What's Wrong?
When I have two Claude Code sessions running in the same directory, when I write "Hello A" on session A, then "Hello B" in session B, pressing "up arrow" to get the last message in both sessions shows me "Hello B".
What Should Happen?
Session A should show only the history of session A, and session B should only show session B's history.

Steps to Reproduce
- Run two concurrent sessions in the same dir.
- Write "A" in session A, "B" in session "B" and press enter in both.
- Press Up Arrow in both sessions, both will show the most recent message in both sessions instead of the most-recent in that particular session.
