sessions: hide changes and workspace pills in quick chat session header - #324764
Merged
Conversation
Quick chat sessions are workspace-less, so the diff-stats (Changes) pill and the workspace folder (Files) pill no longer make sense in their session header. Gate both header meta actions on IsQuickChatSessionContext.negate() so they are hidden for quick chats while remaining visible for workspace-bound sessions.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the Agents window session-header “meta” actions so that quick chat sessions no longer display the Changes (diff-stats) pill or the Files (workspace folder) pill, aligning the UI with the “workspace-less by design” model for quick chats.
Changes:
- Gate the Files header pill behind
SessionHasWorkspaceContext && !IsQuickChatSessionContext. - Gate the Changes header pill behind
SessionHasChangesContext && !IsQuickChatSessionContext.

What
In the Agents window, quick chat sessions no longer show the changes diff-stats pill or the workspace folder pill in the session header.
Why
Quick chats are workspace-less by design, so a workspace folder (Files) pill and a diff-stats (Changes) pill in their header are not meaningful.
How
Both pills are menu actions contributed into
Menus.SessionHeaderMetaand gated bywhenclauses. AddedIsQuickChatSessionContext.negate()to each:ViewAllChangesAction:whenis nowContextKeyExpr.and(SessionHasChangesContext, IsQuickChatSessionContext.negate()).OpenFilesViewAction:whenis nowContextKeyExpr.and(SessionHasWorkspaceContext, IsQuickChatSessionContext.negate()).IsQuickChatSessionContextis already bound per-session (scoped to each session view's context service, sourced from the session'sisQuickChattag), so the pills hide correctly for quick chats even when multiple session views are visible, and remain visible for workspace-bound sessions.Notes for reviewers
