Conversation Title Rendering Inconsistent Between -r and --resume Flags
Bug Description
Claude Code shows different conversation titles when using -r versus
--resume, and displays generic message content instead of proper
summary titles in conversation selection.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create conversations with descriptive activities in a project
- Run claude -r to see conversation list
- Run claude --resume to compare results
- Notice titles show generic message beginnings like "Hey, I'm trying
to find which..." instead of descriptive summaries
Expected Behavior:
Both -r and --resume should show identical, descriptive conversation
titles based on the summary field in conversation .jsonl files
Actual Behavior:
- Conversation titles display generic first message content instead of
summary field
- Different results between -r and --resume flags
- Summary field exists correctly in files but isn't displayed properly
Environment:
- Claude Code version: 1.0.48
- Platform: macOS Darwin 24.5.0
- Projects affected: Multiple (LumaFreshDesk-Stable, others)
Additional Context:
The conversation .jsonl files contain proper summary fields like
"summary": "Analysis & Review - Customer Support Ticket Analysis" but
the UI displays the first message content instead. This makes
conversation identification nearly impossible in projects with many
conversations.
