What
Claude Code stages files temporarily as part of syncing changes. If creating one of these staged files failed for a reason other than the file already existing, the old code just tried to delete the leftover file once and silently ignored any error. Now it calls a new helper that retries checking for and removing the stuck file a few times, and logs what happened along the way.
Why
This makes cleanup after a failed staged-file creation more reliable, since a single unlogged attempt could leave a stuck file behind with no record of what went wrong. The retries and logging give a better chance of actually clearing the problem and make it easier to diagnose if it doesn't.
