If that preview took too long to work out and came back empty, the dialog now shows a warning: \"Proposed edit took too long to diff, so it is not shown (deny unless expected).\" New file content gets the same warning. Before, an empty preview simply showed nothing.\n\nThe edit preview is also built differently. Claude Code reads only the part of the file around the text being replaced, and reads the whole file only if that part turns up nothing.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou are told when there is no preview, so you are not approving a change you never saw.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
