[FEATURE]: Show which server a session tab belongs to #51344

Open

Description

@schjonhaug

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

I use the desktop app with two servers: my laptop and a Mac mini. Both have some of the same projects (e.g. web-app). Once sessions are open as tabs, nothing tells me which server a tab is running on. I have to open it and check the project list.

Proposal: when more than one server is configured, show a small label with the server name on each session tab. With a single server nothing changes.

Before After

The label takes some width from the tab title, so an icon or tooltip could work too. Happy to adjust to whatever design you prefer.

Related: #21435 (similar request for local vs. remote, closed as stale).

    Related, but not quite the same: #21435 was about opencode attach in the terminal and was closed as stale without a decision. This one is about session tabs in the desktop/web app when several servers are added, and there's a small draft implementation in #51345.

    Thanks for the detailed request and the mockups, @schjonhaug!

    To restate it: when more than one server is configured in the app, each session tab would show which server it belongs to (a small label, icon or tooltip), so sessions for the same project on different machines can be told apart. With a single server, nothing would change.
