Description

Not sure if this is known, but the desktop app (macOS, 1.18.15) started silently eating my replies. I send a message, the assistant's reply box shows up for a split second, then vanishes — no text, no error, nothing in the UI. CLI works fine with the exact same config and API.

What I found: the session gets created under ~/Documents/Default Project, which no longer exists on my machine. Server log shows prompt_async failed ... FileSystem.realPath (/Users/.../Documents/Default Project) ... ENOENT, and the assistant message ends up with zero parts, so the UI just flashes.

The frustrating part is there's zero user-facing feedback when this happens — you can't even tell a message got created.
