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.

Claude Code v2.1.246

Read separates the file it opens from the file it reports

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal2
File Tools

Reads now track the file opened separately from the file reported, across all file types.

What

Reads now take a separate path to actually open, falling back to the resolved path when there isn't one, and fire a callback once the bytes are off disk. This applies to notebooks, images, PDFs and plain text alike.

Details
  • Bookkeeping for handover reads is skipped when the call came from another session.
  • Image decoding picks a different reader on that remote path.
Evidence

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