…43202) When `claude --resume <id>` is called from a directory different from where the session was started, Claude looks in the wrong project folder, falls through to web-session logic, and throws a misleading auth error. The wrapper resolves the session file by searching all project dirs, reads the original cwd from the JSONL, and cd's there before resuming. Fixes: anthropics#43202

Summary
examples/resume-cwd-wrapper.sh— a shell function that wrapsclaudeto fix session resume failures caused by working directory mismatchesRoot Cause
Sessions are stored at
~/.claude/projects/<ENCODED_CWD>/<session-id>.jsonlwhereENCODED_CWDencodes the working directory at session start. Whenclaude --resume <id>is called from a different CWD (e.g. after a directory rename, or in a new shell tab), Claude looks in the wrong project folder, falls through to web-session logic, and throws:...instead of a meaningful "session not found" message.
Fix
The wrapper shell function:
claude --resume <session-id>calls~/.claude/projects/across all project dirs for the matching.jsonlfilecwdfrom the first JSONL entry that contains itcds to that directory before calling the realclaudebinary, so the project-path lookup succeedsUsage
