What's Wrong?

Named sessions cannot be resumed in non-interactive mode

What Should Happen?

The session should resume correctly in non-interactive mode

Error Messages/Logs

Error: --resume requires a valid session ID when used with --print. Usage: claude -p --resume <session-id>. Session IDs must be in UUID format (e.g., 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000). Provided value "test-session" is not a valid UUID

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a named session

``claude -n "test-session" hello``

  1. Quit with Ctrl-C
  2. Attempt resuming the session in non-interactive mode

``claude -p -r "test-session" hello``

Claude Model

None

Is this a regression?

I don't know
