Closes #397.

A run with --from-date/--to-date now writes a view of its window: its index, combined pages, session pages and recent sessions page, and every link they show, come from the window. The search page says it searches the whole archive.

What the view shows

  • Master index: only the projects with a session in the window. Each card counts the window (messages, tokens, first and last message), and lists only the window's sessions, under their usual titles.
  • Session pages: one for each session with a message in the window, and the index links exactly those. One function, window_session_ids, decides both, and also the check below: a trunk session with a message in the window, among the sessions the index lists. A session whose first and last messages straddle the window, with none inside, is not in it. A session whose window part has no user message of its own is in it.
  • Combined pages were already window-only. The index, combined and session pages already stated the window in their title, in all three formats.
  • Recent sessions page: the window's sessions, however old, instead of those active in the last three days by the clock. Each row counts the window's part of its session, as the index does: messages and time range from the index's entry, turns, tool calls and last prompt/message read from its entries in the window. At most 60, newest by their last message in the window, as on any run. Its title and header name the window, and so does recent-data.js, for the empty-page message.
  • Search page: still searches the whole archive (it reads the cache through serve), and says so in a note naming the window. It is still written, so the index's link to it does not dangle.
  • Pages written without a window are byte-identical: test/test_snapshot_html.py passes read-only (16 snapshots), with no snapshot updated.
  • A project the window shows nothing of is not listed, and none of its pages is written. Archived projects are left out too.
  • With --no-cache the window's sessions are chosen by the same rules, from the transcripts instead of the cache's session rows: the index lists and links the same sessions, and their session pages are written. Before, a windowed --no-cache run listed none and wrote no session page. An unwindowed --no-cache run is unchanged, left for a separate change.

Where the view goes

Before writing anything, the run checks every page it is about to write:

  • the index pages (index, search.html, recent.html, recent-data.js);
  • each shown project's combined page;
  • the window's session pages.

If one exists, the run exits 1, names it, and suggests --force or another --output; for one project, where --output cannot move the session pages, --force or the combined page alone (--combined only --output), and with --combined no --force alone. Other files in the directory don't count. The vendored assets/ and referenced images are not checked: they are the same bytes in any view, so writing over them loses nothing.

--force writes over them and removes nothing. Full-view pages the window does not rewrite stay, unlinked; the new docs page shows how to clear them. --force is accepted only with a date window (a usage error otherwise), and not on the provider path (see below).

Behaviour change: re-running a date filter in place over an earlier run now needs --force. That includes a single transcript file whose output file already exists, such as a re-run over its own earlier output (claude-code-log session.jsonl --from-date today twice). The README's examples now write to a directory of their own. For one project directory, -o names the combined page and the session pages still go into the project, so its examples use --combined only -o page.html or --force. A windowed -o page.html export over a project marks the session pages it writes there stale, like any page a view replaces in place.

Render cache

  • (a) View written elsewhere: no html_cache/html_pages row is touched. Before, a view written to another directory marked the full view's rows −1, so the next plain run rebuilt pages nothing had touched.
  • (b) View written in place: the pages it replaced keep (Claude) Date-filtered runs are recorded as if they covered every message #369's −1 marking.
  • (c) Transcript rows: unchanged.
  • The master index.html has no render-cache row (the issue's open check). Every run rewrites it, as it does search.html and the recent page.

The trade

To know which sessions the window shows before writing anything, the pass refreshes each project's cache serially in the parent, before the pool. The refresh is unfiltered, exactly as the conversion's own, and the conversion then finds the cache fresh, so nothing is done twice. Usually only the modified projects have anything to refresh. A cold archive would refresh serially. The workers receive the set, so a session started between the read and the conversion gets no page and no link until the next run.

Commits

  1. The deliberate reversal of (Claude) Convert the projects active in the window on a date-filtered --all-projects run #389's "write every linked combined page" rule. Its test now expects an idle project to be left out of a fresh --output, and no link to be dead. It fails until commit 2.
  2. The window view: the shared session set, the index cards, the refresh before the pool, and rule (a). CacheManager.has_sessions_in_window loses its last caller and goes.
  3. The destination check and --force. The existing tests that re-run a window in place now pass force.
  4. Docs: a new user-guide page "Viewing a date window", the README, CONTRIBUTING's cache paragraph, and the application model.
  5. Tests for the other side of the check: a destination holding only files the view does not write (an idle project's combined page, or a session page outside the window) does not refuse the run.
  6. The progress line of a filtered pass counts the window's session pages, not the project's stale ones.
  7. An existing test's output path: test_end_to_end_date_filtering took its output name from a NamedTemporaryFile, which creates the file, so its windowed run was refused. It now removes the placeholder.
  8. A windowed -o page.html export over a project marks the session pages it writes into the project stale. Recording them also required the cache update that -o turns off, so they stayed current and the next plain run kept the window's pages.
  9. Docs: which pages state the window; the search and recent pages do not.
  10. Docs: the one-project examples. -o ~/last-week wrote a combined page named last-week, and the session pages into the project, where a full run's pages made it refuse.
  11. The recent sessions page of a view lists the window's sessions with the window's counts, and names the window.
  12. The search page of a view says it searches the whole archive.
  13. The refusal for one project offers --combined only --output instead of another --output, which cannot move its session pages.
  14. Docs: the recent and search pages, and the one-project refusal; replaces commit 9's bullet.
  15. The connection census lists the recent page's window query, a read-only connection like its other one.
  16. Tests: a single file's and an --all-projects refusal keep "another --output"; the recent page's header line names the window.
  17. The refusal for one project with --combined no offers --force alone: there is no combined page to send elsewhere.
  18. A windowed --no-cache run shows the window's sessions: one helper gives the index's view and the conversion the same session rows, from the cache or, without one, from the whole load before the window's filter; the conversion hands them to the session pages.

Tests

test/test_date_window_view.py (24 tests, 25 cases). The central one pins that the pages written, the pages linked and the pages checked are one set, through the pool too. A fixture session straddles the window, and another has no user message inside it. Twelve named mutations were run against the tests. Eleven turned at least one test red:

  • index sessions from the window's user messages;
  • the window read from the session rows' stamps;
  • no check in the pass;
  • no check in a single conversion;
  • the index left out of the check;
  • rows marked for a view written elsewhere;
  • no refresh before the read;
  • archived projects listed;
  • the session set not handed to the workers;
  • --force accepted without a window;
  • --force accepted on the provider path.

The twelfth, variants read from the destination, survived. It went with the variant code it targeted; see Not changed.

Ten more for commits 11–17, each red:

  • the recent rows read from the whole session's entries;
  • the window's counts not put on the rows;
  • no window handed to the recent page;
  • the recent page not naming the window;
  • the recent rows chosen by the clock's three days;
  • the search page not naming the window;
  • the old refusal message for one project;
  • the one-project hint offered on every refusal;
  • the recent page's header line dropped;
  • --combined no ignored by the refusal.

Five more for commit 18, each red: no rows without a cache; the index's rows, or the conversion's, read after the window's filter (s-span loses its first user message); the session pages ignoring the rows; the rows not handed to them.

The empty-page message under a window (JavaScript) has no test.

just test on 34dbe70 (commit 7): 4206 passed, 7 skipped; commits 8–14 ran the targeted files, test/test_recent_browser.py included. just test on 8fc3af1 (commit 14): 1 failed (the connection census, fixed by commit 15), 4209 passed, 7 skipped. just test on 77f53f6 (commit 15): 4210 passed, 7 skipped; commits 16–17 ran the targeted files. just test on 58ab9e4 (commit 18): 4213 passed, 7 skipped. pyright, ty, ruff, just fmt-check and just docs-build are clean.

Not changed

  • The provider path (render_provider_wholesale, e.g. Codex) writes its date-filtered run as before, and rejects --force. A follow-up issue covers it.
  • A recent-page row's state (working, idle, …) is still computed at the run's clock, from the window's entries.
  • A view written in place with --force, then a watch tick: watch rewrites recent-data.js with the last three days while recent.html still names the window, until the next plain run rewrites the page.
  • html_variants on the index's project summaries is computed but never rendered (TemplateProject has no such field). The window view does not set it.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Date-filtered runs now create a window-specific view, including relevant projects, sessions, counts, and recent activity. Search continues to cover the full archive.
    • Added --force to allow date-filtered output to overwrite existing generated pages. Without it, runs report a conflict; overwriting does not remove other files.
  • Documentation
    • Added a guide to date-window views, output behavior, and options. Updated usage examples and project navigation.

Expect a filtered pass to leave an idle project out of a fresh output
ab52b46 
A date-filtered pass into a fresh --output used to write an idle
project's combined page, empty for the window, because the index linked
every project's. The index of a window's view lists only the projects
the window shows, so the pass writes no page of an idle one: the test
now pins that, and that no link of the index is dead.

The test fails until the next commit, which makes the pass write that
view.

@cboos @claude
Show only the date window in a date-filtered run's pages
5c40f34 
A run with --from-date/--to-date filtered the messages it rendered, but
the pages around them still described the whole archive: the master
index listed every project with its whole-archive totals, and linked
every session's page, though the run wrote pages only for the sessions
with messages in the window. Into a fresh --output, those links were
dead; in place, the full view's files hid them.

A filtered pass now writes a view of its window. Before converting, it
refreshes each project's cache (unfiltered, as the conversion would,
which then finds it fresh) and reads the window from it. One reading,
window_session_ids, decides both the session pages the conversion
writes and the sessions the index links: a trunk session with a message
in the window, among those the index lists. A session whose first and
last messages straddle the window, with none inside, is not in it; one
whose window part has no user message of its own is, under its usual
title. The workers get the set, so a session started in between waits
for the next run rather than getting a page nobody links.

The index lists only the projects the window shows, with the window's
message count, tokens and time range. A project the window shows
nothing of is not converted, as before, and now not listed either, so
its combined page is no longer written into a fresh --output (the
previous commit's test). Archived projects, with no source to take a
window of, are left out.

The render cache records a page by project and file name, so a view
written outside the project's directory no longer marks the full view's
rows stale: the next plain run would have rebuilt pages nothing
touched. Written in place, the view keeps marking the pages it replaced.

The trade: the refresh before the pool runs in the parent, one project
at a time. Usually only the modified projects have anything to refresh;
a cold archive refreshes serially.

CacheManager.has_sessions_in_window, read from the session rows' first
and last stamps, has no caller left and goes.

Write a date window's view only where none of its pages is, or --force
01d81d5 
A view of a date window written over a full one mixes the two: the full
view's pages it does not rewrite stay beside its own, linked from
nowhere. So a date-filtered run now checks, before writing anything,
every page it is about to write, and refuses with exit 1 when one
exists, naming the first and suggesting --force or another --output.
Other files in the directory do not count, nor do the vendored assets/
and referenced images, which are the same bytes in any view.

The pages checked are the ones written: the pass's index pages (index,
search, recent page and its data), each shown project's combined page,
and the session pages of window_session_ids, the set the index links.
A single project or transcript checks its own combined page and session
pages the same way.

--force writes the view over them and removes nothing; it is only
accepted together with a date window, and not by the provider pipeline,
whose date-filtered run is unchanged. Written in place, forced, the view
marks the pages it replaced stale, as before.

Re-running a date filter in place over an earlier run now needs --force:
the existing tests that do so pass it.

@cboos @claude
Document the date window's view, its destination and --force
7a64975 
A user guide page, "Viewing a date window": what a filtered run's pages
show, where the view may go and the two ways out of a refusal (another
--output, or --force, which removes nothing, with a way to clear what
it leaves), what is not checked (vendored assets, referenced images),
and what the view leaves in the render cache. The README's date-filter
examples now write to a directory of their own, and say that an
in-place re-run needs --force.

CONTRIBUTING's cache paragraph and the application model describe the
window phase (the refresh before the pool, window_session_ids as the
one reading, the destination check) and the render cache rule: rows
are marked only for a view written in place, and the index, search and
recent pages have none.

@cboos @claude
Pin that only the view's own pages make a destination refuse it
c24c227 
The tests pinned the refusing side of the destination check, and the
other side only for out-of-window session pages in the pass. Two more:
a pass into a directory holding an idle project's combined page, and a
single project into one holding a session page outside the window. Both
runs go ahead and leave the held file alone; checking every project in
the pass, or every cached session of a project, would refuse them.

@cboos @claude
Count the window's session pages in a filtered pass's progress line
ed6fd4c 
A filtered pass printed each converted project's count of stale session
pages, from its plan ("-mixed: 4 sessions"), where it writes the
window's (2 in the test's fixture). It now counts those.

@cboos @claude
Give the end-to-end date filter test an output path that does not exist
34dbe70 
The test took its output path from a NamedTemporaryFile, which creates
the file, so its date-filtered run met an existing file at its
destination and, as a filtered run now does without --force, refused to
write. It keeps the name and removes the placeholder.

Walkthrough

Date-filtered Claude conversions now build views from sessions and messages in the selected window. They check destination pages before writing and support --force for overwrites. Window-specific index, recent-page, and search-page information is rendered. Cache refresh remains based on the full archive.

Changes: Date-window views

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build and render window views
claude_code_log/converter.py, test/test_date_window_view.py, test/test_date_filtering.py, test/test_cache_integration.py		 Conversions select window sessions, build window-specific summaries, and check the pages they will write. Forced in-place writes replace selected pages without removing other files. Render-cache updates depend on whether output is written in place.
Select projects and assemble window indexes
claude_code_log/converter.py, claude_code_log/recent.py, claude_code_log/html/renderer.py, claude_code_log/html/templates/*, claude_code_log/renderer.py, claude_code_log/utils.py, claude_code_log/cache.py, test/test_cache_atomic_refresh.py, test/test_cache_interrupted_refresh.py, test/test_date_filtered_runs.py, test/test_filtered_all_projects.py, test/test_cache_sqlite_integrity.py, dev-docs/application_model.md, CONTRIBUTING.md		 Hierarchy processing refreshes caches before building window views. It selects projects with shown sessions, passes window session IDs to conversions, and excludes archived projects from the window index. Index and recent-page output identify the window; archive search remains archive-wide.
Expose and document force behavior
claude_code_log/cli.py, test/test_date_window_view.py, test/test_cache_integration.py, README.md, docs/date-window.md, docs/index.md, mkdocs.yml		 The CLI passes --force to Claude conversions, rejects it without date bounds and in provider mode, and reports output conflicts. Documentation describes window output, destination conflicts, force behavior, and cache effects.

A fresh date-window run with --no-cache can show an empty recent-sessions page even when the index lists sessions. The run remains usable through the index and session pages, but this inconsistency warrants owner awareness.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "(Claude) Make a date-filtered run a view of its window" matches the main change. The PR makes date-filtered runs (--from-date/--to-date) produce a consistent window-scoped view across the index, project pages, session pages, and recent page, and adds --force protection for output collisions. The title names the core idea. It does not mention the --force overwrite guard or the render-cache behavior, but it does not need to cover every detail. No vague terms or file lists are used.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed areas map to #397 objectives or to supporting work for them:

  • claude_code_log/converter.py, cli.py, utils.py, renderer.py, html/renderer.py, html/templates (recent.html, archive_search.html, recent.js), recent.py: the window session set, index cards, destination check, --force, render-cache rules, the window-scoped recent page, and the windowed --no-cache session rows (commit 18). These implement #397 Proposal 1-3 and the destination rules.
  • cache.py: removes has_sessions_in_window, which window_session_ids replaces. Related.
  • test/test_filtered_all_projects.py: idle projects are omitted from fresh output. This follows #397 Proposal 1 and the dead-link problem in the issue.
  • test/test_cache_sqlite_integrity.py: classifies the new read-only window query. Supporting.
  • Existing tests that pass force or remove a placeholder output file: needed because of the new destination check. Supporting.
  • README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, dev-docs/application_model.md, docs/*, mkdocs.yml: document the view, the check, and --force. Supporting.

No change appears unrelated to #397. This assessment relies on the PR description and the change summaries. I did not read the full converter diff.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Only #397 is an active direct target. Its coding requirements, grouped:

  1. Window-only master index, project pages, and session set [#397 Proposal 1-2]. The PR states that window_session_ids decides the index cards, the session pages, the index links, and the destination check. Projects with no window session and archived projects are omitted. Commit 18 gives windowed --no-cache runs the same session rows. test/test_date_window_view.py covers these paths. Implemented per the PR description and test summary. I did not read the converter source directly.

  2. Header: each page states its window [#397 Proposal 3]. recent.html sets the title and a header line naming the window. archive_search.html adds a note naming the window. recent-data.js carries the window label. Implemented per the PR description and template summaries.

  3. Destination check and --force [#397 'Where the window view goes']. The issue states: 'Empty means: none of the files this run would write exists yet.' The PR states that the check covers the index pages, each shown project's combined page, and the window's session pages. It also states that the vendored assets/ and referenced images are not checked. The PR gives a reason (identical bytes in any view), but this exclusion conflicts with the issue's stated rule. This is a concrete unmet requirement.

  4. Render cache rules (a)-(c) [#397 'Render cache']. The PR states that a view written elsewhere leaves html_cache and html_pages untouched, that an in-place view keeps mark_rendered_from_window (-1), and that transcript rows are unchanged. The master index.html has no row and is rewritten on every run. Implemented per the PR description and tests.

Residual note, not a failure: the search page reads the whole archive and is not windowed. The issue principle 'every page ... should come from the window' does not cover search in Proposals 1-3. The PR discloses this, and the search page states it.

Resolution

Extend the destination check to cover the vendored assets/ and referenced images that the run would write, so that a windowed run refuses with exit 1 and names the first conflicting file unless --force is given. If identical vendored files are meant to be exempt, record that exemption in #397 first, then reassess this requirement against the amended text.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 79.17% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 48 functions across 16 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

365880f 
With a project directory as input and `-o page.html`, only the combined
page goes to the given path: the session pages are still written into
the project, over the full view's. Their render cache rows were left
current, because recording also required the cache update that `-o`
turns off, so the next run without a window kept the window's pages.
They are now marked stale like any page a view replaces in place.

Say which pages of a date-window view state the window
baa0fa0 
The index, combined and session pages carry the window in their title;
the search and recent sessions pages are written as on any run and do
not. Say so, and what those two show, instead of claiming every page
states it.

Give the one-project date-window examples commands that work
d5cc87d 
For a project directory, `-o` names the combined page, not a directory:
`-o ~/last-week` wrote a combined page named `last-week` and the window's
session pages into the project, over the full view's, and after a full
run it was refused for them. The examples now write the combined page
alone (`--combined only -o page.html`) or the view in place
(`--force`), and the docs say why.

List the window's sessions on a date-window view's recent page
c780dbf 
The recent page of a date-filtered run listed every session active in
the last three days by the clock, in the window or not, with
whole-session counts, and did not say a window was in force. Under a
window it now lists the window's sessions, those of the index's cards
however old, newest by their last message in the window and at most as
many as on any run. Each row's messages and time range are the
window's, as on the index, and its turns, tools and last messages are
read from its entries in the window. The page's title and header name
the window, and the data names it too, for the empty-page message.

Pages written without a window are unchanged byte for byte.

Say on a date-window view's search page that it searches everything
38e22a8 
The search page next to a date-filtered run's index searches the whole
archive, as it does on any run: it reads the cache, which holds every
session. Written beside a window view, it now says so, naming the
window the index shows. It is still written there, so the index's
link to it does not dangle.

Offer the combined page alone when one project's window view is refused
c9c19cc 
For one project, --output names the combined page only: its session
pages are written into the project whatever it names. So a refusal
there because a session page exists cannot be answered with another
--output, which the message suggested. It now offers --force, or the
combined page alone elsewhere with --combined only and --output.

Say what a date-window view's recent and search pages show
8fc3af1 
The recent sessions page now lists the window's sessions, and the
search page says it searches the whole archive, so the bullet saying
both are written as on any run is replaced. The refusal for one
project, which now offers the combined page alone, is shown too.

Classify the recent page's window query in the connection census
77f53f6 
The window's session rows are read through a connection of their own,
read-only like the recent page's other query, and the census of
sqlite3.connect sites now lists it as such.

Pin which refusals keep "another --output", and the recent page's header
662ef63 
Only one project's refusal offers the combined page alone: a single
transcript file's and an --all-projects view's still offer another
--output, which moves every page they write. The recent page's line
naming the window under its heading is pinned like its title.

Offer only --force when one project's session pages alone are refused
43511e5 
With --combined no, a project's window view has no combined page for
--combined only and --output to send elsewhere, and its session pages
go into the project whatever --output names. So its refusal offers
--force alone, saying why.

Build window session data without a cache

With --no-cache and a date window, _project_window_view passes empty rows to window_session_ids. Eligible sessions are therefore missing from the index and its session links. The conversion also selects no session pages.

Derive whole-session eligibility and metadata without a persistent cache, and use the same selection in planning and conversion. A session can be eligible even when its first user message is outside the window.

Show the window's sessions in a date-filtered run without a cache
58ab9e4 
With --no-cache there were no session rows to choose a window's
sessions among, so the index listed none of them and no session page
was written. Without a cache the rows now come from the transcripts,
loaded whole before the window's filter, by the same rules as the
cached rows: one helper gives both the index's view and the conversion
their rows, and the conversion hands the same rows to the session
pages. An unwindowed --no-cache run is unchanged.

(Claude) On the outside-diff finding at converter.py:5246-5248 (windowed --no-cache run shows no sessions): confirmed and fixed in 58ab9e4. Both the index's view and the conversion now take their session rows from one helper: the cache's rows, or without a cache, rows built from the whole load before the window's filter, so a session whose first user message falls outside the window stays eligible. The conversion hands the same rows to the session-page writer. Two new tests (all projects, and one project directory) failed on the previous head and pass now. An unwindowed --no-cache run is unchanged by this PR.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Extend the destination check to cover the vendored assets/ and referenced images
that the run would write, so that a windowed run refuses with exit 1 and names
the first conflicting file unless --force is given. If identical vendored files
are meant to be exempt, record that exemption in #397 first, then reassess this
requirement against the amended text.
