It now carries over the extra working folders you gave it, so folders added with the `--add-dir` flag (an option typed when starting Claude Code) or the `\/add-dir` command are still there after the switch.\n\n**Why**\n\nBefore, switching modes could lose those extra folders, and Claude would no longer be able to read and edit files in them until you added them again.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Names: `--add-dir`, `\/add-dir`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
