What happens
Every pinned session in the Code tab shows the notice "This session is pinned, so it won't be archived automatically." It shows even when nothing would ever archive the session. There is no way to dismiss it or turn it off.
Settings at the time
- Archive inactive sessions: Never
- Auto-archive sessions when their pull request closes: Off
With both off, the notice tells the user nothing. Pinning has no effect on archiving.
Expected
Hide the notice when no auto-archive setting is on. Or let the user dismiss it for good.
Environment
- Claude desktop app 2.31226.0
- macOS 26.7.1
