What's Wrong?

From Claude:

What we know:

✅ 70+ session .jsonl files exist and are valid
✅ Files are readable and contain real conversations
✅ Data is safe and not deleted
❌ Claude Code UI won't load them after cache clear
❌ No separate index to rebuild
This is a confirmed Claude Code bug. The app lost its ability to discover sessions after cache clear, even though the data is intact.

What Should Happen?

All previous sessions should load as normal in the claude code desktop app for Mac. Version 1.1.9310 (cb30ac)
