What

On Windows, when Claude Code checks the PowerShell interpreter path for policy purposes, a check that times out now reports "cannot stat path (timed out after ..." with the timeout value, rather than looking like an ordinary failure.

Details
  • The result of checking each path is cached in a shared map, so repeated checks of the same path do not re-run the stat.
  • Windows-only code path.
Evidence

cannot stat path (timed out after

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