Fleet tool authority cannot be combined with exec --resume,

Error message

Fleet tool authority cannot be combined with exec --resume, --session-id, or --continue

What it means

validate_exec_tool_authority_resume rejects combining fleet tool-authority JSON with exec session resumption (--resume, --session-id, --continue). A resumed session restores its own tool surface; applying fresh fleet authority to a restored conversation would change permissions mid-history, so the combination is refused before the turn starts.
