When the host has no disk to write to, the agent now gets no output file. The launch result then leaves out both the `output_file` line and the advice.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn setups without a disk, Claude is no longer told to look for a file that is not there.\n\n- Area: Agents\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
