[FEATURE] Persist session history with IDs and dates for easy resuming

• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When Claude Code exits, it shows a session ID that can be used to resume the conversation with claude --resume <id>. However, this ID is only shown momentarily and is not persisted anywhere accessible.

Proposed Solution

Suggestion: Maintain a local log file (e.g., ~/.claude/sessions.log or similar) that records each session with:

• Session ID
• Start/end timestamps
• Working directory

This would allow users to:

1. Review past sessions by date
2. Easily copy the ID to resume a specific session
3. Identify which session corresponds to a given task without relying on memory

Use Case Example

After multiple working sessions across different days, it's currently impossible to resume a specific past session unless you noted the ID at exit time. A simple append-only log would solve this completely.
