Cross-chat context awareness for quick chats

When I start a new chat session, there's no awareness of previous chats. If I discussed something 8 sessions ago, I have to manually search for that specific chat to bring in the context. This is especially painful for heavy quick chat users.

What I'd love: the agent should be able to reference or recall relevant context from prior chat sessions without me needing to find and re-open them. Not full history replay, just enough awareness that I'm not starting from zero every time.

Right now the workaround is keeping one mega-chat that never ends, which doesn't scale and defeats the purpose of quick chats. Another workaround is manually storing things in the built-in sqlite db, but that's fragile and could get wiped on an update.

This would make the app feel like it actually knows me over time, not just within a single session.

The request concerns the /chat path, but no implementation files, tests, or specific entry points are identified. Start by locating quick-chat session and history handling, then define how relevant prior context should be selected and verified in a new session without manually reopening an earlier chat.
