## Scenario
I accidentally archived a long-running project session that I'd been using as an orchestrator (it had spawned many child sessions via cross-session messages, accumulated significant context across many turns, and had a checkpoint summarizing its state).
When I realized the mistake and tried to resume it, I couldn't find a way to bring the session back. As far as I can tell:
- Archived sessions aren't visible in the normal project session list
- There's no "unarchive" or "restore" action exposed in the UI or via tooling
- The session's state still exists (history, checkpoints, branch, worktree all intact) — it just isn't reachable
The only workaround I found was to create a **new** session and seed its kickoff prompt with a hand-assembled context dump from the previous session's last checkpoint. That works, but:
- It's a clone, not a resume — the new session has a different ID, so any cross-session references from child sessions still point at the dead parent
- It requires me (or an agent) to manually reconstruct context, which is error-prone and loses fidelity
- Any in-flight automations tied to the original session ID are orphaned
## Request
Add a first-class way to **unarchive / restore an archived project session**, ideally:
1. An "Archived" view or filter in the project session list
2. A restore action that brings the session back with the same ID, branch, worktree, and history intact
3. (Optional) Equivalent tooling exposure so agents can recover from accidental archives without the kickoff-prompt workaround
## Why this matters
Archive is a one-click action and easy to hit by mistake. For short-lived sessions the loss is minor, but for long-running orchestrator/parent sessions — the exact ones most valuable to preserve — an accidental archive is currently destructive in practice even though the data is still there.
Beitragsleitfaden
Rechercherichtung
Beginne damit nachzuverfolgen, wie archivierte Sitzungen aus der Sitzungsliste des Projekts ausgeschlossen werden und wie die Archivierungsaktion den Sitzungsstatus persistiert. Definiere den Wiederherstellungspfad anhand des vorhandenen Verlaufs, der Checkpoints, des Branches, des Worktrees und der Sitzungs-ID und prüfe anschließend eine gleichwertige Bereitstellung über die Tools. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn eine archivierte Sitzung gefunden und wiederhergestellt werden kann, ohne sie zu klonen, wobei ihre Identität und ihr Status erhalten bleiben.
