Description

I would love to see a non idle sessions group on the main navigation left panel. This sholud be filterable same way as sessions but should noly show awaiting input / recently idle / finished sessions / WIP. this could also be a preset for or filterable thing for the normal sessions section. I guess the main goal I want to express here, I need a way to see my interesting and point of interest sessions somehow without needding to scroll through my 20 projects until i find a session that is currently WIP or waiting for input. like make it usable, i dont want to always move arround repos or want to archive everything always. Give us a way to sort or split or properly filter sessions. Like this is one of the main resopnsibilities now and in the future for this product: "How do we enable many many paralel agents to be managed effectivly" and this is clearly not solved, here. Anyhow love to use the app, even as deeply technical persion i find this the perfect harness for deeply diving into sub-sub agents etc.

Other things to optimize for the tech heavy analysis tasks:
Provide a way to show session data folder similar to file canvas.
Provide all path based tool renderings with the option to copy the path or open in vscode / insiders...

Like make it even more usable in the real real world scenarios i would love to adopt this fully.

Research direction

Start at the /chat entry point and review how the main navigation lists and filters sessions across repositories. Define the scope before implementation: the requested non-idle group, session states, and optional path and VS Code actions are separate ideas; done should include an agreed filtering or grouping behavior that makes active sessions discoverable without scrolling.
