Claude Code has a new status hint, a short line shown in its interface, that reads: \"Starting the sandbox \u00b7 setting file permissions can take a few minutes, mostly the first time in a large project\". It is marked high priority, so it should show ahead of other hints.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt explains a long wait while the sandbox starts on Windows, so the pause does not look like a freeze.\n\n- Area: Sandbox\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
