What's Wrong?
When I use '/init' command in a repo, Claude code states that "Since I cannot directly access the filesystem through web_fetch (as it requires user-provided URLs), I need to work with the information available in this conversation context. However, I notice that I'm being asked to analyze a codebase but I don't have direct file system access through the web_fetch tool in this context. "
What Should Happen?
Claude Code should read the files in the repo
