### What's Wrong?
I currently have 2 Claude accounts:
1. sdenjoymfg@gmail.com
2. sarah@shopenjoymfg.com
I am logged into sarah@shopenjoymfg.com on the account switcher in the bottom left hand corner and trying to pull in my projects from sdenjoymfg.com for my new team account. my code sessions are still authenticating my old account sdenjoymfg@gmail.com
### What Should Happen?
I need to be logged into sarah@shopenjoymfg.com for both and be able to pull in the projects and session history from sdenjoymfg.com that is stored on my computer locally

Research direction
Start by reproducing the account-switching flow on macOS with Claude Code 1.49585.0, checking whether Code sessions authenticate the selected account or the previous one. Done means switching to sarah@shopenjoymfg.com authenticates both the account switcher and Code sessions while preserving access to the locally stored projects and session history.
