Unclear It is not known whether these new conditions change when a launch is refused or are only reported.

What

Claude Code checks whether to refuse starting from a home folder. Before, the only reason it could give was a Windows profile on a mount without a drive letter. It now also records two more conditions:

  • the same volume (disk) is mounted twice
  • the source of a mount could not be read
Why

This gives more detail about why a start from a home folder was refused.
