What the documentation does not say
"The most recent" is narrower than it sounds: background sessions, sessions started with claude -p or the Agent SDK, and sessions whose first prompt was /loop are skipped. That is why the conversation you just ran is sometimes not the one that comes back. claude -p --continue includes them.
