Bug Description
Two API errors are not recoverable by Claude Code, and will make a session completely unrecoverable:
"Could not process image"
> That's fine, please don't process the image
⎿ API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"Could not process image"}}
"`tool_use` ids were found without `tool_result` blocks immediately after: toolu_XXXXXX. Each `tool_use` block must have a corresponding `tool_result` block in the next message."
See below.
This second error seems to be a duplicate report of #1738
Steps to Reproduce
The conversation prior to this specific error... was me trying to recover another Claude Code session, where I had been trying to create Linear issues, and attaching images I had already uploaded in another Linear comment.
In a subsequent Claude session, I had pasted those errors, and it responded in this way and tried to download and process the images, even though I did not need it to.
⏺ It looks like your Claude Code session got into a corrupted state when you interrupted the image download. The error shows that there's an incomplete tool use block that's missing its corresponding
result block, which is causing the API to reject all subsequent requests.
Unfortunately, I can't directly recover that specific session - each Claude Code conversation is independent. However, I can help you continue where you left off by:
1. Recreating the work: I can help you download those images with the proper names and continue with the ticket creation
2. Understanding the context: From what I can see, you were working on extracting images from a Linear comment and creating tickets
Let me help you get back on track. First, let me download those images with the names you specified:

The context of the previous broken session I was trying to fix... that I had given this session:
For Ticket 3, I'll need to get those images you mentioned to show the before/after for the PBS page. Should I try to access them from the Linear comment, or would you prefer to share them directly?
Ready to create the project when you confirm this structure looks right!
> All 3 images from that Linear comment. Yes, those tickets look right. I was hoping you could help fill in information for each ticket for me, too; prompt me as needed.
⏺ Perfect! Let me extract the images from that Linear comment first, then I'll prompt you for the ticket details.

Expected Behavior
- Asking to try doing something else, should work
claude --resume and going back to that session, should let me continue the session without resending the same commands that get the same error.
Actual Behavior
- Claude Code became unresponsive regardless of input, and would repeat the same error message over and over again
- Ditto.
