Wake a sleeping Claude session

What it does

Bring back a session that list_sessions shows as asleep, so the owner can use it from claude.ai or the app again, with its history. The box's bridge starts it again when it is sent a message; a session from an earlier bridge cannot come back as itself, so a new session is started that carries on from its transcript, with a new link. A session that is already running is left alone. For about six minutes after the workbench restarts, claude.ai holds a message to a session rather than handing it to the bridge, so none is sent then; this says when to try.

What it needs to know

session

Its link or id from list_sessions, or its name.

message · optional

What to say to it on waking. Default: a note that it was woken and should wait for the owner.

box · optional

Which box: its name and account, "home.frank" or "jordan.northwind", or just "home" when only one of your boxes is called that. Omit it for your current box (switch_box changes it; list_boxes says which it is).

session_box · optional

The box this session runs on, if it runs on one of yours: its name, as the on-box instructions give it ("frankh90.hemlane"). With it, a call that names no box is checked against your current box.

Where it lands

On one of your boxes: the one named in box, or your default box when none is named.
