What
When Claude Code's filesystem/git access layer fails to read the current project directory, it used to fail internally with an unhelpful message ('held directory is closed'). It now returns a structured error with a clear message: git could not read the project directory or prepare its upload, with details in the debug log, and a suggestion to run git status in that directory.
Why
This gives a concrete, actionable message when git operations fail, instead of an internal-sounding error that gave no hint about what to check or do next.
