While the new Desktop v2 layout is beautiful and welcoming for new users, the classic interface—with its side-by-side split panels, visible file trees, and native file referencing—remains an incredibly production-grade, highly efficient setup for daily coding. This feature is designed to elevate this workflow.

Reclaiming and Restoring Archived Contexts

• Archive Recoverability: Archiving shouldn't be a "black hole" where old conversations go to die. Developers often need to reference previous architectural decisions.
• Restoring Power: Adding the /archived browser dialog makes old sessions searchable, browsable, and instantly restorable, turning archiving into a highly usable and functional workspace lifecycle utility.
