What
When Claude Code returns the result for a PDF file, the PDF's data, stored as base64 text, is now replaced with an empty value in that result. Previously the full data was included.
Why
Large PDF data is no longer carried around in this result.
PDF data is no longer kept in file results
When a file result is a PDF, the PDF's encoded data in that result is now left empty
