What's Wrong?

I wanted to access a conversation from a deleted folder.

What Should Happen?

The conversation located at /Users/amos/.claude/projects/-Users-amos-Documents-...-mek-updated-install-v2/ecac741d-64e2-4eda-b120-1ff7d87dc130.jsonl should have been available to select or resume from

Error Messages/Logs

That conversation cannot be found in search, even when searching all projects, all branches, or all worktrees. Not even resuming it via CLI arguments works, even though it clearly exists:


$ claude --resume ecac741d-64e2-4eda-b120-1ff7d87dc130                                    
No conversation found with session ID: ecac741d-64e2-4eda-b120-1ff7d87dc130

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use Claude Code
2. Delete folder
3. Try to resuscitate conversation in a different folder
4. Fail
