Feature Request: Add ability to rename sessions

[gilbertolaus]

Summary

Currently, OpenCode sessions are automatically named and there is no way to rename them. When working with multiple sessions, it becomes difficult to identify and switch between them using /sessions.

Proposal

Add a /rename command (or similar) that allows users to rename the current session or a specific session.

Example usage

/rename my-aws-migration

Or with a session picker:

/rename
> Select session to rename: [session list]
> New name: my-aws-migration

Motivation

• When working on multiple tasks, sessions accumulate and become hard to distinguish
• A descriptive name makes it much easier to resume the right session via /sessions
• Other tools like tmux, screen, and terminal tabs all support naming/renaming

Alternatives considered

• Starting a new session with /new — loses conversation history
• Using /export to save — doesn't help with session management

Additional context

Discovered while using OpenCode TUI. The /sessions command lists sessions but provides no way to rename them for better organization.

They can already be renamed, simply open the session_list dialogue and you will see a key binding listed at the bottom of the dialogue window to rename the session. Alternately, you can bind a key to the session_rename key command.

Recommend closing as already complete.
