Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, when a conversation becomes too long and hits the context limit, the only option is to start a brand new chat session. This breaks the continuity of the discussion and forces the user to manually re-explain previous context. Even using the "Pin" feature does not help resume a conversation; it only serves as a bookmark. Power users who engage in deep, multi‑session projects (e.g., software testing analysis, feature design discussions, long-term research) lose hours of accumulated context.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose a feature called "Conversation Chaptering" or "Linked Threads". This would allow users to split a very long conversation into multiple linked chapters (e.g., Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) while maintaining the ability to resume the discussion seamlessly.

Key requirements:

Automatic Context Preservation: When a conversation reaches a user‑defined length or the context limit, the system suggests starting a new "chapter" and automatically passes a compressed summary of the previous conversation to the new chat.

Manual Chapter Creation: Users can manually create a new chapter from an existing pinned conversation, preserving the core context (key discussion points, decisions, project goals).

Linked Navigation: A simple way to navigate between chapters (e.g., a "Previous Chapter" / "Next Chapter" button or a chapter dropdown) so the user never loses the thread.

Custom Chapter Summaries: Users can write a short summary for each chapter (e.g., "Chapter 2 – Testing UI Proposals") to keep their archive organized.

This is similar to how a book has chapters, or how some advanced AI platforms allow "project‑based" sessions with persistent memory.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current workaround is to manually copy important parts of the conversation into a new chat, or use third‑party browser extensions (like "Overpowered DeepSeek") that offer conversation management. However, these are external solutions and break the native experience.

Additional context

This feature would be a game‑changer for power users, researchers, and anyone who engages in long, evolving discussions with DeepSeek. It turns the platform from a stateless chatbot into a true long‑term assistant. Several community issues (e.g., #515, #949, #67, #1082) have requested related features (session saving, persistent memory, archiving). This proposal unifies them into a single, user‑friendly workflow.
