--resume menu regression in 2.1.204: sessions no longer scoped to current directory, search bar removed

Version
Introduced in 2.1.204. Previous behaviour was in 2.1.203.
What changed
The --resume menu has changed significantly in 2.1.204 in a way that makes it harder to use, particularly for anyone working across multiple projects.
Previous behaviour (2.1.203):
- The menu showed only sessions belonging to the current working directory by default.
- Pressing
ctrl+atoggled a view of all sessions across all directories. - A search bar at the top of the menu allowed filtering sessions by title.
- Sessions were ordered clearly (most recent first).
New behaviour (2.1.204):
- All sessions from all directories are shown in a single list with no scoping to the current directory.
- There is no visual indication of which directory each session belongs to, so sessions from unrelated projects appear with no context.
- The search bar has been removed entirely.
- The order appears random, making it difficult to locate the correct session.
Impact
For anyone working across several active projects, the new layout is significantly harder to navigate. The old design made it fast to resume the right session because the list was already scoped and filterable. The new layout requires manually scanning an unsorted, mixed list of sessions from every project.
Request
Please revert to the previous behaviour, or restore equivalent functionality:
- Scope the default list to the current working directory.
- Restore the search/filter bar.
- Show the session's directory path where sessions from other directories are included.
- Apply a consistent sort order (most recent first).
