnCollapse + stepGroups machinery and the expandWhileStreaming flag that only existed to mask the fold flicker.

Summary
Follow-up to #4059. In compact/minimal mode the transcript folded every completed step into a "Processed" block, which hid the substance of a turn:
expandWhileStreaming={false}), and minimal mode stripped reasoning from completed steps entirely.bashcards outright.Only read-only research (read/grep/glob/ls/web_fetch) should fold to keep a long run of reads quiet. Everything else is the substance the user wants visible.
Changes
WarmTurnItems) already does: flat, batching only completed read-only tools intoReadOnlyBatch. Running tools, writers, and assistant text/thinking render directly. Removes thestepGroups+TurnCollapsestep-fold machinery (net -175 lines).expandWhileStreamingflag (it only existed to mask the now-gone fold flicker); reasoning auto-opens while streaming, then stays available behind the toggle once the answer arrives.ToolCardopens by default for non-read-only tools that produced a diff or output (and for any errored tool), so you see what a command did without expanding. Read-only research stays folded. Sub-agent cards still open while running. Manual toggle / Ctrl+B still override.TurnCollapseCSS and thetranscript.processed*i18n keys.Behavior by mode
Compact and minimal now behave the same (both show substance + batch reads); collapsing the two modes can be a separate follow-up.
Test status
tsc --noEmitclean for the changed files (local env still reports the usualwailsjs/ new-dep gaps that CI resolves viawails generate+ a fresh install).
