Error message

history.recentlyOpenedPathsList has no entries.

What it means

An EmptyResultError from recent-workspaces when 'history.recentlyOpenedPathsList' exists but its entries array is empty. The key is present in the ItemTable, yet Trae recorded zero recent workspaces/folders/files.

Solutions

1. Open a workspace in Trae, close it, and retry recent-workspaces.
2. Fall back to `opencli trae-solo workspaces-list` to enumerate workspaceStorage folders directly.
3. Check the raw value with `state-get --key history.recentlyOpenedPathsList` to confirm entries is [].

Example fix

// before
opencli trae-solo recent-workspaces   # entries: []
// after
opencli trae-solo workspaces-list   # scan workspaceStorage instead

const val = getValue(TRAE_GLOBAL_STATE_DB, 'history.recentlyOpenedPathsList');
if (val && (!val.entries || !val.entries.length)) console.warn('history key exists but entries is empty');

try {
  return await recentWorkspaces(args);
} catch (e) {
  if (/has no entries/.test(e.message)) return workspacesList(args);
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The stored value parses to an object without entries, or entries was explicitly emptied (user cleared recent list in Trae, or history was pruned).

Common situations: User clicked 'Clear Recently Opened' in Trae; Trae closed without persisting history; profile duplicated/reset wiping entries while keeping the key shell.
