sub-coder more info

[heinrichI]

Is it possible to show more information about what is happening in sub-agents?
Crl+O not change anything. More precisely, with Crl+O the screen flashes green and it is impossible to read anything.
I run on Windows.

Two separate things here, so let me split them.

Showing more sub-agent detail: ctrl+o is the right key — it's pi's "expand / more" toggle for tool output. But note when it has nothing to expand: during a Deep Research run (f2) the research agents are separate child processes, so their tool output never enters this session's transcript — the progress bar is the view of that work, and ctrl+o can't expand what isn't there. For dispatch sub-coders the live tracker (reworked in v1.12.0) shows every running sub-coder plus recent finished ones. If you're after each sub-agent's full transcript, that's isolated by design — only their concise reports come back — so there isn't currently a way to expand into a child's live output. Which of the two were you looking at in the screenshot?

The green-flash / unreadable screen on Windows is a real rendering bug and the more important half. That's a full-screen repaint going wrong rather than expected behavior. To chase it down I need a bit more:

• Which terminal? (Windows Terminal, conhost/cmd, PowerShell, VS Code integrated, ConEmu…)
• little-coder --version and your Node version
• Does the flash happen only on ctrl+o, or also on other full-redraw actions (resize, ctrl+h, opening the model picker)?

Keeping this open — the Windows repaint is worth fixing. Please also make sure you're on v1.13.0 (just released) so we're looking at the current tracker code.
