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