Claude Code now tries a path as given and, if that does not match, converts it to the `C:\\...` form and tries again.\n\n**Why**\n\nPath rules written in one form may now match paths written in the other, which can fix rules that previously did not apply when using Git Bash on Windows.\n\n- Area: Windows\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
