Claude Code v2.1.321 ·

CLAUDE.local.md gets the same protection as CLAUDE.md and .claude/

CLAUDE.local.md is now a protected path like CLAUDE.md: it cannot be deleted by a plan, and changes to it still ask every time

What

CLAUDE.md and CLAUDE.local.md are files holding instructions for Claude, and .claude/ is the folder of Claude Code settings. Claude Code already protected CLAUDE.md and .claude/; CLAUDE.local.md is now protected too:

  • Path check: the check that recognised claude.md and .claude now also matches claude.local.md and paths under claude.local.md/.
  • Delete error: the error for deleting reserved paths now reads "Cannot delete reserved paths: ... CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md and .claude/ carry agent instructions and are blocked regardless of the plan." It used to say they carry "instructions to the design agent".
  • Design project approval: the write-approval message now says "Deletes and CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md and .claude paths still ask every time." Before, it named only CLAUDE.md and .claude paths.

Why

Your personal CLAUDE.local.md instructions can no longer be deleted as part of a plan, and changes to it ask for your approval each time, just as CLAUDE.md already did.
