What

When you paste something large into the prompt, Claude Code shows a short placeholder in its place. It no longer recognises Audio #N placeholders. It still recognises placeholders for pasted text, images and truncated text.

Why

Text that looks like an audio placeholder in your prompt is now left as ordinary text.
