+# Story 218: Hide thinking traces from Agents panel
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user, I don't want to see Claude's internal thinking traces in the Agents panel, so that the panel only shows actionable output.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] AgentPanel does not render thinking traces (ThinkingBlock component removed or thinking events ignored)
+- [ ] Agent output log only shows regular text output, status changes, and errors
+- [ ] No regression in agent output streaming (text_delta events still display correctly)
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
