What's Wrong?

Description:

My organization's admin accidentally set my account to a custom role with no permissions. After IT restored my permissions, my Claude Code sessions no longer appear in FleetView and --resume fails even though the .jsonl files are still present on disk.

Steps to reproduce:

Admin resets user account permissions (or account undergoes any server-side change)
Local .jsonl session files remain in ~/.claude/projects/<project>/
Run claude --resume <session-id> using the ID from the filename
Error: No conversation found with session ID: <id>
Expected behavior: Sessions stored locally should be resumable regardless of server-side account changes. The session ID in the filename matches the sessionId field inside the file.

Actual behavior: CLI reports no conversation found. FleetView also no longer lists the sessions.

Environment:

Claude Code version: 2.1.87
OS: macOS 25.5.0
Sessions affected: 16 local .jsonl files across two project directories
Impact: Lost access to ~16 active working sessions. All conversation history and in-progress work is inaccessible through normal means despite data being present on disk.

What Should Happen?

Should be able to go resume sessions even though my permissions were reset
