What's Wrong?

The desktop app's "Code" tab sidebar only shows a handful of sessions (e.g. 8) despite 95-99 being saved and indexed locally. Expanding/collapsing a folder just toggles the same short list — nothing more appears. This got worse after leaving the PC asleep overnight (previously showed a slightly larger but still incomplete list, then went to showing almost nothing).

What Should Happen?

All saved sessions should be listed (or at least reachable/searchable) in the sidebar.

Error Messages/Logs

AppData\Roaming\Claude\logs\main*.log contains prior occurrences of:
[sessions-bridge] Cap-redispatch budget exhausted for <id> (2); transport stays dead until app restart or system resume

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the desktop app, go to the "Code" tab.
2. Look at the sidebar tree of projects/sessions.
3. Compare against the actual number of saved sessions on disk (%USERPROFILE%\.claude\projects\*.jsonl).
4. Confirmed data is intact and NOT a loss issue: running claude --resume from a terminal opens an interactive picker that correctly lists and reopens all sessions.
5. Fully killing all claude.exe processes via Task Manager and relaunching (fresh PIDs/start times confirmed) did NOT fix the sidebar.
