 - **Three-section side panel** - Favorites, Recent, and All projects, each scrolling independently
 - **One-click resume** - click a row to jump back into that session in a terminal; an open terminal for the project is reused instead of duplicated
 - **Launcher tiles** - every enabled assistant has a tile in an "AI Assistants" section of the JupyterLab Launcher (after Other, under the extension's own robot-head icon); a click opens the assistant in the file browser's current folder, resuming the folder's conversation when one exists and starting a new one otherwise, through the companion `jupyterlab_basic_terminal_extension` (installed automatically). Disable an assistant and its tile goes; disable them all and the section goes with them
-- **Your terminal's `claude -c` follows the panel** (Claude) - switching to or launching a conversation makes plain `claude -c` in that project resume that same conversation, including one that has been compacted, which Claude Code otherwise refuses to continue
+- **Your terminal's `claude -c` follows the panel** (Claude) - switching to a conversation makes plain `claude -c` in that project resume that same conversation, including one that has been compacted, which Claude Code otherwise refuses to continue. Launching repairs a compacted conversation the same way, but only switching moves what `claude -c` picks
 - **Conversation switcher** - a right-click "Switch and Manage Sessions" submenu lists a project's other conversations by name and short id with last-activity time; "Manage Sessions..." opens a searchable popup over the full list with multi-select delete and per-row open and copy-id buttons
 - **Branch session** - fork the current conversation into a new named session via the right-click menu; each assistant forks its own way (Claude's native `--fork-session`, Codex's `codex fork`, server-side copies for Kimi and Gemini) behind the same menu item
 - **Launch modes under each assistant's own name** - Claude's skip-permissions, Codex's approval bypass, Kimi's `--yolo`, Gemini's YOLO; unsafe variants carry a shield glyph in the launch menus
