Qwen Code

Hansard imports Qwen Code history from both the older tmp/ folder layout and the current projects/ layout, and skips temporary runtime files. The native CLI 0.24.7 has been tested with a local synthetic endpoint. Desktop, editor, SDK, daemon, and messaging interfaces need separate acquisition trials.

Qwen Chat is a separate product. The coverage reference tracks Qwen Code’s desktop, browser, editor, SDK, messaging and batch surfaces independently. A browser connected to a Qwen Code daemon does not establish cloud execution.

How the import works

Hansard scans Qwen Code’s folder (~/.qwen by default) for project prompt logs and manual checkpoints, older single-file JSON chats, and current or archived JSONL chat trees. For a chat tree, Hansard starts at the last entry in the file and follows each entry’s parent back to the start, which is the branch Qwen Code resumes. Pieces of one message that share an ID are combined. Entries on abandoned branches stay only in the archive’s copy of the original file.

Subagent records become their own linked conversations. Scheduled prompts and runtime notices are kept as context, not as messages you typed. When an automatic chat transcript covers the same session as a prompt log, the transcript replaces the prompt-only session. Manual checkpoints stay separate sessions. Older single-file chats do not record a working directory, so Hansard leaves them without a project instead of guessing one.

When Qwen Code’s shared usage_record.jsonl has a matching entry, Hansard adds its duration, tool results, and edited-line counts to the session. The archive keeps an exact copy of the usage file as Hansard read it.

Assistant records name the requested model, while API telemetry and the usage ledger can name a different response model. Hansard preserves the assistant’s recorded model and the independent ledger summary without substituting one for the other. Telemetry alone does not establish a message-to-response link.

Qwen Code 0.25.0 state records preserve model selections, approval state, retries, child readiness, turn outcomes, context recall and branch checkpoints. Source snapshots do not change the active parent chain. Managed-session headers, events and commit markers remain typed source records. Hansard does not project their internal events into additional turns or billing counters.

Import and keep current

Import now

hansard import --source qwen-code --since all
hansard index rebuild

You do not need Qwen Code installed to import its saved history.

Keep current

With Automatic source selection, the watcher still includes qwen-code, so anything new in Qwen Code’s folder is archived. Hansard does not install, start, or configure Qwen Code.

Review the import in the app

1. When the import finishes, open Sessions and selectFilter & sort.
2. Set Source to Qwen Code and setTime to the window you imported. UseFolder to narrow the list when you use this harness in several projects.
3. Select a conversation to check its messages, tool calls, files, commits, model, and token usage.

To keep archiving new sessions from a local harness, openSettings → Imports. Automaticfollows every supported harness installed on this computer.Custom lets you turn individual harnesses on or off. Cloud sources turn on separately under Cloud agents, and ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, and Gemini Notebook / NotebookLM exports import withImport export…. Each also has its own import command. If a conversation you expect is missing after you reset the filters, run the import command on this page again with --explain-skips where the source supports it.

What Hansard preserves

• Chat messages, reasoning, tool calls and results, diffs, and token usage for each message.
• Native tool failure statuses, structured shell output and exit codes, and the actual file patch, which takes precedence over requested edit text.
• Embedded image bytes on user messages and tool results. External file references remain unavailable when their bytes were not recorded.
• Prompt-only sessions and manual checkpoints with their paths.
• Archived chats, and each subagent journal as a linked conversation.
• Scheduled prompts and runtime notices as context rather than your own messages.
• Exact copies of the original files, including the shared usage file.

Known limitations

• Lock files, temporary streams, and other files Qwen Code used while running are not imported.
• A chat tree with an unknown record type or a broken parent chain is not imported, rather than read with the closest known format.
• The historical format audit covers releases through 0.21.8. A separate native 0.24.7 trial verifies initial and resumed turns, edits, failures, an image result, repeat import, and offline raw rebuild. Other clients, branches, compaction, uploads, hosted accounting, and full viewer acceptance remain unverified.
• A separate upstream audit covers CLI 0.25.0 with synthetic regressions. It does not establish coverage of every intervening historical release. No local 0.25.0 store was available for native acceptance. Managed-session transaction verification and resource reconstruction remain unimplemented.
• A model that cannot read images may save a skipped-image notice without any image bytes. That notice remains a tool result; it is not an attachment.
• Daemon JSON and JSONL exports are different from native chat files and are not accepted by this importer. A native export trial omitted embedded image bytes, per-message models and some message-level usage. Keep the original Qwen Code folder when it is available.

Refresh an existing archive

To update Qwen Code conversations that an older Hansard version imported, reimport them from Qwen Code’s original files:

hansard import --source qwen-code --since all
hansard index rebuild

The current parser corrects failed-tool and changed-line accounting, preserves structured results and images, and binds the shared usage ledger for raw rebuild. Sessions archived by an earlier parser need a reimport to establish that binding. Afterward, if original files disappear, use the verified preserved copies:

hansard rebuild --from-raw --provider qwen --since all
