Bug description
After a recent Cowork update (noticed 2026-07-08), session management tools (list_sessions, search_session_transcripts) return empty results, making it impossible to recall previous sessions or continue work across windows.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a new session in a project directory with extensive prior session history
- Call
list_sessions— returns "No other sessions found" - Call
search_session_transcriptswith a keyword known to exist in prior sessions — returns "No matching sessions found"
Expected behavior
Both tools should return matching prior sessions so the user can pick up context from previous work.
Actual behavior
Both return empty results despite the user having many prior sessions in the same project directory.
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Claude Code desktop app (Cowork)
- Date observed: 2026-07-08
