Preserve session history when a project directory is moved

Problem Statement

Claude Code ties conversation/session history to the project's directory path. When I move my code to a different location (rename or relocate the project folder), the existing history no longer follows it and effectively breaks. This means reorganizing a project — something developers do routinely — comes at the cost of losing the context built up in past sessions.

Proposed Solution

A way to keep session history associated with a project after it's moved. For example:

• History that follows the project when the folder is relocated, or
• A command to migrate/re-point existing history to the new path (e.g. claude history migrate <old-path> <new-path>).

Alternative Solutions

Use Case Example

I frequently restructure my repositories and move directories around. Today I avoid doing this, or I just accept losing history, because there's no way to carry the Claude Code history over to the new location.

Additional Context

I'm using the Desktop version.
