What

The path that handles a corrupted Claude config file (telemetry for the parse error, backing up the bad file, and the "Claude configuration file at ... is corrupted" message) is now wrapped so a failure inside it is logged instead of thrown.

Details
  • Previously an error while reporting the corruption escaped and could take down the surrounding operation.
  • Failures now log at error level and reporting continues.
Evidence

Could not report the corrupt config:

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