Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Toggle to hide tool call activity during streaming
### Proposed solution
When the model uses tools, the UI shows intermediate activity like:
"Checking my documentation"
└ # GitHub Copilot CLI Documentation
"Running bash command"
└ ...
This is informative but noisy, especially for quick questions where multiple tools fire.
Request: Add a keybinding (e.g., Ctrl+T style) or /command to toggle between:
1. Show all tool activity (current default)
2. Show only final response text (hidden tool calls) + show in footer/status bar that call activity is hidden
The hidden view would still show the final answer — just hide the intermediate "working on it" indicators. Similar to how Ctrl+T toggles reasoning display.
