Start Claude Code again.\"\n\n- \"Claude Code couldn't restart. Your conversation is saved. Start Claude Code again and run \/resume to pick it up.\"\n\n`\/resume` reopens an earlier conversation, by ID or name, or from a list.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf a restart fails, you now get told what to do next. When the second message appears, your conversation was saved, and `\/resume` brings it back.\n\n- Area: Updates\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
