+## Cowork sessions
+
+Claude Desktop (the agent / Cowork mode in the desktop app) writes a per-session
+audit log to its userData directory:
+
+| OS | Path |
+|---|---|
+| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/` |
+| Windows | `%APPDATA%/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/` |
+| Linux | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/` (default `~/.config/...`) |
+
+`scan` automatically picks these up alongside `~/.claude/projects/`. Sessions
+appear in the dashboard under project names like `Cowork/<8-char-id>`.
+
+Token totals come from the authoritative `result.modelUsage` blocks (the same
+numbers Anthropic uses for billing), so cost estimates line up with what
+the API reports rather than aggregating per-event streaming chunks.

+Cowork (Claude Desktop "agent" / Cowork mode) session log support.
+
+Claude Desktop writes one JSONL audit log per Cowork session to its userData
+directory. Each `result` event in the log carries an authoritative `modelUsage`
+breakdown — the same numbers Anthropic uses for billing — so we synthesize one
+turn per (result, model) pair and let the rest of the pipeline (aggregation,
+pricing, dashboard) treat them like any other Claude Code turns.
+
+Why we don't read the per-event `assistant` records: they mix per-event
+input/output tokens with cumulative cache numbers, and some streaming chunks
+are duplicated. Naive aggregation undercounts output tokens by ~20x. The
+`result` events have already done the bookkeeping correctly.
