[FEATURE]: command to continue session inference #44921
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Sometimes reasons like:
- user interrupts,
- free limit exhaustion, or
- premature model inference termination (most prevalent)
Cause the session to hang and wait for user input. However, logically there is no additional user interaction necessary (the session was mid-task and simply has not finished)
I think it would be very useful to have a command (/...) that would instruct the model to simply start the inference call again, without having to send another prompt.
/continue and /resume are already taken (aliases for routing to the most recent session), so I propose to either repurpose 1 of them (remove redundancy) (would lean more to /continue), or a new /... command that would fit semantically to this purpose

If we make a decision on what this feature should look like, writing a quick pull request should be easy

I'm noting that /continue is just /sessions as alias, so i propose this would be the chosen command to change

This would be very useful for resuming after hitting the rate limits such as 5 hour usage limit

Thanks for the suggestion, @L42-AI! You're asking for a slash command that restarts the model's run in a session that stopped mid-task (after an interrupt, a usage limit or the model ending early) without having to send a new prompt. You also suggest reusing
/continue, which right now is just an alias of/sessions. Maintainers will consider it.Related issues:
For now, the closest option is a custom command whose template is something like "Continue where you left off". It still sends a message, though, so it isn't quite what you're asking for.
