[BUG] Cowork: uploaded context lands in the project mount, not mnt/uploads/
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 31, 2026 by clifguy Closed Jul 3, 2026
What's wrong
At session start, uploaded context files appear under the project mount (e.g. mnt/<project>/) rather than mnt/uploads/. An agent oriented to look under mnt/uploads/ finds it empty and can waste turns polling for files that already arrived elsewhere.
What should happen
Land uploaded context under mnt/uploads/ as the name implies, or document the actual target so agents orient correctly on the first turn. (Low priority — more an orientation/expectation gap than a functional defect.)
Environment
- Surface: Claude for Desktop (Cowork tab), Claude Code 2.1.156 (Agent SDK 0.3.156), model Opus 4.8, macOS (Darwin 25.5.0), Apple Silicon.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a Cowork session with uploaded context.
- Inspect
mnt/uploads/— empty. - Find the content under the project mount instead.
