Unclear Which environments are marked as running in their own directories is not stated.
What
A linked checkout is an extra working folder attached to a git repository, such as a git worktree. Before, when Claude Code was in a linked checkout that had no admin folder (the folder git uses to keep track of it), a check stopped with exit code 126, the number a program returns to say a command could not run.
That check now applies only when the environment is not marked as running in its own directories. Where it is, work in the linked checkout goes ahead.
Why
In practice, commands that rely on git can now work in worktree-style environments that this check used to refuse.
