What
The background daemon process that Claude Code runs now checks the size of its log file each time it writes to it. Once the log grows past 10MB, it gets truncated or rotated before Claude Code continues appending new entries.
Why
This keeps the daemon's log file from growing without bound, avoiding unnecessary disk usage over long-running sessions.
