   Now we have -session-id and it is still broken. :-/ You can only start new sessions with --session-id but you can not continue them with --resume. That's sad ...

   Resuming a session creates a new session id - that is how the feature is designed to work (to allow working of sessions) and works the same in interactive mode.

   @igorkofman Okay, then I misunderstood your comment over here.

   So session-ids are supposed to change in every turn in a multi-turn conversation to the same session. That should really be reflected in the docs.

   I was also surprised having recently read that comment. Furthermore, https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11014257-about-claude-s-max-plan-usage says there's a soft limit of 50 sessions per month which seems like it would be burned up quickly for any reasonable use of this unless 5 hour session windows can have multiple session IDs?

   That's an estimate around typical interactive session use.

    It seems like it would make more sense to use the same session/session_id in --print mode
