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.

Session load failures now explain themselves

Sessions

When a session transcript won't load, you're told exactly why in plain words.

What

When a session transcript cannot be read, the error says why in plain words: the file is a symbolic link, something other than a regular file is in its place, it exceeds the size limits, or it changed while being read, in which case you are told to run the command again.

Details
  • Replaces raw filesystem error codes in the session load path.
  • Symlinked transcripts are reported as unsupported rather than silently followed.
Evidence

this session's transcript is a symbolic link, which session storage does not read through.

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