What's Wrong?

When clicking on Archive button in Claude Code app (even accidentally) there is no method to recover that conversation in whole or in part, in the app. This is a major oversight and miss.

What Should Happen?

If I archive a project there should be a method to recover that project.

Additional Information

I've spent about an hour trying to restore that conversation. I see that were I to use terminal or some other instance of Claude, I may be able to restore it, but it wouldn't then restore the conversation through the app.

What's more ridiculous is that I didn't even know that I'd hit the button, I'd swiped my mouse and it clicked... so that was like... hurm... this sucks.

I'd suggest this is a major issue that requires immediate remediation.
