Update Session Management Design Document
Updated konsole CLAUDE.md with per-account config directory architecture
Output
š Session Management Design Updated
New Section: Per-Account Configuration Directories
Added comprehensive documentation explaining how each Claude account has its own config directory:
/konnectvol/.konsole/claude/ āāā blueboy/ # johnathon@blueboy.technology ā āāā .credentials.json # OAuth tokens ā āāā settings.json āāā meichtry/ # johnathon@meichtry.com āāā .credentials.json āāā settings.json
Key Architecture Change Documented
| Aspect | Old (Symlink) | New (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR) |
|---|---|---|
| Account Switching | Symlink: ~/.claude ā dir | Env var per spawn |
| Concurrent Accounts | Only one at a time | Multiple simultaneous |
| Credential Isolation | Shared symlink | Fully isolated |
| Config Location | /home/bb/.claude-* | /konnectvol/.konsole/claude/ |
Claude CLI Spawn Pattern
// src/claude.ts - When spawning Claude const env = { ...Deno.env.toObject(), CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR: account.configDir, // e.g., "/konnectvol/.konsole/claude/blueboy" }; const cmd = new Deno.Command("claude", { args: [...args, prompt], env, // Account-specific config dir });
