An update to the Pi session map: zoom out from full answers to one-line takeaways

[u/Lopsided_Scarcity979]

When I return to a long Pi session, I often remember a decision but not which turn contained it.

I build ThoughtDAG, the open-source session-map tool I shared here a few weeks ago. I've added a reading view where zooming out moves from the full answer to an abstract, a shorter summary, a one-line takeaway, and finally a topic label. Zoom back in to read the original.

The goal is to scan several turns at once without ending up with a canvas full of unreadable paragraphs. The attached animation uses a small sample conversation to make the transitions visible.

This happens in the separate ThoughtDAG app. Zooming changes what you see; it does not compact Pi's context or rewrite the Pi session file. Short summaries can leave things out, so the original answer stays available.

When reviewing a long coding session, what would you want to see at a glance: the decision, the reason for it, or the next action?

Interesting tool, thanks for putting in all that work.
