Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Make claude -c create new conversation if there's no conversation to resume (or make it claude -c --force act like such etc). That makes sense because user wants to resume conversation not knowing it even existed. so let's act like he resumes the empty conversation. that's much more useful recovery than just error message
