To find the folder a glob starts from, Claude Code now always cuts the pattern at the first wildcard character and uses the parent folder, or `\/`. It used to return the pattern unchanged when it was not a glob or when it was a valid one.\n\n**Why**\n\nRules that use glob paths, such as permission or file-watching rules, may now resolve to a different folder.\n\n- Area: File Paths\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
