For some sessions, that session only resumes when a particular environment variable is set. An environment variable is a named setting passed to a program when it starts.\n\n- Outside Windows: the variable setting is placed at the front of the printed resume command.\n\n- On Windows: Claude Code instead prints a line saying the session resumes only with the environment variable.\n\nBefore, the hint never included it.\n\n**Why**\n\nCopying the printed command now gives you what you need to resume such a session. On Windows, set the named variable yourself before running the command.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
