Claude Code v2.1.7 13 Jan 2026

Enhanced Symlink Resolution

What

File path resolution now follows symlink chains more thoroughly.

Details

Follows up to 40 levels of symlinks (protection against infinite loops)
Skips special file types (FIFO, socket, character/block devices)
Returns all paths in the symlink chain for better tracking

Evidence

pAA() at line 2374 (symlink resolution, contains "isSymbolicLink")

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