Claude Code replaces all non-alphanumeric, non-hyphen characters with hyphens when creating project directories under ~/.claude/projects/. Happy's regex only covered 6 specific characters (\, /, ., :, space, _), causing session files to not be found for paths containing @, #, +, ~, parentheses, brackets, and other special characters. This was most commonly triggered by Google Drive paths (containing @) and directory names with spaces, causing the mobile app to show sessions with no messages. The fix replaces the restrictive allowlist regex with a broader pattern that matches Claude Code's behavior: replace anything that isn't a letter, digit, or hyphen. Closes slopus#563
