Qwen Code lets users reference prior sessions from @ completion with read-only summaries
LaZzyMan · ghdev · 2026-07-20
This Qwen Code PR adds a new way to reference prior project sessions directly from the interactive @ completion flow.
What it does
- lets users pick a previous session from @ completion
- inserts an @session:<id> reference
- injects a deterministic, read-only transcript summary
- keeps visible user and assistant text while compressing tool output into short status lines
- preserves the newest content within an 8k-token budget
UI changes
The completion menu is now grouped into:
- All
- Files
- Sessions
- MCP
- Extensions
Left/right arrows switch categories only when multiple groups are present, so normal cursor movement is unchanged otherwise.
Goal
Instead of resuming or forking an old session, users can reuse relevant history while keeping the current conversation independent.
