[General] Durable visual for sessions that are pending a reply despite being "seen"?

Durable visual for sessions that are pending a reply despite being "seen"? I have several sessions where the AI has asked a question in prose and they are waiting for my input. I get a visual when this is "unread" but if I click away to deal with another session breifly, the session that is waiting visually reverts to standard view and doesn't show that there is pending work or w/e in that session and it's waiting for my further input / continuation. The sessions that are waiting in the ask tool show a yellow prompt icon thing that its awaiting my input, but I explicitely disallow the AI to use this tool because it sucks and the free-form response option it gives is a terrible text editing view compare to just replying in generic prose after the message to address mutliple points at once or add further context that isn't directly tied to a specific invidiaul question in the ask tool (and thats even more annoying when its multiple questions in the ask tool).

Start at the /chat session list and trace how the existing unread state and ask-tool yellow prompt icon are rendered. Define a persistent visual for prose responses awaiting user input, then verify it remains visible after switching sessions and is distinct from the unread state.
