Claude Code v2.1.227

Daemon lock recovers when the lock path is not a regular file

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal1
Daemon

Claude Code starts even if something odd is sitting at its lock file path.

What

If a directory, fifo, socket or symlink sits at the daemon lock path, Claude Code now removes it and retries once instead of failing to start.

Details
  • EISDIR and ENXIO errors during removal trigger the same cleanup; a symlink loop (ELOOP) is treated as an existing lock and left alone.
  • The warning is logged once per process.
Evidence

removing it as the legacy path does

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