These items concern adding a Desktop setting (referenced as display.resume_last_session) so the app can open a new chat rather than reopening the last session, similar to the TUI's tui_auto_resume_recent option. The members include an issue describing the missing toggle and two feature PRs referencing #60812, one noted as a salvage of #60816.
