fix(chat): restore user prompts in session message history#57
Merged
Conversation
The SDK stores user prompts as plain strings (content: "text") while assistant messages use content block arrays. The getMessages API skipped any message where content was not an array, so all user prompts were missing from restored sessions. Made-with: Cursor

Extracts reconstructMessages() from getMessages() as a pure function so it can be tested without SDK/disk dependencies. 10 new tests cover: - User prompts stored as plain strings (the PR #57 fix) - Assistant messages with text and tool_use blocks - Tool result attachment from SDK user-type messages - Filtering of tool-result-only user messages - Empty/undefined content handling - Full multi-turn conversation round-trip - Block ID uniqueness across messages Made-with: Cursor
