What's Wrong?

Version: 2.0.76

Suddenly I am unable to rewind code. The only options I get are to rewind the conversation. If I select a checkpoint far enough back, in this case christmas day morning, then it allows rewinding no problem. Something happened to change the way the checkpoints are saved since that time. I didn't change anything in settings, in fact they are all still the default.

Rewind

Confirm you want to restore to the point before you sent this message:

│ in a separate claude code session rewinding has become impossible. I've created this new session to test if rewinding is
│ possible here. so if you can make a very simple change to the code like adding a print statement to main.dart I can check if
│ it's possible to rewind to that.

The conversation will be forked.
The code will be unchanged.
