Yep, this is what we landed now, more or less: verbose mode is just file paths, then ctrl+o gives you thinking, agent output, and hook output.

Have you considered picking a new name for a different concept?
Or have ctrl+o cycle between "Info, Verbose, Trace"?
Or give us full control over what gets logged through config?
Ideally we would get a new tab where we could pick logging levels on:
- Thoughts
- Files read / written
- Bashes
- Subagents
etc.
