ClaudeSDKAgent resumeData.sessionId must be a string.

Error message

ClaudeSDKAgent resumeData.sessionId must be a string.

What it means

The restore handler fetches the version to restore with getVersion(versionId); when it returns null the endpoint returns 404 with this message. Nothing can be restored because the version record is absent.

Solutions

  1. Fetch GET /api/agents/:agentId/versions and pick an existing versionId
  2. Fix the versionId path parameter
  3. Connect to the storage environment that contains the version history
  4. Re-snapshot the agent configuration to create a new version to restore

Example fix

// before
restore(versionId); // invented id
// after
const versions = await fetch(`/api/agents/${agentId}/versions`).then(r => r.json());
if (versions.length) restore(versions[0].id);
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const versions = await fetch(`/api/agents/${agentId}/versions`).then(r => r.json());
if (!versions.some(v => v.id === versionId)) throw new Error(`Cannot restore: version ${versionId} missing`);

Type guard

function restorable(versions: {id: string}[], versionId: string): boolean {
  return versions.some(v => v.id === versionId);
}

Try / catch

try {
  await fetch(`/api/agents/${agentId}/versions/${versionId}/restore`, { method: 'POST' });
} catch (e) {
  if (isHttpError(e) && e.status === 404 && /Version with id .* not found$/.test(e.message)) {
    // list versions and choose a valid one
  } else throw e;
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: POST restore where :versionId doesn't exist in the agents store for any agent.

Common situations: Version data purged by cleanup jobs; restoring from a fresh database that never recorded that version; copying versionIds between environments.
