Coding Agent: More entry points to track status #256594

Description

@bamurtaugh

I love the tracking that we're already providing in the GHPRI Copilot on My Behalf section. Here are some additional ideas:

  • Status bar entry with a quick count of in-progress and completed Coding Agent (and maybe even local agent?) sessions
    • I'd love having this quick tracking visible to me as I do other work outside of GHPRI in the editor
    • I believe @joshspicer or @alexr00 added this previously - I'd love to discuss bringing it back
    • @jo-oikawa had mentioned yesterday that a quick count in the status bar would be useful
  • Notification on chat history icon (i.e. blue dot indicating unread changes)
    • Image
    • This maybe makes more sense if / when we have Coding Agent sessions in the same chat history
  • Icon indicating availability of changes in chat session history
    • We don’t currently have an icon to differentiate sessions from history that have code changes. When navigating previous chat sessions, it's not clear which ones resulted in code changes:
    • Image
    • This also maybe makes more sense if / when we have Coding Agent sessions in the same chat history, though local agent sessions can also produce code changes

cc @rebornix since these several of these were your ideas and/or we discussed them.

I think this is related to but different from microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github#7148.
