Before, it only reported that the file was not found.\n\nSeparately, a check used while Claude Code repeatedly polls a server, asking again and again until something is ready, now counts a \"not found\" answer as finished.\n\n**Why**\n\nWaiting on something that does not exist now stops instead of retrying.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
