Session status indicator in sidebar (running vs. completed)
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
When running 10+ concurrent sessions, the sidebar shows all sessions
with identical appearance. There is no visual indicator of whether a
session is still running or has already completed. To find a finished
session, I have to click into each one individually — which defeats
the purpose of running parallel sessions.
Proposed Solution
Add a small status dot to each session row in the sidebar:
- Pulsing/animated dot → session is actively running
- Green dot → session completed successfully
- Red dot → session ended with an error
This UI pattern already exists in Claude Code: the "Preview" button
shows a green dot when the server is running. The same concept should
be applied to session list items.
Alternative Solutions
No workaround exists. I manually click through every session to check
its status one by one. There is no filter or indicator to show only
completed sessions.
Priority
Critical - Blocking my work
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
- I launch 10 parallel sessions to work on different parts of a project
- Each session runs for several minutes
- I need to know when a session finishes to review its output
- Without status indicators: I click all 10 sessions one by one
- With status indicators: I see at a glance which are done and jump
directly to them
