--resume/--continue no longer renders previous conversation in terminal

Description
When using claude --resume or claude --continue, the conversation context is restored (Claude remembers the previous conversation and can reference it), but the terminal starts blank — previous messages are no longer rendered visually.
This used to work — the previous conversation messages were displayed in the terminal when resuming, allowing the user to see the conversation history.
Current behavior
claude --resume/claude --continueopens a session- Claude has full context of the previous conversation (it can reference prior messages)
- The terminal shows no previous messages — it starts blank as if it were a new session
Expected behavior
- Previous conversation messages should be rendered in the terminal when resuming, as they used to be
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.85
- OS: Ubuntu Linux 6.8.0-106-generic
- Shell: bash
- Terminal: standard terminal emulator
