Create the folder at the **project level** by default:
Create the canonical sessions folder in the user's Claude home directory:

Each session always gets a unique short-id, so multiple sessions on the same day never collide.
The legacy filename `YYYY-MM-DD-session.tmp` is still valid, but new session files should prefer the short-id form to avoid same-day collisions.

- The "What Did NOT Work" section is the most critical — future sessions will blindly retry failed approaches without it
- If the user asks to save mid-session (not just at the end), save what's known so far and mark in-progress items clearly
- The file is meant to be read by Claude at the start of the next session via `/resume-session`
- Save to `.claude/sessions/` inside the current project by default — this keeps session logs co-located with the project they belong to
