New session always opens in last used project directory instead of selected one

Bug Report

Version: Claude Code Desktop App

OS: Windows 11 with WSL2 (Ubuntu)

Description

When creating a new session in the Claude Code desktop app, the session always opens in the last used project directory (e.g. npm-jpcore) regardless of which directory is selected or added during session creation.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have an existing project open (e.g. npm-jpcore)
2. Click "New session"
3. Add/select a different directory (e.g. /home/dev/temp/santa1)
4. Confirm session creation

Expected Behavior

The new session should open in the newly selected directory (/home/dev/temp/santa1).

Actual Behavior

The new session opens in the previously used project directory (npm-jpcore) instead of the one selected.

Impact

It is impossible to start a session on a directory other than the last used project from the desktop app UI. The only workaround is to run claude from the terminal inside the target directory.
