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

Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Apr 6, 2026 by felipekj Closed May 24, 2026

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 --continue opens 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
