+/**
+ * PROJECT DISCOVERY AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
+ * ========================================
+ * 
+ * This module manages project discovery for both Claude CLI and Cursor CLI sessions.
+ * 
+ * ## Architecture Overview
+ * 
+ * 1. **Claude Projects** (stored in ~/.claude/projects/)
+ *    - Each project is a directory named with the project path encoded (/ replaced with -)
+ *    - Contains .jsonl files with conversation history including 'cwd' field
+ *    - Project metadata stored in ~/.claude/project-config.json
+ * 
+ * 2. **Cursor Projects** (stored in ~/.cursor/chats/)
+ *    - Each project directory is named with MD5 hash of the absolute project path
+ *    - Example: /Users/john/myproject -> MD5 -> a1b2c3d4e5f6...
+ *    - Contains session directories with SQLite databases (store.db)
+ *    - Project path is NOT stored in the database - only in the MD5 hash
+ * 
+ * ## Project Discovery Strategy
+ * 
+ * 1. **Claude Projects Discovery**:
+ *    - Scan ~/.claude/projects/ directory for Claude project folders
+ *    - Extract actual project path from .jsonl files (cwd field)
+ *    - Fall back to decoded directory name if no sessions exist
+ * 
+ * 2. **Cursor Sessions Discovery**:
+ *    - For each KNOWN project (from Claude or manually added)
+ *    - Compute MD5 hash of the project's absolute path
+ *    - Check if ~/.cursor/chats/{md5_hash}/ directory exists
+ *    - Read session metadata from SQLite store.db files
+ * 
+ * 3. **Manual Project Addition**:
+ *    - Users can manually add project paths via UI
+ *    - Stored in ~/.claude/project-config.json with 'manuallyAdded' flag
+ *    - Allows discovering Cursor sessions for projects without Claude sessions
+ * 
+ * ## Critical Limitations
+ * 
+ * - **CANNOT discover Cursor-only projects**: From a quick check, there was no mention of
+ *   the cwd of each project. if someone has the time, you can try to reverse engineer it.
+ * 
+ * - **Project relocation breaks history**: If a project directory is moved or renamed,
+ *   the MD5 hash changes, making old Cursor sessions inaccessible unless the old
+ *   path is known and manually added.
+ * 
+ * ## Error Handling
+ * 
+ * - Missing ~/.claude directory is handled gracefully with automatic creation
+ * - ENOENT errors are caught and handled without crashing
+ * - Empty arrays returned when no projects/sessions exist
+ * 
+ * ## Caching Strategy
+ * 
+ * - Project directory extraction is cached to minimize file I/O
+ * - Cache is cleared when project configuration changes
+ * - Session data is fetched on-demand, not cached
