What
Before running a shell command, Claude Code tries to read it and work out what it will do. When part of a command is too complex to read that way, the reason Claude Code gives now says "Part of this command (...) cannot be checked in advance". It used to say "Contains shell syntax (...) that cannot be statically analyzed" and name an internal type for the piece it could not read.
Commands that fail to parse at all still give the reason "Parse error".
