What's Wrong?
When creating a new session on claude.ai/code (Claude Code on the web), two identical sessions always appear simultaneously in the sidebar. This happens every single time without exception.
What Should Happen?
Creating a new session should result in exactly one session appearing in the sidebar.
Error Messages/Logs
No error messages displayed. The duplicate session appears silently.
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to claude.ai/code
- Select a repository and create a new session
