User description

Items 2 and 3 of the multi-account work, together — --account is untestable until the ledger records the data it filters on.

The problem

CLI transcripts carry no account field. I scanned every distinct top-level key across a full transcript — 40 of them, not one identity. So nothing could say whose a session was, and unlike a title or a date it cannot be reconstructed later. Recording has to happen at capture time or not at all.

Two sources, ranked

Collapsing these would be exactly the quiet lie RecordedBy's doc comment is named to avoid, so they stay distinct and the rank is explicit:

Source Confidence Coverage
desktop Ground truth — Desktop files each sidecar under claude-code-sessions/<accountUuid>/<organizationUuid>/, so the path is the account Sessions opened through Desktop — measured at 3% of a real staged tree
sync Inference — the account the syncing machine was logged in as when it first recorded the row Everything else

The inference is right for the ordinary case (you sync the machine you work on) and wrong if you switched accounts between running and syncing, or if the machine restored another's transcripts and staged them as its own. Hence:

  • Higher rank upgrades lower. Equal ranks never overwrite, so the first sync to attribute a session wins and no later sync can relabel it.
  • An upgrade forces a write even for a byte-identical transcript. A session ends and its transcript never changes again, so a sidecar arriving later would otherwise have no occasion to correct the guess.
  • No live account leaves rows unattributed. An empty account is honest; a guessed one is not.

search --account

clauderig search "the auth refactor" --account work

Accepts an alias, an email, or an accountUuid prefix (≥8 hex, ambiguity is an error). Names resolve through the account store and the device registry — the uuid is the join key because that is what both attribution sources actually carry; an email is only ever a label people type.

An unresolvable name is an error listing what is known, not an empty result: "no sessions for that account" and "there is no such account" are opposite answers and only one means the search worked. Sessions with no recorded account are counted and named in the footer rather than silently dropped — they are permanently unmatchable, not just absent from this run.

Verification

Beyond unit tests, run against a copy of a real 683-row staging repo:

by account: 456fc32e… → 558   03d1c0c9… → 24   (none) → 101
by source :      sync → 556      desktop → 26    (none) → 101

The 24 are the result that matters: they belong to the other account and were caught by Desktop ground truth, despite the live login being the first account the whole time. A live-login-only design would have mislabelled every one of them. The 101 unattributed rows belong to another machine's ledger file and were correctly left alone.

New tests cover: rank/stickiness in all four directions, sidecar-upgrades-unchanged-transcript, both sidecar tree layouts (machine-wide and profile data/), no-live-account, filter matching, case-insensitivity, and unknown/ambiguous/short-prefix resolution.

Full suite and go vet green.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches sync ledger semantics, restore write paths, and backup of ~/.claude.json (may contain MCP secrets locally); mistakes could mislabel sessions or skip/clobber paths during restore, but changes are heavily tested and scoped to attribution and symlink edge cases.

Overview
Adds per-session account attribution at sync time and clauderig search --account to filter on it, plus backup/restore/symlink fixes so shared-memory links and identity files are handled safely.

Attribution pipeline: Sync reads LiveIdentity() once from ~/.claude.json (three identity fields only) and stamps ledger rows with Desktop sidecar path as ground truth (desktop) or the syncing machine’s login as inference (sync). Higher rank upgrades lower; equal ranks stay sticky. The device registry stores the same identity slice on each Touch. Ledger union merges attribution by rank, not recency.

Search: --account resolves alias, email, or UUID prefix via ledger + registry; unknown names error with hints; sessions without attribution are excluded but counted in the footer. Incompatible with --live/--raw/--all.

Safety: macOS keychain reads decode security(1) hex blobs; pre-restore backup recreates symlinks, copies ~/.claude.json, preserves modes, and refuses existing/dangling backup paths with Lstat/O_EXCL. Allowlist skips directory symlinks as files; restore skips writes under existing symlinks; sync retires stale staged placeholders when live path is a directory.

Generated description

Record Claude Code account ownership at sync time by combining Desktop sidecar ground truth with the syncing machine’s identity, then expose that attribution through alias, email, and UUID-based search --account filtering. Harden keychain decoding, backup creation, symlink handling, permission preservation, and restore reconciliation to prevent credential exposure or writes through shared-memory links.

Summary by cubic

Sessions now record which account they belong to, clauderig search --account filters on it, and restore no longer fails when a worktree's memory/ symlink points at a shared directory.

Account attribution

  • Each synced session gets an accountUuid from two ranked sources: Desktop sidecar paths are ground truth, and the syncing machine's login is a fallback inference.
  • Higher rank upgrades lower; equal ranks are sticky, so re-syncing under another login or machine can't relabel a session.
  • --account accepts an alias, email, or accountUuid prefix (names resolve through the account store and the device registry) and errors on unknown names; unattributed sessions are counted in the footer, not dropped.
  • Sessions synced before this change carry no attribution and never can — CLI transcripts don't record an account.

Restore and backup hardening

  • Restore skips any file whose destination, or an ancestor of it, is an existing symlink, so staged files can't write through a shared-memory link; stale 0-byte placeholders from older syncs are retired.
  • The pre-restore backup recreates symlinks as links rather than following them, and now also copies ~/.claude.json, preserving permissions and refusing any pre-existing destination.
  • Reading the keychain credential now decodes security(1)'s hex fallback output.

Written for commit fe1196c. Summary will update on new commits.

A worktree slug links memory/ at its main project. Three paths mishandled
that link, and together they made `clauderig restore` abort with
"open ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory: is a directory".

- allowlist.Walk offered a directory symlink as a file whenever its target
  wasn't in the synced set (link recordable only when both ends are
  included). Reading it can only ever fail with EISDIR, and an older sync
  staged a 0-byte placeholder in its place. A directory is never a file:
  return regardless of whether the Link was recorded.

- engine restore copied staged files with os.OpenFile(dst, O_WRONLY|…),
  which follows a symlink — clobbering the link's target, or failing with
  EISDIR when it points at a directory. Skip a dst that is already a
  symlink: it is the machine's own state, the same rule restoreLinks
  applies. Counted as LinksKept, and marked written so --prune keeps it.

- copyTree (the --backup copy) followed links too, so backing up a
  ~/.claude with dozens of memory links either duplicated every linked
  tree or failed on the first one. Recreate links verbatim, like cp -R.

reconcileStagedRoot now also retires a staged file whose live counterpart
is a directory, so repos carrying the old 0-byte placeholders heal on the
next sync instead of handing the file back every restore.

Each test fails without its fix, reproducing the reported EISDIR verbatim.

Nothing in a synced tree said which account its sessions came from. CLI
transcripts carry no account field at all — 40 distinct keys, not one of
them identity — so a restore could not attribute what it wrote. Desktop's
sidecars are already partitioned by path
(claude-code-sessions/<accountUuid>/<organizationUuid>/); the CLI side had
no equivalent.

Sync now stamps the device registry with the account it ran as: accountUuid,
organizationUuid, email, and nothing else. The same block holds the plan,
the seat/rate-limit tier and the org name — none of which belong in a repo,
and none of which travel. A sync that cannot read the identity keeps the
previous record rather than erasing it: failing to read is not evidence of
a switch. The uuids survive the secret tripwire by construction (its
entropy backstop strips embedded UUIDs, and an email fails its token
charset), so this cannot start failing syncs.

`restore --backup` now also copies ~/.claude.json. It holds the oauthAccount
block and lives OUTSIDE ~/.claude, so the tree copy missed the one file a
bad account switch can ruin and nothing can reconstruct. It stays a local
.bak, never synced: mcpServers.*.headers / .env are free-form passthrough
and do carry live credentials.

copyOne now preserves the source mode. ~/.claude is full of 0600 transcripts
and the identity file is 0600 too; os.Create widened every one of them to
0644, so the act of backing the data up was what exposed it.

…edential

`account doctor` reported "credential unreadable: parse credential: invalid
character 'b' after top-level value", and `account list` surfaced that as a
desync. Neither was true: the credential was intact and both halves agreed.

`security find-generic-password -w` prints the password as text, EXCEPT when
the blob holds a byte it won't print inline — a newline is enough — in which
case it prints the whole thing as hex digits, with no flag saying which form
you got. Claude Code writes the credential as pretty-printed JSON, so the
live item is multi-line and reads back hex; clauderig writes compact JSON,
so its own per-profile items read back as text. That is why only the machine
-wide login broke, and only after Claude Code rewrote it.

Handing the hex form to a JSON parser fails on '{' (0x7b): 7 parses as a
top-level number, then 'b' is trailing garbage — the exact reported error.

readKeychain now decodes the fallback. The forms cannot be confused: a
credential is JSON and starts with '{', never a hex digit, so all-hex output
is unambiguously encoded. Anything that does not cleanly decode is returned
untouched — a reader that guessed wrong must not corrupt a good blob.

Verified against the live keychain: doctor now reports "✓ both halves agree".

CLI transcripts carry no account field — 40 distinct top-level keys, not one
of them identity — so nothing could say whose a session was, and it cannot
be reconstructed after the fact. The ledger is the right home: it is the one
part of the repo retention never prunes.

Attribution has two sources, ranked, because they differ sharply in
confidence and collapsing them would be exactly the quiet lie RecordedBy is
named to avoid:

  desktop  GROUND TRUTH. Desktop files each session's sidecar under
           claude-code-sessions/<accountUuid>/<organizationUuid>/, so the
           path IS the account. Covers only sessions opened through Desktop
           — measured at 3% of a real staged tree.
  sync     INFERENCE. The account the syncing machine was logged in as when
           it first recorded the row. Right for the ordinary case, wrong if
           you switched accounts between running and syncing, or if this
           machine restored another's transcripts and staged them as its own.

A higher rank may upgrade a lower one; equal ranks never overwrite, so the
first sync to attribute a session wins and no later sync can relabel it. An
upgrade also forces a write for a byte-identical transcript — a session ends
and its transcript never changes again, so a sidecar arriving later would
otherwise have no occasion to correct the guess.

No live account (logged out, unreadable) leaves rows unattributed. An empty
account is honest; a guessed one is not.

`clauderig search --account <alias|email|uuid-prefix>` filters on it,
resolving names through the account store and the device registry (which
records both halves since the previous commit). An unresolvable name is an
error listing what IS known, because "no sessions for that account" and "no
such account" are opposite answers. Sessions with no recorded account are
counted and named in the footer rather than silently dropped: they are
permanently unmatchable, not merely absent from this run.

Verified against a copy of a real 683-row staging repo: 558 sessions
attributed to the live account by inference, 24 to the OTHER account by
Desktop ground truth — the 24 that a live-login-only design would have
mislabelled — and 101 rows belonging to another machine's ledger correctly
left alone.

The earlier commit message on this branch said allowlist.Walk "offered a
directory symlink as a file whenever its target wasn't in the synced set".
That is wrong. #196 (4ada1ea, 2026-08-18) added the whole symlink block
including its `return nil`, so Walk has never fallen through to Match for a
directory symlink. The change to allowlist.go in this branch was a comment
and nothing else.

What that means for the bug: the 0-byte placeholders in staging predate
that guard rather than being produced by current sync, which is what
reconcileStagedRoot exists to retire. The two real code fixes — restore's
copyFile writing through a symlink, and copyTree following one — are
unaffected, as are their tests.

The comment is reworded to explain why the return is load-bearing without
implying current code caused the residue.

…le identity

Two findings from review, both verified against the code before fixing.

The symlink guard only inspected the leaf. A machine holding a project as a
real directory stages projects/<slug>/memory/MEMORY.md; restoring that
descendant here followed the linked memory/ straight into the canonical
project and replaced its content. A test reproduces it — the canonical
MEMORY.md came back as the worktree's copy — and now every ancestor up to
the target root is checked, cached per directory so the walk costs one Lstat
per directory rather than one per component per file.

backupIdentityFile treated EVERY os.Stat error as "no identity file" and
skipped silently. Absent is fine and stays silent; unreadable or an I/O
error now fails, because that is the moment the one file this backup exists
for is least certain and least replaceable.

Also makes the permission test platform-honest. It asserted a literal 0600,
which cannot hold on Windows — no Unix mode bits there, Go reports 0666 and
Chmod only toggles read-only — so CI failed for a reason unrelated to the
code. It now asserts the property (the backup carries the source's mode) and
keeps the 0600 check where the bits are real.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
filepath.Rel returns "..memory" unchanged for a directory of that name, so
the bare '..' prefix test called it outside the root and returned before
isSymlink ever ran — writing a staged descendant straight through the live
link. Only ".." itself, or a path below it, is actually outside.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both existing-backup checks used os.Stat, which FOLLOWS a symlink. A
dangling link at ~/.claude.bak or ~/.claude.json.bak therefore reported
"not present", the safeguard passed, and the copy wrote through the link to
whatever it named. For the identity file that is ~/.claude.json — which can
carry MCP server credentials in mcpServers.*.headers — written somewhere
never intended.

Both now share backupPathIsFree, which uses Lstat so any existing entry,
link included, is a refusal, and stops on a lookup error rather than
guessing the path is free.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
backupPathIsFree and the write are two moments. A symlink planted in between
was still FOLLOWED by an O_CREATE|O_TRUNC open, overwriting its target — for
the identity file, one that can carry MCP credentials. Checking harder could
only narrow that window, never close it.

copyOne now opens with O_CREATE|O_EXCL and no O_TRUNC, so the create itself
fails on any existing entry, a dangling symlink included. Every destination
is a path nothing should hold yet, so nothing legitimate is refused.

… file

Note() enforced the attribution ranking within one device's ledger file, but
LoadAll — where two files meet — selected purely by End then Seen. A machine
that later re-saw the same transcript with no sidecar therefore replaced
another machine's Desktop ground truth with its own inference simply by
having synced last, defeating the guarantee across exactly the boundary it
was meant to hold at. The union now takes the rest of the row from the newer
sighting and the attribution from the higher rank.

recordLedger judges "would this improve things?" against every device's
ledger too, so it stops writing a weaker guess the union would discard —
which was a rewritten row, and a commit, every sync.

The older-twin upgrade branch now stamps Seen. It IS a rewrite, and a stale
stamp both misreports when the attribution was last confirmed and skews the
Seen tiebreak in that same union.

Also: keep()'s doc claimed a missing cwd was separately identified when it is
reported as an ordinary filter miss; --account was absent from the long help
and undocumented as incompatible with --live; and the "everything was
excluded" hint named a fixed --since/--until/--cwd list, sending the user to
widen the wrong flag when --account was responsible.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ice tie

Four findings from review, all verified against the code first.

The union ranked attribution but tied wrong. mergeAccount keeps its FIRST
argument on equal rank, and the caller's first argument is the newer row, so
two sync-rank rows resolved to the LATER device's account — meaning a second
machine recording an already-staged transcript under its own live login
relabelled the session on a routine sync. That is precisely the relabelling
Note() refuses locally, so the stickiness promise still failed across the
boundary it was extended to cover. bestAccount now takes rank first and, on
a tie, the earlier sighting.

--account slipped past the --raw/--all guard when it was the only filter set:
the check tested sc.account, which is populated further down, so
`--account X --raw` passed and then returned matches the account filter never
touched. It tests the flag instead.

Prefix resolution only searched accounts the ledger had attributed, so a uuid
the device registry knows but that has no rows yet answered "unknown account"
— collapsing the exact distinction between "no such account" and "no sessions
for it" that this resolver exists to keep. Registry uuids are candidates too.

The live identity was read twice, once for the ledger and once for the device
registry. A login change (or one transiently failing read) between them would
stamp rows with one uuid and the registry with another — and the registry is
what resolves an alias or email back to that uuid, so the two disagreeing
breaks `search --account` for those rows. Read once, reuse for both.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Claude account identity tracking, ranked ledger attribution, account-based search filtering, macOS Keychain decoding, and symlink-safe backup, restore, and synchronization behavior.

Changes

Account identity and session attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity and device contracts
internal/clauderig/account/*, internal/clauderig/devices/*, internal/clauderig/commands/sync.go
The code reads live account identity, decodes macOS Keychain output, stores three identity fields in device records, and preserves prior identity when none is available.
Ranked ledger attribution
internal/clauderig/engine/{sidecar.go,ledger.go,sync.go}, internal/clauderig/ledger/ledger.go, internal/clauderig/{engine,ledger}/*_test.go
Synchronization records Desktop or live-account attribution. Ledger merges prefer Desktop attribution and retain equal-ranked earlier attribution.
Account-filtered search
internal/clauderig/commands/{search.go,search_account.go,search_scope.go}, internal/clauderig/commands/search_account_test.go
Search resolves account aliases, emails, registry records, and UUID prefixes. It filters sessions and reports unattributed sessions separately.

Symlink-safe backup and synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Safe backup creation
internal/clauderig/commands/restore.go, internal/clauderig/commands/backup_links_test.go
Backups reject occupied paths, preserve permissions, use exclusive creation, and recreate symlinks without following them.
Symlink-safe restore reconciliation
internal/clauderig/allowlist/allowlist.go, internal/clauderig/engine/{restore.go,sync.go}, internal/clauderig/engine/links_test.go
Allowlist, restore, and staged-root reconciliation avoid symlink destinations and ancestors. Restore reports retained links, and reconciliation removes staged files shadowed by live directories or directory symlinks.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fe119

Restore backups can fail to preserve the previous state when the CLI target is a symlink, leaving recovery data pointing at the live target instead of capturing its contents; reported lint failures also need cleanup. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Preserve backups when cliTarget is a symlink.

When cliTarget is itself a symlink, filepath.WalkDir reports the root with fs.ModeSymlink. copyTree then calls copyLink and creates .bak as another link to the live target instead of copying its contents. The backup does not preserve the pre-restore state. Resolve the root before WalkDir, or reject symlinked sources with a clear error.

Silence the nilerr finding explicitly.

golangci-lint reports nilerr at Line 292: the function returns nil while err is non-nil. The behavior is intentional and documented, so the lint run is what breaks, not the logic. Add a //nolint:nilerr directive with the reason so the linter agrees with the comment.

 	if err != nil {

Use accountFilter in the empty-flag assertion.

Line 160 compares two identical string literals. This expression is always false and triggers SA4000. Reset accountFilter before this assertion, then compare that variable to "".

P1 Badge Preserve attribution time across ledger merges

When three or more device ledgers contain equal-rank account guesses, this comparison can discard the earliest attribution because LoadAll copies an older account onto the newer transcript row without copying the older Seen value. For example, rows seen at 100/A, 300/B, and 200/C are processed as A then B (yielding account A with Seen=300) and then C, at which point this condition incorrectly selects C. Thus ordinary multi-device syncs can relabel sessions depending on ledger filename order; the account attribution needs its own preserved timestamp or equivalent merge state.

P1 Badge Retain mappings for previously synced accounts

When one machine syncs under account A and later under account B, this assignment replaces the device's only A identity with B. Ledger rows attributed to A remain, but resolveAccountFilter can map aliases/emails to UUIDs only through the current device registry, so search --account <alias-for-A> now errors that no machine recorded A's UUID even though A's sessions are present. This is the normal single-machine multi-account flow, so the registry needs to retain historical account mappings rather than only the last one per device.

P2 Badge Disambiguate accounts sharing an email

The account store explicitly supports the same email in different organizations as distinct accounts, but this map collapses every such registry entry onto one email key. Consequently an alias that resolves to the second account is converted back through the shared email and can select the other UUID (with the winner also depending on map iteration), causing --account to return the wrong organization's sessions. Preserve organization/account identity in this lookup and reject a bare ambiguous email rather than overwriting one UUID.

P2 Badge Validate both backup destinations before copying

If the CLI tree's .bak path is free but ~/.claude.json.bak already exists, this call discovers the conflict only after the entire CLI tree has been copied. The command then returns with a newly created partial backup state, and a retry immediately fails because that CLI .bak now exists too. Check the identity backup destination before starting either copy so a pre-existing identity backup does not leave the restore wedged behind a potentially large tree backup.

P1 Badge Attribute only transcripts captured by this machine

recordLedger walks the combined staging tree, which explicitly contains every machine's transcripts, but this fallback stamps every sidecar-less row with the current machine's live account. On the first upgraded sync, or whenever another device contributed an unattributed transcript, those remote sessions are therefore assigned to the syncing user's account; because equal-rank sync attribution is sticky, later syncs cannot repair the mistake. Apply the live-account inference only to transcripts proven to have come from this machine's live root rather than to the shared staged union.

P2 Badge Preserve symlink ancestors during prune

With restore --prune, a staged file such as skills/foo/SKILL.md whose local skills/foo is a directory symlink is skipped here and only the descendant is marked in written. pruneConfigDirs does not follow directory symlinks, so it later visits the skills/foo link itself, finds no written["skills/foo"], and removes the local symlink despite this guard's promise to preserve it. Mark each encountered symlink ancestor as written or make the prune pass explicitly retain those links.

Backup copies root symlink, not tree

High Severity

The new backup walk recreates every symlink, including the tree root. If ~/.claude itself is a symlink, copyTree writes ~/.claude.bak as another link to the same target and does not copy any files. Restore then reports a successful backup and overwrites the only real tree; the .bak still points at that overwritten data. Previously copyOne failed with EISDIR and restore did not proceed.

Duplicate sidecars overwrite account mapping

Medium Severity

readSidecarAccounts stores one account per CLI session and last write wins. The same cliSessionId can appear under two Desktop trees (machine-wide and a profile data/ tree, or two profiles), and ReadDir order then picks an arbitrary account as ground truth. That value is rank-2 and sticky, so search --account can permanently keep the wrong owner.

Partial identity replaces stored account

Medium Severity

A non-nil devices.Account always replaces the registry entry, and sync builds one when any of uuid, org, or email is set. LiveIdentity can return an email (or org) with an empty uuid if oauthAccount is only partly populated. That wipes the previous complete record. accountUUIDsByEmail then skips the device, so --account by email or alias fails until a later full login rewrite.
