Before an upload, download or upload from a file path, Claude Code now runs an extra check. It passes along the server address it is using.\n\nThe refusal used to say the Files API is unavailable for HIPAA-regulated organizations. It now says: \"File upload is disabled by your organization's policy.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nIf your organization has turned off file uploads, you now see a plain policy message whatever the reason, and uploads may be refused in cases that used to go through.\n\n- Area: Managed Settings\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
