 In the TUI session list, the message count column always shows 0. The message count is not being populated from the database or computed correctly for the TUI.
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+In `src/tui/run.rs`: after building the session list from disk discovery, open the DB and query `session_id, COALESCE(project_path, ''), message_count` from the sessions table. Use `tokio::task::block_in_place` to run the async DB query from the synchronous TUI startup. Populate `msg_count` on each `SessionListItem` from the DB result.

 In the TUI session list, some sessions do not display a project path. Likely related to the same root cause as the CLI bug (claudbg-9627).
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+Implemented together with claudbg-0yk4 in `src/tui/run.rs`. When `sr.project_path` from disk discovery is empty (cwd not present in first JSONL line), fall back to the `project_path` stored in the DB sessions table (which is populated during `claudbg index` sync by scanning all JSONL entries).
