Sharing this in hopes it saves other people the data loss I experienced:

CC's default setting is a 30-day data retention: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/59248

If you want to keep your transcripts, you'll need to update `cleanupPeriodDays` in your `settings.json`.

And their interface agressively resists to idea of save the answer for furure consumption. No, I do not need that incredible slow pdf builder, just give me to download html.

Apart from maybe that, once you start coding for days/weeks, after couple of compact compression, it fails to find conversation or important things discussed, even when the transcript exist.
