Summary
Outputfield toAppliedActionResultto capture stdout/stderr from commands, file read results, and user responsesToolRunner.RunCommandsignature fromerrorto(string, error)to surface command outputDetails
The agent previously discarded stdout from successful commands and silently no-op'd
ask_userprompts, which meant it couldn't reason about what actually happened during execution. This change threads output through every action type —run_commandreturns stdout on success and stderr on failure,list_filesandread_filescapture their results, andask_usernow prompts the user and stores their response. TheformatApplyResultsfunction in the setup command includes this output (truncated to 4KB) when building context for subsequent LLM rounds, enabling the agent to make informed decisions based on prior results.This is Section 1 of the agent setup improvements plan (
docs/AGENT_SETUP_IMPROVEMENTS.md).
