- #50195: feat: Add ability to switch working directory during session
- PR #105991: feat(tui): add /cd slash command and scope path completion to session cwd

All three members propose letting users change the working directory or workspace while in use: one as a general session feature, one in the Hermes Desktop UI, and one as a TUI /cd slash command with path completion scoped to the session cwd. The titles alone do not show how these relate in implementation or status.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.45`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
