What

When the shell reports back a working directory that looks like a Windows NT device-namespace path, Claude Code now logs a warning and keeps the previous directory instead of adopting it. This joins the existing guards for dot segments, network paths and foreign automounts, and runs on every read-back.

Evidence

shell cwd read-back is an NT-namespace device path; ignoring

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