#load_links_from_session ⇒ Array<String>

Loads the collection of links from the current session.

end

#rename_session ⇒ Object (private)

Note:

The use of 1.times do and redo ensures a single-retry capability for automatic name derivation.

Prompts the user to rename the current session interactively.

This method manages a sophisticated renaming workflow:

  1. It presents an interactive prompt using ask?.
  2. If the user provides an empty string, it attempts to automatically derive a new name using derive_session_name.
  3. After derivation, it uses redo to re-prompt the user, now pre-filling the prompt with the newly suggested name.
  4. If the user provides an arbitrary string, the session is renamed.
  5. If the user interrupts (e.g., via C-c), the process is cancelled.

#set_previous_session_on_change(previous_session_id) ⇒ Object (private)

Records the previous session ID after a session transition.

Stores the ID in @previous_session_id so that #previous_session can later retrieve it, unless the ID refers to the currently active session (i.e., the user re-selected the same session).

Parameters:

  • previous_session_id (Integer, nil) —

    the ID of the session that was active before the transition; nil if no transition occurred
