What's Wrong?

What Should Happen?

Every chat spawned in claude agents should appear in the /resume "dropdown", wheter it is a branch or not.

Addressed by a merged fix. Please reopen with a fresh repro if you still see this on a current version.

I am still seeing this on 2.1.181.

Steps to repro:

  1. open CC
  2. resume session with /resume {source session name}
  3. background session with - press <- <-, session is now visible in Agents View
  4. navigate back to session by pressing Enter
  5. branch session - /branch {branched session name}
  6. return to Agents View - <- <-

At that point {source session name} is still present in the Agents View and it is associated with the branched conversation - navigating to it opens the branch, not the source
