What's Wrong?

VS Code extension is not displaying sessions from the last week (April 25-26, 2026) in the session history list. However, older sessions from before April 19 are visible.

What Should Happen?

All sessions should appear in the session history list in the VS Code extension sidebar, including recent sessions from the past week.

2. Have multiple sessions over several weeks
3. Open the Claude Code extension in VS Code
4. Click on the session history/list
5. Observe that sessions from April 19-26, 2026 are missing from the list
6. However, sessions from before April 19 are visible
7. Verified that the missing session files DO exist on disk at:
