[Bug]: Multiline/multiple commands look a bit awkward in the UI

[rbren]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• [X] I have checked the troubleshooting document at https://opendevin.github.io/OpenDevin/modules/usage/troubleshooting
• [X] I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug

When CodeAct runs multiple commands, like

pwd
ls -lah

or runs a multiline command like

echo "Name,Age,Location
Alice,30,New York
Bob,25,Los Angeles
Charlie,35,Chicago" > sample.csv

The output looks a little funky (screenshot). The multi-command is printed with the second command looking like it's output. The multiline single command shows $PS2 characters repeating the command in the output.

Here's an example:

$ echo "Name,Age,Location
Alice,30,New York
Bob,25,Los Angeles
Charlie,35,Chicago" > sample.csv
> Alice,30,New York
> Bob,25,Los Angeles
> Charlie,35,Chicago" > sample.csv

$ echo 'awk -F"," '\''NR > 1 {print $2}'\'' sample.csv' > extract_field.sh
chmod +x extract_field.sh

https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/pull/1474 might help a bit with this. It at least introduces logic to split commands.

I've been thinking about a change that would allow agents to return a list of actions, instead of one action at a time. That would let us parse the multi-commands into separate RUN actions
