What
When Claude Code downloads a file, the result now also records the size the server says the file is. It records this only in two cases together:
the response is not compressed (it carries no content-encoding header)
the stated length is a plain whole number
Previously the result held only the downloaded data and a page count.
Why
Knowing the size the server promised makes it possible to tell when a download came back shorter than it should. That helps catch file reads that were cut off partway.
