What
When a tool's output is too large and gets saved to a file on a remote host instead of being sent back directly, the message shown to Claude has been reworded. It used to say to 'read it there'; it now explicitly says the file cannot be read from here, and suggests re-running the command remotely with head, tail, or grep if that's safe.
Why
The old wording could be read as implying Claude could still read the file somehow. The new wording is more explicit about the limitation and gives concrete commands to work around it.
