When a file changes under Claude, it's now told to speak up if the change looks wrong.

What

When a file changes underneath Claude mid-session, the note it receives no longer asserts that you made the change deliberately and already know about it. It now says to work from the current contents, to say something if the change looks wrong rather than quietly undoing it, and otherwise not to comment on it.

Details
  • The note refers to the Read tool by name instead of a hardcoded string, so it stays correct if the tool is renamed.
Evidence

changed on disk since you last read it

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