Problem Statement

I attempting to resume a Claude session using:

claude -resume

UI briefly shows:
✽ Loading conversations…

And then displayed:
Resume
/esume█

resume
1 day ago · 2 messages · -

claude -resume
1 day ago · 6 messages · -

Enter or Esc to finish · type to filter

I thought there was some type of bug since most of my previous sessions were missing from the list.

However, everything worked properly when I used claude --resume

Proposed Solution

Show an error message saying "did you mean --resume?"

Alternative Solutions

Work the same as --resume

Priority

Low - Nice to have
