 "title": "Roll back an agent session to an earlier checkpoint",
 "page_title": "How to roll back an agent session to an earlier checkpoint with Code Agent",
 "summary": "Resume the last session and rewind to an earlier checkpoint when the agent's changes went the wrong way.",
 "who": "A developer who let the agent run for a while, saw the result drift from the goal, and wants to try again from an earlier point.",
 "problem": "A long agent run can take a wrong turn, and starting over loses the useful context from the session so far.",
 "outcome": "The session returns to a chosen checkpoint so the next attempt starts from that point.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `uv run python main.py -c` to resume the most recent session.",
  "Run `/sessions` to see the list of saved sessions if the one you want is not the latest.",
  "Run `/rewind` and pick the checkpoint you want to return to.",
  "Restate the task with a narrower instruction and continue in the same session."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Harvil1/codeAgent repo, run `uv run python main.py -c` to resume the last session, then run `/rewind` to return to <checkpoint name or position>. Expect the session to show the chosen checkpoint as the current point. Verify by asking the agent to restate the last step it will take before it runs anything.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says /rewind returns to a checkpoint but does not say whether file changes on disk are reverted, so check your files after a rewind.",
