Restore text-file tabs for a folder set or named workspace when the user opts in. Refs #97 and #664.

Enable Restore workspace tabs under Settings > General > Startup (editor.restoreTabs, default false). ttt saves file paths, pins, the active tab, cursors, and scrolling on exit and before changing workspaces. Explicit file arguments take precedence at startup. Files reopen from disk; unsaved contents, undo history, terminals, and plugin tabs are excluded.

State is kept outside the project in per-workspace files under the config directory's sessions/. Writes use a temporary file and rename. History is capped at 32 workspaces, 128 tabs per workspace (retaining the active file), and 1 MiB per file. Sessions older than 30 days are pruned; missing/non-regular files are skipped and removed from restored snapshots.

Session: Clear Saved Tabs removes saved sessions without closing files and pauses saving for the current run, so quitting does not immediately recreate them.

This PR targets main independently of split-editor PR #1481. It collects tabs through the existing widget container interface, so both features compose without a branch dependency. Reopening restores the file list into one group; split layouts are not persisted.

Validation: make test, make lint (0 issues), make build; deterministic tests cover settings round-trip, opt-in/disabled behavior, explicit arguments, isolation, positions/pins, missing files, bounded history, invalid/oversized data, and clear without recreation. A real-binary restart restored two files opened in the previous run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an optional Restore Tabs setting, off by default. When enabled, tabs are saved separately for each workspace and restored when reopening it without specifying files. Restored tabs retain their active state, pin status, cursor position, and scroll position.
    • Added an option to clear saved tab sessions. Clearing sessions leaves open tabs unchanged and prevents them from being saved again on exit.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the editor guide and settings reference with information about tab restoration, saved sessions, and clearing saved tabs.

Walkthrough

The editor can optionally save eligible tab state by workspace and restore it at startup. The change adds bounded session storage, settings controls, lifecycle hooks, a command to clear sessions, tests, and documentation.

Changes: Workspace Tab Sessions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session data and settings
config/settings.json, internal/config/..., internal/app/settings_view.go, docs-web/src/content/docs/reference/settings.md
Adds the restoreTabs setting and tab-state data. Session files are bounded, stored by workspace key, and pruned or cleared under defined limits. The settings interface and reference describe the option.
Capture and restore workspace tabs
internal/ui/editor_group_session.go, internal/app/..., internal/i18n/en.json, internal/app/editor_session_test.go, docs-web/src/content/docs/guides/editor.md
The app captures eligible editor tabs and restores their cursor, viewport, pin, and active state when startup conditions allow. Workspace changes and exit trigger persistence. The session.clear command clears stored sessions. Tests and documentation cover the behavior and limits.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 1f9e0

Tab restoration is opt-in and defaults to off. Session storage is bounded and uses atomic writes, and clearing sessions is covered by tests. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains from this review.

Editor, diff, and log benchmarks

Comparing f61d7d9bbc61 with 1f9e0e1ed984 on the same runner: fastest of 3 alternating passes at 5x each, -short (2,000-line large file).

Allocated bytes measure total allocation per operation, not peak or retained RAM.

Logs are opened by each side's built ttt binary, 1x per pass, timed from launch until the first frame shows the log; _wrap rows start with word wrap on, and _edit opens a log committed to git, types a character, and moves down 20 lines. Time includes process startup, so the 1 MiB case is mostly startup; peak RSS is the process's maximum resident memory. The 1, 128, and 256 MiB fixtures are generated once outside timing and shared across both checkouts, so reads may use the OS file cache.

Code files open a 64 MiB Go file, this repository's sources repeated, with LSP and the git gutter off; _type also types 20 characters and _enter presses Enter 10 times before quitting.

Timing changes are informational because shared CI runners are noisy; a benchmark error still fails the job.

Isolation checks use a default tab count that can hide a leak.

The disabled and other-workspace assertions check only ActiveFilePath() != first (and TabCount() != 1 for the disabled case). The other-workspace case does not assert TabCount(). A leak that restores second but leaves another tab active would pass. Assert TabCount() == 1 for the other workspace too.

Based on the retrieved learning that isolation tests must verify the second instance's state, not only a default state.

Proposed fix

-	if other := sessionTestApp(t, t.TempDir(), true); other.EditorGroup.ActiveFilePath() == first {
+	if other := sessionTestApp(t, t.TempDir(), true); other.EditorGroup.TabCount() != 1 || other.EditorGroup.ActiveFilePath() == first {

Save restorable paths for relative tabs

If a user saves a file with a relative name before opening a workspace, then adds a folder, the session stores the relative path. Restore skips that file on the next startup. Preserve an absolute path to the same file when saving the session.

@coderabbitai Addressed the outside-diff relative-path finding in aff6236. Session collection now resolves each tab path to an absolute path before deduplication and the existing regular-file check. The regression saves relative.txt, persists it, and verifies that a new editor instance restores the absolute path. Focused tests and lint pass.

@eugenioenko Thanks for addressing the relative-path finding and adding a regression test. I have not independently verified the fix or test results.

@coderabbitai review

The review allowance has refilled. Please review the unreviewed changes at aff6236: relative Save As paths are now resolved to absolute paths before session deduplication and validation, with a restart regression test. Earlier findings have been addressed, all threads are resolved, and CI is green.
