tmux auto-exits when no sessions are alive with tmux-continuum enabled

[risvn]

When tmux-continuum is enabled, tmux auto-exits if there are no active sessions.
This issue does not occur when tmux-continuum is disabled.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enable tmux-continuum with:
2. Start tmux: tmux
3. Close all tmux sessions: tmux kill-session
4. Observe that tmux auto-exits immediately.

Expected Behavior:
Tmux should remain open, waiting for new sessions.

Additional Notes:
Disabling tmux-continuum prevents this issue, so it appears to be related to session auto-restoration.

I'm facing the same problem.

Leaving this here in case someone comes across the same problem. The reason session exits without any errors is because the following function from ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-resurrect/scripts/restore.sh get called

handle_session_0() {
	if is_restoring_from_scratch && ! has_restored_session_0; then
		local current_session="$(tmux display -p "#{client_session}")"
		if [ "$current_session" == "0" ]; then
			tmux switch-client -n
		fi
		tmux kill-session -t "0" # <-- this line is why tmux is crashing
	fi
}

This is my best guess as to what's happening. Tmux start and tmux-continuum gets invoked. tmux-continuum invokes tmux-resurrect/scripts/restore.sh. tmux-resurrect attempts to switch from session 0 to another but no other exists generating error cmdq_error: can't find next session. It then kills the current session.

I fixed this by commenting doing the following:-

cd ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-resurrect
git checkout -b hotfix/keep_0_session_alive
git revert -X theirs 5f5f9d8fd5ff9769e5ef08d64a430ee7ab525dc7
# :q to exit vim
tmux
