Problem Statement
Currently, session history files are stored locally under ~/.claude/projects/, but there's no way to browse or reopen past sessions from the desktop app UI.
Proposed Solution
- A session history panel in the desktop app showing past conversations (date, project path, first message as preview)
- Ability to click to resume a historical session
Current workaround:
- Use
/resume <session-id>in the CLI, which is not available in the desktop app
