Recover bricked Claude Code sessions with "thinking blocks" error

The repo does one painful thing well: it inspects SESSION_ID.jsonl, pinpoints where streaming/interleaving corrupted 'thinking' blocks, and offers diagnose, fix (with auto-backup), and nuke fallbacks. It's pragmatic and ruthless — small CLI commands, clear recovery workflow, and rescue-first guidance — but it's narrowly targeted to Claude Code users and won't matter to most people.
