Restore agent sessions by dragging the session row

[brennanb2025]

Summary

• Make AI Vault session rows draggable so dragging from the visible session text starts the restore drag instead of selecting text.
• Keep the existing grip handle as the explicit affordance.
• Guard nested action controls so dragging from resume/more/jump/toggle buttons does not inherit the row restore drag.

Review

• Two quick independent review passes ran.
• Finding fixed: nested action buttons could inherit the row drag; added data-ai-vault-session-actions/data-ai-vault-session-drag-handle guard.
• Follow-up finding fixed: SVG icon targets needed Element rather than HTMLElement for closest() checks.

Validation

• pnpm exec oxlint src/renderer/src/components/right-sidebar/AiVaultSessionRow.tsx src/renderer/src/components/right-sidebar/SessionRowTrailingActions.tsx
• pnpm run typecheck:web
• pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts src/renderer/src/lib/ai-vault-session-drag.test.ts src/renderer/src/lib/launch-ai-vault-session.test.ts
• Electron smoke on this worktree via CDP:
  • verified attached app identity matched this branch
  • dragging visible AI Vault session row text produced application/x-orca-ai-vault-session, showed the drop overlay, dropped onto the pane, and queued a new tab
  • dragging from the resume action produced no session drag payload, no overlay, and no extra tab

Notes

• Scratch screenshot and temporary transcript fixture were removed before commit.
• SSH/non-local behavior is unchanged: this only changes the renderer drag source before existing drop target checks run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The session row drag handling now spans both the row and trailing actions UI. The trailing actions component removes drag-handle wiring and adds a DOM marker for the actions container. The row component now uses an HTMLElement drag event, filters drag starts based on that marker, makes the row draggable when resume is enabled, wires drag start, and dispatches a drag-end event on drag end.
