What
When Claude Code works out how much of its image budget (the space limit for images sent to the model) a given image should use, that calculation can occasionally fail. Previously any such failure was always logged as an error. Now the code checks whether the failure is a recognized, expected kind; if so it quietly falls back to a default instead of logging, and only logs at error level when the failure is genuinely unexpected.
Why
This cuts down on noisy error logs for routine, already-understood failure cases while still surfacing genuinely surprising problems, making error logs more useful for diagnosing real issues.
