V2 TUI: add fast session overview and pinned session shortcuts #36193
Description
Problem
Session switching is still too slow/heavy for users living across many V2 sessions. Claude's left-to-overview affordance is worth copying in spirit: fast access matters more than copying its exact UI.
Scope
- Explore
Leftas a fast session overview/switcher entry point. - Explore pinned sessions with
Ctrl-1/2/3/...where terminal input makes that viable. - Prefer chordable, low-latency navigation over a large new tab surface.
- Keep compatibility with users who prefer multiple terminal tabs.

The "fast access matters more than the exact UI" framing resonates — that's the bet behind oos: a keyboard-driven session switcher with no large UI surface at all. It preloads all sessions from SQLite and filters in memory on every keystroke (<1ms), so switching is type → Up/Down → Enter, across all projects at once.

No pinned shortcuts (Ctrl-1/2/3 is an interesting idea though) — but for the "jump back to a session in under 2 seconds" goal, a fuzzy picker over everything beats browsing per-project lists.
