What's Wrong?

I forked a conversation.
worked on the two branches of the conversation separately

After that if I /fork the already forked conversation and run the claude --resume command that it gives me, it does not resume from the point where I did this last /fork but rather from the original /fork that I did

What Should Happen?

ideally the claude --resume command should start from where I made the new /fork

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. start claude and send some messages.
  2. Run /fork to create a fork of the conversation.
  3. run the claude --resume command that you get and work separately on the two sessions you now have
  4. From that newly formed claude session, run /fork again.
  5. Execute the claude --resume command provided after the second fork.
  6. Observe that the session resumes from somewhere else (sometimes the original /fork point, sometimes a different session entirely)
