When Claude Code rewrites a block of text to clean it up, it now removes any citation that points at a position in that text. Before, the text was replaced and the citations were left as they were.\n\n**Why**\n\nAfter a rewrite, the old positions no longer match the text, so the citations would point at the wrong words.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
