Issue
Temporary working directory tracking files are being created in the project root directory instead of being properly organized in the .specstory/history/ directory.
Expected Behavior
tmpclaude-*-cwd files should be stored in .specstory/history/ directory (as per SpecStory integration)
Actual Behavior
- Files are being created in the project root directory
- Multiple files accumulate over time in the same directory (example: 20+ files in a single project)
- Cannot be controlled via user settings
- This behavior started suddenly on Jan 17, 2026
Example
Project: C:\Users\SH\dev\wp\test-plugin
Expected location: C:\Users\SH\dev\wp\test-plugin\.specstory\history\tmpclaude-*.cwd
Actual location: C:\Users\SH\dev\wp\test-plugin\tmpclaude-*.cwd
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.x (after recent update)
- OS: Windows
- Affected: Multiple newly created projects
