Unclear It is not clear whether this only works in cloud sessions or also in sessions on your own machine.
What
A connector links Claude Code to an outside service. When a message mentions a file from a connector by name, Claude Code now finds that reference in the text and prepares the file, which is called staging it, so it can be used.
If staging fails, Claude Code tries again. The wait between tries grows the more times in a row it has failed. Updates to the instructions Claude gets about connected tools now also carry notes about file references that have not been handled yet.
Why
In cloud sessions, files that connectors mention can be fetched without you doing it by hand. Repeated failures do not retry endlessly at full speed.
