[BUG] Claude code --continue starts cli irresponsive
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
System: Windows 11, with only WSL1 installed (and installable)
Environment: windows native claude code 2.0.1 installation (installed through https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/setup#native-binary-installation-beta)
Problem: When i close claude code (ctrl+c / crash / restart / whatever) and want to then resume my session with claude --continue or claude --resume, the cli starts and everything looks right. BUT its irresponsive to any keyboard interaction - i cant write anything and ctrl+c doesnt work either - basically its stuck and irresponsive
Impact: Restoring conversations is presently impossible.
What Should Happen?
obviously, cli should be responsive
Error Messages/Logs
none - just the described behavior: terminal becomes unresponsive and needs to be terminated
Steps to Reproduce
- not sure about the environment, to be honest
- run "claude"
- type in whatever - for example "read the contents of this folder and tell me how X is calculated for me to verify you understand it" (but it can be just "hello" i guess)
- ctrl + c (close claude)
- run "claude -c"
- cli is unresponsive
