Project health & auto-fixes

w in the sessions menu. Launcher-side mitigations for the most common Claude Code problems (2026 field research):

  • Pre-launch health card — CLAUDE.md over-budget (loads every session!), missing --add-dir/PATH entries, non-UTF-8 CLAUDE.md, stale memory, MCP failures, session-window burn ≥70% (suggests cheaper model/effort for routine work).
  • Context-loss insurance — after every session a 5-line summary (goal + files touched) is appended to .claudectl/session-log.md, so the next session can recall what happened even after /compact wiped the context. Local, free.
  • Permission fatigue killer — P in the workspace screen scans your history for repeatedly-used Bash commands and proposes permissions.allow rules for the project settings.json (diff-previewed, you approve).

The same screen shows workspace provenance and freshness: whether the context claudectl generated still matches the repo it was generated from, and a safe_to_launch flag.

Over-budget warnings on the health card are the summary; the itemised breakdown is the context weight audit.
