ccRewind tool reads Claude session files without ever writing to them
ccRewind reads Claude Code session files from ~/.claude/projects/*.jsonl, parses them, and indexes them into a local SQLite database for searchable history. It never writes to the source files, preserving original data integrity. This design choice avoids corruption from concurrent writes and enables accurate forensic reconstruction of past sessions.

The tool's strict read-only approach is principled but costly, requiring a separate database and fingerprint-based staleness detection—a tradeoff that prioritizes data fidelity over convenience.
