Desktop app: project sessions too easy to mix up — no visual distinction

Problem

When multiple project sessions are open in the Claude Code desktop app, there is no clear visual distinction between them. They look identical. Users accidentally type into the wrong session constantly.

This is especially bad when:

• Multiple sessions are open for different projects in the same workspace
• Sessions get reordered or jump around in the sidebar
• A user switches back to what they think is the right session and starts entering commands/context meant for a completely different project

Impact

• Commands and context get sent to the wrong project session
• Work gets mixed up between unrelated projects
• Users waste time figuring out what went wrong
• There's no undo — once you've filled in the wrong session, that context is gone from where it was supposed to go

Suggestion

• Add clear, persistent project name labels at the top of each session
• Use distinct colors or icons per project
• Add a confirmation or visual flash when switching between sessions
• Make it harder to accidentally interact with the wrong session

This has caused real data loss and wasted work across multiple sessions.
