+# Session Log -- 2026-10-13
+
+## Summary
+Improved `claude-sessions`: new sessions default to the cwd's CLAUDE.md project, and both new and resumed sessions now attach instead of leaving the user at the shell. Moved the default Sonnet model to claude-sonnet-5-5. Pushed claude-foundations and small-scripts.
+
+## Decisions
+- Decision: Default model changed in `claude-profile` (small-scripts), not `claude-sessions` -- Rationale: the `sonnet` driver->model-ID map lives there; claude-sessions only passes a mode.
+- Decision: `recover` attaches only when exactly one session is selected -- Rationale: cannot attach to several; multi-select stays detached.
+- Decision: `claude-sessions resume <id>` CLI still attaches only with `--attach` -- Rationale: scripted use; only menu/recover paths changed.
+
+## Gotchas Discovered
+- **[claude-sessions]** Menu "n" called `cmd_spawn` with `attach=False`, and `cmd_spawn` execs `claude-tmux`, so the user was dropped to the shell. Fix: pass `attach=True` (claude-tmux already supports `--attach`, using switch-client inside tmux).
+- **[claude-sessions]** `find_claude_md_dir` walks parents up to $HOME, so under `~/dev/claude/<x>` with no CLAUDE.md of its own it offers `~/dev/claude` (root has a CLAUDE.md).
+
+## Key Context
+- Model IDs: `projects/small-scripts/scripts/claude-profile` `driver_model_id()`; spec `specs/claude-profile.spec.md`. Other drivers (haiku 4.5, opus 4-8, fable-5) not updated.
+- Commits: claude-foundations 11ee50e, small-scripts 3461453.
