> 💡 **Made a mistake or want to try a different approach?** Use `/rewind` (or press Esc twice) to open a **timeline picker** that lets you roll back to any earlier point in your conversation, not just the most recent one.

This is useful when you went down the wrong path and want to backtrack without starting over entirely.
