Truncation warnings for CLAUDE.md and memory files now say exactly which line and text got cut

What

When a memory file (such as CLAUDE.md) or its index gets truncated for being too long, the warning message now states exactly which line the cut started at, and where possible, quotes the first roughly 80 characters of that line.

Why

Previously the warning only said a file was too long, without saying where. Naming the exact line and showing its content makes it much easier to find and fix the part of a memory file that's causing content to be dropped.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on How Claude Code works touched a line naming CLAUDE.md after this was published. * `/init` generates a starter CLAUDE.md for your project how-claude-code-works see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up CLAUDE.md, on Claude Code changelog. * Fixed the attribution reminder overriding a CLAUDE.md or memory rule against commit and pull request attribution; lines set by managed settings still apply changelog see the edit
