It refuses to follow symbolic links, which are shortcuts pointing to another location, and reports a clear error when:\n\n- a link appears in the path\n\n- the path is not written in its standard form\n\n- a read rule denies access to the folder\n\n- the workspace has moved\n\nVery large listings are capped and marked as cut short.\n\n**Why**\n\nFolder listings stay inside the rules you have set for what Claude Code may read.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
