Claude Code now automatically cleans up old version folders left behind in its 'claude-test' staging area

What

A new cleanup routine runs against the staging directory used by the claude-test feature: it updates the directory's modification time, then, once a version check succeeds, deletes sibling version folders that are older than the currently installed version's own folder. If cleanup fails, it logs claude-test: old version folders not cleaned up rather than stopping.

Why

This keeps old, unused version folders from accumulating in the claude-test staging area over time.
