Claude Code Frozen After Exiting And Re-entering Cc

When running sepcify.xxx in claude code, the task stalls after closing and re-entering cc - requests freeze, including keyboard interrupts like Ctrl-C. This step is critical in SQL upgrade workflows, where precise control over state is essential.

Essentially, after closing and re-entering cc, the tool’s internal process appears to reset but fails to restore full functionality - halting user interaction and halting execution.

Behind the scene: the state machine resets, but rollback buffers and event listeners remain half-initialized, creating a deadlock when interacted with again. This isn’t a timeout - it’s a structural blockage in how the code manages session state transitions.

Some users mistake this for a glitch; in reality, it’s a known edge case tied to how claude handles persistent task contexts across CLI reinitialization.

To guard against this: restart claude fully after re-entering, avoid auto-reconnect features mid-task, and verify cc’s responsiveness before jumping in.

Is your tool freezing not a lag, but a silent state lock? Always check for session persistence after re-entry - your workflow depends on it.
