Point transcript lookup at the project directory Claude Code actually uses
Claude Code's project slug is not "slashes become dashes". Every
non-alphanumeric character becomes one dash, nothing collapsed - verified
against 2.1.269 by running a session in a directory named `slug._test x`,
which was filed as `-tmp-cmtest-slug--test-x`: the dot, the underscore and
the space each became a dash of their own. Paths with dots are ordinary on
macOS (iCloud Drive lives under `Mobile Documents`), and the old slash-only
rule pointed at a directory that does not exist, so repair-session could
not find a single transcript there.
It is also the physical directory that gets slugged. Claude Code asks the
OS for its working directory, and symlinks come back resolved: a session
started in /tmp/x is filed under -private-tmp-x on macOS, where /tmp is a
symlink, while the shell's $PWD still reads /tmp/x. Verified the same way -
a session started in /tmp/cmtest/linkdir landed under -tmp-cmtest-realdir.
cm_project_dir now applies the real rule and falls back to the resolved
path, which also covers the walk-up search in repair-session. Both cases
were re-tested end to end afterwards: from the dotted-and-spaced directory
and from the symlinked one, the transcripts are found.
The bar widget still reverses a slug for display ("-home-smoido-Work" ->
"home/smoido/Work"), which is lossy in the same way but is only a label,
and only ever sees Linux paths.
