New sessions fetched history before their confirmed empty state was published, and cold worktree selection ignored globally indexed session directories.
Initialize new transcripts before navigation, reject stale-runtime creation responses, and resolve cold sessions through their known directory. Preserve earlier live records and explicit recovery.
Validated 191 focused tests, UI type-check and ESLint. Reviewed dead-code and oxlint reports; existing anti-slop findings remain outside the added code. Remote and Windows runtime behavior has not been manually verified.
