What's Wrong?

I created a claude CLI session with Fable[1m] in a folder that didn't have a repository in it.
The session work completed, and I used '/exit'.

The session exists on claude.ai (via remote-control being auto-enabled on every session).
When I try to use 'claude --teleport <sessionID>' from the claude.ai link, no session history is restored.

Additionally, if you teleport into the session where no history loads, the claude.ai says there is an issue connecting to the terminal session.

What Should Happen?

When I go to the same folder where I had the original session and use the 'claude --teleport <sessionID>' command, I expect the conversation history that exists on claude.ai to be downloaded locally so I can continue the conversation locally in the terminal.
