Unclear Which templates use this expansion and how large the limit is are not stated.

What

Some text in Claude Code can contain ${...} references that are filled in with values when used. That filling-in used to have no size limit. It now has one: if the result would be larger than the limit, Claude Code returns nothing instead of the expanded text.

Why

This stops a reference from expanding into a huge amount of text. If a template that relies on a very large value stops working, this limit may be the reason.
