The code that lists them can now report a problem when that folder cannot be read, or when listing the session ids fails with certain errors. Before, it returned an empty list without saying anything.\n\n**Why**\n\nAn empty session list could mean you had no sessions, or that the folder could not be read. This change makes it possible to tell those apart.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
