Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Sessions

A failed --continue or --resume now tells you the error and exits instead of quietly carrying on.

--continue--resume
What

If restoring a previous session fails, Claude Code prints an explicit exit message naming the underlying error and pointing you at claude --resume to pick a session or start a new one, then exits with status 1. Previously the failure was only logged and the process carried on silently.

Details
  • Exit is recorded with reason "other".
Evidence

Run claude --resume to pick a session, or start a new one.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
