What's Wrong?

After restarting IntelliJ IDEA, previously active Claude Code sessions no longer appear in the recent sessions list. The session was active moments before the restart, but after reopening the IDE, the recent sessions list is empty.

What Should Happen?

Recent sessions should persist across IDE restarts and be accessible from the recent sessions list.
