/ Claude Code v2.1.64

Fixed stale lock file handling: lock files can now be force-removed when they become stale, with logging of the cleanup (search for "Force-removed lock file at")
LSP diagnostics state is now properly reset when clearing state, preventing stale diagnostic data from persisting (search for "LSP Diagnostics: Resetting all state")
MCP config validation now produces clearer error messages: "--mcp-config validation failed" and "MCP config is not valid JSON" replace generic parse errors (search for "--mcp-config validation failed")
Symlink-aware path resolution added for filesystem operations, properly following symlinks through intermediate path components (search for "isSymbolicLink" in function Oiq)

cli--mcp-config
Load MCP servers from JSON files or strings (space-separated). When you pass this flag with -p, Claude Code waits for still-pending servers to connect before running the first turn, up to the MCP_TIMEOUT startup timeout, 30 seconds by default; a server with a cached tool list skips the wait and connects on first use. The wait requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or later

Is this right?
