Research direction
Look at the session picker UI code, likely in a component handling remote vs local sessions. The bug is about missing delete option for remote sessions and a blank screen on connect. Start by finding where session deletion is implemented for local sessions, then see why remote sessions lack it. Also check the connection logic for remote sessions to diagnose the blank screen. Run the CLI, navigate to the Sessions tab, and inspect the behavior.
