[Bug]: Windows restart auto-enters agent /resume state with no obvious toggle #12250

Description

@AmethystLiang

Operating system

Windows

Orca version

Unknown

Details

Short summary: After restarting Orca on Windows, the app comes back already in an agent /resume (or equivalent restored TUI) state. There is no obvious setting to disable this auto-restore behavior.

What happened?
On Windows, relaunch lands the session in a resumed agent state (/resume visible / session restored). Users cannot find where to turn this off.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use Orca on Windows with an active agent session.
  2. Quit and relaunch Orca.
  3. Observe that a previous agent session is auto-restored into a resume-like state.

Expected behavior

  • Either no auto-resume unless configured, or
  • A clear setting to disable “restore agent sessions on launch,” easy to discover.

Actual behavior
App restarts into /resume (or restored agent TUI) without a discoverable toggle.

Additional context
Related session restoration on Windows: #11340, #11143. This report focuses on unwanted auto-resume + missing discoverable toggle.

Please comment with: exact Orca version, Windows version, which agent (Claude/Codex/etc.), and a screenshot of the restored state.
