## Changes

### New Features

1. Conversation History Database Storage

Claude Code now stores conversation history in a local SQLite database, providing persistent storage and better performance for conversation management.

- New database schema includes tables for:
- Base messages with parent-child relationships
- User messages with content and tool results
- Assistant messages with model info, cost, and duration
- Conversation summaries for quick browsing

2. Enhanced Conversation Browser

The conversation browser has been significantly improved with:

- **Automatic conversation summaries**: Claude generates concise 5-10 word titles for each conversation
- **Better organization**: Shows modification time, creation time, and message count for each conversation
- **Sidechain support**: Properly handles and displays sidechain conversations
- **Mixed storage**: Seamlessly combines file-based and database-stored conversations

**Example usage**

`# Browse previous conversations with enhanced UI claude --logs` The browser now displays:

- Modified time (e.g., "2 hours ago")
- Created time
- Number of messages
- Auto-generated summary or first message preview
- Sidechain indicator when applicable

3. Claude Max Subscription Integration

New support for Claude Max subscriptions with automatic detection and notifications.

- Checks if your account has Claude Max access
- Shows a one-time notification if Claude Max is available
- Prompts to login to activate the subscription

The notification appears as:

`Your can now use your Claude Max subscription with Claude Code • /login to activate`

### Improvements

1. Relative Time Formatting

Added human-friendly relative time display throughout the interface:

- "2 hours ago" instead of timestamps
- "in 5 minutes" for future times
- Narrow format for recent times (e.g., "5m ago", "2h ago")

2. Message Filtering

New message filtering logic that removes redundant tool use messages from conversation display, making conversations cleaner and easier to read.

3. Tool Permission Flow

Improved the tool permission dialog flow:

- Better handling of tool rejection scenarios
- More consistent permission context management
- Enhanced file operation permission requests

### API and Configuration Updates

1. New API Base URL Configuration

Added `BASE_API_URL` to configuration for better API endpoint management:

- Production: `https://api.anthropic.com`
- Development: `http://localhost:3000`

### Technical Changes

1. Database Migration System

- Automatic database creation and migration on first use
- Support for both Bun and Node.js SQLite drivers
- Atomic transaction support for data integrity

2. Performance Optimizations

- Parallel loading of conversation summaries
- Efficient database queries with recursive CTEs
- Caching of conversation summaries

3. Stream Processing

Changed from using `Stream` to `PassThrough` for better stream handling compatibility.

### Bug Fixes
