 ### Changed
 - The tab bar now shows each visible agent tab's own summary instead
   of only rendering the focused tab's summary.
-- Grid-mode `get_process_output` now returns whitespace-normalized
-  text to avoid sending padded terminal rows and repeated blank lines
-  over MCP.
+- `get_process_output` now returns aggressively canonical terminal text
+  by default, removing ANSI/control noise, decorative borders, duplicate
+  status churn, and volatile progress/timer fragments; raw PTY bytes are
+  opt-in with `raw:true`.
 - MCP responses now use slimmer defaults: tool-call JSON is no longer
   duplicated into text content, large output and scratchpad reads are
   capped with truncation metadata, and `whoami` / `get_project_status`
