fix: Merge project groups that resolve to the same projectPath#44
Merged
Conversation
Two ~/.claude/projects/<folder>/ directories can resolve to the same project cwd because Claude Code's folder-name encoding scheme has changed over time (older runs encoded dots/spaces/@ as dashes; newer runs preserve them literally). buildProjectsFromCache previously keyed its projectMap by on-disk folder name, so the sidebar rendered both folders as separate groups. This also caused the sidebar to accumulate duplicate DOM nodes on every re-render (toggling the active-session filter, etc.) — morphdom keys on node.id, and project group ids derive from projectPath, so duplicate projectPath entries produced colliding ids that morphdom couldn't reconcile. Key the map by projectPath instead, merging cached rows, empty-folder fallback entries, and active-terminal injections from all encodings into a single project group.

It could be, as i think i only saw this issue in the newer version |
- buildProjectsFromCache now stores folder: encodeProjectPath(projectPath) for every projectMap insertion, so the merged group's id is deterministic regardless of which legacy on-disk folder happened to be scanned first. - Empty-dirs pass reads folder→projectPath through cache_meta (one query) instead of calling deriveProjectPath per folder per render. Folders the indexer hasn't seen yet fall back to deriveProjectPath and backfill cache_meta so subsequent renders are pure DB lookups. - Wire getAllFolderMeta through main.js → sessionCache.init.

Summary
~/.claude/projects/<folder>/directories can resolve to the same projectcwdbecause Claude Code's folder-name encoding scheme has changed over time (older runs encoded dots/spaces/@as dashes; newer runs preserve them literally). The sidebar rendered both folders as separate groups.node.id, and project-group ids derive fromprojectPath, so duplicateprojectPathentries produced colliding ids that morphdom couldn't reconcile.buildProjectsFromCachenow keysprojectMapbyprojectPath, so cached rows, empty-folder fallback entries, and active-terminal injections from all encodings merge into one project group.before
Test plan
My Drive/Obsidian Vault(and any other project with two encoded folder names) shows as a single sidebar group with sessions from both folders.npm teststill passes.
