Open a project session terminal

The defaults below are this setup's; a value the user states overrides its default, and you change the projects root, terminal and workspace once for your machine.

A new project directory

When the user names a project that has no folder yet and says it is new, create the empty folder under the projects root (never git init unasked). A new directory makes the session stop at Claude Code's folder-trust prompt, so the first message never arrives and the session stays out of the app's recents. Trust it before launching, so the user never has to tend a prompt:

1. Copy ~/.claude.json to a scratch directory as a backup.
2. Set projects["<absolute directory>"].hasTrustDialogAccepted = true in it: load the JSON, write a temporary file in the same directory with the original file mode, then os.replace it over the original.

Skip this for a directory that already has sessions. Never answer the prompt by sending a key to the window: a dialog's default can be "exit" and closes the session.

Command

Recent Hyprland takes Lua dispatch (the old exec [workspace 1 silent] ... syntax errors):

hyprctl dispatch 'hl.dsp.exec_cmd("kitty --title <Name> --directory <path> claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --model haiku --effort low --name <Name> hi", {workspace="1 silent"})'

Kill a window you must close by its exact PID, never pkill -f with a pattern that also appears in your own command line, which kills your shell. Then confirm the window exists on the workspace:

hyprctl clients -j | python3 -c "import json,sys;[print(c['class'],c['workspace']['id'],c['title']) for c in json.load(sys.stdin) if c['class']=='kitty']"

For a new directory also confirm ~/.claude/projects/<path with / as ->/*.jsonl exists, which means the first message went through. Report the project, path and workspace in one line. Do not touch other windows.
