This is a tracking issue for enhancing the compact tool output experience across Gemini CLI. The goal is to provide more concise, readable, and information-rich summaries of tool execution, especially for large or repetitive outputs.

Long and repetitive tool outputs currently clutter the CLI interface, making it difficult for users to track the overall flow of conversation and tool execution. By compacting these outputs into meaningful summaries, we improve readability, reduce cognitive load, and make the agent's work more transparent and accessible.
