What's Wrong?

Version: v1.4758.0 After updating, all projects show "No messages yet" in the session list .jsonl files are intact in ~/.claude/projects/ with full content sessions[] arrays in ~/.claude.json are all empty (0 sessions for all 17 projects) Data is not lost — UI is just failing to index/display existing sessions

What Should Happen?

See all chat history of existing sessions

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by checking the data indexing or session loading logic in the Claude Code Desktop App, specifically in version v1.4758.0.

Guidance

  • Verify that the sessions[] arrays in ~/.claude.json are being populated correctly after the update by checking the file after relaunching the app.
  • Check if there are any changes in the data storage or indexing mechanism in version v1.4758.0 that could be causing the sessions to not be displayed.
  • Try to reproduce the issue with a minimal project setup to isolate the problem and see if it's specific to certain projects or a general issue.
  • Consider downgrading to a previous version of the Claude Code Desktop App to confirm if the issue is indeed a regression.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more information about the internal workings of the Claude Code Desktop App.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Desktop App version v1.4758.0, and the fact that the .jsonl files are intact suggests that the data is not lost, but rather the app is failing to display it.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to a previous version of the Claude Code Desktop App until the issue is resolved, as the problem seems to be a regression introduced in version v1.4758.0.
