Unclear What the anchor value changes about a file read is not known.

What

When Claude Code is asked to read a file on behalf of a request, it now passes an extra value called an anchor to the reader, in addition to the file path, the maximum number of bytes and the text encoding.

Why

This points to an extension that lets a file be read relative to some reference point.
