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.
