What
When Claude Code fails to release an internal lock, it now describes the failure instead of dumping the raw error.
Details
- A lock that was already released reports that it was no longer held and that the protected section may have run without exclusivity.
- Any other failure reports that the lock directory could not be removed and is left to go stale.
- A release that rejects with something that cannot be described is reported as such rather than throwing inside the error handler.
Evidence
lock directory could not be removed and is left to go stale
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
