What's Wrong?
I'm facing the same exact issue as https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16820 which in my humble opinion was incorrectly closed on being identified as a duplicate of 3 other bugs which after reading them myself do not seem at all related or describing the same issue.
bug 16820 and mine here is about the --teleport command itself failing to provide the list of sessions among which to chose the one to teleport. The bug js not about an already selected session not working once teleported as explained in the other bugs.
Also in my case as reported in the bug 16820 as well the /bug command does not work as intended it cancels on the user typing just the first word on the bug description.
claude or claude -c or claude --resumer or any other command to continue or retrieve a session which was already worked locally works perfectly fine.
What Should Happen?
Claude Code should show a list of teleportable sessions but instead it fails completely with an error and no list is offered to the user making it completely impossible to continue working on a session started in the web or android app.

This bug exists and I do not see it being tracked by any active and open bug report.
Please do not close it as a duplicate.
Thanks.
I'm seeing the same behavior in Claude Code native on both v2.1.29 (stable) and v2.1.38 (latest) on Ubuntu 20.04. Logging out and back in doesn't work, and beyond that I'm a bit at a loss.
I can repro this in a Ubuntu 20.04 docker container:
Start container
At container prompt:
The teleport command outputs:
This is so disruptive to typical workflows that it must be quite rare to not yet have the attention of Anthropic.
Seems possibly related to https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/24312
Pulling together a handful of relevant, if not identical issues here.
These two issues appears to be the same or highly related to each other, and share most (if not all) of the behavior of this issue. I am grouping them together because they were both created in early Jan:
These recent issues have the same timing and either observe the same failing teleport behavior and/or failing remote session creation:
I am also observing the exact same problem as the preceding issues with remote session creation failing, so I strongly suspect these are phenotypes of the same underlying cause. Which one the bug filer focuses on is just a matter of what workflows they typically use.
I've just noticed that this issue appears fixed for me in Claude Code 2.1.41 on Ubuntu.
Yes, definitely, for me it is fixed as well.
