**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

When creating new session it does not let me open terminal without sending message or starting a conversation with the agent. There are workflows that I need to check the project via terminal first before initiating the session with agent. Please add that option along with open VS Code or any editor without starting the session first before you can access those tools.

Research direction

Start by reproducing session creation on Windows 10 using the reported 1.0.2 workflow, then trace the session and tool-access entry points. Done means a new session can open a terminal, VS Code, or another editor before sending a message or starting an agent conversation, without disrupting the existing flow.
