What's Wrong?

The VS Code extension session history dropdown only shows 2 out of ~8 saved conversations from yesterday. All session .jsonl files exist on disk in ~/.claude/projects/d--GO-Brand/ but the session picker UI doesn't list them all. This has happened on multiple days.

What Should Happen?

All saved conversation sessions should appear in the VS Code session history dropdown.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages. The session files exist on disk but don't appear in the UI.

Files on disk (March 18): 8 .jsonl files totaling ~12MB
Files shown in dropdown: only 2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a project in VS Code with Claude Code extension
2. Have multiple conversations throughout the day (I had ~8 on March 18)
3. Close and reopen VS Code
4. Click the session history dropdown in Claude Code panel
5. Only 2 of the 8 sessions appear under "Yesterday"
6. Verify files exist: ls ~/.claude/projects/d--GO-Brand/*.jsonl — all 8 are there
