Previously the failure was only logged and the process carried on silently.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Exit is recorded with reason `\"other\"`.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`Run claude --resume to pick a session, or start a new one.`\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Names: `--continue`, `--resume`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
