Sessions and recovery

Continuing earlier conversations

Section titled “Continuing earlier conversations”
Terminal window
node .\babel-cli\dist\index.js resume

Inside a session, /resume continues a persisted conversation. Session state is local to your machine.

Checkpoints (in-session)

Section titled “Checkpoints (in-session)”
/checkpoint    mark a restore point
/restore       return to a checkpoint

Undo (CLI only)

Section titled “Undo (CLI only)”
Terminal window
node .\babel-cli\dist\index.js undo

undo restores the last checkpoint. The TUI has no /undo command — this split is intentional. Do not trust any documentation (including older Babel prose) that suggests typing /undo inside a session; use /checkpoint and /restore in-session, or CLI undo.

Limits to know

Section titled “Limits to know”
  • Sessions and checkpoints are local runtime state, not a distributed history; treat them as part of your working copy.
  • Checkpoints restore code state; they do not “unsend” provider API calls or revert your provider account spend.
