The original behavior was that using '@' would bring up the directory. Now, please try using '@/' as a temporary workaround.

+1 this is also happening to me after update to v1.0.69. This makes claude code pretty unsusable in large repos and it's not the first time it happens.

EDIT: Confirmed downgrading to v1.0.68 fixes the issue

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO

Getting the same https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/5291

Having the same issue

Has this been fixed or addressed at all yet? Using @/ doesn't work, and removing fuzzy file referencing makes claude code literally useless in a large repo, or IMO at all.

For some reason setting the env var USE_BUILTIN_RIPGREP to 0 has solved my problem. claude doctor said that it was using bundeled search and that it was okay, but when I ran claude --debug and tried to search for a file, I'd get an error saying rg error (signal=null, code=2, stderr: rg: unrecognized flag --ripgrep

I've reported a similar issue, but not the same: #7781

For the issue I reported, there have been several dups but all incorrectly closed, eventually pointing back to this issue here.

Thought I'd cross-reference for transparency.
