What

Claude Code has a resolver that works out where a file path really points, following symlinks (shortcuts to other files or folders). When its lookup now returns a particular marker value, the resolver stops and hands back the original path unchanged, treating it as neither a symlink nor its final form.

Why

In that case the path is used exactly as given rather than being rewritten.
