What
When Claude Code decides whether to skip discovery for an MCP server (a connector that gives it access to external tools or data), it now runs the candidate file paths through a normalization step before checking them against the known set, instead of comparing the raw path strings directly.
Why
Comparing raw strings could miss matches when the same path is written differently (for example with different slashes or casing), causing discovery to run again unnecessarily. Normalizing first makes the skip check more reliable.
