3## 2.1.186
4
5- Added `claude mcp login <name>` and `claude mcp logout <name>` to authenticate MCP servers from the CLI without opening the interactive `/mcp` menu, with `--no-browser` stdin redirect support for completing over SSH
6- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view
7- Added a "Skills" section to the `/plugin` Installed tab
8- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
9- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
10- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
11- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
12- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
13- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
14- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
15- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
16- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
17- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
18- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
19- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
20- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
21- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
22- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
23- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
24- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
25- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
26- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
27- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
28- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
29- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
30- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
31- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
32- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
33- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
34- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
35- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
36- Changed background subagents to surface permission prompts in the main session instead of auto-denying; the dialog shows which agent is asking, and Esc denies just that tool
37- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
38
39## 2.1.185
40
41- The stream-stall hint now reads "Waiting for API response · will retry in …" instead of "No response from API · Retrying in …", and triggers after 20s of silence instead of 10s
42
43## 2.1.183
44
45- Improved auto mode safety: destructive git commands (`git reset --hard`, `git checkout -- .`, `git clean -fd`, `git stash drop`) are now blocked when you didn't ask to discard local work, `git commit --amend` is blocked when the commit wasn't made by the agent this session, and `terraform destroy`/`pulumi destroy`/`cdk destroy` are blocked unless you asked for the specific stack
46- Added a warning when the requested model is deprecated or automatically updated to a newer model, shown on stderr in print mode (`-p`) and now also covering models set in agent frontmatter
47- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
48- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
49- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
50- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
51- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
52- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
53- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
54- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
55- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
56- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
57- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
58- Fixed tmux teammate panes failing to launch when the shell has slow rc-file initialization, and keystrokes typed during agent spawn leaking into the new tmux pane instead of the leader prompt
59- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
60- Fixed scheduled task and webhook trigger deliveries being treated as keyboard input; they now classify as task notifications and can no longer approve a pending action or set the session title in auto mode
61- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
62
63## 2.1.181
64
65- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
66- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
67- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
68- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
69- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
70- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
71- Improved the subagent panel: idle subagents auto-hide after 30s, the list caps at 5 rows with scroll hints, and keyboard hints now show in the footer
72- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
73- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
74- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
75- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
76- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
77- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
78- Fixed a startup regression (~120ms per launch in fresh environments, introduced in 2.1.169): the first prompt no longer waits for the managed-settings fetch when no MCP servers are configured
79- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
80- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
81- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
82- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
83- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
84- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
85- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
86- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
87- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
88- Fixed AWS `awsCredentialExport` credentials with a short remaining lifetime causing credential refreshes every minute, and now accepts the JSON shape from `aws configure export-credentials`
89- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
90- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
91- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
92- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
93- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
94- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
95- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
96- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
97- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
98- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
99- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
100- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
101- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
102- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
103- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
104
105## 2.1.179
106
107- Fixed mid-stream connection drops: partial responses are now preserved instead of showing a raw error, and the spinner no longer gets stuck at "running tool"
108- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
109- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
110- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
111- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
112- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
113- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
114- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
115- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
116
117## 2.1.178
118
119- Agent teams: removed the `TeamCreate` and `TeamDelete` tools. With `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1` set, every session now has one implicit team — spawn teammates directly with the Agent tool's `name` parameter, no setup step needed. The `team_name` parameter on the Agent tool is still accepted but ignored.
120- Added `Tool(param:value)` syntax for permission rules to match a tool's input parameters (with `*` wildcard), e.g. `Agent(model:opus)` to block Opus subagents
121- Skills in nested `.claude/skills` directories now load when working on files there; on a name clash, the nested skill appears as `<dir>:<name>` so both stay available
122- Nested `.claude/` directories: the agent, workflow, and output-style closest to the working directory now wins when names collide; project-scope workflow saves now target the closest existing `.claude/workflows/`
123- Improved auto mode: subagent spawns are now evaluated by the classifier before launch, closing a gap where a subagent could request a blocked action without review
124- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
125- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
126- Changed the workflow prompt keyword to use a purple shimmer highlight and trigger only on explicit phrases like "run a workflow" or "workflow:", not on any mention of the word
127- Improved Remote Control error messages: connection failures now show a persistent red "/rc failed" indicator in the footer, and the "not yet enabled" error now explains whether it's a gate, a check failure, stale entitlement, or org policy
128- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
129- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
130- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
131- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
132- Fixed several subagent issues: viewing a subagent's transcript now shows tool results and live progress, messages sent while it finishes its turn are no longer dropped, and backgrounding a running subagent (ctrl+b) no longer restarts it from scratch
133- Fixed `claude agents` workers failing with `401 Invalid bearer token` when the daemon was started from a shell with a custom API gateway via `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`
134- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
135- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
136- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
137- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
138- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
139- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
140- Fixed vim mode undo: `u` now steps through NORMAL/VISUAL-mode commands one at a time instead of merging commands in quick succession into a single undo step
141- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
142- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
143
144## 2.1.176
145
146- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
147- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
148- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
149- Fixed `availableModels` enforcement: alias model picks can no longer be redirected to a blocked model via `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_*_MODEL` environment variables, and `/fast` now refuses to toggle when it would switch to a model outside the allowlist
150- Fixed auto mode failing on Fable 5 for organizations without Opus 4.8 enabled — the classifier now falls back to the best available Opus model
151- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
152- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
153- Fixed `/copy` and mouse-selection copy not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux over SSH, and tmux paste buffer not loading on versions older than 3.2
154- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
155- Fixed Remote Control disconnect notifications showing a bare numeric code instead of a human-readable reason, and connection failures adding a duplicate line to the conversation transcript
156- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
157- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
158- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
159- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
160- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
161- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
162- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
163- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
164- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
165- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
166- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
167- Background sessions now show clearer guidance when a window left open across an auto-update can't submit a reply, and `claude daemon status` explains version-skew behavior
168
169## 2.1.175
170
171- Added `enforceAvailableModels` managed setting — when enabled, the `availableModels` allowlist also constrains the Default model (a Default that would resolve to a disallowed model now falls back to the first allowed model), and user or project settings can no longer widen a managed `availableModels` list
172
173## 2.1.174
174
175- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
176- Fixed the `/model` picker hiding the model family that Default resolves to — Opus now appears as its own row on Max/Team Premium/Enterprise plans, Sonnet on Pro/Team plans, and Opus on pay-as-you-go API accounts
177- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
178- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
179- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
180- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
181- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
182- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
183- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
184- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
185- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
186- [VSCode] Added usage attribution to the Account & usage dialog (`/usage`) showing cache misses, long context, subagents, and per-skill/agent/plugin/MCP breakdowns over the last 24h or 7d
187- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
188
189## 2.1.173
190
191- Fixed Fable 5 model names with a `[1m]` suffix not being normalized — Fable 5 includes 1M context by default, so the suffix is now stripped automatically
192- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
193
194## 2.1.172
195
196- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
197- Amazon Bedrock now reads the AWS region from `~/.aws` config files when `AWS_REGION` isn't set, matching AWS SDK precedence; `/status` shows where the region came from
198- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
199- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
200- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
201- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
202- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
203- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
204- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
205- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
206- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
207- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
208- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
209- Fixed the `/model` picker on Bedrock offering models the provider doesn't serve — selecting one silently switched the session model and lit the selection marker on multiple rows
210- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
211- Fixed `opusplan` model setting not shipping with 1M context in plan mode for entitled users; the `opusplan[1m]` workaround now also correctly switches to Opus in plan mode
212- Fixed `WebFetch(domain:*.example.com)` wildcard domain rules never matching subdomains in allow, deny, and ask position, and file permission rules with mid-pattern wildcards (e.g. `Read(secrets-*/config.json)`) being rejected at startup
213- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
214- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
215- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
216- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
217- Fixed the `/plugin` marketplace list losing its cursor after backing out of a long plugin list, and Esc from the plugin browser returning to the wrong tab
218- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
219- Reduced idle CPU usage: `/goal` status chip no longer re-renders the terminal at 5 Hz while idle, and fewer UI re-renders while subagents run in parallel
220- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
221- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
222- `/code-review` now keeps the `ultra` option visible when you're not signed in to claude.ai, with an explanation that the cloud review requires a claude.ai account
223- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
224- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
225- [VSCode] Fixed PowerShell tool calls rendering as raw JSON instead of a proper command display and permission dialog, and stripped ANSI escape codes from displayed shell output
226
227## 2.1.170
228
229- Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Fable’s capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available. Update to version 2.1.170 for access. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-fable-5-mythos-5
230- Fixed sessions not saving transcripts (and not appearing in --resume) when launched from the VS Code integrated terminal or any shell that inherited Claude Code environment variables.
231
232## 2.1.169
233
234- Self-hosted runner: added a `post-session` lifecycle hook that runs after the session ends and before the workspace is deleted, so you can snapshot uncommitted work or export logs; also made the child-process SIGTERM→SIGKILL window configurable (default unchanged at 5s)
235- Added `--safe-mode` flag (and `CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE`) to start Claude Code with all customizations (CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP servers) disabled for troubleshooting
236- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
237- Added a `disableBundledSkills` setting and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BUNDLED_SKILLS` environment variable to hide bundled skills, workflows, and built-in slash commands from the model
238- Fixed Up/Down arrows jumping to command history past the wrapped rows of a long input line — they now move through each visual row first, and history recall enters at the near edge
239- Fixed enterprise managed MCP policies (`allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers`) not being enforced on reconnect, IDE-typed configs, `--mcp-config` servers during the first session after install, or before remote settings loaded; also fixed slow cold starts for orgs without remote settings
240- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
241- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
242- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
243- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
244- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
245- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
246- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
247- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
248- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
249- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
250- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
251- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
252- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
253- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
254- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
255- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
256- Restored a default 5-minute idle timeout on Vertex/Foundry so a stalled stream aborts instead of hanging indefinitely; set `API_FORCE_IDLE_TIMEOUT=0` to opt out
257- Remote-managed settings with an invalid entry now apply their remaining valid policies and surface the validation error, instead of silently dropping the whole payload
258- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
259- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
260- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
261- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
262- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
263- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
264- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions
265
266## 2.1.168
267
268- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
269
270## 2.1.167
271
272- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
273
274## 2.1.166
275
276- Added `fallbackModel` setting to configure up to three fallback models tried in order when the primary model is overloaded or unavailable; `--fallback-model` now also applies to interactive sessions
277- Added glob pattern support in deny rule tool-name position (`"*"` denies all tools); allow rules reject non-MCP globs, and unknown tool names in deny rules warn at startup
278- Hardened cross-session messaging: messages relayed via `SendMessage` from other Claude sessions no longer carry user authority — receivers refuse relayed permission requests, and auto mode blocks them
279- `MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0`, `--thinking disabled`, and the per-model thinking toggle now disable thinking on models that think by default via the Claude API (3P providers unchanged)
280- Claude Code now retries a turn once on the fallback model when the API rejects an unexpected non-retryable error; auth, rate-limit, request-size, and transport errors still surface immediately
281- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
282- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
283- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
284- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
285- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
286- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
287- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
288- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
289- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
290- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
291- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
292- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
293- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
294- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
295- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
296- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
297
298## 2.1.165
299
300- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
301
302## 2.1.163
303
304- Added `requiredMinimumVersion` and `requiredMaximumVersion` managed settings — Claude Code refuses to start if its version is outside the allowed range and directs the user to an approved version
305- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
306- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
307- Hooks: Stop and SubagentStop hooks can now return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` to give Claude feedback and keep the turn going without being labeled a hook error
308- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
309- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
310- Fixed `claude -p` hanging forever after its final result when a backgrounded command never exits — background shells are now stopped ~5s after the result once stdin closes
311- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
312- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
313- Fixed Bash commands failing on Windows with "EEXIST: file already exists" on the session-env directory when it has the read-only attribute or is inside OneDrive
314- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
315- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
316- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
317- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
318- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
319- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
320- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
321- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
322- Background agent sessions now update to a new Claude Code version in the background, so opening a session after an update no longer waits on a cold restart
323- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
324- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
325- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
326
327## 2.1.162
328
329- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
330- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
331- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
332- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
333- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
334- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
335- Fixed a silent startup hang when the config directory is read-only or unwritable — Claude Code now starts with in-memory config and surfaces startup errors instead of showing a blank screen
336- Fixed WebFetch permission rules not being applied to built-in preapproved domains; explicit `WebFetch(domain:...)` deny/ask/allow rules now take precedence over the preapproved-host auto-allow
337- Fixed Windows permission rules never matching when spelled with backslashes (`~\`, `\\server\share`) or case-variant paths, and Read deny rules not hiding files from Glob/Grep results
338- Fixed an interrupt (Esc) sent at the very start of a turn being silently dropped in stream-json/SDK sessions, leaving the turn running with no "Interrupted" feedback
339- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
340- Fixed MCP per-server `timeout` config values below 1000 ms being floored to a 1-second watchdog that aborted every tool call; sub-1000 ms values are now ignored (falling back to `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` or default), and `claude mcp get` annotates them accordingly
341- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
342- Fixed `claude agents` cutting live status text (tool args, replies, prompts, exec output) at 60–120 columns on wide terminals; the status detail now uses the full terminal width
343- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
344- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
345- Fixed `claude agents` Ctrl+V image paste doing nothing in the dispatch input and the session reply box; pasting with no image now shows a hint
346- Fixed backgrounding a session with ← silently losing the conversation when the background service cannot start; the session stays in the list as a failed row you can wake with Enter
347- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
348- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
349- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
350- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
351- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
352- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
353- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
354- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
355- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
356- Removed the "Claude in Chrome enabled" and "marketplace installed" startup messages; model auto-updates and the team-onboarding tip now show as quiet notices under the logo
357
358## 2.1.161
359
360- `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES` values are now included as labels on metric datapoints, so you can slice usage metrics by custom dimensions like team or repo
361- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
362- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
363- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
364- Fullscreen mode: clipboard now uses `wl-copy`/`xclip`/`xsel` on Linux when available, copies to both the clipboard and PRIMARY selection for middle-click paste, and the "hold {key} for native selection" hint now shows the correct key per terminal
365- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
366- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
367- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
368- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
369- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
370- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
371- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
372- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
373- Fixed `claude mcp` list/get/add printing secrets to the terminal: `${VAR}` references are no longer expanded, and credential headers and URL secrets are redacted
374- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
375- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
376- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
377- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
378- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
379- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
380- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
381- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
382
383## 2.1.160
384
385- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
386- `acceptEdits` mode now prompts before writing build-tool config files that grant code execution (`.npmrc`, `.yarnrc*`, `bunfig.toml`, `.bazelrc`, `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, `.devcontainer/`, etc.)
387- Edit no longer requires a separate Read after viewing a file with `grep`: single-file `grep`/`egrep`/`fgrep` commands now satisfy the read-before-edit check
388- Fixed copy-on-select not writing to the Windows clipboard on WSL — now uses PowerShell interop instead of OSC 52, which terminals like MobaXterm don't support
389- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
390- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
391- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
392- Fixed an issue on Windows where the directory a background session was started in could not be deleted after `claude rm` until the background daemon exited
393- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
394- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
395- Fixed Esc, arrow keys, and typing becoming unresponsive on Windows when attached to a background session or in the agent view while the host is under heavy CPU load
396- Fixed background agents emitting terminal sync-output markers to terminals that don't support them (Apple Terminal, tmux), causing render artifacts when entering a running agent
397- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
398- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
399- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
400- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
401- Fixed the auto mode unavailability message on third-party providers (Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry) to point to the `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in instead of incorrectly blaming the model
402- Fixed `/effort ultracode` incorrectly blaming the dynamic workflows setting when the model cannot run xhigh; ultracode is no longer offered on models that do not support it
403- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
404- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
405- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
406- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
407- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
408- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
409- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
410- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
411- Renamed the dynamic-workflow trigger keyword from `workflow` to `ultracode`. The word "workflow" no longer triggers a run; asking for one in your own words still works. The trigger keyword is highlighted in violet in the prompt input
412
413## 2.1.159
414
415- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
416
417## 2.1.158
418
419- Auto mode is now available on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8. Opt in by setting `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1`
420
421## 2.1.157
422
423- Plugins in `.claude/skills` directories are now automatically loaded, no marketplace required
424- Added `claude plugin init <name>` to scaffold a new plugin in `.claude/skills`
425- Added autocomplete for `/plugin` arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
426- `claude agents`: the `agent` field in `settings.json` is now honored for dispatched sessions, with `--agent <name>` to override it
427- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
428- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
429- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
430- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
431- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
432- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell
433- Fixed `claude agents` pressing Esc not cancelling a slow "opening…", leaving the list unresponsive
434- Fixed background agent worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
435- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
436- Fixed copy-on-select in `claude agents` not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with `set-clipboard on` (regression in 2.1.153)
437- Fixed `--resume` not reporting background subagents that were running when the previous Claude Code process exited
438- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
439- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
440- Fixed the `/model` picker showing an incorrect "Newer version available" hint when the selected model is already the newest in its family; the pinned-model row now shows the model's description instead of its raw ID
441- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
442- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup
443- Fixed a rare duplicate line appearing in scrollback after the terminal UI redraws
444- Fixed right-click paste duplicating the clipboard in the VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf integrated terminals
445- WSL: fixed image paste (`alt+v` keybinding), screenshot paste on Windows 11, and added support for dragging images from Windows Explorer
446- Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
447- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
448- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
449- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
450- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
451- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
452- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
453- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
454- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
455- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
456
457## 2.1.156
458
459- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
460
461## 2.1.154
462
463- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
464- Introducing dynamic workflows: ask Claude to create a workflow and it orchestrates work across tens to hundreds of agents in the background, so you can take on larger, more complex tasks. Run `/workflows` to view your runs
465- Fast mode on Opus 4.8 is now available at a fraction of its previous cost: 2x the standard rate for 2.5x the speed
466- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
467- Claude now reserves the multiple-choice question prompt for decisions it genuinely cannot make itself, instead of asking when it already has enough context to proceed
468- `/simplify` now runs a cleanup-only review (reuse, simplification, efficiency, altitude) and applies the fixes, instead of running the full `/code-review --fix` bug-hunting review
469- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
470- `claude agents`: type `! <command>` to run a shell command as a background session you can attach to and detach from. Also available as `claude --bg --exec '<command>'`
471- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
472- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
473- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
474- Plugins can now declare `defaultEnabled: false` in `plugin.json` or a marketplace entry; enable them with `/plugin` or `claude plugin enable`. Dependencies of enabled plugins are still enabled automatically
475- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
476- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
477- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
478- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
479- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
480- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
481- Deprecated `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE` (will be removed on 06/01). To use fast mode on Opus 4.6, switch with `/model claude-opus-4-6[1m]` and then `/fast on`
482- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
483- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
484- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
485- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
486- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
487- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
488- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
489- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
490- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
491- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
492- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
493- Fixed `worktree.baseRef: "head"` resolving to the main checkout's HEAD instead of the current worktree's HEAD when spawning subagents or calling `EnterWorktree` from inside a linked worktree
494- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
495- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
496- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
497- Fixed a phantom expand/click affordance on colored tool output: short ANSI-colored lines that fit on screen no longer show a "ctrl+o to expand" hint
498- Fixed a single invalid `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` entry in managed settings discarding all managed-settings policy; the bad entry is now dropped with a `claude doctor` warning
499- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
500- Windows: Fixed update failures caused by `claude.exe` being in use showing a generic error instead of telling you to close other sessions and retry
501- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
502- [VSCode] Auto mode no longer requires the bypass-permissions setting to appear in the mode picker, and a dismissable notice on the new-session screen explains auto mode the first time it's active
503- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
504- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
505- Fixed the /model picker not showing fast mode pricing on the Default option for API (pay-as-you-go) users when fast mode is on
506- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
507
508## 2.1.153
509
510- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
511- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
512- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
513- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
514- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
515- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
516- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
517- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
518- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
519- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
520- Fixed subagent (Agent tool) frontmatter MCP servers ignoring `--strict-mcp-config`, `--bare`, remote mode, enterprise managed MCP config, and managed-settings MCP server allow/deny policies
521- `--strict-mcp-config` no longer strips inline `mcpServers` from explicitly-passed agent definitions (`--agents` / SDK `agents`), and blocked subagent MCP servers now surface a visible warning
522- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
523- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
524- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
525- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
526- Fixed a hang where the CLI could fail to exit when stdin was closed without EOF in stream-json mode, leaving a stale session marker behind
527- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
528- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
529- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
530- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
531- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
532- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
533- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
534- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
535- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
536- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
537- Fixed the IME candidate window appearing at the bottom of the screen instead of next to the input caret in attached background sessions on Windows
538- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
539- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
540- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
541- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
542- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
543- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
544- `/model` now saves your selection as the default for new sessions (matching the IDE). Press `s` in the picker to switch models for the current session only.
545- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
546
547## 2.1.152
548
549- `/code-review --fix` now applies review findings to your working tree after the review, surfacing reuse, simplification, and efficiency suggestions; `/simplify` now invokes `/code-review --fix`
550- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
551- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
552- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
553- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
554- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
555- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
556- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
557- Claude Code now switches to your configured `--fallback-model` for the rest of the session when the primary model is not found, instead of failing every request
558- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
559- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
560- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
561- Thinking summaries in the collapsed group now stay readable for at least 3 seconds, render as markdown, and cap at 10 lines (`Ctrl+O` shows the full thinking)
562- In fullscreen mode, the "Thinking for Ns" indicator now counts up live while the model is thinking, and keeps its value if you interrupt mid-thought
563- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
564- The post-response timer now shows "Waiting for N background agents/workflows to finish" when backgrounded agents or workflows are still running, and reports the cumulative time once their results are processed
565- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
566- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
567- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
568- Fixed the loading spinner showing "still thinking"/"almost done thinking" while a tool is running, and reset the thinking status to "thinking" after each tool
569- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
570- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
571- Fixed markdown table cell borders inheriting the color of inline code, wrapped continuation lines losing their style, and empty header cells showing a label in the narrow-terminal stacked layout
572- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
573- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
574- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
575- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
576- Fixed the effort-change confirmation dialog appearing when the conversation has no messages or when switching between effort levels that resolve to the same underlying value
577- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
578- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
579- Fixed `cache_creation_input_tokens` reporting as 0 in transcript and result usage when the API reports cache writes only via the nested `cache_creation` breakdown
580- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
581- Fixed sessions getting stuck after a model or login switch left stale thinking-block signatures in history; now stripped proactively with a retry safety-net
582
583## 2.1.150
584
585- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
586
587## 2.1.149
588
589- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
590- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
591- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
592- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
593- Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass: built-in `cd` functions (`cd..`, `cd\`, `cd~`, `X:`) changed the working directory undetected, letting a later command read outside the workspace
594- Fixed the sandbox write allowlist in git worktrees covering the entire main repository root instead of only the shared `.git` directory (with `hooks/` and `config` denied)
595- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
596- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
597- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
598- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
599- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
600- Fixed `otelHeadersHelper` failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in `/doctor` and the debug log
601- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
602- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
603- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
604- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
605- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
606- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
607- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
608- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
609- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
610- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
611- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
612- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
613- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
614- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
615
616## 2.1.148
617
618- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
619
620## 2.1.147
621
622- Pinned background sessions (`Ctrl+T` in `claude agents`) now stay alive when idle, are restarted in place to apply Claude Code updates, and are shed under memory pressure only after non-pinned sessions
623- Renamed `/simplify` to `/code-review`. It now reports correctness bugs at a chosen effort level (e.g., `/code-review high`); pass `--comment` to post findings as inline GitHub PR comments. The old cleanup-and-fix behavior has been removed
624- Improved auto-updater: retries transient network failures, reports specific error categories and OS error codes on failure, and shows the current version when an update fails
625- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
626- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
627- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
628- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
629- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
630- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
631- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
632- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
633- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
634- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
635- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
636- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
637- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
638- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
639- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
640- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
641- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
642- Fixed auto mode suppressing `AskUserQuestion` when the user or a skill explicitly relies on it; the auto-mode classifier now sees the user's answers as intent signal
643- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
644- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
645- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
646- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
647- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
648- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
649- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
650- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
651- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
652- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
653- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
654- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
655
656## 2.1.145
657
658- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
659- Added `agent_id` and `parent_agent_id` attributes to `claude_code.tool` OTEL spans, and fixed trace parenting so background subagent spans nest under the dispatching Agent tool span
660- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
661- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
662- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
663- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
664- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
665- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
666- Fixed MCP prompt slash commands showing raw server validation errors when a required argument is omitted — the error now names the missing argument and shows expected usage
667- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
668- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
669- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
670- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
671- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
672- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
673- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
674- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
675- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
676- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
677- Improved the Read tool to return a truncated first page with a "PARTIAL view" notice instead of a hard error when a whole-file read exceeds the token limit
678
679## 2.1.144
680
681- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
682- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
683- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
684- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
685- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
686- Fixed startup hanging up to 75s when `api.anthropic.com` is unreachable (captive portal, firewall, VPN issues) — side-channel API calls now time out after 15s
687- Fixed garbled terminal output after a missed window-resize event (e.g. dragging a VS Code split-pane divider) — now self-heals on the next frame instead of requiring Ctrl+L
688- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
689- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
690- Fixed macOS background sessions crashing with "exit 1 before init" when the project lives under a Full Disk Access-protected folder (regression in 2.1.143)
691- Fixed an unrecoverable conversation when reading a file whose image extension doesn't match its contents (e.g. HTML saved as .png) — now falls back to text
692- Fewer spurious tool errors during search: `head`/`tail` file views now satisfy the read-before-edit check, and a "no matches" result (exit code 1) from `egrep`, `fgrep`, `git grep`, or `git diff` is no longer reported as a command failure
693- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
694- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
695- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
696- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
697- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
698- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
699- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
700- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
701- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
702- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
703- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
704- Fixed plugins enabled in your own settings showing "not cached" errors after first load on a fresh machine; plugins enabled only by a project's `.claude/settings.json` now show an actionable `claude plugin install` hint
705- Fixed `claude mcp list` silently reporting no servers when `.mcp.json` can't be parsed (e.g. using VS Code's `"servers"` key instead of `"mcpServers"`) — now shows configuration errors
706- Fixed background side-queries on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` setups and Bedrock Mantle not using Haiku — now falls back correctly when a first-party API key is configured or no Haiku model is set
707- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
708- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
709- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
710- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
711- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
712- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
713- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
714- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
715- Fixed opening a session from `claude agents` or running `claude logs <id>` hanging when the background service is unresponsive — now times out after 10s with a recovery hint
716- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
717- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
718- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
719- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
720- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
721- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
722- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
723- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
724- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
725- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
726- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
727- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
728- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
729- Improved SDK/headless MCP startup: pre-wait now overlaps startup instead of blocking before the first turn (up to 2s faster with slow MCP servers)
730- The post-survey follow-up hint now appears after every non-dismiss survey response with context-aware copy, making it easier to share more detail via /feedback.
731
732## 2.1.143
733
734- Added plugin dependency enforcement: `claude plugin disable` now refuses when another enabled plugin depends on the target (with a copy-pasteable disable-chain hint), and `claude plugin enable` force-enables transitive dependencies
735- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
736- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
737- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
738- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
739- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
740- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
741- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
742- Fixed stop hooks that block repeatedly looping forever — the turn now ends with a warning after 8 consecutive blocks (override via `CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP`)
743- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
744- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
745- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
746- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
747- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
748- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
749- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
750- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
751- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
752- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
753- The PowerShell tool is now enabled by default on Windows for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry users. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=0`.
754- `claude agents` now accepts `--add-dir`, `--settings`, `--mcp-config`, and `--plugin-dir` and applies them to the dashboard and to background sessions dispatched from it
755- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
756- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
757- Fixed background sessions silently capturing IDE file references into the warm spare's input, which caused the reference to be prepended to the next prompt dispatched from `claude agents`
758- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
759- Fixed background-job sessions on macOS getting "Operation not permitted" errors when reading files under `~/Documents`, `~/Desktop`, or `~/Downloads`, even with Full Disk Access granted.
760- `/bg` now preserves `--mcp-config`, `--settings`, `--add-dir`, `--plugin-dir`, and `--strict-mcp-config`, so backgrounded sessions keep their MCP servers and settings across respawn.
761- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
762- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
763- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
764- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
765- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
766- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
767
768## 2.1.142
769
770- Added new `claude agents` flags: `--add-dir`, `--settings`, `--mcp-config`, `--plugin-dir`, `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to configure dispatched background sessions
771- Fast mode now uses Opus 4.7 by default (previously Opus 4.6). Set `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE=1` to pin fast mode to Opus 4.6
772- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
773- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
774- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
775- Fixed `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` not raising the per-request fetch timeout for remote HTTP and SSE MCP servers, which capped tool calls at 60 seconds regardless of the configured value
776- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
777- Fixed background sessions disappearing and daemon reconnect failing after macOS sleep/wake — the daemon now detects clock jumps instead of treating them as elapsed idle time
778- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
779- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
780- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
781- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
782- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
783- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
784- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake
785- Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
786- Fixed redundant `set_model` requests from remote clients injecting duplicate `/model` breadcrumbs into the transcript
787- Fixed plugins using `skills: ["./"]` showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
788- Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
789- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
790- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
791- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
792- Improved hook configuration error: configuring a prompt- or agent-type hook for `SessionStart`/`Setup`/`SubagentStart` now shows a clear "use a command-type hook instead" error
793- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
794
795## 2.1.141
796
797- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
798- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
799- Added `ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID` environment variable for workload identity federation — scopes the minted token to a specific workspace when the federation rule covers more than one
800- Added `claude agents --cwd <path>` to scope the session list to a directory
801- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
802- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
803- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
804- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
805- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
806- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
807- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
808- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
809- Fixed background side-queries sending an unavailable Haiku model ID on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway when no `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL` override is set — now falls back to the main-loop model
810- Fixed `claude daemon status` and `/doctor` on Windows throwing when the daemon pipe key file is locked or unreadable — now shows the underlying error instead of an opaque failure
811- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
812- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
813- Fixed background jobs on a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway not getting auto-named — the namer now uses the main model when no Haiku model is configured

827- Fixed multi-line statusline output dropping or corrupting rows when any line exceeds terminal width
828- Fixed light-ansi theme using invisible white for diff context lines on light backgrounds — now uses black
829- Fixed error overlay dumping minified bundle source that hid the original error message
830- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
831- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
832- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
833- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
834- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish

840- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
841- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
842- Fixed plugin MCP servers with unset config variables showing a generic connection failure instead of a "config issue" message with a fix-it hint; malformed `.mcp.json` entries no longer drop other MCP servers
843- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
844- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
845- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
846- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
847- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`

851- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
852- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
853- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
854- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
855- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
856- `claude agents` no longer shows empty placeholder sessions left over from backgrounding a fresh REPL, and shows onboarding text when entered via ← with no other agents
857- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
858
859## 2.1.140
860
861- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
862- Updated agent color palette
863- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
864- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
865- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit

872- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
873- Plugins now warn when a default component folder (e.g. `commands/`) is silently ignored because `plugin.json` sets the matching key. Shown in `/doctor`, `claude plugin list`, and `/plugin`.
874
875## 2.1.139
876
877- Added agent view (Research Preview): a single list of every Claude Code session — running, blocked on you, or done. Run `claude agents` to get started. See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view
878- Added `/goal` command: set a completion condition and Claude keeps working across turns until it's met. Works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control. Shows live elapsed/turns/tokens as an overlay panel
879- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
880- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
881- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
882- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
883- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
884- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
885- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
886- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails

890- `/context` now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
891- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
892- API requests from subagents now carry `x-claude-code-agent-id` / `x-claude-code-parent-agent-id` headers, and `claude_code.llm_request` OTEL spans include `agent_id` / `parent_agent_id` attributes
893- Remote Control, `/schedule`, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `apiKeyHelper` / `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set, even if a Claude.ai login also exists. Unset the API key to use these features
894- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
895- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
896- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
897- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
898- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
899- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`

901- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
902- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
903- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
904- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
905- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
906- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
907- Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one

910- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
911- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling speed in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104; the trackpad now scrolls at a steady rate and the mouse wheel keeps ~3 lines per notch
912- Fixed scroll behavior in Windows Terminal and VS Code when attached to background sessions
913- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
914- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one

944- Fixed `--resume` / `--continue` not finding sessions when the project path contains underscores
945- Fixed plan mode not blocking file writes when a matching `Edit(...)` allow rule exists

947- Fixed plugin `Stop`/`UserPromptSubmit` hooks failing when cache cleanup deletes a version still in use by a running session
948- Improved visual consistency across slash command dialogs: standardized footer hints, dialog spacing, and arrow-key styling, and the dialog frame now appears immediately during loading instead of popping in after
949- Fixed colors appearing at wrong positions in bash command output and markdown code blocks
950- Fixed ReasonML diffs rendering corrupted "undefined" text artifacts at word-diff boundaries

987- Fixed MCP tool results being invisible when the server returns content blocks
988- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
989- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
990
991## 2.1.133
992
993- Added `worktree.baseRef` setting (`fresh` | `head`) to choose whether `--worktree`, `EnterWorktree`, and agent-isolation worktrees branch from `origin/<default>` or local `HEAD`. **Note:** the default `fresh` changes `EnterWorktree`'s base back to `origin/<default>` (it has been local `HEAD` since 2.1.128) — set `worktree.baseRef: "head"` to keep unpushed commits in new worktrees
994- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
995- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
996- Hooks now receive the active effort level via the `effort.level` JSON input field and the `$CLAUDE_EFFORT` environment variable, and Bash tool commands can read `$CLAUDE_EFFORT`

1002- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
1003- Fixed `HTTP(S)_PROXY` / `NO_PROXY` / mTLS not being respected for the full MCP OAuth flow including discovery, dynamic client registration, token exchange, and token refresh
1004- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
1005- Fixed Remote Control stop/interrupt from claude.ai not fully canceling the CLI session the same way local Esc does, causing queued messages to never advance after interrupting a stuck tool or prompt
1006- Fixed `/effort` in one session unexpectedly changing the effort level of other concurrent sessions, and a related issue where an IDE effort change could be silently dropped
1007- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
1008- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`

1010
1011## 2.1.132
1012
1013- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` environment variable to the Bash tool subprocess environment, matching the `session_id` passed to hooks
1014- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1` env var to opt out of the fullscreen alternate-screen renderer and keep the conversation in the terminal's native scrollback
1015- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
1016- Fixed external SIGINT (e.g. IDE stop button, `kill -INT`) not running graceful shutdown — terminal modes are now restored and the `--resume` hint is printed instead of an abrupt exit
1017- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
1018- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
1019- Fixed `--permission-mode` flag being ignored when resuming a plan-mode session with `-p --continue`/`--resume`, and plan mode not being re-applied after `ExitPlanMode` within the same session
1020- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
1021- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
1022- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters
1023- Fixed pasting text starting with `/` silently swallowing the input or triggering an unknown-command reply
1024- Fixed pasting dumping stray escape sequences into the prompt when focus events or mouse-tracking reports interleave with the bracketed paste
1025- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling being too fast in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 due to an upstream xterm.js bug
1026- Fixed scroll-wheel handling in JetBrains IDE 2025.2 terminals (spurious arrow keys, wrong-direction events, runaway acceleration)
1027- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
1028- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there
1029- Fixed `/effort` picker not reflecting the `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` env var override
1030- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
1031- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height
1032- Fixed statusline `context_window` token counts reflecting cumulative session totals instead of current context usage
1033- Fixed Alt+T (thinking toggle) not working on macOS terminals without "Option as Meta" enabled (iTerm2, Terminal.app defaults)
1034- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
1035- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
1036- Fixed MCP servers that connect but fail `tools/list` silently showing 0 tools — they now retry once and show "connected · tools fetch failed" in `/mcp`
1037- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
1038- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
1039- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)
1040- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex 400 errors when `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` is set
1041

1046
1047## 2.1.129
1048
1049- Added `--plugin-url <url>` flag to fetch a plugin `.zip` archive from a URL for the current session
1050- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs `eat`)
1051- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_AUTO_UPDATE`: when set on Homebrew or WinGet installations, Claude Code runs the upgrade command in the background and prompts to restart
1052- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
1053- Gateway `/v1/models` discovery for the `/model` picker is now opt-in via `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY=1` (was automatic in 2.1.126–2.1.128)
1054- Ctrl+R history picker now defaults to searching all prompts across all projects, matching pre-2.1.124 behavior. Press Ctrl+S to narrow to the current project or session
1055- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
1056- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description
1057- The `claude_code.pull_request.count` OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands
1058- Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging
1059- Fixed API errors with unrecognized 400 status codes showing raw JSON instead of the underlying error message
1060- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the terminal tab title after a conversation
1061- Fixed session title chip from `/rename` disappearing while a permission or other dialog is active
1062- Fixed agent panel below the prompt being hidden when subagents are running (regression in 2.1.122)
1063- Fixed external-editor handoff (Ctrl+G) blanking the conversation history above the prompt
1064- Fixed `/context` dumping its rendered ASCII visualization grid into the conversation, wasting ~1.6k tokens per call
1065- Fixed `/agents` Library list arrow-key navigation: the highlighted agent now stays visible when the list exceeds the viewport
1066- Fixed `/branch` success message not including the new branch's session id for `/resume`
1067- Fixed bold headers with keycap/ZWJ/skin-tone emoji losing trailing characters in fullscreen mode
1068- Fixed server-managed settings policy not applying for enterprise/team users whose stored OAuth credentials lacked the `user:inference` scope
1069- Fixed OAuth refresh race after wake-from-sleep that could log out all running sessions
1070- Fixed 1-hour prompt cache TTL being silently downgraded to 5 minutes
1071- Fixed cache-miss warning appearing spuriously after `/clear` or compaction when changing `/effort` or `/model`
1072- Fixed `Bash(mkdir *)`, `Bash(touch *)` and similar allow rules not being honored for in-project paths
1073- Fixed `deniedMcpServers` patterns with a `*://` scheme wildcard not matching mixed-case hostnames
1074- Fixed harmless WebSocket warning being logged as an error in `--debug` during voice mode
1075- [VSCode] Fixed `/clear` not clearing the conversation context and displayed transcript
1076
1077## 2.1.128
1078
1079- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
1080- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
1081- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
1082- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
1083- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
1084- Subprocesses (Bash, hooks, MCP, LSP) no longer inherit `OTEL_*` environment variables, so OTEL-instrumented apps run via the Bash tool no longer pick up the CLI's own OTLP endpoint
1085- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
1086- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
1087- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
1088- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped

1098- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
1099- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
1100- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
1101- Fixed sessions on 1M-context models with a smaller autocompact window being falsely blocked with "Prompt is too long" before reaching the actual API limit
1102- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
1103- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
1104- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
1105- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
1106- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
1107- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
1108- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
1109- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
1110- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
1111- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
1112- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
1113- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
1114- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
1115- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
1116
1117## 2.1.126

1127- Windows: when the PowerShell tool is enabled, Claude now treats PowerShell as the primary shell instead of defaulting to Bash
1128- Read tool: removed the per-file malware-assessment reminder that could cause spurious refusals and "this is not malware" commentary on legacy models
1129- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
1130- Fixed pasting an image larger than 2000px breaking the session — images are now downscaled on paste, and oversized images in history are automatically removed and the request retried
1131- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin

1140- Fixed Japanese/Korean/Chinese text rendering as garbled characters on Windows in no-flicker mode
1141- Fixed `Ctrl+L` clearing the prompt input — it now only forces a screen redraw, matching readline behavior
1142- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn
1143- Fixed plan-mode tools being unavailable in interactive sessions launched with `--channels`
1144- Fixed `/plugin` Uninstall reporting "Enabled" instead of "Uninstalled"
1145- Bounded total size of file-modified reminders when a linter touches many files at once
1146- Fixed `/remote-control` retries appearing stuck on "connecting…" — each retry now shows its result
1147- Fixed Remote Control failure notification not showing the error reason for initial connection failures
1148- Windows: clipboard writes no longer expose copied content in process command-line arguments visible to EDR/SIEM telemetry; also fixes >22KB selections not reaching the clipboard
1149- PowerShell tool: bare `--` (e.g. `git diff -- file`) is no longer mis-flagged as the `--%` stop-parsing token
1150- Fixed Agent SDK hang when the model emits a malformed tool name in a parallel tool call batch
1151

1163- OpenTelemetry: added `claude_code.at_mention` log event for `@`-mention resolution
1164- Fixed `/branch` producing forks that fail with "tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks" when the source session contained entries from rewound timelines
1165- Fixed `/model` not showing the Effort option for Bedrock application inference profile ARNs, and those ARNs not receiving `output_config.effort`
1166- Fixed Vertex AI / Bedrock returning `invalid_request_error: output_config: Extra inputs are not permitted` on session-title generation and other structured-output queries

1170- Fixed `!exit` / `!quit` in bash mode terminating the CLI instead of running as a shell command
1171- Fixed images sent to newer models being resized to 2576px per side instead of the correct 2000px maximum

1173- Fixed assistant messages appearing blank in some sessions due to a stale view preference
1174- Fixed a malformed hooks entry in `settings.json` no longer invalidating the entire file
1175- Voice mode: keybindings bound to Caps Lock now show an error since terminals don't deliver Caps Lock as a key event
1176
1177## 2.1.121

1340- The `/resume` command now offers to summarize stale, large sessions before re-reading them, matching the existing `--resume` behavior
1341- Faster startup when both local and claude.ai MCP servers are configured (concurrent connect now default)

Custom/MCP command names are redacted unless `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` is set
1348- Native builds on macOS and Linux: the `Glob` and `Grep` tools are replaced by embedded `bfs` and `ugrep` available through the Bash tool — faster searches without a separate tool round-trip (Windows and npm-installed builds unchanged)

1363- [VSCode] Fixed "Manage Plugins" panel breaking when multiple large marketplaces are configured
1364- Fixed Opus 4.7 sessions showing inflated `/context` percentages and autocompacting too early — Claude Code was computing against a 200K context window instead of Opus 4.7's native 1M
1365
1366## 2.1.116
1367
1368- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently

1397
1398## 2.1.113
1399
1400- Changed the CLI to spawn a native Claude Code binary (via a per-platform optional dependency) instead of bundled JavaScript
1401- Added `sandbox.network.deniedDomains` setting to block specific domains even when a broader `allowedDomains` wildcard would otherwise permit them
1402- Fullscreen mode: Shift+↑/↓ now scrolls the viewport when extending a selection past the visible edge
1403- `Ctrl+A` and `Ctrl+E` now move to the start/end of the current logical line in multiline input, matching readline behavior

1407- `/extra-usage` now works from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients
1408- Remote Control clients can now query `@`-file autocomplete suggestions
1409- Improved `/ultrareview`: faster launch with parallelized checks, diffstat in the launch dialog, and animated launching state
1410- Subagents that stall mid-stream now fail with a clear error after 10 minutes instead of hanging silently
1411- Bash tool: multi-line commands whose first line is a comment now show the full command in the transcript, closing a UI-spoofing vector
1412- Running `cd <current-directory> && git …` no longer triggers a permission prompt when the `cd` is a no-op
1413- Security: on macOS, `/private/{etc,var,tmp,home}` paths are now treated as dangerous removal targets under `Bash(rm:*)` allow rules
1414- Security: Bash deny rules now match commands wrapped in `env`/`sudo`/`watch`/`ionice`/`setsid` and similar exec wrappers

1429- Fixed prompt cursor disappearing when `NO_COLOR` is set
1430- Fixed `ToolSearch` ranking so pasted MCP tool names surface the actual tool instead of description-matching siblings
1431- Fixed compacting a resumed long-context session failing with "Extra usage is required for long context requests"

1446- Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7
1447- Added `xhigh` effort level for Opus 4.7, sitting between `high` and `max`. Available via `/effort`, `--effort`, and the model picker; other models fall back to `high`
1448- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
1449- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`

1451- Added `/ultrareview` for running comprehensive code review in the cloud using parallel multi-agent analysis and critique — invoke with no arguments to review your current branch, or `/ultrareview <PR#>` to fetch and review a specific GitHub PR
1452- Auto mode no longer requires `--enable-auto-mode`
1453- Windows: PowerShell tool is progressively rolling out. Opt in or out with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL`. On Linux and macOS, enable with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=1` (requires `pwsh` on PATH)
1454- Read-only bash commands with glob patterns (e.g. `ls *.ts`) and commands starting with `cd <project-dir> &&` no longer trigger a permission prompt
1455- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
1456- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
1457- Improved `/setup-vertex` and `/setup-bedrock` to show the actual `settings.json` path when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set, seed model candidates from existing pins on re-run, and offer a "with 1M context" option for supported models
1458- `/skills` menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` to toggle
1459- `Ctrl+U` now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press `Ctrl+Y` to restore
1460- `Ctrl+L` now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing the prompt input

1465- Suppressed spurious decompression, network, and transient error messages that could appear in the TUI during normal operation
1466- Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries — it traded long waits for more outright failures during API overload
1467- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
1468- Fixed `@` file suggestions re-scanning the entire project on every turn in non-git working directories, and showing only config files in freshly-initialized git repos with no tracked files
1469- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
1470- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
1471- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
1472- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
1473- Improved plugin error handling: dependency errors now distinguish conflicting, invalid, and overly complex version requirements; fixed stale resolved versions after `plugin update`; `plugin install` now recovers from interrupted prior installs
1474- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command
1475- Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers)

1478- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
1479- Windows: permission rules with drive-letter paths are now correctly root-anchored, and paths differing only by drive-letter case are recognized as the same path
1480

1482
1483- Added `/tui` command and `tui` setting — run `/tui fullscreen` to switch to flicker-free rendering in the same conversation
1484- Added push notification tool — Claude can send mobile push notifications when Remote Control and "Push when Claude decides" config are enabled

1489- Improved `/doctor` to warn when an MCP server is defined in multiple config scopes with different endpoints
1490- `--resume`/`--continue` now resurrects unexpired scheduled tasks
1491- `/context`, `/exit`, and `/reload-plugins` now work from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients

1507- Hardened "Open in editor" actions against command injection from untrusted filenames
1508- Fixed `PermissionRequest` hooks returning `updatedInput` not being re-checked against `permissions.deny` rules; `setMode:'bypassPermissions'` updates now respect `disableBypassPermissionsMode`
1509- Fixed `PreToolUse` hook `additionalContext` being dropped when the tool call fails
1510- Fixed stdio MCP servers that print stray non-JSON lines to stdout being disconnected on the first stray line (regression in 2.1.105)

1520
1521## 2.1.108
1522
1523- Added `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` env var to opt into 1-hour prompt cache TTL on API key, Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry (`ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H_BEDROCK` is deprecated but still honored), and `FORCE_PROMPT_CACHING_5M` to force 5-minute TTL

1526- `/undo` is now an alias for `/rewind`
1527- Improved `/model` to warn before switching models mid-conversation, since the next response re-reads the full history uncached
1528- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
1529- Improved error messages: server rate limits are now distinguished from plan usage limits; 5xx/529 errors show a link to status.claude.com; unknown slash commands suggest the closest match
1530- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand
1531- Added "verbose" indicator when viewing the detailed transcript (`Ctrl+O`)
1532- Added a warning at startup when prompt caching is disabled via `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING*` environment variables

1538- Fixed session titles showing placeholder example text when the first message is a short greeting
1539- Fixed terminal escape codes appearing as garbage text in the prompt input after `--teleport`
1540- Fixed `/feedback` retry: pressing Enter to resubmit after a failure now works without first editing the description
1541- Fixed `--teleport` and `--resume <id>` precondition errors (e.g. dirty git tree, session not found) exiting silently instead of showing the error message
1542- Fixed Remote Control session titles set in the web UI being overwritten by auto-generated titles after the third message
1543- Fixed `--resume` truncating sessions when the transcript contained a self-referencing message

1559- Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
1560- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
1561- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
1562- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
1563- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
1564- Improved `WebFetch` to strip `<style>` and `<script>` contents from fetched pages so CSS-heavy pages no longer exhaust the content budget before reaching actual text
1565- Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely

1593
1594- Added `/team-onboarding` command to generate a teammate ramp-up guide from your local Claude Code usage
1595- Added OS CA certificate store trust by default, so enterprise TLS proxies work without extra setup (set `CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE=bundled` to use only bundled CAs)
1596- `/ultraplan` and other remote-session features now auto-create a default cloud environment instead of requiring web setup first
1597- Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message
1598- Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
1599- Improved tool-not-available errors to explain why and how to proceed when the model calls a tool that exists but isn't available in the current context
1600- Improved rate-limit retry messages to show which limit was hit and when it resets instead of an opaque seconds countdown
1601- Improved refusal error messages to include the API-provided explanation when available
1602- Improved `claude -p --resume <name>` to accept session titles set via `/rename` or `--name`
1603- Improved settings resilience: an unrecognized hook event name in `settings.json` no longer causes the entire file to be ignored
1604- Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set
1605- Improved `/plugin` and `claude plugin update` to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version

1609- Fixed a command injection vulnerability in the POSIX `which` fallback used by LSP binary detection
1610- Fixed a memory leak where long sessions retained dozens of historical copies of the message list in the virtual scroller
1611- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` losing conversation context on large sessions when the loader anchored on a dead-end branch instead of the live conversation

1613- Fixed a crash on `--resume` when a persisted Edit/Write tool result was missing its `file_path`
1614- Fixed a hardcoded 5-minute request timeout that aborted slow backends (local LLMs, extended thinking, slow gateways) regardless of `API_TIMEOUT_MS`
1615- Fixed `permissions.deny` rules not overriding a PreToolUse hook's `permissionDecision: "ask"` — previously the hook could downgrade a deny into a prompt
1616- Fixed `--setting-sources` without `user` causing background cleanup to ignore `cleanupPeriodDays` and delete conversation history older than 30 days
1617- Fixed Bedrock SigV4 authentication failing with 403 when `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `apiKeyHelper`, or `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS` set an Authorization header

2186
2187## 2.1.77
2188
2189- Increased default maximum output token limits for Claude Opus 4.6 to 64k tokens, and the upper bound for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 models to 128k tokens
2190- Added `allowRead` sandbox filesystem setting to re-allow read access within `denyRead` regions
2191- `/copy` now accepts an optional index: `/copy N` copies the Nth-latest assistant response
2192- Fixed "Always Allow" on compound bash commands (e.g. `cd src && npm test`) saving a single rule for the full string instead of per-subcommand, leading to dead rules and repeated permission prompts
2193- Fixed auto-updater starting overlapping binary downloads when the slash-command overlay repeatedly opened and closed, accumulating tens of gigabytes of memory
2194- Fixed `--resume` silently truncating recent conversation history due to a race between memory-extraction writes and the main transcript

2222- Improved Esc to abort in-flight non-streaming API requests
2223- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check skill, agent, and command frontmatter plus `hooks/hooks.json`, catching YAML parse errors and schema violations
2224- Background bash tasks are now killed if output exceeds 5GB, preventing runaway processes from filling disk
2225- Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
2226- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
2227- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
2228- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
2229- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
2230- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)
2231- [VSCode] Improved plan preview tab titles to use the plan's heading instead of "Claude's Plan"
2232- [VSCode] When option+click doesn't trigger native selection on macOS, the footer now points to the `macOptionClickForcesSelection` setting

2240- Added `PostCompact` hook that fires after compaction completes
2241- Added `/effort` slash command to set model effort level
2242- Added session quality survey — enterprise admins can configure the sample rate via the `feedbackSurveyRate` setting

2257- Fixed transcript not auto-scrolling to new messages after selecting text
2258- Fixed Escape key not working to exit the login method selection screen

2260- Fixed bridge sessions failing to recover after extended WebSocket disconnects
2261- Fixed slash commands not found when typing the exact name of a soft-hidden command
2262- Improved `--worktree` startup performance by reading git refs directly and skipping redundant `git fetch` when the remote branch is already available locally
2263- Improved background agent behavior — killing a background agent now preserves its partial results in the conversation context
2264- Improved model fallback notifications — now always visible instead of hidden behind verbose mode, with human-friendly model names
2265- Improved blockquote readability on dark terminal themes — text is now italic with a left bar instead of dim
2266- Improved stale worktree cleanup — worktrees left behind after an interrupted parallel run are now automatically cleaned up
2267- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
2268- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input
2269- Updated `--plugin-dir` to only accept one path to support subcommands — use repeated `--plugin-dir` for multiple directories

2299- Fixed managed policy `ask` rules being bypassed by user `allow` rules or skill `allowed-tools`
2300- Fixed full model IDs (e.g., `claude-opus-4-5`) being silently ignored in agent frontmatter `model:` field and `--agents` JSON config — agents now accept the same model values as `--model`
2301- Fixed MCP OAuth authentication hanging when the callback port is already in use
2302- Fixed MCP OAuth refresh never prompting for re-auth after the refresh token expires, for OAuth servers that return errors with HTTP 200 (e.g. Slack)
2303- Fixed voice mode silently failing on the macOS native binary for users whose terminal had never been granted microphone permission — the binary now includes the `audio-input` entitlement so macOS prompts correctly
2304- Fixed `SessionEnd` hooks being killed after 1.5 s on exit regardless of `hook.timeout` — now configurable via `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS`
2305- Fixed `/plugin install` failing inside the REPL for marketplace plugins with local sources
2306- Fixed marketplace update not syncing git submodules — plugin sources in submodules no longer break after update

2312- [VSCode] Improved scroll wheel responsiveness in the integrated terminal with terminal-aware acceleration
2313
2314## 2.1.73
2315
2316- Added `modelOverrides` setting to map model picker entries to custom provider model IDs (e.g. Bedrock inference profile ARNs)
2317- Added actionable guidance when OAuth login or connectivity checks fail due to SSL certificate errors (corporate proxies, `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`)
2318- Fixed freezes and 100% CPU loops triggered by permission prompts for complex bash commands
2319- Fixed a deadlock that could freeze Claude Code when many skill files changed at once (e.g. during `git pull` in a repo with a large `.claude/skills/` directory)
2320- Fixed Bash tool output being lost when running multiple Claude Code sessions in the same project directory
2321- Fixed subagents with `model: opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` being silently downgraded to older model versions on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry

2335- Improved clipboard image pasting performance on macOS
2336- Improved `/effort` to work while Claude is responding, matching `/model` behavior
2337- Improved voice mode to automatically retry transient connection failures during rapid push-to-talk re-press
2338- Improved the Remote Control spawn mode selection prompt with better context
2339- Changed default Opus model on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry to Opus 4.6 (was Opus 4.1)
2340- Deprecated `/output-style` command — use `/config` instead. Output style is now fixed at session start for better prompt caching
2341- VSCode: Fixed HTTP 400 errors for users behind proxies or on Bedrock/Vertex with Claude 4.5 models
2342
2343## 2.1.72
2344
2345- Fixed tool search to activate even with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` as long as `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` is set.
2346- Added `w` key in `/copy` to write the focused selection directly to a file, bypassing the clipboard (useful over SSH)

2348- Added `ExitWorktree` tool to leave an `EnterWorktree` session
2349- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` environment variable to immediately stop scheduled cron jobs mid-session
2350- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
2351- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
2352- Simplified effort levels to low/medium/high (removed max) with new symbols (○ ◐ ●) and a brief notification instead of a persistent icon. Use `/effort auto` to reset to default
2353- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
2354- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
2355- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)
2356- Improved bash command parsing by switching to a native module — faster initialization and no memory leak
2357- Reduced bundle size by ~510 KB
2358- Changed CLAUDE.md HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) to be hidden from Claude when auto-injected. Comments remain visible when read with the Read tool
2359- Fixed slow exits when background tasks or hooks were slow to respond
2360- Fixed agent task progress stuck on "Initializing…"
2361- Fixed skill hooks firing twice per event when a hooks-enabled skill is invoked by the model
2362- Fixed several voice mode issues: occasional input lag, false "No speech detected" errors after releasing push-to-talk, and stale transcripts re-filling the prompt after submission
2363- Fixed `--continue` not resuming from the most recent point after `--compact`
2364- Fixed bash security parsing edge cases
2365- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
2366- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
2367- Fixed several plugin issues: installation failing on Windows with `EEXIST` error in OneDrive folders, marketplace blocking user-scope installs when a project-scope install exists, `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR` creating literal `~` directories, and `plugin.json` with marketplace-only fields failing to load
2368- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions
2369- Fixed `--effort` CLI flag being reset by unrelated settings writes on startup
2370- Fixed backgrounded Ctrl+B queries losing their transcript or corrupting the new conversation after `/clear`

2373- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
2374- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
2375- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
2376- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
2377- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
2378- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query
2379- Fixed double Ctrl+C not exiting when background agents or tasks are running
2380- Fixed team agents to inherit the leader's model
2381- Fixed "Always Allow" saving permission rules that never match again
2382- Fixed several hooks issues: `transcript_path` pointing to the wrong directory for resumed/forked sessions, agent `prompt` being silently deleted from settings.json on every settings write, PostToolUse block reason displaying twice, async hooks not receiving stdin with bash `read -r`, and validation error message showing an example that fails validation
2383- Fixed session crashes in Desktop/SDK when Read returned files containing U+2028/U+2029 characters
2384- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
2385- Fixed several permission rule matching issues: wildcard rules not matching commands with heredocs, embedded newlines, or no arguments; `sandbox.excludedCommands` failing with env var prefixes; "always allow" suggesting overly broad prefixes for nested CLI tools; and deny rules not applying to all command forms
2386- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
2387- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
2388- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs
2389- Fixed multi-line session titles when forking from a conversation whose first message contained newlines
2390- Fixed queued messages not showing attached images, and images being lost when pressing ↑ to edit a queued message

2398
2399- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
2400- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
2401- Added `voice:pushToTalk` keybinding to make the voice activation key rebindable in `keybindings.json` (default: space) — modifier+letter combos like `meta+k` have zero typing interference
2402- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
2403- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
2404- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
2405- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
2406- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other
2407- Fixed the Read tool putting oversized images into context when image processing failed, breaking subsequent turns in long image-heavy sessions
2408- Fixed false-positive permission prompts for compound bash commands containing heredoc commit messages
2409- Fixed plugin installations being lost when running multiple Claude Code instances
2410- Fixed claude.ai connectors failing to reconnect after OAuth token refresh
2411- Fixed claude.ai MCP connector startup notifications appearing for every org-configured connector instead of only previously connected ones

2413- Fixed duplicate output in Bash tool error messages when commands exit with non-zero status
2414- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
2415- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref
2416- Fixed `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo@ref` incorrectly parsing `@` — previously only `#` worked as a ref separator, causing undiagnosable errors with `strictKnownMarketplaces`
2417- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
2418- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
2419- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
2420- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
2421- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
2422- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
2423- Improved `/plugin uninstall` to disable project-scoped plugins in `.claude/settings.local.json` instead of modifying `.claude/settings.json`, so changes don't affect teammates
2424- Improved plugin-provided MCP server deduplication — servers that duplicate a manually-configured server (same command/URL) are now skipped, preventing duplicate connections and tool sets. Suppressions are shown in the `/plugin` menu.
2425- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
2426- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
2427
2428## 2.1.70
2429
2430- Fixed API 400 errors when using `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` with a third-party gateway — tool search now correctly detects proxy endpoints and disables `tool_reference` blocks
2431- Fixed `API Error: 400 This model does not support the effort parameter` when using custom Bedrock inference profiles or other model identifiers not matching standard Claude naming patterns
2432- Fixed empty model responses immediately after `ToolSearch` — the server renders tool schemas with system-prompt-style tags at the prompt tail, which could confuse models into stopping early
2433- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
2434- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
2435- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`
2436- Fixed extra VS Code windows opening at startup on Windows when running from the VS Code integrated terminal
2437- Fixed voice mode failing on Windows native binary with "native audio module could not be loaded"
2438- Fixed push-to-talk not activating on session start when `voiceEnabled: true` was set in settings
2439- Fixed markdown links containing `#NNN` references incorrectly pointing to the current repository instead of the linked URL

2441- Fixed plugins showing as inaccurately installed in `/plugin`
2442- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
2443- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
2444- Fixed `/color` command having no way to reset back to the default color — `/color default`, `/color gray`, `/color reset`, and `/color none` now restore the default
2445- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
2446- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
2447- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
2448- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
2449- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
2450- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
2451- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
2452- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
2453- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
2454- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
2455- Reduced Remote Control `/poll` rate to once per 10 minutes while connected (was 1–2s), cutting server load ~300×. Reconnection is unaffected — transport loss immediately wakes fast polling.
2456- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
2457- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
2458- [VSCode] Added native MCP server management dialog — use `/mcp` in the chat panel to enable/disable servers, reconnect, and manage OAuth authentication without switching to the terminal
2459
2460## 2.1.69
2461
2462- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
2463- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
2464- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
2465- Added optional name argument to `/remote-control` and `claude remote-control` (`/remote-control My Project` or `--name "My Project"`) to set a custom session title visible in claude.ai/code
2466- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
2467- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
2468- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
2469- Added `sandbox.enableWeakerNetworkIsolation` setting (macOS only) to allow Go programs like `gh`, `gcloud`, and `terraform` to verify TLS certificates when using a custom MITM proxy with `httpProxyPort`
2470- Added `includeGitInstructions` setting (and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_GIT_INSTRUCTIONS` env var) to remove built-in commit and PR workflow instructions from Claude's system prompt
2471- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
2472- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
2473- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
2474- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
2475- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
2476- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
2477- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
2478- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
2479- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
2480- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
2481- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
2482- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
2483- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
2484- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
2485- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
2486- Fixed macOS keychain corruption when using multiple OAuth MCP servers. Large OAuth metadata blobs could overflow the `security -i` stdin buffer, silently leaving stale credentials behind and causing repeated `/login` prompts.
2487- Fixed `.credentials.json` losing `subscriptionType` (showing "Claude API" instead of "Claude Pro"/"Claude Max") when the profile endpoint transiently fails during token refresh (anthropics/claude-code#30185)
2488- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
2489- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
2490- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
2491- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
2492- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
2493- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
2494- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
2495- Fixed a brief hang after a streaming error on long sessions (the transcript was being fully rewritten to drop one line; it is now truncated in place)
2496- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
2497- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
2498- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
2499- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
2500- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
2501- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
2502- Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
2503- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter

2505- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
2506- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
2507- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
2508- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
2509- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
2510- Fixed sandbox prompting users to approve non-allowed domains when `allowManagedDomainsOnly` is enabled in managed settings — non-allowed domains are now blocked automatically with no bypass
2511- Fixed interactive tools (e.g., `AskUserQuestion`) being silently auto-allowed when listed in a skill's allowed-tools, bypassing the permission prompt and running with empty answers
2512- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
2513- Fixed Escape not interrupting a running turn when the input box has draft text. Use Up arrow to pull queued messages back for editing, or Ctrl+U to clear the input line.
2514- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
2515- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
2516- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
2517- Fixed memory retention in in-process teammates where the parent's full conversation history was pinned for the teammate's lifetime, preventing GC after `/clear` or auto-compact
2518- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
2519- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
2520- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
2521- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
2522- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
2523- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
2524- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
2525- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
2526- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
2527- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior
2528- Fixed `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` plugin hooks being silently ignored
2529- Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
2530- Fixed project skills without a `description:` frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
2531- Fixed `/context` showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
2532- Fixed literal `nul` file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style `2>nul` redirection in Git Bash
2533- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
2534- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
2535- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
2536- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
2537- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
2538- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
2539- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
2540- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
2541- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
2542- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
2543- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
2544- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
2545- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
2546- Improved MCP binary content handling: tools returning PDFs, Office documents, or audio now save decoded bytes to disk with the correct file extension instead of dumping raw base64 into the conversation context. WebFetch also saves binary responses alongside its summary.
2547- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
2548- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
2549- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
2550- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
2551- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
2552- Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
2553- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
2554- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
2555- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
2556- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
2557- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
2558- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
2559- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
2560- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
2561- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
2562- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
2563- [VSCode] The permission mode picker now respects `permissions.disableBypassPermissionsMode` from your effective Claude Code settings (including managed/policy settings) — when set to `disable`, bypass permissions mode is hidden from the picker
2564- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
2565
2566## 2.1.68
2567
2568- Opus 4.6 now defaults to medium effort for Max and Team subscribers. Medium effort works well for most tasks — it's the sweet spot between speed and thoroughness. You can change this anytime with `/model`
2569- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
2570- Removed Opus 4 and 4.1 from Claude Code on the first-party API — users with these models pinned are automatically moved to Opus 4.6
2571
2572## 2.1.66
2573
2574- Reduced spurious error logging
2575
2576## 2.1.63

2578- Added `/simplify` and `/batch` bundled slash commands
2579- Fixed local slash command output like /cost appearing as user-sent messages instead of system messages in the UI
2580- Project configs & auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
2581- Added `ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false` env var to opt out from making claude.ai MCP servers available
2582- Improved `/model` command to show the currently active model in the slash command menu
2583- Added HTTP hooks, which can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON instead of running a shell command
2584- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
2585- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
2586- Added manual URL paste fallback during MCP OAuth authentication. If the automatic localhost redirect doesn't work, you can paste the callback URL to complete authentication.
2587- Fixed memory leak when navigating hooks configuration menu
2588- Fixed listener leak in interactive permission handler during auto-approvals
2589- Fixed file count cache ignoring glob ignore patterns
2590- Fixed memory leak in bash command prefix cache

2595- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache that grew unbounded over long sessions
2596- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
2597- Fixed a race condition in the REPL bridge where new messages could arrive at the server interleaved with historical messages during the initial connection flush, causing message ordering issues.
2598- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
2599- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
2600- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
2601- Added "Always copy full response" option to the `/copy` picker. When selected, future `/copy` commands will skip the code block picker and copy the full response directly.
2602- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
2603- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
2604
2605## 2.1.62
2606
2607- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
2608
2609## 2.1.61
2610
2611- Fixed concurrent writes corrupting config file on Windows
2612
2613## 2.1.59
2614
2615- Claude automatically saves useful context to auto-memory. Manage with /memory
2616- Added `/copy` command to show an interactive picker when code blocks are present, allowing selection of individual code blocks or the full response.
2617- Improved "always allow" prefix suggestions for compound bash commands (e.g. `cd /tmp && git fetch && git push`) to compute smarter per-subcommand prefixes instead of treating the whole command as one
2618- Improved ordering of short task lists
2619- Improved memory usage in multi-agent sessions by releasing completed subagent task state
2620- Fixed MCP OAuth token refresh race condition when running multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously
2621- Fixed shell commands not showing a clear error message when the working directory has been deleted
2622- Fixed config file corruption that could wipe authentication when multiple Claude Code instances ran simultaneously
2623

2627
2628## 2.1.56
2629
2630- VS Code: Fixed another cause of "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found" crashes
2631
2632## 2.1.55
2633
2634- Fixed BashTool failing on Windows with EINVAL error
2635
2636## 2.1.53
2637
2638- Fixed a UI flicker where user input would briefly disappear after submission before the message rendered
2639- Fixed bulk agent kill (ctrl+f) to send a single aggregate notification instead of one per agent, and to properly clear the command queue
2640- Fixed graceful shutdown sometimes leaving stale sessions when using Remote Control by parallelizing teardown network calls
2641- Fixed `--worktree` sometimes being ignored on first launch
2642- Fixed a panic ("switch on corrupted value") on Windows
2643- Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning many processes on Windows
2644- Fixed a crash in the WebAssembly interpreter on Linux x64 & Windows x64
2645- Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred after 2 minutes on Windows ARM64
2646
2647## 2.1.52
2648
2649- VS Code: Fixed extension crash on Windows ("command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found")
2650
2651## 2.1.51
2652
2653- Added `claude remote-control` subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.
2654- Updated plugin marketplace default git timeout from 30s to 120s and added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS` to configure.
2655- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
2656- BashTool now skips login shell (`-l` flag) by default when a shell snapshot is available, improving command execution performance. Previously this required setting `CLAUDE_BASH_NO_LOGIN=true`.
2657- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
2658- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
2659- Fixed a bug where duplicate `control_response` messages (e.g. from WebSocket reconnects) could cause API 400 errors by pushing duplicate assistant messages into the conversation.
2660- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_ACCOUNT_UUID`, `CLAUDE_CODE_USER_EMAIL`, and `CLAUDE_CODE_ORGANIZATION_UUID` environment variables for SDK callers to provide account info synchronously, eliminating a race condition where early telemetry events lacked account metadata.
2661- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
2662- The `/model` picker now shows human-readable labels (e.g., "Sonnet 4.5") instead of raw model IDs for pinned model versions, with an upgrade hint when a newer version is available.
2663- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files
2664
2665## 2.1.50
2666
2667- Added support for `startupTimeout` configuration for LSP servers
2668- Added `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
2669- Fixed a bug where resumed sessions could be invisible when the working directory involved symlinks, because the session storage path was resolved at different times during startup. Also fixed session data loss on SSH disconnect by flushing session data before hooks and analytics in the graceful shutdown sequence.
2670- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
2671- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state
2672- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` to fully strip down skills, session memory, custom agents, and CLAUDE.md token counting
2673- Fixed `/mcp reconnect` freezing the CLI when given a server name that doesn't exist
2674- Fixed memory leak where completed task state objects were never removed from AppState
2675- Added support for `isolation: worktree` in agent definitions, allowing agents to declaratively run in isolated git worktrees.
2676- `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` mode now also disables MCP tools, attachments, hooks, and CLAUDE.md file loading for a fully minimal experience.
2677- Fixed bug where MCP tools were not discovered when tool search is enabled and a prompt is passed in as a launch argument
2678- Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing internal caches after compaction
2679- Added `claude agents` CLI command to list all configured agents
2680- Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing large tool results after they have been processed
2681- Fixed a memory leak where LSP diagnostic data was never cleaned up after delivery, causing unbounded memory growth in long sessions

2683- Improved startup performance for headless mode (`-p` flag) by deferring Yoga WASM and UI component imports
2684- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
2685- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long sessions by capping file history snapshots
2686- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT` environment variable to disable 1M context window support
2687- Opus 4.6 (fast mode) now includes the full 1M context window
2688- VSCode: Added `/extra-usage` command support in VS Code sessions
2689- Fixed memory leak where TaskOutput retained recent lines after cleanup
2690- Fixed memory leak in CircularBuffer where cleared items were retained in the backing array
2691- Fixed memory leak in shell command execution where ChildProcess and AbortController references were retained after cleanup
2692
2693## 2.1.49
2694
2695- Improved MCP OAuth authentication with step-up auth support and discovery caching, reducing redundant network requests during server connections
2696- Added `--worktree` (`-w`) flag to start Claude in an isolated git worktree
2697- Subagents support `isolation: "worktree"` for working in a temporary git worktree
2698- Added Ctrl+F keybinding to kill background agents (two-press confirmation)
2699- Agent definitions support `background: true` to always run as a background task
2700- Plugins can ship `settings.json` for default configuration
2701- Fixed file-not-found errors to suggest corrected paths when the model drops the repo folder
2702- Fixed Ctrl+C and ESC being silently ignored when background agents are running and the main thread is idle. Pressing twice within 3 seconds now kills all background agents.
2703- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
2704- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
2705- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
2706- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
2707- Sonnet 4.5 with 1M context is being removed from the Max plan in favor of our frontier Sonnet 4.6 model, which now has 1M context. Please switch in /model.
2708- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes
2709- Fixed unbounded WASM memory growth during long sessions by periodically resetting the tree-sitter parser
2710- Fixed potential rendering issues caused by stale yoga layout references
2711- Improved performance in non-interactive mode (`-p`) by skipping unnecessary API calls during startup
2712- Improved performance by caching authentication failures for HTTP and SSE MCP servers, avoiding repeated connection attempts to servers requiring auth
2713- Fixed unbounded memory growth during long-running sessions caused by Yoga WASM linear memory never shrinking
2714- SDK model info now includes `supportsEffort`, `supportedEffortLevels`, and `supportsAdaptiveThinking` fields so consumers can discover model capabilities.
2715- Added `ConfigChange` hook event that fires when configuration files change during a session, enabling enterprise security auditing and optional blocking of settings changes.
2716- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
2717- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
2718- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call
2719- Fixed `disableAllHooks` setting to respect managed settings hierarchy — non-managed settings can no longer disable managed hooks set by policy (#26637)
2720- Fixed `--resume` session picker showing raw XML tags for sessions that start with commands like `/clear`. Now correctly falls through to the session ID fallback.
2721- Improved permission prompts for path safety and working directory blocks to show the reason for the restriction instead of a bare prompt with no context
2722
2723## 2.1.47
2724
2725- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
2726- Fixed Windows terminal rendering bugs caused by `os.EOL` (`\r\n`) in display code — line counts now show correct values instead of always showing 1 on Windows.
2727- Improved VS Code plan preview: auto-updates as Claude iterates, enables commenting only when the plan is ready for review, and keeps the preview open when rejecting so Claude can revise.
2728- Fixed a bug where bold and colored text in markdown output could shift to the wrong characters on Windows due to `\r\n` line endings.
2729- Fixed compaction failing when conversation contains many PDF documents by stripping document blocks alongside images before sending to the compaction API (anthropics/claude-code#26188)
2730- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use
2731- Improved startup performance by deferring SessionStart hook execution, reducing time-to-interactive by ~500ms.
2732- Fixed an issue where bash tool output was silently discarded on Windows when using MSYS2 or Cygwin shells.
2733- Improved performance of `@` file mentions - file suggestions now appear faster by pre-warming the index on startup and using session-based caching with background refresh.
2734- Improved memory usage by trimming agent task message history after tasks complete
2735- Improved memory usage during long agent sessions by eliminating O(n²) message accumulation in progress updates
2736- Fixed the bash permission classifier to validate that returned match descriptions correspond to actual input rules, preventing hallucinated descriptions from incorrectly granting permissions
2737- Fixed user-defined agents only loading one file on NFS/FUSE filesystems that report zero inodes (anthropics/claude-code#26044)
2738- Fixed plugin agent skills silently failing to load when referenced by bare name instead of fully-qualified plugin name (anthropics/claude-code#25834)
2739- Search patterns in collapsed tool results are now displayed in quotes for clarity
2740- Windows: Fixed CWD tracking temp files never being cleaned up, causing them to accumulate indefinitely (anthropics/claude-code#17600)
2741- Use `ctrl+f` to kill all background agents instead of double-pressing ESC. Background agents now continue running when you press ESC to cancel the main thread, giving you more control over agent lifecycle.
2742- Fixed API 400 errors ("thinking blocks cannot be modified") that occurred in sessions with concurrent agents, caused by interleaved streaming content blocks preventing proper message merging.
2743- Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
2744- Fixed an issue where a single file write/edit error would abort all other parallel file write/edit operations. Independent file mutations now complete even when a sibling fails.
2745- Added `last_assistant_message` field to Stop and SubagentStop hook inputs, providing the final assistant response text so hooks can access it without parsing transcript files.
2746- Fixed custom session titles set via `/rename` being lost after resuming a conversation (anthropics/claude-code#23610)
2747- Fixed collapsed read/search hint text overflowing on narrow terminals by truncating from the start.
2748- Fixed an issue where bash commands with backslash-newline continuation lines (e.g., long commands split across multiple lines with `\`) would produce spurious empty arguments, potentially breaking command execution.
2749- Fixed built-in slash commands (`/help`, `/model`, `/compact`, etc.) being hidden from the autocomplete dropdown when many user skills are installed (anthropics/claude-code#22020)
2750- Fixed MCP servers not appearing in the MCP Management Dialog after deferred loading
2751- Fixed session name persisting in status bar after `/clear` command (anthropics/claude-code#26082)
2752- Fixed crash when a skill's `name` or `description` in SKILL.md frontmatter is a bare number (e.g., `name: 3000`) — the value is now properly coerced to a string (anthropics/claude-code#25837)
2753- Fixed /resume silently dropping sessions when the first message exceeds 16KB or uses array-format content (anthropics/claude-code#25721)
2754- Added `chat:newline` keybinding action for configurable multi-line input (anthropics/claude-code#26075)
