Unclear It is not clear which feature reads files this way, so a reader cannot tell when the size limit applies to them.

What

One of the ways Claude Code reads a file now stops when the text is larger than a set number of bytes, and reports over_the_cap instead of the text. When it does read the file, it now also reports whether the file is inside the working folder (in_working_folder). Before, it simply returned the text.

Why

This changes what happens when a large file goes through this path, which seems to be one used for file attachments.
