Pull request overview
This PR documents mid-session settings changes, specifically the ability to change working directory and enabled extensions during an active session. The changes improve user experience by clarifying how settings can be modified without starting a new session.
Changes:
- Added documentation for mid-session settings changes including working directory, extensions, model, and mode
- Restructured extension management documentation to distinguish between default settings and mid-session changes
- Simplified session start instructions by removing redundant directory-switching guidance

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The persistence description "New sessions (after restart)" is inconsistent with other entries that say just "New sessions". Either all should include "(after restart)" or none should, to maintain clarity and consistency. Consider using "New sessions" to match the other rows in the table.
Suggested change
| | **Working Directory** | <FolderDot className="inline" size={16} /> directory switcher | New sessions (after restart) | | |
| | **Working Directory** | <FolderDot className="inline" size={16} /> directory switcher | New sessions | |

working directory update behaves differently (doesn't persist when starting new session by opening a new window from the app)
