`/resume` always returns "No conversations found to resume" despite existing conversation files

Bug Description
The /resume command consistently returns "No conversations found to resume" across all projects, even though conversation .jsonl files exist in the expected storage directories.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.97
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.4.0)
- Shell: zsh
Steps to Reproduce
- Have an active Claude Code session in any project directory
- End the session
- Start a new session in the same directory
- Run
/resume - Get:
No conversations found to resume
Evidence
Conversation files exist in the project storage path:
~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/26eac799-....jsonl (2.3MB, recent)
~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/847775a2-....jsonl (63KB, recent)
~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/4d97fb76-....jsonl
~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/f560c303-....jsonl
Additionally, session directories exist alongside the .jsonl files. The data is clearly being written — it's just not being read back by /resume.
Scope
This is not project-specific — it reproduces across every project directory on this machine. The issue persists across sessions.
