What
When Claude Code refuses to start because of where it was launched, the message now says the folder or its repository is your home directory, is in a hidden folder there, or is another such place, and suggests starting from a project folder such as ~/code/my-app. Before, it said only to start from a project folder rather than your home folder or one that holds credentials.
Why
The message makes it clearer why Claude Code refused and where to start instead.
