Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [x] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.98
- Operating System: Windows 11
- Terminal: PowerShell
Bug Description
The claude -r command displays the list of sessions but then immediately hangs/freezes, making the terminal unresponsive. The application becomes completely unresponsive and requires forcefully closing the terminal window.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open PowerShell on Windows 11
- Execute the command
claude -r - Observe that the list of sessions appears
- Notice that the terminal becomes unresponsive immediately after the list is displayed
Expected Behavior
The claude -r command should display the list of sessions and then either:
- Return to the command prompt for further input
- Allow user interaction to select a session
- Complete the command execution normally without hanging
Actual Behavior
- The command displays the session list as expected
- Immediately after displaying the list, the terminal/application hangs
- The terminal becomes completely unresponsive
- User is forced to close the terminal window and reopen it to continue working
- No error messages or additional output is provided
Additional Context
- This issue occurs consistently every time
claude -ris executed - The hang happens specifically after the session list is displayed
- No error logs or messages are shown when the hang occurs
- The issue requires force-closing the terminal window as no other recovery method works
- Other Claude CLI commands may or may not be affected (not specified)
