How would you want last session and selected agent/model/mode to be persisted?

[RomneyDa]

@ferenci84 opened #7617 which adds per-tab selected mode/model persistence. I think per-session would be a great improvement. PR was closed only because implementation was tabs-only and would conflict with a per-session implementation which I think is worthwhile. I wanted to get a feel for other people's thoughts on how they'd want model, mode, and agent selection to work between sessions, windows, workspaces, accounts, orgs, and IDEs.

I generally agree with @ferenci84 that both selected model and mode should be persisted per session, across workspaces/IDEs/accounts etc if available, mostly because the chat history is especially model/mode dependent. Also available models are highly agent-dependent, so a per-agent fallback (the current only persistence) makes sense. i.e.

• model per session, fallbacks to per profile, first in list, etc.
• mode per session, fallbacks to last selected mode and default (Agent)

I also think on startup it should only load the last session from that workspace if present. Could see situations where people want sessions spanning workspaces but that seems like the exception.

Would love to hear other people's takes on this.
