What
When the environment variable CLAUDE_JOB_DIR is set, Claude Code writes some text into a file in that folder. If the text is longer than the length limit, Claude Code now writes nothing. Before, it saved the text cut off at the limit.
Why
A program that reads files from that folder will no longer get a half-finished version of long text. When the text is too long, it gets no file update at all.
