What
Claude Code's file search tools, Grep and Glob, use a program called ripgrep. When a search runs too long, Claude Code kills ripgrep. Until now, if ripgrep never confirmed that it had closed, the search could wait indefinitely.
Claude Code now ends the search anyway. It logs that ripgrep did not report closing after the kill, and the search fails with the message "ripgrep did not exit after the timeout kill".
Why
A stuck ripgrep process can no longer freeze Grep or Glob. You get an error you can act on instead of a search that never finishes.
