Claude Code v2.1.295 ·

Reading a file no longer fails when the page range is left blank

The Read tool now treats a blank page range as no page range, so the request no longer fails with a validation error

What

The Read tool, which Claude uses to open files, has an optional page range setting meant for PDF files. If Claude sends that setting as an empty or whitespace-only value, Claude Code now treats it as if it had not been given at all. Before, such a value could make the request fail its validity check.

Why

This removes a pointless error when Claude reads ordinary files that are not PDFs.
