Resuming a previous chat fails with "No message found with message.uuid of <uuid>"

What happened

When resuming/continuing a previous Claude Code chat, the session failed with:

Claude Code returned an error result: No message found with message.uuid of: cb5f226a-8143-4fc8-8a04-e0c17240ae4a

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Claude Code and resume a prior conversation (e.g. claude --resume or the resume picker).
2. The session reports the error above before any user input is processed.

Expected

The previous chat resumes and is usable.

Actual

Hard error referencing a missing message UUID; chat cannot be continued.

Environment

• OS: macOS 26.3.1 (Darwin 25.3.0, arm64)
• Node: v25.9.0
• Claude Code: installed as Claude.app (desktop app); exact version not captured at error time — happy to add via /status if helpful
• Shell: zsh

Notes

• The UUID cb5f226a-8143-4fc8-8a04-e0c17240ae4a was the value emitted by the error.
• Filing on behalf of the user from a separate Claude Code session.
