771771The original conversation is intact; resume it with `claude --resume` or keep working in it. See the [error reference](/docs/en/errors#this-session-has-no-saved-transcript) for details.

773### The terminal host died or the session stopped responding
774
775The [supervisor](#the-supervisor-process) runs each background session's terminal in its own host process. When that process dies or stops responding, Claude Code shows the reason and offers a restart; in both cases the conversation is saved and the restart resumes it. The [error reference](/docs/en/errors#terminal-host-process-died) quotes the full messages.
776
777Claude Code never restarts a row running a [shell command](#run-a-shell-command), from `Enter` or from `claude attach`, because that would run the command again; the row's message and `claude attach` both say the command isn't run again.
778
779#### Terminal host died
780
781On Linux and WSL, the supervisor checks each host process every few seconds, whether or not you open the session, and marks the session failed when the process has exited but its connection to the supervisor never closed.
782
783* In agent view, the row shows `terminal host process died — press Enter to restart`. Press `Enter` on it and Claude Code restarts the session on a fresh host process.
784* From the shell, `claude attach <id>` restarts a session already marked failed. Otherwise it reports the cause and exits, telling you to run `claude attach <id>` again.
785
786#### Session isn't responding
787
788When the supervisor accepts an open but no output arrives for about ten seconds, Claude Code ends the attempt and offers a restart. A session that merely stalled, for example across machine sleep, doesn't reach this offer: the supervisor [restarts it on open](#read-session-state) itself.
789
790* In agent view, the footer shows `Press enter again to restart this session — it isn't responding (its conversation is saved and resumes).` Press `Enter` on the same row again and Claude Code stops the unresponsive process and restarts the session; it stops nothing without that second press.
791* From the shell, `claude attach <id>` reports the cause and exits, telling you to run `claude stop <id>`, then `claude attach <id>`.
792
773793### A session fails before starting with a `possibly low memory` note
774794
775795When a background session's process exits before it finishes starting and the host is low on memory, the row's status names the exit and adds `possibly low memory — free some up and retry`.

873| v2.1.247 | On Linux and WSL, a session [whose terminal host process died](#the-terminal-host-died-or-the-session-stopped-responding) fails within seconds with the reason. An open that produces no output ends after about ten seconds with a restart offer, and `Enter` on the row restarts the session with its conversation; `claude attach <id>` reports the cause and exits. Before this release, opening such a session showed `opening… · esc to cancel` indefinitely and `claude attach <id>` waited without reporting an error. |
853874| v2.1.239 | With [vim editor mode](/docs/en/interactive-mode#vim-editor-mode) on, pressing `Esc` in agent view's input switches from INSERT to NORMAL mode and keeps your text, matching the main prompt; in NORMAL mode with text still in the input, pressing `Esc` clears it, and pressing `Esc` on an empty input exits, as the [`Esc` shortcut](#keyboard-shortcuts) describes. Before this release, `Esc` cleared the input. |
854875| v2.1.233 | For a session linked to a GitLab merge request, Claude Code writes the row's label in GitLab's `!1234` reference syntax. You can also paste the merge request's URL into the [dispatch input](#filter-sessions) to select that session. Before this release, the label rendered as `#1234`, and a pasted merge request URL matched a session only when its first prompt contained the URL. |
855876| v2.1.227 | [Deleting a session](#what-deleting-a-session-removes) keeps the session and its worktree while another live Claude Code session is running inside that worktree directory. Agent view shows `not deleted` on the row and the reason in the footer, and `claude rm` prints `kept <id>` with the reason, which names the other session's process ID. Before this release, deleting the session removed the worktree while the other session was still working in it. |
