It now leaves that excerpt empty in three cases:\n\n- the earlier read of the file came back empty even though the file had content\n\n- the file's name matches a particular internal check\n\n- the overall limit for these excerpts has been reached\n\nIn each case Claude Code also updates its record of what it has read from that file.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn these cases Claude gets a note that the file changed without the changed text, instead of an excerpt that may be misleading or too large.\n\n- Area: File Access\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
