What's Wrong?
Claude Code returns a 500 Internal Server Error repeatedly when attempting to use the continue command. The error persists across multiple retries in the same session. Three consecutive attempts all returned the same error type with different request IDs.
What Should Happen?
The continue command should resume the previous task without error.
