Research direction
Examine the plugin's session storage logic, likely in `lua/chatgpt/` directory. Identify where the default session path (e.g., `.local/state/nvim`) is set. Add a new configuration option like `session dir` to allow users to specify a custom directory. Update the code to use that option if provided, otherwise fall back to default. Modify the relevant documentation or README to describe the new option. Ensure the custom directory is created if it does not exist.
