feat(sessions): saved session lists + live-process view - #147
Conversation
Session Buddy model (issues #145, #94; tracking #144): a 'live' scope showing running sessions with memory/uptime/tty, joined from ps against ~/.claude/sessions so an unregistered process or a stale registration is shown for what it is; 'save list' captures what is on screen as a named list, each member carrying title/branch/pin state/last messages and the transcript's away_summary recap; lists are browsable and resumable per row. No 'open all' by design. Shared atomic-json-store extracted from the marks store; enrichment grows a recap pattern; list-view scopes with precedence; docs 4.8 plus the 5.2/7.4 corrections cubic flagged on #143. 39 new tests.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds saved session lists, live Claude process detection, transcript recaps, session-id search, shared atomic JSON storage, Electron IPC wiring, and new switcher UI scopes. It also adds tests, documentation, and the 1.0.87 version update. ChangesSession scopes and persistence
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new live and saved-list views can intermittently show stale process information or filter against an uncommitted list selection, while outstanding formatting failures may also block required checks.

Manual test planWhat I could verify without the UI is done (124 unit tests; the live collector and the recap extraction run against this machine with the shipped code: 33 live sessions / 4.99GB, recaps for 37 of the 40 most recent sessions). What needs a person is below — roughly ten minutes, numbered so a report can say "3 failed". Build: A. Live scope
B. Save a list
C. Browse a list
D. Nothing else moved
Known limits in this slice (not bugs)
🤖 On behalf of @grimmerk — generated with Claude Code |
First live test: the dialog was nested in the Projects branch so it never rendered from Sessions; the live chip said 33 while the list had 32 rows (a live id the loaded list did not know got no row); the lists chip did nothing at zero lists; the memory figure was the total, not the rows shown. Also: sessionId is searchable on both paths, with an id marker on a hit.
Second live test round. (1) The store's normalizer was not a fixed point:
a text cap landing on a space wrote a trailing blank the next read trimmed,
so the file the app had just written was refused as non-authoritative and
every later save/delete was silently rejected — cap then trim again, with
a test that fails against the old code, and refusals now show in the UI.
(2) A timed-out ps read as 'nothing running, every registration stale'
("0 live ⚠33"); empty ps output is now a failure that keeps the previous
report. (3) A saved-list member (or pin placeholder) with no history row
took its running state only from the registration map, so a click resumed
a second copy instead of switching; rows now consult the ps join too, and
viewing a list refreshes it. (4) Synthetic live rows keyed by pid, so two
processes on one id cannot leave stale rows. Also: tty moved off the row
into the tooltip, MMDD-2 default names, list rows highlight on hover.
…efault Third live test round. A lists file the app cannot trust as written (the first dev build wrote one) showed as zero lists with no explanation, which read as data loss; the load now reports what the file holds and says to fix or remove it — never rewritten from the UI (the repair path drafted for this was dropped: no released build ever wrote that format, and a real format change is a versioned migration, not a button). Per-row memory/uptime in the live scope are now behind a 'stats' toggle, off by default and remembered: on most rows they track message count closely enough to be noise (user verdict); the total beside the search box stays. Docs and test plan updated; #148 filed for a resizable window.
… closes Closing the dialog unmounted the focused input and left focus on the body, so arrow keys went nowhere until a click landed somewhere (the document click handler is what refocuses the search box). Seen live as 'up/down stop working until I use the mouse'.
The store, IPC and preload for renaming already existed; this adds the UI: a pencil on each list row and in the viewed-list header opens the same name dialog prefilled with the current name. Empty keeps the old name. Held locally to ride the next review-round push.

- Line 890: Update orphan suppression in the live-process handling around the
pid/sessionId tracking to preserve a row for every uncovered process pid,
including processes sharing a sessionId; retain existing rows while synthesizing
rows for missing pids so liveCount and displayedRssKb represent all processes.
Apply the same pid-aware coverage logic in the session-list-view deduplication
so synthetic rows with an already represented sessionId are not incorrectly
removed.

…ch, store hardening CodeRabbit + cubic on #147 (20 threads + 3 nitpicks): - Two processes on one sessionId now each get a row (the second marked '2nd process'), keyed by pid, with the dedupe in session-list-view pid-aware; chip count, rows and memory total agree. - Session-id search is a prefix rule (>=4 hex chars) shared by both paths via matchesSessionId, not a substring — 'de' no longer matches the corpus. - Saved-list scope no longer renders the browse list's minor fold; ⌘D and the hover icons skip orphan rows; synthetic rows carry the account. - Flag-style one-shots (--version, --help, --mcp-serve, --helper) are not sessions; a registration whose body pid differs from its filename is skipped; capText caps in code points and caps the derived projectName. - Store temp files are written 0600. Empty catch documented. Nested role=button removed from list rows. __live typed on ListViewSession, IPC results typed, three renderer functions async/await. Declined with reasons on-thread: prettier on pre-existing files (repo norm, no CI gate), a live-scope timer (user decision), a store lock (#150).

- Line 970: Move the viewingListRef.current assignment out of render and into a
commit-phase effect or the existing list state-transition sites. Ensure
applySearchFilter continues reading the last committed viewingList, never a
value from an abandoned render.

…147 CodeRabbit on 604dc58: overlapping live-report requests could let an older ps snapshot overwrite a newer one — a request sequence now commits only the latest; viewingListRef is written in an effect, not in render. README: the Sessions section documents #139 (middle-ellipsis titles, match-aware windows, the match #N chip) and this PR (live scope, stats, saved lists, rename/delete, recap on a member, session-id search, scope survives resuming).

Summary
Two features that turn out to be one screen, on the Session Buddy model (issues #145 and #94; groups B and C0-adjacent in tracking issue #144):
● N live— a scope chip in the search row that narrows the list to sessions with a running process, with the memory they hold beside it. Astatstoggle (off by default, remembered) adds each row's memory and uptime for the "which one do I close first" moment.save list…— captures what is on screen (the live set, the pinned set, or a search result) as a named list.🗂 Nshows the saved lists; click one to view its members in the order they were captured and resume any of them.id 4ed7505amarker.Distinct from pins on purpose: a pin is "this matters long-term", a list is "this is what I had open on Tuesday". Both stay.
Why the live view is a prerequisite, not a bonus
"Save what is open" needs a correct answer to "what is open", and
~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.jsonalone does not give one. Measured on the reference machine (2026-09-05, 33 real sessions): one session was running with no registration and one registration pointed at a dead process. Saving from the registrations would have omitted a session and stored a ghost.So the live report joins
ps(ground truth for "running", knows nothing about sessions) against the registrations (knows the session, can be stale or missing):327MB · 3h51mwithstatson)⚠ unregistered— invisible to every other view in the apphistory.jsonlline yet (a/branchchild before its first prompt)bg-pty-host/bg-sparehelpersclaudebinaries too, and counting them is how an earlier tally reported 5 orphans instead of 1The filter is "session process and (registered or attached to a tty)" — VS Code sessions have no tty but are always registered, so they still count. The same join also tells a saved-list member or a pin placeholder whether it is running, so clicking a running session the registration-based detection cannot see switches to it instead of resuming a second copy.
Verified against this machine with the shipped code (a throwaway vitest probe, deleted before commit): 33 live sessions, 4.99GB resident; recaps extracted for 37 of the 40 most recent sessions, timestamps intact, trailing
(disable recaps in /config)stripped. Then three rounds of manual testing (25-step plan in the comment below), including the⚠ unregisteredand store-watcher cases driven live from a second session.What a saved member stores — this is the feature
A list of bare sessionIds is useless for recall. Each member captures title, branch, pin state (a snapshot, never updated afterwards), the last user and assistant messages, and the recap line Claude Code writes into the transcript (
"type":"system","subtype":"away_summary"— the※ recap:line at the bottom of the terminal). Every text field is capped, so a 30-session list is a few tens of KB.The recap replaces the last-reply line on a member row because it is written to answer exactly the question a snapshot answers. It is reliable enough to lead with — 65 of 66 non-trivial sessions in the corpus carry one; the misses are ≤29-line stubs below the three turns it needs — but not unconditional: it can be switched off in
/config, needs the terminal to have been unfocused, and never repeats back-to-back, so it can predate the session's last turn. Hence the fallback to the last message, and the⏱mark when a recap is more than 30 minutes older than the session's last activity: its final sentence is usually "next: …", and acting on a stale one is the failure mode.Deliberately absent
Where it lives, and why
Inside the Sessions tab as scopes, not a new tab: row rendering, search, pins, status dots and resume-on-click already live there, and vertical space is the scarce resource. The two entry points are chips in the search row (spare width), and a scope replaces the list rather than adding to it. Scopes rank — a list being viewed beats live, live beats pinned-only — and the ranking is encoded in the pure
buildSessionListViewso a stale flag can never blank the list.Under the hood
src/atomic-json-store.ts(new): the authoritative-read / atomic-write / directory-watch machinery, extracted from the marks store so the two stores share it. The read-authority invariant that PR feat(sessions): pin browse modes — recency order, ungroup, pinned-only #137 spent four review rounds narrowing now has exactly one implementation;session-marks.tsdelegates to it and its 16 existing tests pass unchanged.src/session-lists.ts(new): the lists store,~/.config/codev/session-lists.json, with the same refuse-to-write-over-an-unreadable-file guard. What gets written is built by the store's own normalizer, so a saved list is by construction one a later read accepts as authoritative — and the normalizer is tested to be a fixed point of itself, because the first dev build's was not (a cap that landed on a space) and the store refused every write after the first. A refused write is shown in the UI, never swallowed.src/live-sessions.ts(new):psparsing, the session-process filter, and the join, all pure and tested against capturedpsoutput;lsofis asked for a cwd only for unregistered processes. An emptypsresult is a failure (a process table is never empty), not "nothing is running" — a timed-outpson a swapping machine had rendered as● 0 live ⚠33.away_summary) in the pass that already readscustom-title/ai-title/pr-link.session-list-view.ts: two new scopes with precedence; running state from both the registration map and thepsjoin; synthetic live rows keyed by pid (two processes can share one sessionId — a resumed copy, a/branchparent and child — and duplicate React keys left stale rows on screen).applyEnrichment()replaces four hand-copiedthen(...)blocks, so a new enrichment field lands at every call site or none. The save dialog lives at the top level, outside the mode branches — nested inside the Projects branch it never rendered from Sessions.--fork-sessioncreates duplicate transcripts, which/branchfalsified (cubic's finding on docs: correct two assumptions a live experiment falsified #143, folded in here).Follow-ups filed
/branchchild with no prompt yet has no row and its ancestors lose their dot (pre-existing; the live scope makes it visible). Decided to leave the main list as is until the generation-chain work in sessions: /branch creates generation chains — 23.9% of transcripts, and CodeV cannot tell them apart #142.Lint note
The three new modules and their tests are prettier-clean.
switcher-ui.tsx,main.tsandclaude-session-utility.tswere never prettier-formatted (1,100+ pre-existing prettier errors in the first alone); per the repo norm, added lines follow the surrounding style rather than reflowing the file. There is no CI lint gate.Testing
