Claude Code watches plan files so it can notice when they change. It now watches only the one main file for a plan, named after the plan with `.md` at the end. Before, it watched a list of files for the plan.\n\n**Why**\n\nOther files that belong to a plan may no longer be noticed when they change.\n\n- Area: Plan Mode\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
