Unclear It is not clear what tidying is applied to the path.
What
When Claude Code rejects a file you tried to attach, the error now shows the path in a tidied display form instead of exactly as you typed it. One example is the message saying a file is outside the working directory and that --restricted only sends files from inside it. A "did you mean" suggestion now appears only when the tidied form matches.
Why
The change only affects how these error messages read.
The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up --restricted, on Claude Code changelog.* Fixed `--tools` and `--restricted` not applying to built-in tools that register after launch, and deprecated tool names reaching tools outside the caller's tool setchangelogsee the edit
