Brennan Benson c511e51442 fix(mobile): label native-chat tool rows with a clean, expandable input summary (STA-3333) (#12498)
* fix(mobile): label tool rows with a clean summary, expand full input (STA-3333)

Mobile tool rows showed the raw input JSON (`{"file_path":…}`) as the row
label, and the expanded detail just repeated that same truncated string.

- `describeToolInput` labels a row with the target file path, else the
  primary argument (command/cmd/query/pattern/url/description), else the
  bounded JSON preview.
- Codex delivers tool arguments as a JSON string; normalize those into the
  object shape the helpers already understand, so labels, file links,
  run summaries and the expanded detail all work for Codex calls too.
- The expanded detail now renders the fully formatted input, capped at
  MAX_TOOL_RESULT_CHARS like desktop's tool detail (and like the result
  body), and a structured input makes the row expandable.

* fix(mobile): name search rows by their term and keep the filename in path labels (STA-3333)

Review follow-ups to the tool-row summary, all in the shared helper:

- A Grep/Glob row labelled itself with the directory it scanned and dropped
  the pattern entirely, because `toolFilePath` treats `path` as a file target.
  That path is a scan root, so it also rendered a tap-to-open link that asked
  the app to open a folder. `toolFilePath` now ignores the generic `path` key
  for search-shaped input, which lets the pattern win the label and drops the
  bogus link; an explicit `file_path` still wins.

- An overlong path was truncated from the head, cutting off the basename —
  the one part that tells two rows apart. Trim from the front instead, so
  the label reads `…/session/MobileNativeChatMessage.tsx`.

- The primary-argument chain used `??`, so a present-but-blank key selected
  itself and swallowed the keys ranked after it, dropping the label all the
  way back to raw JSON. Take the first key that actually yields a label.

Refs STA-3333.

* fix(mobile): don't offer an expander whose detail repeats the row (STA-3333)

An empty tool input formats back to the row label verbatim, so `{}` and `[]`
advertised an expander and then re-showed the label — the same repeat-the-JSON
problem this change set out to remove. Gate `isStructuredToolInput` on the
collection actually having contents; the lazy detail path is untouched.

Also pins the overlong-path test to the path itself: asserting only length<=80
plus a `…` passed just as well with path labelling deleted.

* fix(mobile): gate the tool detail panel on having detail (STA-3333)

The Tools toggle opens every row at once, bypassing the row's tap guard,
so a row with nothing to expand rendered its own label again underneath
itself — and the tap that would dismiss it is a no-op. Matches desktop.

* fix(mobile): keep a blank tool argument out of the run header (STA-3333)

Skipping a present-but-blank primary key let `briefToolArg` fall through
to the raw JSON preview, so a run header read `Bash {"command":""}` where
it used to read `Bash`. Also state the search-path trade-off honestly:
suppressing the link costs a file-scoped search its tap target.

* fix(mobile): only treat a blank primary key as a missing argument (STA-3333)

The previous guard tested key presence, so a populated but non-string
argument — a mixed argv like ['kill','-9',pid], or a structured query —
dropped out of the run header instead of falling back to the preview.

* test(mobile): pin the tool-row chevron to the detail panel (STA-3333)

The panel gate was covered but the chevron beside it was not: swapping
`showDetail` back to `expanded` on the icon alone left all 909 mobile
tests green, so the affordance lie this branch fixes could return
unnoticed — a down-chevron over no panel, on a row whose tap is guarded
off.

Asserts both icon counts on the fixture that test already renders. The
two halves now die for distinct reasons: the panel gate on the duplicate
label text, the chevron on the icon count.

* test(shared): pin the blank-search-key guard in the tool label (STA-3333)

Dropping `.trim()` from summarizePrimaryToolArg left all 32 tests green,
yet it leaks through isSearchToolInput: a whitespace-only `query` starts
counting as a search term, which suppresses `path`. One character takes
the row's label, its tap-to-open link and its run-header argument at
once, and puts the raw JSON label back — the bug this branch removes.

Asserts all three outputs on that shape. Kills only that mutant; the
isSearchToolInput mutant still dies on the existing search test.

* fix(native-chat): share tool input display semantics (STA-3333)

Build the tool row label, file target, detail eligibility and bounded detail from one normalized input model. Mobile no longer reparses JSON-string input across independent helpers or repeats an already-complete plain label, and desktop now uses the same clean row summary instead of retaining raw JSON.\n\nKeep full detail formatting lazy for collapsed rows and share the 4000-character detail cap across both renderers. Tests pin desktop adoption, mobile disclosure parity, one-pass JSON parsing and the shared bound.
