Two changes apply when Claude Code takes up handed-off work:\n\n- Handoff file: it is now read with a size limit instead of being read in full. If it cannot be read, Claude Code logs that it was not read.\n\n- IDs: task, agent and schedule IDs now have a maximum length. Before, they were only checked against a pattern.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are safety limits, so an oversized or malformed handoff file is turned away instead of being loaded.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
