What
When the NotebookEdit tool, which Claude uses to edit notebook files, refuses an edit because of where the file lives, its reason now reads that the notebook "may be on a network path". The wording presents a network location as a possibility rather than a certainty.
Why
The message no longer claims more than Claude Code knows about the file's location, so a reader seeing it should treat a network path as one likely cause to check.
