Unclear Which file reads use the new network-path check is not clear.

What

Claude Code now rejects file paths that name or link to a network location, such as a Windows network share path (UNC path) or an automounted network folder. The message says the path "names a network location (a UNC path or automounter node); copy it to a local file first". A related check also skips special files under /proc and /sys.

Why

Reading from network paths can hang or send your credentials over the network, so copy such a file to a local folder before asking Claude to read it.
