Rewind then Read same file incorrectly shows "Unchanged since last read"
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 15, 2026 by beyond-infra Closed Jun 16, 2026
Steps to reproduce:
- Use
Readtool to read any file (e.g.,src/index.ts) - Rewind the conversation to a point before the Read occurred
- Use
Readtool again on the same file
Expected behavior:
The file content should be read and displayed normally, since the rewind removed it from the context window.
Actual behavior:
Claude Code responds with "Unchanged since last read" and refuses to read the file again, even though the file content is no longer in context.
Workaround:
Use cat via Bash to read the file instead of the Read tool.
Impact:
Breaks the Read tool after rewind, forcing fallback to shell commands for basic file reading.
