Claude Code v2.1.248 ·

"git not found" is reported separately from a failed layout read

A missing git binary is now reported as such rather than a generic layout read failure.

What

When Claude Code cannot read a repository's git layout, it now reports git_not_found rather than the generic layout_unread if the cause was git being missing and out of reach. Clone start records also note their origin.

Evidence

git_not_found

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