This code was already in use.\n\nBoth messages tell Claude to let you know that the file cannot be opened here. Before, a single error stated the file size and the limit, with either the `project_original_too_large` code or no code at all.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude gets clearer instructions about oversized project files, so it is more likely to tell you plainly that a file cannot be opened instead of trying something else.\n\n- Area: File Reading\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
