What
When a file that was placed into a session cannot be inspected through the storage layer, Claude Code now re-resolves it as a system, workspace or home path and inspects it directly on the host, rather than failing. Only a file that is genuinely unreadable still raises an error.
Details
The storage lookup returns an explicit "not served" result instead of throwing, which is what enables the fallback.
Modification times read this way feed the checks that detect a file changing under you.
Evidence
seeded file not stat-able through the storage interface
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
