Output Continuity vs Scrollback

Scrollback only shows what you saw. Output continuity replays what happened while you were away.

Scrollback is local history. Output continuity replays what happened while you were disconnected.

Why scrollback is not enough

  • it only contains what the client saw,
  • it disappears on refresh,
  • it cannot fill offline gaps.

What continuity adds

  • replay of missed output,
  • reliable debugging timeline,
  • confidence in long-running tasks.
