[Workspaces/UX] Session list silently filtered when inside workspace context

[jamesmurdza]

Description

Description

When inside a workspace context, the /sessions list is automatically filtered to only show sessions belonging to that workspace. This filtering happens silently with no visual indication, causing users to lose track of sessions they know exist.

While a toggle command exists in the command palette (app.toggle.session_directory_filter), users don't know:

1. That filtering is active
2. That this toggle exists
3. How to find it

Suggested Fixes

Option A: Add visual indicator when filtering is active

In the session list dialog, show something like:

Sessions (filtered to current workspace)  [Press X to show all]

Option B: Add "Show all sessions" option in session list

Location: packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/component/dialog-session-list.tsx

Add an action to the session list dialog:

{
  command: "session.show_all",
  title: "show all",
  onTrigger: () => {
    kv.set("session_directory_filter_enabled", false)
    sync.session.refresh()
  },
}

Option C: Don't filter by default

Change the default from true to false:

if (!kv.get("session_directory_filter_enabled", false)) return { scope: "project" }

Workaround

Open the command palette and search for "session directory filter" to toggle filtering off.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• [FEATURE]: Filter TUI session list by current directory/worktree #9881: Feature request to filter TUI session list by current directory/worktree — describes the same filtering behavior and proposes the same kinds of fixes (visual indicator, toggle)
• [FEATURE]: Add --all flag to /sessions command to view sessions across all projects #17842: Feature request to add --all flag to /sessions to view sessions across all projects — same root problem of sessions being silently filtered by directory
• Regression: /sessions command no longer filters by current working directory #19340: Regression report that /sessions no longer filters by CWD — the flip side of this issue, touching the same session_directory_filter behavior
• session list is showing all sessions not only the ones scopes to the curent dir #8836: Session list showing all sessions instead of only those scoped to the current directory — another report of the same filtering UX confusion
