DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.40

Better File Type Detection for Read Tool

The Read tool now properly rejects special files (devices, pipes, sockets) with clear error messages.

Evidence

File type check (search for "not a regular file (it may be a device, pipe, or socket)")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
