What
Represent the unsaved
/newscreen as a selected, temporaryNew sessiontab.Closing that tab now restores the previously active session from selection history. If the user submits a prompt instead, the temporary tab disappears as the created session takes its place in the strip.
Before / After
Before
First taskwithSecond taskalso open.leader+n; the TUI moves to Home, but no tab represents that screen.leader+w; because Home has no active tab, Close selects the last tab in strip order (Second task) rather than the previously active tab (First task).After
How
New sessiondisplay tab whenever the active route is Home.Scope
This changes only the TUI session tab strip. It does not create a durable session before prompt submission or expose a synthetic session ID through the plugin API.
Testing
