Tianyi Cui 5f773a0ded feat(workspace): restore archived sessions from a settings page
Sessions could be archived from the sidebar row menu but never restored:
the registry-global archive set was a one-way display filter with no
inverse RPC and no surface listing its members.

WorkspaceRegistry.unarchiveSession drops one id from archivedSessionIds in
one durable write on the same operation chain as archive, with no
session-existence probe because a removal cannot introduce an unknown
referent. The Workspace controller exposes it as workspace.unarchiveSession
returning the complete archive set, which the existing archived follow
increment already propagates, so no frame type and no persisted field
changes.

The new client package dsh-client-ui-settings-unarchive-sessions owns the
restore surface: one localized settings.section page listing the archive
set joined with loaded session summaries, newest archive first, searchable
by title or workspace, with one Unarchive action per row.

# Workspace Controller
English | [中文](README.zh.md)
## Summary
`@deepseek-ai/dsh-api-workspace-controller` owns the Host `ctx.workspaceController` service and the generated Client `ctx.remote.workspace` namespace. Its Remote methods create, rename, remove, and reorder Workspaces, reorder Sessions within a Workspace, archive and unarchive Sessions from Workspace navigation, and follow the complete Workspace projection. Use it through API Gateway when a Client must change or follow Workspace navigation. The package also owns `ctx.directoryPickerController` and the generated `ctx.remote.directoryPicker` namespace, because the directory-picking seam it carries is abstract and never a Loader entry of its own.

## Use this package
The Host controller serializes mutations whose correctness depends on current registry state and throws `RemoteError` with a stable `workspace/*` or `directory-picker/*` code for expected failures. Its `follow()` stream synchronously attaches to durable Workspace changes, emits one complete baseline first, then emits ordered `upsert`, `remove`, `order`, and `archived` increments. A reconnect starts another generation with a replacement baseline, so consumers do not depend on receiving every increment while disconnected.
The Client entry provides `ClientWorkspaceModel` and `createWorkspaceStateStream()`. The model owns Workspace rows, registry order, archived Session ids, unary mutation echoes, and stream/unary race resolution. A newer Host row wins by `updatedAt`; a committed stream order outranks an older unary response; a removed Workspace id cannot be resurrected by delayed data. The package exposes framework-neutral snapshots and subscriptions, leaving navigation policy and React hooks to the UI owner.

## Model Experience
None, as Workspace organization is browser and Host control state and registers no prompt, tool, or session event.
#### KV Cache effect
No direct effect; Workspace mutations do not alter model requests.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
<a id="known-limitations-and-deferred-work"></a>
- `follow()` replaces the whole projection after reconnect and has no durable cursor or incremental catch-up protocol.
- Process-local deletion markers prevent delayed data from reviving a removed Workspace only for the lifetime of the Client model.

None.

**Runtime invariant:** No companion is published. Workspace Registry owns persistence; every stream generation is a full projection.
