[FEATURE]: Group desktop sessions by state (needs input / working / ready for review) #53851
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
With several sessions going in the desktop app, I can't tell at a glance which ones are waiting on a permission prompt or a question, which are still working, and which finished while I was looking elsewhere. Home groups by date and project only.
Proposal: a sessions view grouped by state: Needs input, Working, Ready for review (a turn finished after I last viewed it), then the rest. Filters for active/archived, projects and last activity, and an option to group by project instead.
The client already has everything this needs: pending permissions and forms, session status, and time.idle / time.viewed from the viewed-state migration. Nothing calls session.view yet, so the prototype marks a session viewed when it is routed.
I built a prototype as a GUI extension to check it fits: https://github.com/mv2a/opencode/tree/sessions-by-state. Besides new files under gui-extensions/src/sessions/, it needs two small generic SDK additions: Servers.get(id) and Sessions.open({ server, id }). Right now it is a titlebar pill (showing how many sessions need input) that opens a dialog; a left sidebar slot would probably be nicer if you'd accept one.
Happy to open a PR against v2 if the direction is OK, or change it to fit how you want it.

Thanks for the detailed proposal and for building a prototype first. Your request: a desktop sessions view that groups sessions by state (Needs input, Working, Ready for review, then the rest), with active/archived, project and last-activity filters and an option to group by project instead. Maintainers will consider it.
I checked the extension SDK. Your two additions (
Servers.get(id)andSessions.open({ server, id })) match real gaps:Sessionsonly lists sessions open in tabs right now, and nothing in the app callssession.viewyet, sotime.viewednever gets updated. Please wait for a maintainer to OK the direction before you put time into a PR.Related issues and PRs, closest first:

Screenshots of the prototype (dev build of v2.0.24, demo sessions in two projects, filtered to those two).
Grouped by state:
Grouped by project, with each row's state:
It opens from a titlebar pill (shows "N need input" on hover) or
mod+shift+j. Opening a session from here, or anywhere in the app, marks its latest turn viewed, so it leaves "Ready for review".Saw #48526 too. Happy to fit this into whichever placement you prefer, e.g. reuse the grouping logic in a sidebar.
