Transcript rebuilding gets a new 'precede' pass that reconnects orphaned entries to prior context

What

When Claude Code reconstructs a conversation transcript, it now runs an extra pass called precede over a batch of entries first. This pass remembers the last relevant entry it saw, and if a later entry in the main conversation (not a side branch) has no recorded parent, its parent is retroactively set to that remembered entry, unless it's already anchored some other way.

Why

This stitches transcript entries back together that would otherwise appear disconnected from their preceding context, likely improving how conversation history is displayed or replayed.
