What's Wrong?
I'm looking in Windows Setting for Search (Privacy & Security > Search), where you can exclude certain folders from the search indexing process. This list is now filled with c:\users\{USER}\.claude.json.corrupted.{epoch}\
See screenshot

What Should Happen?
No Claude Code entries in my search exclusion list.
