What's Wrong?

When using the Claude Code desktop app (Windows) connected to a remote server via SSH, there are two issues:

Archived conversations disappear completely — After using "Archive" on a conversation, it is removed from the sidebar with no way to restore or view it. The word "Archive" implies the conversation is saved and retrievable, but it effectively behaves like "Delete".

/export fails for the current session — Running /export in an active conversation returns "No transcript data found for this session".

No /resume support in desktop app — The CLI supports --resume to list and restore past sessions, but the desktop app UI has no equivalent feature. The session .jsonl files exist on the server (~/.claude/projects/), but there is no way to load them in the desktop app.

What Should Happen?

Archived conversations should be viewable and restorable from the sidebar (e.g., an "Archived" filter)
/export should work for active sessions
/resume or equivalent should be availa

Steps to Reproduce

Open Claude Code desktop app on Windows
Connect to a remote server (SSH)
Have a conversation, then click "Archive"
The conversation disappears from the sidebar
No filter, search, or menu option to view archived conversations
/export on a new session returns "No transcript data found for this session"
