When loading fails with one particular kind of error, Claude Code now shows that error's own message. Before, it always showed a generic message such as \"Unable to load transcript\" or \"Failed to resume session\".\n\nResume also runs an extra check before the loaded session is used.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou get a clearer reason when a session cannot be resumed.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Names: `--resume`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
