[FEATURE] Desktop: show last-activity time and status dot in ⌘K Recents, like the Sessions (View all) page
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I keep many Code-tab sessions running in parallel across several projects. The Sessions page (project ⋯ → View all) is the best overview the desktop app has: every row shows a status dot (running / needs attention / idle), the project or folder, and a relative last-activity time ("Just now", "2 minutes ago").
But that page is several clicks deep and has no keyboard shortcut. The fast path, ⌘K → Recents, already lists the same sessions in the same order, yet each row shows only the title. So when I hit ⌘K to jump somewhere, I can't tell which sessions are still working, which finished, or which are waiting on me. I either open them one by one or go back to clicking through to View all.
Proposed Solution
Reuse the row metadata the Sessions page already renders in the ⌘K Recents list (and the Sessions filter tab of the palette):
- the status dot on the right of each row
- the relative last-activity time ("2 minutes ago")
- optionally the project/folder name in muted text
Nothing new needs to be computed; the data and the visual style already exist on the Sessions page.
Alternative Solutions
- **Click through to View all each time.** Works, but it is several clicks and there is no shortcut for it (it is not in the ⌘/ shortcut list or the menu bar, so it can't be bound via macOS App Shortcuts either).
- A shortcut that opens the Sessions page directly would also help, but surfacing the info in ⌘K fits the existing keyboard-first flow better.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example
- I have 6–8 sessions running across projects (research, audio tooling, a web app).
- I press ⌘K to jump to the one that just finished.
- With this feature I see at a glance: two dots are still running, one says "Just now" and needs input, the rest are idle from an hour ago, and I jump straight there.
- Today I either guess from titles or leave the palette to open the Sessions page.
Additional Context
Related (none cover ⌘K specifically):
- #70372: display start date and last-active timestamp for sessions (closed, not planned)
- #94790: exact dates in the Code tab sidebar, not just Today/Yesterday/Older
- #97858: agents view, show when each session last worked
- #99134: keep running sessions visible in the sidebar's project groups
1. Sessions page (View all): status dot, folder and relative time on every row.
2. ⌘K Recents: the same sessions in the same order, titles only.
