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
- start
claudeand send some messages. - Run
/forkto create a fork of the conversation. - run the
claude --resumecommand that you get and work separately on the two sessions you now have - From that newly formed claude session, run
/forkagain. - Execute the
claude --resumecommand provided after the second fork. - Observe that the session resumes from somewhere else (sometimes the original /fork point, sometimes a different session entirely)
