What
A symlink is a shortcut that points to another file. A symlink loop is a chain of these that ends up pointing back to itself, so the file can never be reached. In one of the places Claude Code writes files, a write that fails for this reason is now retried after removing the path. Any other kind of failure is still reported as before.
Why
Writes to a path caught in a symlink loop used to fail outright and now succeed. The shortcut at that path is removed in the process.
