`opencode session list` shows too few sessions and `--max-count` is not honored

[mharris717]

Description

opencode session list only shows ~24 sessions despite having 500+ in the database (118 root sessions). The --max-count / -n flag has no effect for values above that ~24 count.

Root cause: The CLI handler calls Session.list() with no arguments, so the DB query applies a default LIMIT 100. Child/delegation sessions are then filtered out in JS (if (!session.parentID)), and --max-count is applied via Array.slice() after that. Since many of the 100 DB rows are child sessions, only ~24 root sessions survive — and -n 1000 can never return more.

The server HTTP API (/session) already handles this correctly by passing roots: true to the query, which adds WHERE parent_id IS NULL so the LIMIT applies only to root sessions.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a project with many sessions (including delegation/subagent sessions)
2. Run opencode session list --format json | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(len(json.load(sys.stdin)))"
3. Run opencode session list -n 1000 --format json | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(len(json.load(sys.stdin)))"
4. Both return the same small number (~24), despite having far more root sessions in the DB
5. Compare with: opencode db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM session WHERE parent_id IS NULL"
