## Why The resume/fork picker is becoming the main way users recover previous work, but the old fixed table made sessions hard to scan once thread names, branches, working directories, and timestamps all mattered. This redesign makes the picker denser by default, easier to search, and safer to inspect before resuming or forking. <table> <tr> <td> <img width="1660" height="1103" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 34 10" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/313ede1d-1da4-4863-acd2-56b3e27e9703" /> </td> <td> <img width="1662" height="1100" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 34 15" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cfde7d5c-bab0-4994-a807-254e53f344ea" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img width="1664" height="1107" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 39 22" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e1ee58ca-4dc5-4a35-ae0f-47562da3974c" /> </td> <td> <img width="1662" height="1100" alt="CleanShot 2026-05-03 at 12 35 09" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9c888072-eedf-4f45-985c-0c14df28bcc7" /> </td> </tr> </table> ## What Changed - Replaces the old session table with responsive session rows that prioritize the session name or preview, then show timestamp, cwd, and branch metadata. - Makes dense view the default while keeping comfortable view available through `Ctrl+O`. - Persists the picker view preference in `[tui].session_picker_view`, including active profile-scoped config. - Adds sort/filter controls for updated time, created time, cwd, and all sessions. - Expands search matching across session name, preview, thread id, branch, and cwd. - Makes `Esc` safer in search mode: it clears an active query before starting a new session. - Adds lazy transcript inspection: - `Space` expands recent transcript context inline. - `Ctrl+T` opens a transcript overlay. - raw reasoning visibility follows `show_raw_agent_reasoning`. - Keeps remote cwd filtering server-side for remote app-server sessions so local path normalization does not incorrectly hide remote results. - Updates snapshots and config schema for the new picker states and config option. ## How to Test 1. Start Codex in a repo with several saved sessions. 2. Press `Ctrl+R` / resume picker entry point. 3. Confirm the picker opens in dense mode and shows session name or preview, timestamp, cwd, and branch metadata. 4. Press `Ctrl+O` and confirm it switches between dense and comfortable views. 5. Restart Codex and confirm the selected view persists. 6. Type a query that matches a branch, cwd, thread id, or session name; confirm matching sessions appear. 7. Press `Esc` while the query is non-empty and confirm it clears search instead of starting a new session. 8. Select a session and press `Space`; confirm recent transcript context expands inline. 9. Press `Ctrl+T`; confirm the transcript overlay opens and respects raw-reasoning visibility settings.
