Desktop: opening a session anchors mid-conversation instead of first-unread / bottom

Problem Statement

When opening an existing session in the Claude Code desktop app, the conversation view is often anchored somewhere in the middle of the transcript instead of the latest message, and I have to scroll manually every time. This happens most noticeably in sessions containing many inline screenshots (e.g. browser-automation sessions via the Chrome extension) and in sessions that were driven via browser remote and then opened on the desktop. With 7+ parallel sessions in daily use, reviewing each one becomes tedious because the anchor position appears unrelated to read state. Environment: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200, Claude Code desktop app (CLI 2.1.220).

Proposed Solution

When a session is opened: if it has unread messages, anchor the view at the first unread message; otherwise open scrolled to the bottom (latest message). This matches the common behavior of chat applications and would make multi-session review much faster.

Alternative Solutions

The floating jump-to-bottom button works as a manual workaround, but it requires an extra action on every session open. No setting appears to exist to change the default anchor position.
