Description
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Show session retention/expiration date
### Proposed solution
what is the session retention/expiration policy for a copilot session and is it possible to view it from the status line? sometimes sessions get wiped and disappear from my device, how is this managed? ideally TTL would be indefinite, but it'd be nice if i knew a sessions expiration date before it actually expires and gets wiped.
### Example prompts or workflows
Example status line
```
👤 kreber[0ff713fc] | 🤖 claude-sonnet-4.6 · medium | 🌿 main | ✏️ +175 -7 | 📁 .copilot | ⏳ 7 days
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the CLI status-line entry point and the session lifecycle or retention handling. Determine how the expiration policy is represented and whether the session date is available to display. Done means the status line shows a session's retention or expiration date and the behavior is covered for sessions that may be wiped.
