DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.193

Working Directory Resilience

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.
