History “Open session … as new tab” fails for local Claude Code (AgentSessions read error) and opens empty tab for local Codex

[mcj-coder]

Summary

Clicking “Open session … as new tab” in History fails for local Claude Code (no tab opens, AgentSessions read error). For local Codex, a tab opens but is empty.

Environment

• Maestro: 0.14.5
• OS: Windows
• Agents: Claude Code (local), Codex (local)

Repro A — Local Claude Code

1. Open History.
2. Click “Open session … as new tab” for a history entry that belongs to a different local project than the current active session.
3. Nothing opens; log adds:

   [ERROR] [[AgentSessions]] read error {}
   

Expected: new tab opens with stored session messages
Actual: no tab opens; AgentSessions read error

Likely root cause (code)

• History button only passes agentSessionId (no project path).
  src/renderer/components/HistoryPanel.tsx:629
• onOpenSessionAsTab is wired directly to handleResumeSession.
  src/renderer/hooks/props/useRightPanelProps.ts:220
• handleResumeSession always uses activeSession.projectRoot for agentSessions.read.
  src/renderer/hooks/agent/useAgentSessionManagement.ts:165-195

If the history entry belongs to another local project, it reads the wrong path and throws.

Suggested fix

Thread projectPath (and sshRemoteId where relevant) from History → RightPanel → handleResumeSession, and use those when reading stored sessions.

Repro B — Local Codex

1. Run Codex in Maestro and generate History entries.
2. Click “Open session … as new tab” for a Codex history entry.
3. A new tab opens but has no messages.

Expected: tab loads stored Codex session messages
Actual: tab is empty

Likely root cause (code)

Codex session ID from output uses thread_id, and stored sessions use “session_meta” with payload.id.

findSessionFile() only checks:

• filename UUID
• metadata.id
  but not metadata.payload.id

So session file is not found; read returns empty.

Relevant code:

• src/main/parsers/codex-output-parser.ts:210,414 (sessionId from thread_id)
• src/main/storage/codex-session-storage.ts:917-946 (findSessionFile does not check payload.id)

Suggested fix

Update findSessionFile() to match metadata.payload?.id as well as metadata.id.

---

Extra

The log message shows {} because the error is stringified without message; optional: include error message/code in AgentSessions read failure logs.

I have similar problem; none of my tab sessions are shown after i closed them, it disappears from the tab search, and nothing is stored in the "Agent Sessions" menu.

I can't reproduce this on Mac... @chr1syy would you mind taking a look at this?

[chr1syy]

Couldn't reproduce yet, but i'll investigate further.

Seeing similar, though in the MacOS desktop version. Clicking the session ID pills which should open session chats doesn't. Further I can't search for that session in search either.

[pedramamini]

@danieliser can you do a screen grab of the specific component you're referring to? are you running 0.14.5 or are you trying the latest RC build?

[danieliser]

I tried the latest build and had same issue, but here are the screens

Clicking in the History sidebar view does nothing, no console errors either. Clicking in the modal changes icon to check and copies the session ID to clipboard, but can't search history for this one either.

I think I've narrowed it to non-git project folder. The folder in question has a series of smaller git backed projects its doing the same processes for.

I can find the sessions in Claudia but that is never fun to use.

@pedramamini Side question as I didn't find it in docs, but did find one issue on here mentioning it, is there a way to disable the auto-commit on every change? Not typically how we do things, a bit awkward to review quickly outside dedicated PR viewers.

[danieliser]

It seems the same no-action-on-click issue applies to the Unread message indicator next to session tabs for non-git projects/agents.

Yes there absolutely is. In the auto one panel, you're choosing the documents to run but there's also a prompt that outer prompt that is run with every single task. The default is sane. And there's a section in there that talks about Git commits. You know change that thing to your heart's content and it does save. And if you save the playbook or export the playbook, it carries with it as well

[pedramamini]

@danieliser I'm wondering if it's a permission issue potentially. The session list is actually pulled from the provider. Claude Code for example stores them in ~/.claude/projects. What we do in Maestro is simply map those GUIDs to a name, assuming that you renamed the tab. Now Claude Code and I assume other providers do age out these sessions after some time but that should not be the issue that you're describing.

Can you ping me on Discord, let's find a time to screen share. I'm surprised by the comment on the unread message indicator too. Being that you're on Mac, this should work.

I have this notification constantly, no matter what.

@danieliser is the behavior you originally logged still happening?
