Claude Code v2.1.283 ·

Temporary file system errors on Windows now surface instead of being silently ignored

On Windows, busy, too-many-open-files, out-of-memory, timeout and similar errors are now reported instead of quietly switching to a weaker fallback

What

On Windows, Claude Code tries to keep a firm hold on your working folder (an anchored backend). If that fails to start, it can fall back to a mode without that hold. It now reports these errors instead of falling back:

  • EBUSY
  • EMFILE
  • ENFILE
  • ENOMEM
  • EAGAIN
  • ETIMEDOUT
  • EIO

The log line written on fallback now ends "no anchored backend here" instead of "by name".

Why

On Windows, temporary resource problems now show up as errors instead of quietly weakening how Claude Code holds on to your working folder.

The writer flagged doubtIt is not known what happens next once one of these errors is reported.
Anthropic's release notes agreeChanged --system-prompt and --append-system-prompt to accept their text and -file forms together; the file's text comes first
