If you would like to implement some of those, the source is in the
web/src directory of the zuul repo.  Local development against the
production OpenDev data is easy, and this information may help you get
started:

  https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/developer/javascript.html

B seems straightforward.  D is probably best achieved not by shortening
the URL, but by displaying the filename on the page and/or in the page
title.

A and C are matters of personal preference.  You may want to discuss
those with the upstream Zuul community on the
zuul-discuss at lists.zuul-ci.org mailing list.
