Changelog

v0.4.0

Fix keybindings — ctrl-d is delete, ctrl-x is purge empty (help text and README were swapped)
Project view keybinds — ctrl-d delete project, ctrl-x purge all empty chats globally, ctrl-e open explorer
Root guard — skip-permissions toggle blocked with warning when running as root
Cross-platform explorer — ctrl-e now uses xdg-open on native Linux, open on macOS (previously crashed outside WSL)
Empty count in header — chat view shows how many empty sessions exist in the current project
Scanning indicator — global purge shows "Scanning all projects..." during scan
Code cleanup — removed dead preview functions, fixed variable shadowing, centralized skip-permissions flag via _build_cmd()

AI summaries — ctrl-s toggles Gemini-powered short summaries (3-6 words) in place of the full first message. Summaries are cached permanently in ~/.claude/claude-chats-summaries.json and generated in parallel (4 workers) with progress display
New project folder — ctrl-f in the project view prompts for a path, creates the directory, and launches Claude there
Smart path resolution — project directory decoding now walks the real filesystem to correctly handle paths with hyphens, underscores, and spaces (fixes resume failures on Windows system paths like C:\ProgramData\Packages\...)
Session cwd extraction — resume reads the real working directory from the session file instead of relying on lossy path decoding
--set-key — CLI flag to set/update the Gemini API key (~/.gemini_api_key)
Split into .claude-chats.py (cross-platform Python) + claude-chats (bash wrapper)

Resume chats — press enter to resume any conversation in Claude Code
Skip permissions toggle — ctrl-p toggles --dangerously-skip-permissions flag
New session — ctrl-n starts a new Claude session from both project and chat views
Cross-platform — Windows support via .bat wrapper
