feat(clauderig): open a Claude Code session in Desktop - #1
Conversation
`desktop open --session <id|text>` hands a CLI session to Claude Desktop,
turning "find it with clauderig search" into "open it there".
The deep link is claude://resume?session=<uuid>. Extracted from Claude
Desktop 2.x's URL dispatcher and confirmed live against the running app:
the handler takes exactly one parameter, requires a uuid, and calls
importCliSession with it. Anything else is dropped as "missing or invalid
session" with no visible effect, so the uuid check happens here instead of
being discovered there.
It extends `desktop open` rather than adding a verb because the profile is
half the answer: Desktop partitions Code sessions by account
(claude-code-sessions/<accountUuid>/<organizationUuid>/), so which window
receives a session matters as much as which session.
What it cannot promise, and says so:
- A URL is routed by SCHEME, not per instance. With a second profile open
the OS decides which imports the session, so that case prints a warning
naming the other profile. Staying silent would make a session landing in
the wrong account look like a bug in the session.
- With NO instance running, the OS resolves claude:// by launching the
machine-wide install — the wrong profile entirely. So a just-launched
profile is waited for (WaitRunning) before the link is sent, and a
profile that never comes up is an error, not a link fired into the void.
Resolution: a uuid resolves to itself, anything else matches sidecar titles
and — for the ~97% of sessions with no sidecar — the transcript's first
prompt, the same fallback title search shows. Several matches get a picker
on a terminal and, off one, an error listing ids to re-run with; it never
picks for you. Resolution happens BEFORE any window is touched, so a
reference matching nothing costs nothing.
The transcript must be in the live ~/.claude/projects, because that is where
Desktop reads it from — checked here so it is a clear message rather than a
toast in the app.

Short IDs from picker cannot resolve
High Severity
Off a terminal, several matches tell the user to re-run naming one of the listed ids, but those are shortID prefixes. findSessions only treats a full UUID as an id and otherwise searches title and sidecar cwd, never the session id, so following that instruction fails to find the session.

Session sent despite ambiguous routing
High Severity
When another Desktop profile is already open, warnAmbiguousRouting prints a warning and OpenURL still sends the claude://resume link. Deep links are routed by scheme, not instance, so the session can be imported into the wrong account while the command reports success. The warning also runs after the target window is launched or focused, so there is no chance to stop the send.

Default Desktop instance is invisible
High Severity
warnAmbiguousRouting only looks at saved profiles via Running(dataDir). The profile-less Claude Desktop (no --user-data-dir) matches no data dir, so it is never counted. Opening a session with the target profile plus the main app raises no objection, and the deep link can still land in the default account.

Blank session flag matches every transcript
Medium Severity
A whitespace-only --session value is treated as a search. After trim the needle is empty, and strings.Contains is true for every title, so every live transcript matches and the user gets a full-store picker or a huge id dump.

Project search ignores transcript cwd
Medium Severity
--session is documented as matching title or project, and the displayed project comes from cwdFor (sidecar cwd, else the transcript). Matching only inspects sidecar m.Cwd, which is empty for sessions with no sidecar, so searching by the shown project name misses those sessions.

Match the project against the resolved cwd, not the sidecar cwd only.
Line 136 matches m.Cwd. That field is empty for a session with no sidecar, which is the majority case the comment above describes. The candidate stored on line 139 still uses cwdFor(m, p), so the picker shows a project that text search cannot reach. The flag help says text matches "its title or project", so project search silently fails for CLI-only sessions.
Compute the cwd once and match against it.

for id, p := range live {
m := idx[id]
title := titleFor(m, p)

Go os/exec Windows cmd.exe /c argument quoting metacharacter injection
💡 Result:
In Go, using the os/exec package to execute commands on Windows poses a significant risk of argument injection when the command is cmd.exe, a batch file (.bat), or a command file (.cmd) [1][2][3]. The core issue arises from a discrepancy in how command-line arguments are parsed. Go’s os/exec package typically quotes arguments using an algorithm compatible with CommandLineToArgvW, which is the standard for most Windows applications [2][4]. However, cmd.exe and batch scripts use a different, incompatible unquoting algorithm that does not recognize standard escape sequences (like ") and treats the caret (^) as an escape character [3]. Because Windows processes receive the entire command line as a single raw string rather than a parsed array, this mismatch allows a malicious actor who can control the arguments passed to a command to inject arbitrary metacharacters—such as & (command chaining), <, >, or |—thereby executing unintended commands or achieving arbitrary code execution [3]. To mitigate this risk: 1. Avoid cmd.exe and batch files: Whenever possible, avoid executing shell scripts or cmd.exe directly from Go [1][3]. Executing native binaries (e.g.,.exe files) directly is safer because they typically follow standard CommandLineToArgvW parsing rules [2][4]. 2. Manual Quoting and SysProcAttr.CmdLine: For cases where you must execute cmd.exe or batch files, the os/exec package documentation recommends that you perform the quoting manually to match cmd.exe's specific rules and provide the full, formatted command line string via the SysProcAttr.CmdLine field, leaving the Args field empty [2][4]. 3. Principle of Least Privilege: Ensure the application runs with the minimum necessary permissions to limit the impact if an injection vulnerability is exploited. The Go team has acknowledged this issue, and it remains a documented caveat when working with the os/exec package on Windows [1][3]. Always validate or sanitize any user-supplied input before passing it to an external command [5].

site:pkg.go.dev/os/exec Windows cmd.exe batch files special quoting CommandLineToArgvW
💡 Result:
In the Windows environment, command-line parsing is performed individually by each process [1]. While many applications utilize the CommandLineToArgvW function to parse their command lines, cmd.exe and batch files follow a distinct and separate unquoting algorithm [1]. Because cmd.exe and batch files do not adhere to the CommandLineToArgvW convention, standard quoting methods designed for that function are often insufficient or incorrect when targeting batch scripts [1]. Applications that correctly implement the CommandLineToArgvW parsing standard typically handle backslashes and double quotes in a specific way: - Backslashes are interpreted literally unless they precede a double quote. - A double quote preceded by an even number of backslashes is treated as a delimiter that toggles the quote state. - A double quote preceded by an odd number of backslashes is treated as a literal character. In contrast, cmd.exe uses its own internal logic to process arguments, which is generally less predictable and varies depending on the command being executed. When a process needs to invoke cmd.exe or a batch file, it is often necessary to manually construct the command line string to ensure arguments are interpreted correctly by the script [1]. In programming contexts, this is often accomplished by passing the full command line string directly to the operating system rather than relying on automated argument-quoting libraries, which are typically tuned for CommandLineToArgvW [1].
Citations:
Do not claim argv isolation for cmd.exe.
exec.Command serializes the arguments into one Windows command line, but cmd.exe uses parsing rules that differ from CommandLineToArgvW. A separate rawurl argument does not guarantee shell metacharacters remain data. Require callers to pass validated claude:// URLs with percent-encoded dynamic components; resumeDeepLink currently uses url.QueryEscape. Otherwise, invoke the protocol handler without cmd.exe.

Refuse ambiguous Desktop routing by default.
When another Desktop profile is running, the deep link is routed by scheme rather than to the named profile. The current path only warns and then sends the URL, so the session can be imported into the wrong account while the command implies that the requested profile received it.
Return an error before focusing, launching, or sending when routing is ambiguous. Add an explicit --anyway bypass for callers that accept OS-selected routing, and avoid claiming that the named profile received the session on that path. The profile-less default Desktop instance must also be included in the ambiguity check.

Propagate process-scan failures from WaitRunning.
When a.Running returns an error, this loop treats the error as “not running,” retries until the deadline, and returns false. The caller then reports that Desktop did not start, although the process scan may have failed instead.
Preserve the last scan error or return an error result so the caller can distinguish a timeout from an inspection failure.

When another managed profile is running, warnAmbiguousRouting only prints a warning and the next line unconditionally sends the deep link. Because these URLs are routed by scheme rather than to the focused instance, the session can be imported into the other profile's account while the command reports success; this path should refuse before focusing or launching anything unless the user explicitly opts into ambiguous routing.

When the ordinary machine-wide Claude Desktop instance is already open, st.List() contains only clauderig-managed profiles, and warnAmbiguousRouting consequently never checks that profile-less process. Since OpenURL is still handled globally, the session can land in the ordinary Desktop account without even producing the ambiguity warning; the routing guard needs to detect the default instance separately.

In a non-interactive invocation with multiple matches, the error instructs the user to rerun with one of the listed IDs but prints only shortID(c.ID). findSessions accepts an ID directly only when it is a complete UUID and otherwise searches titles and cwd, so copying the displayed eight-character value normally produces “no session matches” instead of resolving the candidate; print the full UUID or support unique ID prefixes.

For a CLI-only session without a Desktop sidecar, m.Cwd is empty even though the transcript contains its cwd. The filter therefore rejects a --session reference matching that project before cwdFor(m, p) is called on the next lines, contradicting the command's advertised title-or-project lookup for the majority of sidecarless sessions; derive the transcript cwd before applying this predicate.

When a title longer than 58 bytes contains multibyte UTF-8 near the cutoff, t[:57] can split a rune and produce invalid UTF-8 in the picker and success output. This affects ordinary emoji, accented, and CJK titles; count and slice runes rather than bytes, as the existing first-prompt truncation already does.

When Running starts returning an error after Launch—for example because pgrep or PowerShell process inspection is unavailable—WaitRunning silently retries for the full 20-second timeout and reports that Desktop did not start. This loses the actionable scan error and conflates an unknown state with a confirmed absence, unlike IsRunning; return the process-scan failure so the command can stop immediately with the real cause.

When an existing session UUID is supplied with different letter casing from its transcript filename, the regex accepts it as a valid UUID but the exact map lookup fails because live is keyed case-sensitively. Thus an uppercase spelling of a normally lowercase UUID is reported as absent even though the deep-link format explicitly accepts uppercase hex; normalize UUIDs for lookup or compare keys case-insensitively.

When ~/.claude/projects exists but cannot be read because of permissions or an I/O failure, liveTranscripts turns that failure into an empty index. Every valid lookup then produces the misleading “no session on this machine” error and may send the user toward restore even though the local sessions are merely inaccessible; distinguish a missing directory from other ReadDir errors and propagate the latter.

When --session contains only whitespace, sessionRef != "" enters resolution but trimming produces an empty needle; strings.Contains then matches every title and cwd. If there is only one live transcript, the command silently imports that unrelated session without presenting a picker, so a blank query should be rejected before searching.

Short session IDs cannot be resolved
High Severity
findSessions treats only a full UUID as an id. Any other reference is substring-matched against titles and sidecar cwd, never against the session id itself. Off a terminal, pickSession then tells the user to re-run with the listed short ids, and search also displays those same prefixes. Re-running with one of them finds nothing, so the documented search-then-open path cannot disambiguate.

Deep link sent despite competing profiles
High Severity
warnAmbiguousRouting only prints a warning, then OpenURL still fires. A claude:// link is routed by scheme, not by instance, so with another profile open the OS may import the session into the wrong account. The command still reports success, and there is no --anyway opt-in or refusal before the send.

Default Desktop instance ignored in routing
High Severity
warnAmbiguousRouting only scans saved profiles via Running(dataDir). The profile-less Claude Desktop is started with no --user-data-dir, so that scan can never see it. With the target profile plus the main app both open, no warning is raised and the deep link can still be delivered to the default window.

Project text ignores transcript cwd
Medium Severity
Non-UUID --session text is matched against the sidecar title or first prompt and m.Cwd only. For the majority of sessions with no sidecar, m.Cwd is empty, so a project name never matches even though cwdFor later reads the transcript cwd to display it. The flag advertises matching by project.

Item 4 of the multi-account work: turn "find a session with

Extracted from Claude Desktop 2.x's URL dispatcher:
claude://resume?session=<uuid>— one parameter, must be a UUID. Confirmed live with a nonexistent id, which logged the full path without creating anything:That also proves Desktop reads the transcript from the live
~/.claude/projects— so this checks there and gives a real error instead of an in-app toast.Why it extends
desktop openrather than adding a verbThe profile is half the answer. Desktop partitions Code sessions by account (
claude-code-sessions/<accountUuid>/<organizationUuid>/), so which window receives a session matters as much as which session.The routing problem — found by running it, not by reasoning about it
The first version warned and sent anyway. Then:
The session was imported into
relatecpa. The new sidecar landed under relatecpa's accountUuid at 14:45:02, while the output named brightshore.A URL is routed by scheme, not per instance: there is no per-instance address, and the
--user-data-dirflag that separates instances is a launch argument a URL can't carry. So with two profiles up the OS chooses — and warning-then-sending is how a session crosses an account boundary while the output claims otherwise.Two later runs with both profiles open settled how unpredictable this is:
Not launch order (relatecpa was the most recently launched both times) and not focus (the target is focused before sending in both). An observed coin flip — which is why this is a refusal rather than a warning.
It now refuses by default:
--anywaysends regardless, for when any window will do — and on that path the success line no longer claims the named profile received it, because that isn't knowable. The refusal happens before any window is focused or launched, so declining costs nothing.The refusal also counts the profile-less Claude Desktop — started with no
--user-data-dir, soRunning()can never see it (it matches no dataDir). That needed a separateRunningDefault(); without it, target-profile-plus-main-app raised no objection at all. Found by running the feature and noticing the refusal named one of three live windows.The other case the OS gets wrong: with no instance running it resolves
claude://by launching the machine-wide install — the wrong profile entirely. So a just-launched profile is waited for (WaitRunning) before the link is sent.Resolution
A uuid resolves to itself. Anything else matches sidecar titles and — for the ~97% of sessions with no sidecar — the transcript's first prompt, the same fallback
searchshows. Several matches get a picker on a terminal and, off one, an error listing ids; it never picks for you. Resolution happens before any window is touched.The project shown beside each title comes from the transcript's recorded cwd, not the slug:
-Users-john-Git-tweed-worktrees-grasp-lunar-cliff-claudehas nothing marking which dashes were slashes, so slug-parsing labelled every worktree "claude".Verified
End-to-end against the real app: a valid session did import successfully (that is how the routing bug surfaced). Plus unit tests for the URL shape, uuid-needs-a-live-transcript, title/first-prompt matching, ambiguity off a terminal, the no-match message, and the routing refusal.
