Session history lost.

Type: Bug

After restarting Visual Studio Code, the previous chat session windows cannot be found — all windows are hidden. Their locations can only be retrieved through AI, but they cannot be restored. We hope you can optimize this:

Add a history session list near the current session
Provide a setting to recover lost sessions
Enhance session stability
