Feature Request: Support Claude Desktop / Cowork sessions on Windows

[seb937]

Problem

CodeBurn currently supports Claude Desktop sessions on macOS (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/), but not on Windows, where the equivalent path is:

%APPDATA%\Claude\local-agent-mode-sessions\

Running npx codeburn on a Windows machine with active Cowork/Claude Desktop sessions shows zero usage — the provider doesn't scan the Windows data directory.

Expected Behavior

CodeBurn should detect and parse Claude Desktop / Cowork session data on Windows, just as it does on macOS.

Suggested Implementation

In the Claude Desktop provider, add the Windows path alongside the existing macOS one:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\local-agent-mode-sessions\
• Linux (if applicable): ~/.config/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/

This is similar to how the Cursor provider already handles cross-platform paths.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Node.js: 20+
• CodeBurn: latest (via npx codeburn)
• Claude Desktop: active Cowork sessions present at %APPDATA%\Claude\local-agent-mode-sessions\

Workaround Attempted

Setting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR to %APPDATA%\Claude — no effect, as the provider looks for projects/ subfolder structure which doesn't match Cowork's local-agent-mode-sessions/ layout.

Thanks for the detailed report, @seb937. You were right about the Windows Claude Desktop / Cowork path.

I opened #615 with a fix.

What was wrong:

• CodeBurn was discovering Claude Desktop sessions on macOS, but on Windows it was approximating the roaming profile with homedir()/AppData/Roaming.
• On Windows, the canonical location is %APPDATA%, and that can be redirected or customized.
• Setting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=%APPDATA%\Claude does not help for Cowork sessions because that code path expects the standard Claude CLI projects/ layout, while Cowork uses local-agent-mode-sessions.

What #615 changes:

• Windows now uses %APPDATA%\Claude\local-agent-mode-sessions first.
• CODEBURN_DESKTOP_SESSIONS_DIR still takes priority as an explicit override.
• If APPDATA is missing or blank, CodeBurn falls back to the previous homedir()/AppData/Roaming path.
• macOS and Linux behavior are unchanged.
• Added regression tests for APPDATA discovery, fallback behavior, and override precedence.

Validation:

npm test -- --run tests/providers/claude-config-dirs.test.ts tests/parser-claude-cwd.test.ts
npm run build

Both pass locally, and the PR checks are green. I will keep this issue open until #615 is merged, then it should close via the Fixes #611 link in the PR body.
