TUI session picker hides older root sessions when recent child sessions fill list #25897
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
The TUI session picker can hide older resumable root sessions in projects with many recent child/subagent sessions.
The TUI bootstrap query currently requests sessions with a 30-day start filter and does not pass roots: true. The dialog then filters roots client-side, so recent child sessions can consume the server-side result window before root filtering happens. The server session list API already supports roots=true, so the TUI can ask for root sessions directly.
Expected behavior: /sessions should list historical root sessions that can be resumed, even when recent child sessions exist.

Observed on current dev source.
Steps to reproduce
- Use a project with historical root sessions and many newer child/subagent sessions.
- Open the OpenCode TUI and open
/sessions. - Notice older root sessions are missing even though they exist in the session database and the session list API supports root filtering.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
roots: true, causing child sessions to fill the server-side result window before client-side root filtering happens. Includes the same proposed fix (roots: truein thesdk.client.session.list()call)./sessionspicker only shows recent sessions, older root sessions are missing./sessionsonly shows sessions from last 30 days due to child session dilution.Please review those issues and consider closing this one as a duplicate if the root cause matches.

I opened #26432 for this.
It avoids the earlier broad-bootstrap side effect by leaving the shared
sync.data.sessionlist unchanged and querying root sessions only inside the session switch dialog. It also avoids the 30-day bootstrap window for the default dialog list, preserves the existing scope/path filter, and includes a focused unit test for the query shape.Verified locally on the current
devbase with:bun test test/cli/tui/dialog-session-list.test.ts test/server/session-list.test.ts test/server/httpapi-sdk.test.ts --timeout 30000bun run typecheckbun run buildAuthorship disclosure: prepared with AI assistance.
