What
When Claude Code builds alternate candidate paths for a file reference, it now also tries stripping a leading .# prefix from the file name, in addition to its existing dot-stripping logic. This prefix is used by Emacs to mark lock files.
Why
This lets Claude Code correctly resolve a file reference even when the actual file on disk is an Emacs lock-file variant of the intended name.
