What
In auto mode, Claude Code reviews shell commands before running them. Sometimes a command starts with cd (change folder), and the review looked at the command without that part. If the shell's current folder has moved since, the review no longer covers what would actually run.
Claude Code now handles two cases:
The shell has moved: the refusal tells Claude to send the command again with its original wording.
The cd target no longer exists: the message says the command was not run because it would fail.
Why
Claude gets a clear next step instead of hitting a refusal it cannot get past, so fewer auto-mode runs stall after the working folder changes.
