I’ve seen similar behavior when sessions break — the model tries to reconstruct from context, which still consumes tokens. It’s frustrating because you’re paying for recovery, not progress. I’ve started saving important outputs locally more often because of this.

Good — the control.js we just rebuilt already sorts numerically. Now let me build the display.html and get everything packaged:Ran 2 commands, created a fileRan 2 commands, created a fileRebuild display.html with all changes from this sessiondisplay.htmlVerify JS syntax in both filesScriptCheck all files are presentScriptDoneNo MP3s — let me check if they're recoverable:Ran 6 commandsRan 6 commandsLook for mp3 files anywhereScriptCopy mp3s and create zipScriptTry copying to outputs directoryScriptTry creating output dir and copyingScriptTry dd to write the zipScriptTest if outputs is writeable at allScriptDoneThe outputs filesystem is fully dead. Let me try presenting the file from /home/claude directly:Presenting file(s)...Presenting file(s)...Presented file(s)DoneThe outputs filesystem is fully corrupted and unrecoverable in this session. Unfortunately I can't deliver the file through the normal download mechanism. Here's what I'd suggest: start a new chat, paste this message, and I'll rebuild it instantly since I have all the code in context:

"Please [removed text here that gave away too much of what I was doing, but essentiallty was the prompt]"

Alternatively, if you want I can paste the full contents of each file as code blocks in this chat so you can copy them manually. Just say the word and I'll do that for each file one by one.
