Description

agents-window feature-request

When filtering in the session list sidebar, if a folder name matches the filter, the sessions under that folder should also be shown. Currently it just shows the folder header with an empty sessions list.

Use case: The user's mental model is folder-first — when starting work, they know which folder they want to work in and want to see all sessions for that folder.
