Session list now displays last message timestamp as modified time instead of file mtime. Ctrl+N enters rename mode in the interactive resume picker, allowing quick session renaming without leaving the selector. Rename hint is shown only in interactive mode, not in the CLI --resume picker./

Looks like we both opened a PR the same day adding a ctrl+n-keybinding action to the /resume session picker. @aos very reasonably requested configurability in mine (which is about toggling a Named-only filter in the picker)
One of our patches should use a different default keybinding though. What about ctrl+r (since this action is about Renaming) or one involving alt ?
