Problem Statement

Feature request: store conversation history by project identity, not file path

Currently, conversation history is tied to the absolute path of the working directory. If a user moves or renames a project folder, all history is lost — even though the project itself hasn't changed.

It would be great if Claude Code could identify projects by something more stable, like a unique ID stored in .claude/ when the project is first created. That way, moving or renaming a folder wouldn't break the conversation history.
