What's Wrong?
This was previously working for me during the free credits period.
Now I am getting "Error: Failed to fetch session metadata" when I attempt to resume from my machine using:claude --teleport session_XXXXX.
I have made sure to stand in the same git repository on the latest commit.
What Should Happen?
The session should resume in Claude Code so I can e.g. run things the sandboxed environment does not allow.
