Unclear Which environments count as the server supplying the model's files is not known.

What

When a PDF is larger than the size Claude Code can include directly, it is now replaced by a short text note giving its size, in setups where the server supplies the model's files. Elsewhere, an oversized PDF is still left out, as before.

Why

In those setups the model is told that a large PDF exists and how big it is, rather than getting nothing.
