Claude Code v2.1.27 ·
Improved Transcript/JSONL File Validation
EntryKind: in v2.1.27,
ChangesSection of the release
Reading transcript files now provides clearer error messages when files are malformed:
- "No messages found in JSONL file" - when JSONL file parses but contains no messages
- "No valid conversation chain found in JSONL file" - when messages exist but no valid chain can be reconstructed
- "Invalid JSON in transcript file" - when JSON parsing fails
- "Transcript messages must be an array" / "Transcript must be an array of messages or an object with a messages array" - format validation
Evidence
JSONL validation (search for "No messages found in JSONL file")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
