Description

When the subagent window is opened in the sidebar and the agent is working, the window always scrolls up. Also, it would be good to see the compaction of its tool calls, because the thread becomes really big when the orchestrator reuses the same sub-agent. Or at least have an option to select the setting for its compaction.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior from the /chat path with the subagent window opened in the sidebar while the agent is working. Done means the window no longer jumps to the top, and the issue’s requested approach to compacting repeated tool calls is defined and implemented or explicitly scoped.
