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 v2.1.248

Edit tool drops two validation branches

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
File Tools

Edit dropped two checks; missing files now always get the usual "did you mean" suggestion.

What

Edit no longer runs its async write-path check before editing, and no longer gives a distinct refusal when a remote call targets a missing file. Every missing-file case now goes to the usual local "Did you mean" suggestion instead.

Details
  • The removed check previously returned error code 15.
  • Edit's auto-classifier input now carries additional fields alongside the diff, in both the structured and non-structured branches.
Evidence

does not exist on this machine, so nothing was changed.

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