Under the hood
New internal helper scans a file in chunks for a byte pattern without loading the whole file into memory
What
Claude Code has a new internal helper that checks whether a file contains a given byte pattern by reading it in bounded chunks, rather than loading the entire file into memory at once.
Why
This makes checking whether a file contains something more memory-efficient, especially for large files.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding does not say which feature or code path now uses this helper.
