Stack context

Bottom of a six-PR stack that adds the Collapse assistant steps chat preference (Agents > Settings, off by default). With it on, each turn's consecutive tool-step rows fold into one disclosure: "Worked for 2m 14s (7 steps)" once the turn completes, or a ticking "Working for 12s" while it runs. The stack was split out of #29115 for review size; #29115 now sits at the top with the full feature description and the UAT record.

Why

The chat UI reads a per-user boolean to decide whether to fold steps. This layer stores it and exposes it through the preference settings API and SDK.

collapse_assistant_steps follows the existing task_notification_alert_dismissed boolean pattern: a user_configs key with dbauthz wrappers, no migration. The generated API docs and TypeScript types are regenerated, and the frontend preference mocks gain the new required field.

This PR was prepared by Xum, an AI coding agent, on behalf of @ibetitsmike.

Sorry, something went wrong.

feat: add a collapse_assistant_steps user preference
87292f1 
Adds the per-user preference the chat UI will read to fold assistant tool
steps into a single "Worked for" disclosure. Stores it on users, exposes it
through the preference settings API and SDK, and regenerates the API docs
and TypeScript types.

Documentation Check

New Documentation Needed

  • docs/ai-coder/agents/chat-settings.md - No conceptual page documents the agent chat display preferences in Agents > Settings. This PR ships collapse_assistant_steps on the public GET/PUT /api/v2/users/{user}/preferences endpoints as the API layer of a six-PR stack whose top PR (feat(site): add the collapse assistant steps chat preference #29115) adds the user-visible Collapse assistant steps switch. Per the content guidelines, a new setting that changes user-visible behavior needs a conceptual home, and the multi-PR launch exception allows it to be written now, in the present tense, as part of this stack.
    • Suggested home: a new page under docs/ai-coder/agents/ (for example docs/ai-coder/agents/chat-settings.md) that enumerates the chat display preferences a user configures in Agents > Settings, including Collapse assistant steps (off by default: folds a turn's consecutive tool steps into one disclosure, "Worked for 2m 14s (7 steps)" once the turn completes, or "Working for 12s" while it runs). Add the page to docs/manifest.json and link it from the agent settings navigation.
    • Evidence: searches for collapse_assistant_steps, Collapse assistant steps, collapse assistant steps, thinking_display_mode, code_diff_display_mode, shell_tool_display_mode, agent_chat_send_shortcut, Thinking display, Code diff, Shell tool display, send shortcut, and display mode across docs/ (excluding docs/reference/) all returned no hits, so no page today enumerates these preferences. The API reference pages regenerated in this PR (docs/reference/api/schemas.md, docs/reference/api/users.md) do not close a conceptual-guide gap.

    ⚠️ Checked but no corresponding documentation changes found in this PR
