Problem Statement

Currently, the only way to bring an existing Claude Code CLI session into the desktop app is to explicitly use remote control. There is no automatic discovery of active or recent CLI sessions. Session discovery requires manual intervention (remote control setup) rather than being automatic.

Proposed Solution

Auto-detect active and recent Claude Code CLI sessions and surface them in the desktop app without requiring remote control setup. OpenAI Codex desktop app automatically detects all previous sessions on launch.
