Chive's session management system consists of three layers of core functional architecture:
1. Status monitoring layer
- Real-time chromatography labeling: running (green), waiting for input (yellow), error status (red)
- Hover display detailed metrics: CPU/Memory usage, duration, last active time
2. Project management
- Support renaming session entries by double clicking on them, suggested naming rule is "Project_Module_Version" (Example: ECommerce_Checkout_v2.1)
- Right-click menu provides organizational functions such as "Top" and "Collapse Similar Sessions".
3. Rapid interaction layer
- Shortcut key Command+number Quickly switch between sessions
- Drag-and-drop sorting feature supports organizing session queues by priority
- Session Screenshot feature saves the state of the code at a specific point in time
In practice, it is recommended to turn on the "Intelligent Grouping" function, where the system automatically clusters sessions based on project names and code features.
