The full rebuild path scans SESSION_DIR via glob('*.json') and appends every loaded session to a plain list without deduplicating by session_id. When old-format session_*.json files coexist alongside WebUI-format xxx.json files (both sharing session_id), the index gets duplicate entries, causing frontend Vue key crashes.
Fix: use dict[session_id -> compact_entry] to naturally deduplicate.

glob('*.json') and appends every loaded session to a plain list without
deduplicating by session_id. When old-format session_*.json files coexist
alongside WebUI-format xxx.json files (both sharing the same session_id),
the same session appears multiple times in the index, causing frontend
Vue key collisions and a blank page.

Prefer the entry with the larger message_count when conflicts arise.
