Description

agents-window feature-request

The workspace picker has no search or filter capability. Users with many repos — especially when frequently bouncing between projects — find that some workspaces no longer appear in the list at all, requiring a fallback to the full OS-level file explorer flow.

Ask: Add a search/filter bar to the workspace picker so users can quickly narrow down to the workspace they want.
