What

When you reference a PDF, Claude Code gives Claude a short note about it. Before, for a PDF small enough to read in one go, that note told Claude to read the whole file. That instruction has been removed.

Why

This changes the guidance Claude follows for attached PDFs, so it may read them differently than before.
