Claude Code's Projects Tool silently overwrites concurrent writes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user reported a critical bug in Claude Code's Projects Tool where concurrent sessions writing to the same shared document silently overwrote each other's work. This occurred because the `project_write` function performed a full document replacement without any version comparison, meaning the last write to complete would discard all preceding changes. The issue was only detected because the user ran a custom check; otherwise, subsequent sessions might have acted on incomplete data, leading to compounding errors. The reporter suggested fixes including version tokens, append modes, or delta signals to prevent such data loss. AI
