Research direction

Start by reviewing how the macOS app currently lists local sessions and how GitHub.com exposes cloud agent sessions. Define the session fields requested in the issue—logs, repository, branch or PR, and status—along with the read-only history and optional search/filter behavior. Done means cloud and local sessions appear together with usable links and status information.

Description

Feature request: please show GitHub cloud agent sessions in the Copilot macOS app, not just local app sessions.

Right now there’s a split between sessions visible in the macOS app and sessions visible on GitHub.com, which makes it harder to track work across environments. I’d like a unified session history in the macOS app that includes cloud agent runs, with links to logs, repo, branch/PR, and status.

Even read-only visibility would help a lot. Bonus if the app could support search/filtering across local and cloud sessions in one place.
