Pull request overview
Adds a local, localStorage-backed session history drawer to Wingman’s built-in “default chat UI” (the HTML/CSS/JS page served when no custom frontend is provided), enabling users to persist and restore conversations across reloads.
Changes:
- Introduces a collapsible “Chat History” sidebar + overlay, with “New chat” and per-session delete controls.
- Persists sessions (messages + server
sessionId) intolocalStoragewith a max session cap and recency ordering. - Restores a prior session by re-rendering saved messages (assistant messages via the existing markdown-lite renderer) and reusing the stored
sessionId.

Add localStorage-backed conversation history as a persistent left sidebar in the built-in chat interface (like ChatGPT/Claude). Sessions auto-save after each message exchange and persist across page reloads. Features: - Always-visible left sidebar (260px) showing conversation history - Auto-save with title derived from first user message - Click to restore past conversations with full message history - New Chat button to start fresh sessions - Delete individual sessions with hover-reveal x button - Max 50 sessions with oldest evicted - Responsive: collapses to top panel on mobile (<640px) Closes #39 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

- Fix XSS: replace innerHTML string concat with DOM APIs in renderSessionList() - Fix accessibility: add pointer-events:none + :focus-visible on delete buttons - Fix bug: wrap saveCurrentSession() in try/catch in finally block - Harden localStorage: add Array.isArray check in loadSessions(), try/catch in saveSessions() - Add type=button to new-chat-btn to prevent accidental form submission - Remove redundant renderSessionList() call (startNewChat already calls it) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
