Problem Statement

Feedback — Folder/workspace picker (Claude Code, macOS)
When starting a New session, switching the project means clicking the folder chip in the composer's bottom button row. The picker opens a long scrollable list of recent folders with no visible "Open folder / Browse" button at the top — you must scroll to find a way to pick a different directory. This is not discoverable at first glance; it took me a long time to figure out how to point a session at a different folder, and I'd hit it before.
Suggested fix: put an "Open folder…" action pinned at the top of the folder list, always visible, so users immediately see where to choose a directory that isn't in the recent list.
