Problem Statement

When a project folder is moved to a new location, Claude Code sessions should automatically follow the folder to the new path. Currently, sessions are lost after moving a folder and can only be recovered by manually renaming the encoded directory in ~/.claude/projects/.

Proposed Solution

Sessions should be automatically remapped to the new project path, or there should be a command to migrate sessions when a folder is moved.
