Chat Panel
Layout
- Header: collapse session list (☰), new chat, plugin manager.
- Session list: title + message count, selected row highlighted; hover for export/delete.
- Messages: each exchange is a turn (user message + tool cards + reply) with a "Copy this exchange" button; code blocks keep their own copy button.
- Toolbar: agent picker, model picker (upward menus), "Current note only" toggle.
- Footer: auto-growing input (Enter to send / Shift+Enter for newline), send/stop button.
Highlights
- Streaming can be disabled in Settings → Interface.
- Markdown rendering uses the official renderer; can be switched to plain text.
- Phase bar shows thinking / tool / waiting-for-approval states.
- Retry: failed turns persist an error message with a Retry button.
- Stop: the send button becomes Stop during generation.
Sessions
- Sessions persist to
.obsidian/harness-like/sessions/*.jsonland survive restarts. - Export directory: Settings → Sessions (default: a

Export & backup
- Export as Markdown: hover the session in the list and click "⤓" — exports that session as a Markdown note;
- Export directory: Settings → Sessions → "Export directory" (default: a
sessions/folder at the vault root; empty = root); - Full backup: session logs live in
.obsidian/harness-like/sessions/— copy that folder to migrate with your vault.
