That reader changed in two ways:\n\n- Folder listings can now ask for everything inside a folder, including the contents of folders within it.\n\n- A new check asks the store whether something is at a given path. It gets back one of three answers: a file is there, nothing is there, or no answer.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are new ways for Claude Code to look into remote file storage.\n\n- Area: Sessions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
