Claude Code v2.1.193 ·

Working Directory Resilience

Entry

What

If the current working directory is deleted while Claude Code is running, it now recovers by changing to the nearest existing ancestor directory instead of crashing.

Details
  • Logs a warning: "Original directory X no longer exists — returned to Y instead."
  • Walks up the directory tree until it finds an existing path.
Evidence

New recovery logic (search for "no longer exists — returned to" or "Original directory")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
