Problem Statement
Re-opening #65615 (closed as stale, locked). Still needed.
Sessions are either in agent view or deleted. No middle state for "done for now, will resume later," so named threads I'll return to are buried among hundreds of one-offs in /resume.
Proposed Solution
/archive (and claude archive <id>): hide a session from agent view and the default /resume list; show it in an Archived view; unarchive restores it.
Alternative Solutions
Pinning (keeps processes alive), name prefixes + /resume search.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
3–4 active sessions, ~12 parked long-running threads, hundreds of throwaways.
