Document the compact sessions list

[ntrogh]

Product change

• Source: sessions: add compact sessions list view vscode#336169
• Merged: 2026-09-14T16:42:49Z

The Sessions list in the Agents Window has a profile-persisted Compact View toggle. Compact rows show only the title at rest and reveal workspace context on hover or keyboard focus while preserving full accessible labels.

Why the docs need an update

docs/agents/run/sessions/manage-sessions.md explains how to organize the sessions list but does not describe its compact presentation mode.

Suggested documentation

• docs/agents/run/sessions/manage-sessions.md: Add the Compact View control, persistence, and information shown in compact rows.

Acceptance criteria

• The sessions-list documentation explains how to enable and disable Compact View.
• The compact row and workspace-context behavior are accurate.
