Claude Code returned an error result: No message found with message.uuid of: cb5f226a-8143-4fc8-8a04-e0c17240ae4a

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code and resume a prior conversation (e.g. claude --resume or the resume picker).
  2. The session reports the error above before any user input is processed.

Expected

The previous chat resumes and is usable.

Actual

Hard error referencing a missing message UUID; chat cannot be continued.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 26.3.1 (Darwin 25.3.0, arm64)
  • Node: v25.9.0
  • Claude Code: installed as Claude.app (desktop app); exact version not captured at error time — happy to add via /status if helpful
  • Shell: zsh

Notes

  • The UUID cb5f226a-8143-4fc8-8a04-e0c17240ae4a was the value emitted by the error.
  • Filing on behalf of the user from a separate Claude Code session.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by checking the message storage for the missing UUID cb5f226a-8143-4fc8-8a04-e0c17240ae4a and ensuring that the message is properly stored or retrieving it from a backup if available.

Guidance

  • Verify that the message with the specified UUID exists in the storage or database used by Claude Code.
  • Check for any errors or issues in the message retrieval process that might be causing the message to not be found.
  • Consider checking the application logs for any related errors or warnings that might indicate the cause of the issue.
  • If the message is not found, try to retrieve it from a backup or archive if one is available.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not specify any specific code-related details.

Notes

The solution may depend on the internal implementation of Claude Code and its message storage mechanism, which is not specified in the issue. Additionally, the exact version of Claude Code is not provided, which might be relevant for troubleshooting.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to retrieve the missing message from a backup or archive if available, as the issue seems to be related to a missing message rather than a version-specific bug.
