Long multi-phase sessions lose all context after sleep/Windows Update

What happened
I worked with Claude Code for ~5+ hours on a multi-phase plan. My Windows machine went to sleep during inactivity and a Windows Update ran during that period. When I resumed, Claude Code had:
- No memory of the multi-phase plan it had been executing
- No recoverable conversation history I could pull back up to reconstruct context
- No persisted plan state to resume from
The auto-memory system was empty — it had not captured the plan or progress through it.
Impact
5+ hours of working context — including the plan structure, decisions made, and progress through phases — was effectively lost. There was no /resume path back to that session.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Home (10.0.26200)
- Working dir is on a WSL-mounted path (
Z:\home\lily\wsl_git\...) - Triggering event: idle sleep + Windows Update reboot
What I'd want
- Conversation transcripts for long sessions should survive reboots and be discoverable from
/resume(or equivalent), even after a Windows Update. - When a multi-phase plan is active, the plan state itself should be persisted somewhere recoverable on restart (not only in-memory).
- If transcripts already are persisted on disk somewhere, surface where — I couldn't find them.
