[BUG] claude resume freezes terminal on Windows 11 - v1.0.96

Description

The claude resume command causes complete terminal freeze on Windows 11. The terminal becomes unresponsive and requires force-closing. This makes session resumption completely unusable.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11 (Build 10.0.26100.4946)
• Claude CLI Version: 1.0.96 (Claude Code)
• Terminal: Windows Terminal / Command Prompt
• Installation Method: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Reproduction Steps

1. Install Claude CLI: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
2. Start a session: claude
3. End the session
4. Try to resume: claude resume
5. Terminal immediately freezes - no keyboard input accepted, no response

Expected Behavior

The claude resume command should restore the previous session and allow continued interaction.

Actual Behavior

Terminal becomes completely unresponsive upon executing claude resume. No error message is displayed. The only solution is to force-close the terminal window.

Additional Context

• Fresh installation today (August 29, 2025)
• Regular claude command works fine
• PATH had to be manually configured to include C:\Users\jharvill\AppData\Roaming\npm
• This appears related to issue #6823 which reports similar freezing behavior with other Claude commands

Workaround

Currently using claude to start fresh sessions instead of claude resume. This works but loses all session context.

Impact

This is a critical usability issue that prevents session continuity, a core feature of Claude CLI.
