[DOCS] `@` file-path docs missing guidance on corrected-path suggestions for missing repo-folder prefixes

Open 💬 6 comments Opened Feb 20, 2026 by coygeek

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode

Section/Topic

@ file-path mention behavior and troubleshooting for missing-path errors.

Current Documentation

The interactive-mode quick commands section currently states:

@ | File path mention | Trigger file path autocomplete

There is no documented behavior for corrected-path suggestions when a file path is invalid because the repository folder segment was dropped.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.49 added improved file-not-found errors that suggest corrected paths when the model drops the repository folder from a path.

Current docs do not describe this recovery behavior or how users should act on these suggestions.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short troubleshooting note (or section) that explains:

  • when corrected-path suggestions appear,
  • a before/after example for dropped repo-folder prefixes,
  • how to quickly retry with the suggested path.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
