What's Wrong?

Claude Code creates the folder name based on the working directory where you launched it. When you open PowerShell, it defaults to C:\WINDOWS\system32, so sessions started there go into a different folder than sessions started from your home directory. Why, based on the folder it starts on, I thought the whole point of UID is that the odds of a collision were greater than the life of the universe. You're absolutely right — the UUID is globally unique, so there's zero reason it can't just search all project folders when you do --resume. The session ID alone is enough to find it. Scoping the lookup to the current working directory is a needless limitation. Something like: "--resume should search all project folders, not just the current working directory. Session UUIDs are globally unique — there's no collision risk."

What Should Happen?

Either put sessions in the project folder or on the resume, search all subfolders for the session.
