[BUG] Archived sessions show "No sessions found" in Claude Desktop Code tab

What's Wrong?

Archived Claude Code sessions in the Claude Desktop Code tab show "No sessions found" when filtering by "Archived" status. Active sessions display correctly. The session data files exist on disk at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude-code-sessions/ with isArchived: true, but the UI does not display them.

This started after updating Claude Desktop. A full reinstall of Claude Desktop did not fix

What Should Happen?

Archived Claude Code sessions should appear in the session list when the "Archived" status filter is selected.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages. The UI simply shows "No sessions found" despite 169 archived session JSON files existing on disk with correct isArchived: true flags.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Desktop
2. Go to the Code tab
3. Click the filter icon next to "Sessions"
4. Select "Archived" under Status
5. Select "All" under Environment
6. UI shows "No sessions found" despite archived sessions existing on disk
