Description
Summary
On 0.40.x, the resume picker (kimi -r, /sessions) and kimi session list fail to list any sessions when any workspace bucket directory under ~/.kimi-code/sessions/ contains a stray regular file. On macOS, Finder's .DS_Store inside a bucket directory is enough to trigger it — kimi session list prints storage stat failed: unrecognized I/O error, and the TUI picker swallows the error and shows "No sessions found".
Reproduction
touch ~/.kimi-code/sessions/wd_example_000000000000/.DS_Store(or just browse that folder in Finder once)- Run
kimi session listin any project →storage stat failed: unrecognized I/O error - Run
kimi -r→ the picker shows no sessions
Root cause
#3422 (0.40.0) added mtime probes to the session index: scanAuthoritative / scanSessionsMaxMtime stat <entry>/state.json and <entry>/session-meta/state.json for every entry of every bucket directory. When an entry is a regular file, that stat fails with ENOTDIR. FileStorageService.mtime only tolerates ENOENT and translates every other errno into StorageError(storage.io_failed) ("unrecognized I/O error"), so the entire scan rejects — projection, startup freshness checks, periodic reconciliation, and the authoritative fallback read path all fail, and no session can be listed at all.
A long-running server degrades into a per-entry-tolerant legacy read branch, so an already-running web/desktop UI keeps showing sessions, while any fresh process (TUI resume picker, kimi session list) reads through sharedScanForRead() and hits the throw — which makes it look like different frontends see different session sets.
Environment
kimi-code 0.40.1, macOS 26 (reproducible on any platform where a bucket directory can hold a non-directory entry).

Research direction
Trace scanAuthoritative and scanSessionsMaxMtime through FileStorageService.mtime and sharedScanForRead, starting with the reproduced stray-file case. Run kimi session list and kimi -r with a regular file in a bucket directory; done means both still list valid sessions without the storage stat error.
