# feat(session): surface imported sessions as read-only in list/info

`ffbe263`→[main](/content/gh/entireio/cli/commits/main/index.html)·

computermode·1w ago·4 files·+126 added/-1 removed

Imported sessions are read-only (not resumable/rewindable). Label them so users don't mistake unsupported writes for breakage:
\- session list card shows "imported (read-only)"
\- session info text adds a read-only note; --json/list --json expose kind + read\_only
\- resume picker explains when the only sessions present are imports

Rewind already refuses imported checkpoints (refuseIfImportedCheckpoint).
