claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Rewind/Compact prevents re-reading unchanged files removed from context [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Resetting the mechanism that tracks already read files after compact or rewind operations may resolve the issue with claude not reading files due to "unchanged since last read".

Guidance

• Investigate the implementation of the "unchanged since last read" mechanism to understand how it tracks files and how it can be reset after compact or rewind operations.
• Verify if using cat/sed instead of the read tool consistently works around the issue, and if so, consider using this as a temporary workaround.
• Check the documentation for claude version 2.1.101 to see if there are any known issues or configuration options related to file tracking and compact/rewind operations.
• Test the behavior with different file scenarios to understand the conditions under which the issue occurs.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the implementation details of claude.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of claude version 2.1.101 and the linux platform, and may not occur in other environments.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: using cat/sed instead of the read tool, as it occasionally works around the issue, until a proper fix for the file tracking mechanism is implemented.
