Pull request overview
Fixes Claude session history reconstruction when the transcript contains system/meta entries that don’t include a message field, which previously broke parent-chain traversal and caused older messages to be omitted.
Changes:
- Treat JSONL entries that have
uuid/parentUuidbut nomessageas meta/link-only nodes so they can be used for chain resolution but filtered from output. - Add a unit test covering parent-chain continuity through such system messages.
