Improve tool result rendering for multiple text items#179
Conversation
In human mode, hide the `_meta` field (still included in --json) and treat any `content` array consisting of only `type: "text"` items the same way a single text item was treated: print the joined texts inside quadruple backticks and skip `structuredContent`. This gives LLMs and humans a cleaner, unambiguous view when servers split text output across multiple text blocks. https://claude.ai/code/session_011WvveGQ76Mq6vapAWxamVt

The refactored
extractAllTextContent()uses early returns for validation, then iterates through all content items to collect text values. If any item is not a text type, the function returnsundefinedimmediately, ensuring the caller only uses this path when all content is text.https://claude.ai/code/session_011WvveGQ76Mq6vapAWxamVt
