What
When Claude Code syncs a linked git working directory (used for features like cloud sessions), it keeps track of directories it has flagged as "tampered" or "planted" (altered outside Claude Code's control). The internal identifier used to record this state is now prefixed with root: instead of being just the raw identifier.
Why
This is an internal bookkeeping change; it doesn't change what gets flagged, only the format of the key Claude Code uses to track it.
