What
Claude Code can fetch attachments ahead of time, before they are needed. This early fetching now stops straight away when a setting reads as off.
Attachment downloads now retry, waiting a little longer each time, when the download stalls or the server answers with a 5xx error, 408 (request timeout) or 429 (too many requests). Previously there was no retry. The timing record kept for each download also counts inline images and failures.
Why
Whether early fetching is on affects how quickly attachments arrive, and the retries let a download recover from a brief stall or server hiccup instead of failing.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe name of the setting that controls early fetching, and whether it is on by default, are not known.
