[BUG] "No sessions found" - race condition in storage path initialization (Windows)

What's Wrong?

Code tab sidebar intermittently shows
"No sessions found" on startup. Sessions
created during this broken state are
permanently lost because the app cannot
write to disk.

The problem is non-deterministic: sometimes
restarting fixes it, sometimes it doesn't.
There is no reliable user-side workaround.

main.log shows 133 occurrences of:
"Cannot save session: storage path not available"

Root cause appears to be a race condition:
the Code tab initializes before accountId/orgId
is resolved, so the storage path
(claude-code-sessions/{accountId}/{orgId}/)
is not yet available.

What Should Happen?

Code tab should reliably load all persisted
sessions on every startup. The session store
initialization should wait for account info
before attempting to read/write sessions.
