Short session IDs shown by CC cannot be used with /resume (requires full UUID)
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 6, 2026 by unthingable Closed Jun 3, 2026
Summary
Claude Code displays short session IDs (e.g. 9087632b) in its UI, but /resume only accepts full UUIDs (e.g. 9087632b-3d6a-4401-8d30-f120f2e84411). This makes the displayed IDs useless for resumption.
Steps to reproduce
- Note the short session ID shown by Claude Code (e.g. in the
/resumesession list or the session header) - Run
/resume 9087632b
Result: Session 9087632b was not found.
Expected: /resume accepts the same short ID format that CC displays, or the UI displays the full UUID that /resume actually requires.
Why this matters
CC switched to displaying short IDs, but /resume was not updated to match. The ID you're shown is literally not the ID you can use. Either the display format and the resume format need to match, or /resume should accept prefix matches of the full UUID.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.132
- Platform: macOS 24.6.0
