-s in CLI does not consistently capture session for agents

[eighteyes]

Reproduction

1. aichat -s -a agentname
2. > <enter prompt>
3. .info session

Expectation: Session contains past message and response, verbatim, unless compress threshold is crossed.

Reality: Session occasionally retains past conversations, one out of four messages or so.

Fix: Do not use -s flag, instead use .session in repl

Hope this helps diagnose and fix. If I knew Rust I'd give it a shot!

Additional context

[sigoden]

If you use -s, it creates a temp session that will never be saved.

Please run it with -s <session-name> (specify a meaningful name) and --save-session (to save the current conversation to the session).

[eighteyes]

Maybe I just don't get it, is session supposed to be incomplete, or is it supposed to store the conversation history?

@eighteyes

aichat -s begins a temp session, which is always new and empty.
