claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Stats heatmap counts a day active only if a session STARTED that day — days spent entirely in resumed sessions show 0 and break the streak

What's Wrong?

The usage stats screen (heatmap / current streak) appears to bucket activity by the session's START date rather than by each message's own timestamp. Repro: work for a full day entirely inside a long-running session that was started on an earlier day (resume across midnight, no new session that day). The day shows 0 activity in the heatmap even though the transcript contains real user/assistant messages timestamped that day, and the current-streak counter breaks at it. Concrete case: a day with 4 sessions / 428 message-lines (verified in ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl, timestamps 06:49–17:25 UTC) rendered as "0" because zero sessions had their first message on that date — all activity lived in sessions started 5 days earlier. Expected: a day is "active" if any message timestamp falls on it, regardless of when the containing session started. Env: claude-code 2.1.165, macOS.

What Should Happen?

A day in the usage stats should count as "active" if any message in any transcript has a timestamp on that calendar day — regardless of when the session that contains it was started.

Activity should be attributed per-message-timestamp, not per-session- start date. A day worked entirely inside a long-running session that was resumed from an earlier day should still light up in the heatmap and keep the current streak intact.

Error Messages/Logs

A day in the usage stats should be counted as "active" if any message in
any transcript has a timestamp on that calendar day — regardless of when
the containing session was started.

Currently the heatmap / streak counter appears to bucket activity by the
session's START date, so a day spent entirely inside a long-running
session that was resumed from an earlier day shows 0 activity and breaks
the current-streak counter, even though that day's transcript contains
real user/assistant messages.

Expected: activity is attributed per-message-timestamp, not per-session-
start. Days worked entirely within resumed sessions should light up in
the heatmap and keep the streak intact.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a Claude Code session on day A (e.g. May 26) and do some work.
2. Keep that same session running and resume it over the following days WITHOUT starting any new session — i.e. on day B (e.g. May 31) do all your work inside that already-open session, across the midnight boundary. (No new session has its first message on day B.)
3. Confirm real activity exists on day B: the transcript files in ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl contain user/assistant messages with timestamps on day B (in my case 4 sessions, 428 message-lines, 06:49–17:25 UTC).
4. Open the usage stats / heatmap screen.

Result: day B shows 0 activity in the heatmap and the current-streak counter breaks at day B — even though day B has real messages. Every neighbouring day (which had at least one session START that day) is counted correctly. The only distinguishing factor of day B is that zero sessions had their FIRST message on it.
