Bug Report: claude --resume only shows one session despite multiple saved sessions

Environment

• Claude Code Version: 2.0.76
• OS: Windows 10 Build 26200
• VS Code Version: 1.107.1
• Shell: Git Bash (MINGW64)

Description

When running claude --resume, only one recent session is displayed in the session picker, even though 45 session files (.jsonl) exist in the project directory.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create multiple Claude Code sessions in the same project directory over time
2. Run claude --resume from the project directory
3. Session picker shows only 1 session (the most recent one)
4. Press A key to toggle between "current directory" and "all projects" - no change

Expected Behavior

The session picker should display all available sessions from the project directory, allowing the user to select and resume any previous conversation.

Actual Behavior

Only 1 session is displayed:

What Should Happen?

The session picker should display all available sessions from the project directory.

When running claude --resume, users should be able to:

• See all 45 sessions that exist in the project directory
• Navigate through the list using arrow keys
• Preview any session with the 'P' key
• Select and resume any previous conversation
• Toggle between current directory and all projects with the 'A' key

Expected display example:

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Work on multiple Claude Code sessions over time in the same project directory

   • Example: Create sessions on different days for different tasks

2. Close VS Code or end Claude Code sessions normally

3. Verify that session files exist:
   dir C:\Users\xxx.claude\projects\d--Users-xxx-Dropbox--yyy-mmp-swprj-ow-zzz-ZZZ-ZZZ-ZERO-Claude-test01*.jsonl

Result: 45 files found

4. Navigate to the project directory:
   cd d:\Users\xxx\Dropbox@yyy\mmp_swprj\ow_zzz\ZZZ\ZZZ-ZERO\Claude\test01

5. Run the resume command:
   claude --resume

6. Observe the session picker - only 1 session appears instead of all 45

7. Try pressing 'A' key to toggle view - no additional sessions appear

Result: Only the most recent session is shown, older sessions are inaccessible through the picker despite existing in the filesystem.
