fix(server): imported Claude threads show prompts, not Claude Code markup - #33403
Claude Code records its own UI as user turns, and import copies them word for word. Imported threads show raw markup: slash commands and skills as <command-message>…<command-name>…<command-args>…, ! shell runs as <bash-input>/<bash-stdout>, output of local commands like /mcp as <local-command-stdout>, background task notifications as <task-notification> blocks, and [Request interrupted by user] markers. Across 1,558 of my transcripts from the last 30 days that was 2,088 task notifications, 510 shell runs, 284 commands, 138 interruptions and 81 command outputs. A thread opened with a skill is also titled after the markup, for example <command-message>pstack:poteto-mode</command-message>. Some launchers save that markup as the session's custom title too. A session that only ran /clear imports as a thread called <command-name>/clear</command-name>.
Change
Slash commands and shell runs now import as typed (/review the login flow, !npm test). Their output, task notifications and interruption markers are left out. A command names the thread by its arguments, and a bare command leaves the title to the next prompt. A saved custom or AI title that is Claude Code markup (a command, a shell run, command output) falls back to the next title source. A Claude session made only of bare commands that no reply followed, such as a lone /clear, is skipped. A bare command the agent answered, such as /review or an argument-free skill, is kept and names the thread. Claude's synthetic error replies are still imported, as before.
Scope and approval
No prior issue. This is a focused fix for an obvious display bug, since the imported text is not what the user typed or saw.
Verification
Proof: the existing Claude parser test gains one record of each kind. New table rows cover the title of a command with arguments, a bare /clear followed by a prompt, a prompt that starts with /Users/…, custom titles that are command, shell or command-output markup, a session of bare commands that is skipped, and a bare /review the agent answered that is kept. All new cases fail on main.
On real data, I dry-ran the scanner over 9 of my projects: 196 threads and 19k messages. No imported message starts with Claude Code markup and no title starts with < or [. The thread that was titled <command-message>pstack:poteto-mode</command-message> is now titled I would like to do NFCtron Shortener, for internal, organizer links…, and the one /clear-only session is no longer imported.
vp run check:changed passes, except excludes sandboxes reached through a symlink into the worktrees dir. That test also fails on main on macOS and is fixed in #33401.
This change and #33402 both touch the final check in parseAgentSessionRecords, so whichever lands second needs a one-hunk rebase. I've checked that all three PRs stacked together pass both test files.
Created with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code (T3 Code).
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Claude history imports now show readable commands and titles while excluding generated UI noise and request-free sessions. The change is confined to imported history and leaves source transcripts untouched.

Walkthrough
Claude transcript imports render slash and shell commands, omit selected UI records, and derive titles from visible requests or command arguments. Sessions without a derived title or assistant message are skipped. Tests and Projects documentation cover these behaviors.

Summary
Normalize transcript text apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionScanner.ts, apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionScanner.test.ts
Claude parsing omits recognized UI output and interruption records, renders shell input with a ! prefix, and separates visible message text from title text. Tests cover parsed command and shell text.
Derive titles and filter sessions apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionScanner.ts, apps/server/src/project/AgentSessionScanner.test.ts, docs/user/welcome-page.md
Claude title fields are normalized, and titles can come from command arguments or visible request text. Sessions without a derived title and assistant message are skipped. A bare command can supply a fallback title when an assistant reply is present. Tests and documentation cover these cases.

Imported threads can receive an unintended title from saved command markup. The issue is narrow and does not prevent import, but should be fixed or accepted before merging.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Bare <command-name> handling can import a command as visible text with no title.
claudeCommand returns { text: name, titleText: "" } for a bare command. claudeVisibleText then imports the text, for example /clear. This matches the stated intent. A command with an empty <command-name> and no <command-message> yields the text "/". The session then imports a message that contains only a slash. This is a narrow edge case.
Return null from the command text when both name sources are empty, so claudeVisibleText drops the record.
With this change, an empty name produces text such as " args". Return { text: "", titleText: "" } when name is empty and there are no args, so the record is skipped.

- Around line 328-333: Filter Claude UI-output markup from saved record.aiTitle
and record.customTitle before accepting either in the imported title fields.
Update the claudeTitle handling in this title-mapping block so markup is treated
as unusable and the next title source is used, while preserving the existing
behavior where an empty customTitle clears the title.

a saved markup custom title falls back to Title from command arguments. a real /clear-only session creates no thread. the welcome summary counts that skipped session as one thread that could not be imported.
importing again preserves existing threads without duplicates. after restarting with the existing proxy credentials, the imported claude conversation resumed and replied resumed-claude-ok.

Ignore saved command markup with arguments.
If customTitle is <command-name>/review</command-name><command-args>login flow</command-args>, claudeTitle returns "login flow". That value takes precedence over the AI and request titles, although markup-based saved titles should fall through to the next title source. Return undefined for command markup in saved titles, including commands with arguments. This is distinct from the previously addressed UI-output-title case.

…rkup
Claude Code records its own UI as user turns. Imported threads showed raw
`<command-name>…<command-args>…` markup for slash commands, `<bash-input>`
and `<bash-stdout>` for `!` shell runs, `<local-command-stdout>` output,
`<task-notification>` blocks and interruption markers. Threads opened with a
skill were titled after that markup, and a launcher can save it as the
session's custom title too.
Slash commands and shell runs now import as typed (`/review the login flow`,
`!npm test`). Their output, task notifications and interruption markers are
left out. A command names the thread by its arguments, a markup custom or AI
title falls back to the next title source, and a session of bare commands such
as `/clear` that no reply followed is skipped. A bare command the agent answered,
such as `/review`, is kept and names the thread.
