Feature Request: Keep conversations accessible when project folder is deleted/moved

Problem

When a project folder is deleted or moved, the associated conversations become invisible in the Claude Code app UI, even though the conversation data still exists in ~/.claude/projects/.

This is frustrating because:

• Accidental folder deletion loses access to valuable conversation history
• Moving/renaming projects orphans conversations
• The data is there but inaccessible through the normal UI

Current Behavior

1. Start a conversation in /path/to/project
2. Conversation data stored in ~/.claude/projects/-path-to-project/
3. Delete or move /path/to/project
4. Conversation disappears from Claude Code UI (but data remains)

Requested Behavior

Allow conversations to remain visible and usable even when the original project folder no longer exists. Options could include:

1. Show orphaned conversations in a separate "Archived" or "Orphaned Projects" section
2. Allow re-linking conversations to a new project path
3. Prompt user when opening an orphaned conversation: "Original folder not found. Open anyway?"
4. Settings option to always show conversations regardless of folder existence

Use Cases

• Cleaning up old project folders while keeping conversation history
• Renaming/reorganizing project directories
• Recovering from accidental deletions
• Archiving projects but keeping conversation access

Environment

• macOS (Claude Code desktop app)
• Conversation data location: ~/.claude/projects/[encoded-path]/

Thank you for considering this feature!
