Shows all sessions in a flat list with folder, last message, and metadata.

- Project path, latest message, session count, total messages, model used
- Select a project → drill-down to individual sessions
- Esc in drill-down returns to project list
Navigation
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ↑ / ↓ | Navigate |
| Enter | Select session (flat) / Drill down (projects) |
| Type text | Filter by project, message, model |
| Backspace | Clear filter |
| Home / End | Jump to first/last |

Auto-naming
The extension automatically names each session from the first user message, truncated to 60 characters.
Each session entry shows:
- 📁 Folder - Project directory path
- 💬 Last message - Last user message content (truncated)
- 📊 Metadata - Relative date, message count, model, provider
Project overview (/projects)
Groups sessions by project directory. Each project shows:
- 📁 Project path - Project directory
- 💬 Latest message - Last user message from the most recent session
- 📊 Aggregated metadata - Session count, total messages, latest model
Select a project to drill down into its individual sessions.
How it works
- Opens a centered loading modal immediately
- Scans
~/.pi/agent/sessions/asynchronously with bounded concurrency - Parses each session to extract message previews, counts, model and provider
- Reuses the same modal for search and selection
- On selection, uses
ctx.switchSession()to load the session
