Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

IndexedDB at 840KB (data loss, not rendering) vm_bundles at 9.7GB (VMs intact) claude-code-sessions only contains an empty owner-account UUID folder dated Jan 8 All Downloads/Cowork output preserved

What Should Happen?

I didn't reinstall the app and made no other changes so projects and chats should have persisted

TL;DR

The issue might be related to data loss in IndexedDB, which could be causing the projects to not render, and a potential fix could involve investigating the storage limits or corruption of the IndexedDB.

Guidance

  • Investigate the IndexedDB storage limits and usage to determine if the 840KB limit is being exceeded or if there's a corruption issue.
  • Check the claude-code-sessions folder contents and the empty owner-account UUID folder to see if there are any clues about the data loss.
  • Try to recover or rebuild the projects from the preserved All Downloads/Cowork output.
  • Consider downgrading to a previous version of Claude Code (if the last working version can be determined) to see if the issue persists.

Notes

The issue lacks specific error messages or logs, which makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Additionally, the Last Working Version field is empty, which could be crucial in determining the regression point.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the root cause is unclear, and there's no clear indication of a fixed version, applying a workaround such as investigating the IndexedDB storage limits or trying to recover projects from the preserved output might be the best course of action.
