Edit a session's startup command after creation #74
Description
Request
Allow editing the command line a session is launched with after it has been created.
Today the launch Command / Args (and the SSH equivalents) are captured at session creation time in NewSessionDialog and persisted to state.json, but there is no UI to change them afterwards — you have to close the session and create a new one (losing scrollback, runs, notes, etc.) just to fix a typo or swap the launched tool.
Suggested UI
- A "Edit launch command…" entry on the sidebar right-click menu (and possibly on the terminal toolbar dropdown).
- Small dialog that lets the user tweak
Command/Args(and SSH fields for remote sessions). - Changes apply on next launch — the running PTY is unaffected until the session is restarted (sleep/wake or close/reopen).

Implemented by #98 (merged as 4a05d9c).
Any session can now be reconfigured through the same
NewSessionDialogin edit mode — working folder, command, SSH target and appearance — reachable from the ⚙ on the terminal toolbar, the sidebar right-click menu, and on a dormant row (which reconfigures a sleeping session without waking it). The session keeps its Id, group, run commands and sidebar slot.Closing by hand: the PR body didn't carry a
