It skipped files with no stated size. It now works like this:\n\n- Files with a stated size: Claude Code still uses the size check.\n\n- Files without a stated size: a remote switch decides. It is off unless it is turned on from the server.\n\nThe server returned off for this site's account and for an anonymous check in an earlier reading.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis affects how Claude Code fetches files that arrive without a declared size.\n\n- Flag `tengu_composed_beacon`: Off in both readings (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.321; this account: off, anonymous baseline: off, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Connectors\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
