3737| `local-agent-mode-sessions/.../<sessionId>/audit.jsonl` | Append-only log of session events (tool invocations, permission decisions, file operations). Each entry is HMAC-chained to the previous one so edits or deletions are detectable; the companion `.audit-key` file holds the per-session signing key, encrypted via the OS keychain. |
3838| `claude-code-sessions/` | Code session records holding each session's working folder, settings, title, and sometimes a short summary. The conversation transcripts themselves are in Claude Code's own store at `~/.claude/projects/`, outside this directory. |
3939| `claude-code/`, `claude-code-vm/` | Claude Code binary and VM workspace data for Code sessions. |
40| `vm_bundles/` | Cached copy of the Cowork sandbox VM bundle. |
40| `vm_bundles/` | Cached copy of the VM workspace bundle that Cowork sessions run in, plus the data disk the app creates to hold those sessions' home directories inside the VM. |
4141| `cowork_plugins/` | User-installed and [org-provisioned](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/extensions#organization-plugins-admin) plugins. Created on first plugin install. |
4242| `IndexedDB/`, `Local Storage/`, `Session Storage/` | Renderer-side UI state (window layout, recent folders, preferences). |
