What
The helper that rebuilds Claude Code's tracked-file index now takes an explicit current working directory argument. If that directory doesn't match the one the index was last normalized against, the rebuild stops early, before doing any signature comparison or actual rebuild work.
Why
This guards against rebuilding the file index using a stale or mismatched working directory, which should prevent incorrect or wasted rebuild work when the working directory has changed.
