PLEASE give us the option to edit any previous message, not just forkconversations.
Don't get me wrong, forking is good, it has its place, but editing is much more common, useful, and fast. I don't really feel like polluting the left pane with random edits I made to the conversation, and I equally don't feel like cleaning up when an edit button would be right there.
It's already supported in pretty much all coding agents.
So at least an additional edit button would be great.
IMO, the best option would be to allow edit, and fork internally, and make the tree available to users (/tree like in Pi, or as a context menu). This is simple and elegant, the most natural UX, keeps the whole tree in a single chat, AND only exposes the complexity (properly) if anybody actually needs it.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Have a couple of back and forth messages. Try to edit an earlier one. You can't.
What is the expected behavior?
Edit message, don't fork, at least not visually.
