"Add 'Delete Session' to session list context menu"

Problem Statement

n the VS Code extension sidebar, right-clicking a session in the session list opens the default Electron context menu (Cut / Copy / Paste / Select All). These options operate on text selection, not on the session item itself — there is no way to delete, rename, or manage individual sessions from the UI.

Over time, the session list accumulates stale or one-off conversations that clutter navigation. The only current way to remove a session is via the CLI (claude sessions delete), which requires switching context out of VS Code entirely.

Expected behavior:

Right-clicking a session in the sidebar should open a custom context menu with at least:

Delete Session — removes the session after a confirmation prompt
(Optional) Rename Session — edits the auto-generated session title

Proposed Solution

Replace the default Electron context menu on session list items with a custom context menu that includes session-specific actions.

Minimum viable implementation
Register a custom context menu on session list items in the TreeView/sidebar, suppressing the default Electron Cut/Copy/Paste menu.

Add a "Delete Session" menu item that:

Prompts for confirmation ("Delete session '{title}'? This cannot be undone.")
Calls the same underlying deletion logic as claude sessions delete <id> in the CLI
Refreshes the session list after successful deletion
Nice-to-have additions
"Rename Session" — allows the user to edit the session title inline or via an input box.
"Copy Session ID" — copies the session ID to clipboard (useful for CLI workflows or bug reports).
Implementation notes
VS Code's TreeView API supports menus contributions via package.json under contributes.menus → "view/item/context", so this follows standard extension patterns.
The confirmation dialog should use vscode.window.showWarningMessage with explicit "Delete" / "Cancel" buttons to prevent accidental data loss.
The destructive action ("Delete Session") should appear last or be visually separated, consistent with VS Code UX conventions.
