What's Wrong?
When ~/.claude/projects/$projectname is a symbolic link, running
claude --resume $session
runs fine, but
claude --resume
says no sessions found
What Should Happen?
the claude --resume supposed to show all the sessions available under ~/.claude/projects/$projectname/*
instead, the latest claude does NOT follow the link and says no sessions found.
