What's Wrong?

Claude Code version: 2.1.204
Model: Opus 4.8
Working directory: ~\catalyst (Windows)

Description

Running claude --resume opens a session manager/orchestrator screen instead of resuming a previous session. The UI is completely non-functional — keyboard input is not registered, navigation doesn't work, and there is no way to interact with or resume any of the listed sessions.

Actual Behavior

A session manager screen is displayed with:

• Two completed sessions visible (template-starter-alpha, /exit)
• An input field at the bottom labeled "Describe a task for a new session"
• No keyboard input is accepted — typing, arrow keys, and Enter do not work
• The UI appears frozen/unresponsive

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

• Either prompt the user to select a past session to resume, with a fully interactive UI
• Or resume the most recent session directly
