Description

I'd like to rename sessions. Vibe coded a diff. Someone wants to review ?

Session Rename Feature - Implementation Analysis

Current State Analysis

Session Structure (internal/session/session.go):

Sessions have a Title field (line 18)
There's already a Save() method (line 113) that updates titles
The database already supports updating session titles

Session Display (internal/tui/components/chat/sidebar/sidebar.go):

Session title is displayed in the sidebar (lines 138, 140)
Title is editable in the UI

Session Management (internal/tui/components/dialogs/sessions/sessions.go):

There's a sessions dialog for switching between sessions
Current key bindings: Ctrl+S opens Commands dialog → "Switch Session"

What Would Need to be Implemented for Session Rename

1. Session Rename Functionality:

A Rename(ctx context.Context, id, newTitle string) error method in the session.Service interface
Implementation that calls session.Save() with new title

2. UI Extensions:

New key binding in Sessions dialog (e.g., F2 or Ctrl+R for Rename)
Rename input dialog when rename key is pressed
Inline-edit functionality in Sessions list

3. Extended Key Bindings (internal/tui/components/dialogs/sessions/keys.go):

type KeyMap struct {
    Select,
    Next,
    Previous,
    Rename  // Add new
    Close key.Binding
}

4. Rename Handler in Sessions Dialog:

Input field for new title
Validation of new title
Call session rename functionality
UI updates after successful rename

5. Integration with Session Service:

func (s *sessionDialogCmp) renameSelectedSession() error {
    selected := s.sessionsList.SelectedItem()
    if selected != nil {
        session := selected.Value()
        newTitle := /* Input dialog for new title */
        return s.sessionService.Rename(ctx, session.ID, newTitle)
    }
    return nil
}

Implementation Diff Summary

# Session Service Interface Extension
+ Rename(ctx context.Context, id, newTitle string) error

# Sessions KeyMap Extension  
+Rename key.Binding (F2/Ctrl+R)

# Session Dialog Component
+ renameInput *textinput.Model
+ handleRenameKeyPress() tea.Cmd
+ handleRenameSubmit(msg RenameSessionMsg) tea.Cmd
+ renderRenameInput() string

# New Messages
+ type RenameSessionMsg struct { NewTitle string }

# Dependencies
+ "charm.land/bubbles/v2/textinput"

Technical Implementation

The existing infrastructure already supports session updates through:

session.Save() method
Pub/Sub events for session updates
Database updates via db.UpdateSession()

So only a relatively small extension for rename functionality needs to be implemented, since the foundation is already in place.

Required Components Summary:

New Method: Rename(ctx context.Context, id, newTitle string) in Session Service
New Key Binding: F2/Ctrl+R for Rename
Rename Input UI: Text input component for new title
Rename Handler: Logic to rename and refresh UI
Session Service Access: Access to Session Service in dialog
UI State Management: Distinction between Rename mode and normal mode

The implementation would leverage the existing session infrastructure (Save, Update, Pub/Sub) and only extend the UI interaction with rename functionality.

I think we should probally aim for a session managment system that lets us do thing like:

rename
delete
duplicate

Sounds good. Here a new diff:

5. Integration Summary

# Complete Session Management Features:
+ Rename (F2): Rename selected session
+ Ctrl+D: Duplicate selected session  
+ Delete: Delete selected session with confirmation
+ Enter: Confirm action (save rename, confirm delete)

# New State Management:
+ actionInput: Text input for rename operations
+ showConfirmDelete: Confirmation dialog state
+ pendingAction: Current action type (rename/none)

# New UI Components:
+ Action input rendering
+ Delete confirmation dialog
+ Action-specific key handling

# Error Handling:
+ Operation validation (empty titles, failed operations)
+ State cleanup on operation completion
+ Graceful error handling for all CRUD operations

# Session Service Integration:
+ All operations use existing session service
+ Leverage existing pub/sub infrastructure
+ Automatic UI refresh after operations

UX Flow Examples

Rename Flow:

User selects session
Presses F2
Input field appears with current title
User edits title and presses Enter
Session is renamed and list refreshes

Delete Flow:

User selects session
Presses Delete key
Confirmation dialog appears
User presses Enter to confirm
Session is deleted and list refreshes

Duplicate Flow:

User selects session
Presses Ctrl+D
New session "Copy of [original]" is created
List refreshes showing new session

Technical Benefits

Complete CRUD: Full session lifecycle management
Consistent UX: Standard keyboard shortcuts and confirmation patterns
Data Safety: Delete confirmation prevents accidental data loss
User Productivity: Quick session organization and management
Leverage Existing: Builds on proven session infrastructure
Real-time Updates: Pub/Sub integration keeps UI synchronized

This implementation provides a comprehensive session management system while maintaining consistency with Crush's existing patterns and leveraging the robust session infrastructure already in place.
