Improve UI for selecting paths from a large list #1491

Description

@jwbonner

We had >50 paths in our 2026 Choreo project (most of which used autogenerated names). We don't use the Choreo GUI for defining paths, but it is a useful interface for debugging failed generations. However, we often found it very frustrating to try to find a specific path in the GUI. Here are a few suggestions, though I'm open to other ideas:

  • The list of paths doesn't seem to follow any consistent order. Sorting it alphabetically would be a huge usability improvement since you wouldn't need to scroll through the entire list looking for a single path.

  • The box for the path name has a fixed width, so any paths with longer names are cut-off. Making the sidebar resizable and/or adding tooltips with the full name would be a big improvement.

  • Maybe a bigger lift, but being able to search/filter the list by name would be very nice. We often know the exact name of the path we're looking for, so being able to jump right to that path in the list would be great.
