feat(coding-agent): add session path toggle and deletion to /resume

 ### Added
 
 - Added `strictResponsesPairing` compat option for custom OpenAI Responses models on Azure ([#768](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/pull/768) by [@nicobako](https://github.com/nicobako))
+- Session selector (`/resume`) now supports path display toggle (`Ctrl+P`) and session deletion (`Ctrl+D`) with inline confirmation ([#816](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/pull/816) by [@w-winter](https://github.com/w-winter))

+In the `/resume` picker:
+- `Ctrl+P` toggles display of the session `.jsonl` file path
+- `Ctrl+D` deletes the selected session (inline confirmation; uses `trash` if available and cannot delete the active session)
+
 **Resuming by session ID:** The `--session` flag accepts a session UUID (or prefix). Session IDs are visible in filenames under `~/.pi/agent/sessions/<project>/` (e.g., `2025-12-13T17-47-46-817Z_a8ec1c2a-5a5f-4699-88cb-03e7d3cb9292.jsonl`). The UUID is the part after the underscore. You can also search by session ID in the `pi -r` picker.

+## Deleting Sessions
+
+Sessions can be removed by deleting their `.jsonl` files under `~/.pi/agent/sessions/`.
+
+Pi also supports deleting sessions interactively from `/resume` (select a session and press `Ctrl+D`, then confirm). When available, pi uses the `trash` CLI to avoid permanent deletion.
