## What chat-fork-map does, in the publisher's words

Conversation Fork Map is an experimental GitHub Copilot Canvas Extension for exploring and branching local Copilot conversations.

It renders a conversation family as session lanes in a side-panel canvas. Shared history stays in the parent lane, child lanes begin at their fork checkpoint, and the current session is highlighted. From any completed turn, you can create a CLI-only child session and continue it with the generated copilot --resume= command.

- View a complete conversation family without duplicating inherited turns.
- Pan, zoom, fit, and navigate large conversation maps.
- Inspect user prompts, Copilot responses, and expandable execution details.
- Fork any completed turn from an available family session.
- Track session names, summaries, availability, and live transcript updates.
- Preserve missing sessions as tombstones instead of silently dropping lineage.
