What issue are you seeing?
Codex now ambiguously says "Ran number commands", without giving any information on what those commands are, or why. Firstly, this is annoying, Anthropic did this before they moved to basically showing you absolutely nothing between a prompt and its output, and it's one of the main reasons I hate using their product. They rightfully received a lot of backlash over that.
Can we not move in the same direction as Anthropic where all of the useful feedback from the model is hidden away? Yeah, ctrl+t lets you see the transcript, but its slow to load and spammy. I'd much rather just see the commands scrolling than have them grouped and have no idea what is happening. Or give us a way to toggle it... But I don't like the move toward hiding things from the user. We shouldn't have to sit there toggling back and forth to know what the model is doing.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
See above.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Codex CLI terminal output that renders the "Ran number commands" summary, then compare it with the transcript opened by Ctrl+T. Determine how command output is grouped and identify the smallest user-visible behavior that would show commands directly or provide a toggle; done means the change is observable during command execution and does not require switching to the transcript.
