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
