What
The sandbox is a fenced-off area that limits what commands can reach. On Windows, the instructions Claude Code gives the model about the sandbox now cover more cases:
- HTTPS: programs that use Windows' own secure connection system, called Schannel, cannot make HTTPS connections in the sandbox. These include
curl.exe, PowerShell's web commands, .NET HttpClient andwinget. - pytest: a recent
pytestin a project with no.pytest_cachefolder yet can print its results and then never finish. The suggested fix is-p no:cacheprovider. - Temporary files: the advice about the temporary folder is now written for each shell, using
$env:TEMPfor PowerShell.
The note about ~\ and %USERPROFILE% was removed from the advice on allowing file reads.
Why
When a command fails in the Windows sandbox, Claude is now better placed to explain why and suggest a workaround.
