Problem

  • When launching Claude Code with ollama launch and then exiting, attempting to resume the session with a --resume flag fails:
    • Error observed: Error: unknown flag: --resume
  • This prevents reattaching to interactive code sessions, breaking workflows that expect long-lived, resumable development sessions.

Why this change matters

  • Resumable sessions are essential for developer productivity....users often start a session, do work, exit the client, and later want to reattach to the same context without losing state.
  • Without a resume mechanism, users would have to recreate session/conversation (files, context, conversation history), which leads to context flow break and reduces adoption of the interactive Claude Code experience in Ollama.

How the change will be used

  • CLI usage example:
    • ollama launch claude --resume <session_id> or ollama launch claude --continue
    • Expected behavior:
      • The CLI recognizes the --resume flag or resume subcommand.
      • It locates the session, re-establishes the program state, and restores the interactive context (conversation history, open files, relevant model state).
      • If the session cannot be resumed (expired, missing, incompatible), a clear error message is returned with guidance.
