Description

It is currently difficult (or not obvious) to quickly find a specific repository or chat among a large number of entries. A dynamic search/filter capability would significantly improve usability, allowing users to instantly narrow down repositories and conversations as they type.

There is no easy way to get a consolidated view of all sessions that require attention. While blue indicators help identify unread activity, manually scanning through 100+ sessions is inefficient. It would be helpful to have a dedicated filter or "Needs Attention" view that automatically surfaces conversations with pending actions, unread updates, or responses awaiting review.

Research direction

Start at the /chat experience and inspect how repositories and conversations are currently listed, including the blue unread indicators. Define the search/filter behavior and the criteria for a consolidated Needs Attention view; done means users can narrow entries while typing and reliably surface sessions with pending actions, unread updates, or responses awaiting review.
