What's Wrong?

Description

After a recent version update, CLI sessions started from a project directory
can no longer be resumed in the Claude Code Desktop app.
The desktop app shows an error dialog:

"CLI session <session-id> transcript has no cwd — cannot import"

This worked correctly before the update.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a terminal and cd into a project directory
2. Run claude to start a session
3. Have a conversation and close the session
4. Open Claude Code Desktop app
5. Run /resume and select the CLI session

Expected Behavior

The CLI session is imported and resumed in the Desktop app as before.

Actual Behavior

An error dialog appears:

"CLI session <id> transcript has no cwd — cannot import"

Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.1.90
• Claude Desktop (for Mac) : 1.2.234
• OS: macOS
• Started from a specific project directory (cwd is definite)

Additional Notes

This is a regression. The same workflow worked fine before the recent update.

What Should Happen?

The CLI session should be imported and resumed in the Desktop app,
as it did before the recent update.
