What
When Claude Code truncates a task's output, the footer used to promise the whole thing had been written to a file. If the writer is failing or has lost data, it now says the full output could not all be saved and that the file may be missing or incomplete.
Details
- A new cleanup path flushes the output writer and logs, at error level, how many characters were discarded unwritten.
- The message is assembled at runtime from the writer's state; there is no flag.
Evidence
The full output could not all be saved to
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
