Can I migrate past AI session transcripts into Obsidian notes without overwriting existing files?

Yes, you can migrate past AI session transcripts safely because the restoration process includes documented safeguards designed specifically to avoid overwriting existing notes and to surface incomplete vault setups before migration.

What is the best way to map historical coding sessions to current project files in Obsidian?

Mapping historical coding sessions to current project files in Obsidian is best done by restoring Codex session transcripts as structured knowledge documents, aligning past decisions and workflows directly with your active project context.

Does restoring Codex CLI transcripts into Obsidian require a specific vault setup?

Restoring Codex CLI transcripts into Obsidian requires a valid vault path, and the helper scripts will automatically surface incomplete vault setups during the pre-extraction scan to ensure your environment is properly configured before migration.

Why are my restored Codex sessions not linking to the correct project notes in my vault?

Restored Codex sessions may not link correctly if your vault setup is incomplete, which is why the scripts enforce safeguards to surface these configuration issues and ensure historical decisions attach properly to project files.

When do I need to catalog Codex sessions before running a vault restoration?

You need to catalog Codex sessions before restoration to ensure all past AI session transcripts are properly indexed, allowing the subsequent restore script to accurately map the history into structured navigable notes within your vault.
