  * Session observer overlay component.
  *
  * Picker mode: lists main + active subagent sessions with live status.
- * Viewer mode: renders a read-only transcript of the selected subagent's session
- *   by reading its JSONL session file — shows thinking, text, tool calls, results.
+ * Viewer mode: renders a scrollable, interactive transcript of the selected subagent's session
+ *   by reading its JSONL session file — shows thinking, text, tool calls, results
+ *   with expand/collapse per entry and breadcrumb navigation for nested sub-agents.
  *
  * Lifecycle:
  *   - shortcut opens picker
  *   - Enter on a subagent -> viewer
- *   - shortcut while in viewer -> back to picker
- *   - Esc from viewer -> back to picker
+ *   - shortcut while in viewer -> back to picker (or pop breadcrumb)
+ *   - Esc from viewer -> back to picker (or pop breadcrumb)
  *   - Esc from picker -> close overlay
