## Title

    [Claude Code] Bash output lost: temp dir disk quota full (EDQUOT/ENOSPC) or temp dir refused (owned by another uid / symlink)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Output is written to files under temp dir; safety checks refuse suspicious temp dirs.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - (EDQUOT), so any output this command printed was lost
    - Command output was lost: the temp filesystem at
    - ENOSPC: no space left on device, mkdir '/tmp/claude-501'
    - Refusing to use it — another user may have pre-created it.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs quote EDQUOT/ENOSPC/out-of-inodes diagnostics and temp-dir refusal messages with CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR fix.
    
    Search phrasings: claude code bash no output disk quota; claude code tmp directory owned by another user; CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
