If the text is longer than the length limit, Claude Code now writes nothing. Before, it saved the text cut off at the limit.\n\n**Why**\n\nA 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.\n\n- Area: Background Jobs\n- Names: `CLAUDE_JOB_DIR`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
