TL;DR

The issue with recent sessions not showing in the Claude Code sidebar may be related to a regression introduced in version 2.1.116, and a potential fix could involve investigating the update's changes.

Guidance

  • Investigate the changes made in the latest update (version 2.1.116) to identify potential causes for the regression.
  • Verify if the issue persists when using a different Claude model, such as a previous version or a different model like Opus.
  • Check the application's data storage or caching mechanism to ensure that recent session data is being properly saved and retrieved.
  • Consider testing the application on a different platform or operating system to determine if the issue is specific to Windows or the Anthropic API.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause, and the fact that the issue is a regression suggests that the problem may be related to a specific change in the latest update.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue is a regression and the last working version is not specified, it may be helpful to try downgrading to a previous version of Claude Code, if possible, to verify if the issue is resolved.
