Internal ChangesSection of the release
What
Before running a shell command, Claude Code reads it to understand what it does. It now marks each command that is part of a chain joined only by &&, which runs the next command only if the previous one succeeded. This applies only to a single command or to a list joined by nothing but &&.
In this release, the Bash tool's built-in instructions also add .claude/settings.local.json to the files Claude should not commit because they may contain secrets.
Why
Claude Code can now tell which commands belong to such a chain, which bears on how chained commands are checked before they run.
