Large tool outputs saved to disk are now capped in size, and the CLI reports when truncation happened
What
- When Claude saves a large tool result to disk, the content is now capped to a byte budget (1GiB by default) using an encoding-aware truncator.
- The saved result records a new
truncatedAtBytesfield when truncation happened, plus a derivedtruncatedAtCapboolean alongsideestimatedOriginalTokens/estimatedPersistedTokens. - The message shown to you after a tool result is saved now distinguishes a full save from a truncated one, telling you only the first N bytes were saved when the cap kicked in.
Why Without a cap, an unusually large tool result could produce an oversized file on disk; the new byte cap keeps saved files bounded, and the accompanying message and tracking fields let you (and Claude) know when a saved copy is incomplete rather than assuming it's the full result.
