Raw terminal drawer

See the underlying PTY/CLI output directly, for when the normalized conversation view isn't enough to diagnose what's happening.

The conversation view normalizes every agent's output into one consistent UI — which is convenient, but it also means it's an abstraction. The raw terminal drawer is the escape hatch: it shows the actual PTY/CLI output the structured view is built from, including a trace log.

When to use it

  • An agent's behavior doesn't match what the structured activity view shows.
  • A permission or authentication prompt isn't being recognized correctly (most relevant for Antigravity, whose entire integration is built on classifying this exact text).
  • You're collecting diagnostic information for a bug report and need the literal output, not AgentDock's interpretation of it.

Tip

If an agent seems stalled or a permission prompt looks wrong, the raw terminal drawer is the first place to check what the underlying CLI actually printed.

What it isn't

The terminal drawer is a visibility tool, not a control surface — it doesn't change what's allowed to run or let you bypass the active permission mode. It's there to help you see what happened, not to act as a second, unmediated way to drive the agent.
