Pi extension package adding /last to restore the most recent user-authored text message into the editor for editing and resubmission.

Scans ctx.sessionManager.getBranch() only, so it targets the current active branch.
Uses only entries where entry.type === "message" and entry.message.role === "user".
Ignores assistant, tool, bash, custom, summary, label, and metadata entries.
Preserves stored text exactly, including multiline prompts.
Does not submit anything automatically.
Uses fast same-session restore when the message has a parent: ctx.navigateTree(parentId, { summarize: false }), then ctx.ui.setEditorText(text).
Falls back to Pi's public fork restore only when the latest user message is the first/root message, because public navigateTree() has no "before root" target.

No private session APIs are used.

If no prior user message exists, /last shows:

No previous user message found.

If the latest user message has images but no text, /last warns that text-only restore is not possible and does not fall back to older messages.

From npm:

pi install npm:pi-edit-last-message

Then inside Pi:

/reload
/last

From GitHub:

pi install https://github.com/artriy/pi-edit-last-message

Then inside Pi:

/reload
/last

npm install
npm run check
pi -e ./extensions/edit-last-message.ts

Manual acceptance checks:

Send hello, receive any assistant response, run /last; editor contains hello.
Send multiline prompt, run /last; exact line breaks remain.
If current leaf is after assistant/tool output, /last still finds latest user message.
/last does not submit automatically.
/last does not restore assistant/tool/system/custom messages.
No user message case shows No previous user message found. and does not crash.
Image-only latest user message shows warning.

pi-copy-user-message — reference package for current-branch latest-user-message scanning and text extraction patterns.
pi-edit-session-in-place — broader in-place picker/editor for earlier user messages.

This package keeps narrower scope: /last only, using same-session restoration when Pi's public APIs allow it.
