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

Write results say when content was replaced without showing a diff

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
File Tools

Writes that replaced a file but produced no diff now say so instead of looking like nothing happened.

What

When an update produced no diff but did replace the file's contents, the result is now shown as a create with the note "previous content replaced (no diff shown)" instead of appearing to have done nothing.

Details
  • Applies in both the condensed and full write views.
Evidence

previous content replaced (no diff shown)

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