[FEATURE]: Add a persistent left sidebar layout option to the new UI #48956
I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
What I want to change
The new layout removed the persistent left sidebar that showed projects -> workspaces -> sessions. Please keep a layout with an always-visible left sidebar available as an option -- a legacy / classic toggle or a config flag is enough. It does not have to be the default.
If the old layout can't be maintained long-term, then at minimum please restore an equivalent overview inside the new layout: a sidebar that can be pinned open, grouping sessions by project/workspace, with full (non-truncated) session titles instead of only top tabs.
Why this matters
I normally keep many sessions open across several projects at the same time. The sidebar gave me:
a one-glance view of which project and workspace each session belongs to;
one-click context switching without leaving the current session;
a scannable vertical list where session titles stayed readable.
With the current design the session list is flattened into tabs, titles get truncated, and switching context takes extra clicks or a keyboard shortcut through a single-conversation panel. For anyone running parallel sessions this is a real drop in productivity, not just a cosmetic preference.
