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.\n\nIf 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.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn cloud sessions, files that connectors mention can be fetched without you doing it by hand. Repeated failures do not retry endlessly at full speed.\n\n- Area: Connectors\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
