--resume-drops-turn
A Claude Code CLI flag, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.
What it is
A hidden flag lets you declare which turn a truncating resume is meant to discard.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.223.
Presence across releases
The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.

Documentation pages
- Agent SDK reference - TypeScript mentions it Claude Code CLI
A reference table page is one whose own table defines this name, and it is where the description above came from. A page that mentions it carries the name somewhere in its text and may say nothing about it at all. Every page carrying it.
Names beside it
Every CLI flag in the inventory starting --resume, up to twelve of them.
--resumeResume a specific session by ID or name, or show an interactive picker to choose a session. The picker and name search include sessions that added this directory with /add-dir. When you pass a session ID, Claude Code searches the current project directory and its git worktrees, then every other project on this machine. Before v2.1.223, the ID search covered only the current project directory and its git worktrees. [Background sessions](/docs/en/agent-view) appear in the picker marked with bg 2.1.138

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the CLI flag does. All CLI flags.
