fix(app): bypass path normalization to fix sidebar session queries on…

[shanliuling]

Fixes: #860

What

Bypass aggressive path normalization for the directory query when fetching sidebar workspace sessions from the OpenCode server on Windows.

Why

Currently on Windows, the normalizeDirectoryQueryPath function converts raw Windows paths (e.g., D:\Projects\MyWork) into forward-slashed lowercase paths (e.g., d/projects/mywork). However, the OpenCode server's underlying SQLite database stores the raw paths. This mismatch causes the server-side directory filter to fail, resulting in an empty session history list in the sidebar on app restart.

How

• Removed normalizeDirectoryQueryPath from the queryDirectory assignment in refreshSidebarWorkspaceSessions (located in app.tsx).
• By passing the raw directory string directly to the server, the query correctly matches the stored SQLite payload.
• Client-side filtering logic (filtered = root ? list.filter(...) : list) remains unchanged, safely using normalizeDirectoryPath on both sides to ensure exact matching after the data is received.

Thanks for the support!
If you are building from source and need this fix immediately, you can manually apply the changes:

1. Open the file: apps/app/src/app/context/sidebar-sessions.ts
2. Find line 142: const queryDirectory = normalizeDirectoryQueryPath(directory) || undefined;
3. Change it to: const queryDirectory = directory || undefined;
   This will bypass the path normalization that causes the query mismatch on Windows. Hope this helps while we wait for the
