When it stops watching, it now waits for each watcher to close. If one cannot close, Claude Code logs that and carries on. Before, it closed them with no handling of errors.\n\n**Why**\n\nA watcher that fails to close no longer goes unnoticed or causes trouble, which makes Claude Code more stable.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
