Previously the approval modal rendered as a full-screen takeover
card that hid the transcript behind it, so users had to dismiss the
prompt — losing the decision context — just to re-read the tool
call they were being asked to approve. The new collapsed mode flips
the modal to a single-line banner pinned at the bottom of the area
("<tool> — <risk badge> [Tab to expand]"), so the conversation
stays visible while the decision is pending. Tab toggles between
the two modes; the selected option, pending-confirm state, and
risk colour scheme are preserved across the toggle.
Test pin: a fresh `ApprovalView` starts expanded, the first Tab
collapses, the second Tab restores — and both return `ViewAction::None`
so no decision side effect leaks out of the toggle.

Note for the maintainer: PR #1455 also includes a Chinese-language
preamble to `prompts/base.md` that biases reasoning_content toward
Chinese on Chinese-language turns. That change touches the system
prompt and is left for a separate sign-off — see
.private/handoffs/v0.8.32-1455-prompt-preamble.md for the diff and
the suggested call.
