Align recent sessions UX with ChatGPT-style navigation and fix archive/worktree labeling #78
Description
Summary
Improve session/worktree navigation so the recent sessions experience is closer to ChatGPT-style history and clearer at scale.
Requested changes
- Make the recent sessions panel behave more like ChatGPT history UX.
- Fix archiving from the recent sessions panel so archived sessions disappear immediately and do not remain visible in recent sessions.
- Show a clear prefix before each recent session title so it is obvious which project/folder/worktree the session belongs to.
- When creating a new worktree, prefix its generated name with the root project folder name and append a numeric timestamp in
YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mmformat instead of using a random adjective/noun name.
Acceptance criteria
- Recent sessions are grouped and rendered in a clearer history-oriented UI.
- Archiving a session from recent sessions removes it from the list without needing a reload.
- Recent sessions show project/worktree context before the session title.
- New worktree names follow the
<project>-<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm>format and remain unique. - Relevant tests are added or updated and pass.
Status
- In progress

Implemented and verified.
What landed:
<project-folder>-<YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm>with numeric suffixes for collisions, and the app displays the generated worktree name instead of the internalopencode/...branch ref.Verification:

UX enhancement request. Current sidebar implements grouped-by-time session history (Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days), collapsible sections with chevrons, and worktree labels. The core ChatGPT-style UX pattern is present. Further polish is a design decision, not a bug.
