happier --resume doesn't accept Happier session IDs #131

Description

Summary

happier --resume <happier-session-id> fails because the Happier session ID (e.g. cmmqnkplogx6ls93czcb78cl1) is passed directly to Claude Code's --resume, which only accepts UUIDs.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a session: happier --yolo
  2. Note the Happier session ID from happier daemon list (e.g. cmmqnkplogx6ls93czcb78cl1)
  3. Try to resume: happier --resume cmmqnkplogx6ls93czcb78cl1 --yolo

Result:

Error: --resume requires a valid session ID when used with --print. 
Session IDs must be in UUID format (e.g., 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000). 
Provided value "cmmqnkplogx6ls93czcb78cl1" is not a valid UUID

Exit code 1 from the Claude Code subprocess.

Expected Behavior

Happier should recognize its own session IDs and resolve them to the corresponding Claude Code UUID before passing --resume to Claude Code. The mapping already exists in session logs (the tag: field):

Session created/loaded: cmmqnkplogx6ls93czcb78cl1 (tag: 5f6bbc1b-41cc-4bda-8ef6-5115858b125a)

Workaround

Manually find the Claude UUID in the Happier logs and use that:

grep "tag:" ~/.happier/logs/*.log | grep <happier-session-id>
# then
happier --resume <claude-uuid> --yolo

This is painful and not discoverable.

Additional Context

happier daemon list only shows Happier session IDs, not Claude UUIDs. So the natural flow of "list sessions → pick one → resume it" is broken. Users have to dig through logs to find the UUID mapping.
