Conversation
The "Compact Mode" label is more intuitive than "Verbose Mode" for users, as it directly describes the default compact view experience. This change inverts the boolean semantics (compactMode=false means show full output) and exposes the setting in the /settings dialog (showInDialog: true). - Rename ui.verboseMode → ui.compactMode with inverted default (false) - Rename VerboseModeContext → CompactModeContext (file and exports) - Rename TOGGLE_VERBOSE_MODE → TOGGLE_COMPACT_MODE in key bindings - Update all consumer components with inverted logic - Update i18n keys across 6 locales (verbose → compact) - Update VS Code settings schema - Add ui.compactMode documentation to settings.md - Fix Ctrl+O description in keyboard-shortcuts.md

Review
Clean, mechanical rename of ui.verboseMode → ui.compactMode with correctly inverted boolean semantics throughout. All 22 files are consistent — schema, context, keybindings, UI consumers, i18n (6 locales), docs, tests, and snapshots.
Verdict
APPROVE — One minor note: users who manually set ui.verboseMode in their settings.json will have the key silently ignored (no migration). Impact is low since the old setting was hidden from the /settings dialog.
