fix(web): import agent sessions from project settings after onboarding

[Code-Tomato]

Fixes #10961

Session import is only reachable from the /welcome wizard, and nothing navigates there after onboarding completes. On desktop there is no address bar, so a Claude Code or Codex session started in a terminal after setup can never be imported, even when it ran in an existing project's folder.

Project settings now has an Import sessions row. It reruns the existing agentSessions.import for each of the project's checkouts and reports the result in a toast. The server import is already idempotent, so repeat clicks skip conversations that were imported before. No server or contract changes. The page is reachable from Settings, the command palette, and the sidebar thread menu, so this covers web and desktop. Mobile is unchanged.

User docs for the welcome wizard and project settings mention the new entry point.

Verification

• Web typecheck: no errors. Lint on the changed file: no new warnings. The pre-commit hook passed.
• Tested manually in the dev container: finished onboarding without importing, started a claude session in the project folder, then clicked Import sessions. The conversation was imported and appeared in the sidebar.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an Import sessions action to project settings. The action shows progress and reports successful imports, skipped sessions, and failures.
• Documentation
  • Updated the project settings and welcome wizard guides with instructions for importing sessions.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR adds a new Project Settings action that scans and imports recent Claude Code and Codex conversations into project history across checkouts. Although it reuses an existing idempotent RPC and leaves onboarding behavior unchanged, it creates a production path handling potentially sensitive conversation data and warrants human review.

All I did was have an option in the settings to import for the specific project.

Re: Copilot's overview

• Continue across failed checkouts: fixed in 5586a8d. A failing checkout, such as an offline environment, now reports its own error toast naming the environment, and the loop continues with the remaining checkouts. The summary toast covers every checkout that succeeded.
• Already-imported sessions in the toast: intentional. The server's importedCount includes conversations imported on earlier runs and does not report how many are new. The toast therefore says "N recent sessions are in this project" rather than "Imported N". Reporting an exact new count would require a contract and server change, which is out of scope for this fix.

Hey, I had the same problem and I just bumped into a solution that apparently is already baked in. I'm gonna paste what Astra gave me. Sorry, it's AI slop adjacent, but I promise that's good. Hopefully this helps.

Yes, no manual database manipulation is required. I double-checked both the source and your installed app: the welcome importer explicitly supports adding conversation history to projects that already exist, even after setup is completed.

One clarification: it resumes a saved conversation; it does not take over the currently running CLI process. If Codex is actively writing its transcript during import, T3 can skip that conversation because the file changed. See the transcript stability check.

For your situation:

1. Let the CLI finish its current turn, then exit the CLI.
2. In T3 Code, open View → Toggle Developer Tools → Console and run:

   window.location.hash = "/welcome"

3. Continue to project import and select the folder where that CLI conversation ran.
4. Open the imported conversation and send your next message. T3 stores the original Codex session ID to resume it. See the resume binding.

This assumes T3 uses the same Codex home as your CLI, normally ~/.codex, and the session meets the import limits mentioned earlier. The picker imports eligible conversations for the selected project, so it may bring in more than that one chat.

I’m confident the supported path exists. I haven’t tested your particular session, so I can’t guarantee its eligibility yet.

[Code-Tomato]

Thanks! That works, it's the workaround this PR is meant to replace. On desktop, DevTools is currently the only way back to import, and it walks you through the Connect and Agents steps again. With this PR, it's Settings → project → Import.

Good point on active chats. Not sure exactly what should happen with a running agent. Maybe the script should skip it?

The supplied screenshot shows the new Import row and success toast, but there is no before view or recording of the new import interaction. The verification requirement calls for before/after UI evidence and a recording when interaction details matter. Please add the comparison and a short capture showing the import progress and resulting session, then request reconsideration.
