# Task: BUG: Session persistence broken after page refresh

## Current Behavior
1. Create new project named 'roman'
2. Start new chat session in the 'roman' project
3. Refresh the page
4. The new session DISAPPEARS from the project's session history/list

## Expected Behavior
After page refresh, the session should still appear in the 'roman' project's session list.

## Root Cause Identified

The bug was caused by `loadManuallyCreatedProjects()` restoring projects with STALE session arrays from localStorage. When `loadProjects()` tried to merge with fresh API data, the stale sessions would override.

Additionally, `createSessionInFolder()` was calling `initialize()` after `loadProjects()`, which would reload stale localStorage data and undo the fresh API data.

## Solution Implemented

### Fix 1: Reset sessions in loadManuallyCreatedProjects()
- Modified `loadManuallyCreatedProjects()` to reset `sessions: []` and `activeSessionId: null` for each loaded project
- This ensures sessions always come from the API (authoritative source) rather than stale localStorage data

### Fix 2: Remove redundant initialize() call
- Modified `createSessionInFolder()` to remove the `await this.initialize()` call
- Added direct `this.renderProjectTabs()` call to update UI
- This prevents reloading stale localStorage data after fetching fresh API data

## Files Modified
- /home/uroma/obsidian-web-interface/public/claude-ide/project-manager.js
  - Lines 52-87: Modified `loadManuallyCreatedProjects()`
  - Lines 542-563: Modified `createSessionInFolder()`

## Success Criteria
1. Create new project 'test'
2. Start new session in 'test' project
3. Refresh page
4. Session still appears in 'test' project's session list
5. Session is correctly displayed in left sidebar

## Status
**COMPLETE** - Fix implemented and committed (c5dbb6c)
