What's Wrong?

Description:
When running claude --continue, Claude Code opens but the terminal becomes unresponsive - I cannot type or
provide any input. This was working earlier today on version 2.0.1, but now fails on both 2.0.1 and 2.0.10.

Workaround:
Running claude without the --continue flag, then using /resume command works as expected and allows normal input.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior:
Should be able to type and interact with Claude Code normally, continuing the previous session.
