Before this release, Claude Code only looked for these mentions in what you typed. It can now also take them from a separate list of file paths, and it attaches mentioned files even when there is no typed input.\n\n`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FILE_MENTIONS` and `CLAUDE_CODE_EVAL_CONFINED` still apply to these attachments.\n\n**Why**\n\nFiles can now be attached by sources other than your typing. If you have turned file mentions off, that switch still covers this route.\n\n- Area: Attachments\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
