1# Changelog
2
3## 2.1.201
4
5- Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders
6
7## 2.1.200
8
9- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
10- Changed the "default" permission mode to "Manual" across the CLI, `--help`, VS Code, and JetBrains; `--permission-mode manual` and `"defaultMode": "manual"` are accepted alongside `default`
11- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
12- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
13- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
14- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
15- Fixed background-agent daemon handover so a reinstalled older build can no longer take over the daemon; build recency is now judged by the version's embedded build timestamp
16- Fixed background-agent roster issues: transient corruption permanently disabling orphan cleanup, older binaries not preserving fields written by newer versions, and socket auth tokens being stripped during daemon restarts
17- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
18- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
19- Fixed `claude agents --plugin-dir <dir>` not showing the plugin's agents and skills in the agent view when the flag is placed after `agents`
20- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
21- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
22- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
23- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
24- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
25- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
26
27## 2.1.199
28
29- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
30- Fixed SSL certificate errors (TLS-inspecting proxies, missing `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`, expired certs) burning retries before showing actionable guidance — they now fail immediately with the fix hint
31- Fixed streaming responses being discarded when the API emits a mid-stream overloaded/server error after partial output — the partial is now kept with an incomplete-response notice
32- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
33- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
34- Fixed the background-agent daemon on Linux killing itself and every running agent every ~50 seconds after an unclean shutdown left a corrupted worker record
35- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
36- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
37- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
38- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
39- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
40- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
41- Fixed typing `/model` or `/fast` while viewing a subagent silently opening the lead's model picker — a notice now explains the command applies to the lead
42- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
43- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
44- Fixed `SendMessage` silently misrouting when a re-spawned agent reuses a previous agent's name — the tool now detects the mismatch and asks the caller to retarget
45- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
46- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
47- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
48- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
49- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
50- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
51- `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` now raises the default retry count for non-capacity transient errors to 300 and lifts the cap of 15 on `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES`
52- `claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
53
54## 2.1.198
55
56- Subagents now run in the background by default, so Claude keeps working while they run and is notified when they finish (previously a gradual rollout)
57- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
58- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
59- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
60- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
61- Background agents launched from `claude agents` now commit, push, and open a draft PR when they finish code work in a worktree, instead of stopping to ask
62- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
63- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
64- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
65- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
66- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
67- Fixed agent teams: a teammate that dies on an API error now reports "failed" to the lead, and messaging a stuck teammate wakes it to retry immediately
68- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
69- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
70- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
71- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
72- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
73- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
74- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
75- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
76- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
77- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
78- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
79- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
80- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
81- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
82- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
83- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
84- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
85- Improved API retry UX: the error reason is now shown after the second attempt, and a status page link replaces the spinner tip when the API is overloaded
86- `/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
87- Subagents now treat messages from the agent that launched them as normal task direction; an agent's message is still never treated as the user's approval
88- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
89
90## 2.1.197
91
92- Introducing Claude Sonnet 5: now the default model in Claude Code, with a native 1M-token context window and promotional pricing of $2/$10 per Mtok through August 31. Update to version 2.1.197 for access. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-5
93
94## 2.1.196
95
96- Added support for organization default models — admins set it in the org console; it shows as "Org default" (or "Role default") in `/model` when you haven't picked one yourself
97- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
98- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
99- Security: `claude mcp list`/`get` no longer spawn `.mcp.json` servers that a repo self-approved via a committed `.claude/settings.json`; untrusted workspaces show `⏸ Pending approval`
100- Fixed waking a background job permanently deleting its conversation and re-running the original prompt when the transcript probe misread a real transcript; the file is now set aside, never deleted
101- Fixed the rate-limit warning flickering off and rate-limit telemetry being over-counted when multiple parallel requests were in flight at the moment a usage limit was hit
102- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
103- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
104- Fixed multiple `claude agents` side panel issues: keyboard focus getting stuck when opening an agent, background jobs losing their subagent types on every open, and sessions showing incorrect status while actively running
105- Fixed `claude agents --dangerously-skip-permissions` silently falling back to auto mode instead of showing the bypass disclaimer and applying bypass mode to spawned agents
106- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
107- Fixed sessions moved with `/cd` reappearing in the old directory's resume list after a non-graceful exit when the old path contained special characters
108- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
109- Fixed Esc Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind menu (regression); use Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X Ctrl+K to stop background agents
110- Fixed MCP OAuth requesting the authorization server's full `scopes_supported` catalog when no scope is specified, causing `invalid_scope` failures on GitLab self-hosted and other enterprise IdPs
111- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
112- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
113- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
114- Fixed `claude agents` session status: completed rows no longer flip between "Done" and "Needs your input", stalled agents are now labeled "Needs attention", and results that mention a PR show a clickable link
115- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
116- Improved background session reliability: long-running commands and workflows now survive the session's process being stopped, restarted, or updated — including on Windows, where background shells are handed off instead of being killed
117- Improved background agents: workers killed by a daemon restart are now automatically resumed from where they left off the next time the agents view opens
118- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
119- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
120- The streaming idle watchdog is now on by default for all providers — it aborts and retries when a response stream produces no events for 5 minutes. Set `CLAUDE_ENABLE_STREAM_WATCHDOG=0` to disable.
121- Remote Control is now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at a non-Anthropic host, matching the existing behavior under `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK`/`_VERTEX`/`_FOUNDRY`
122- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
123
124## 2.1.195
125
126- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
127- Fixed hook matchers with hyphenated identifiers (e.g. `code-reviewer`, `mcp__brave-search`) accidentally substring-matching — they now exact-match. Use `mcp__brave-search__.*` to match all tools from a hyphenated MCP server.
128- Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
129- Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
130- Fixed external plugins enabled only by project `.claude/settings.json` not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path
131- Fixed `/plugin` Enable/Disable not working when a plugin's `plugin.json` `name` differs from its marketplace entry name
132- Fixed background jobs disappearing from `claude agents` or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
133- Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
134- Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
135- Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes "no microphone" from "SoX not installed" when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
136- Improved `claude agents` completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
137- Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts
138
139## 2.1.193
140
141- Added `autoMode.classifyAllShell` setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
142- Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and `/permissions` recent denials
143- Added `claude_code.assistant_response` OpenTelemetry log event containing the model's response text. Redacted unless `OTEL_LOG_ASSISTANT_RESPONSES=1`; when that var is unset it follows `OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS`, so deployments that already log prompt content will start receiving response content on upgrade — set `OTEL_LOG_ASSISTANT_RESPONSES=0` to keep prompts-only.
144- Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (`!`)
145- Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at `/mcp`
146- Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1`)
147- Fixed `/model` and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after `/login`
148- Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
149- Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
150- Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
151- Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
152- Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
153- Improved MCP `headersHelper` auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
154- Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace `renames` maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
155- Improved `/add-dir` message when the directory is already a working directory
156
157## 2.1.191
158
159- Added `/rewind` support for resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run
160- Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
161- Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent
162- Fixed `/voice` showing a generic "not available" message when disabled by an organization's policy — it now explains the restriction
163- Fixed `/login` URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
164- Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
165- Fixed `claude agents` sending builtin slash commands like `/usage` to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
166- Fixed `claude agents` job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the `[Image #N]` placeholder
167- Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. `"Bash,PowerShell"`) silently never firing
168- Fixed `/permissions` Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
169- Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
170- Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
171- Fixed managed settings: `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` now takes effect when set via MDM or file policy, and the fetch sends `Cache-Control: no-cache` to prevent proxies from serving stale responses
172- Improved sandbox network permission dialog: hosts you allow with "Yes" are now remembered for the rest of the session instead of re-prompting on every connection
173- Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (`tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list`) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
174- Improved MCP OAuth: discovery and token requests now retry once after transient network errors, and headless environments skip the browser popup and go straight to the paste-the-URL prompt
175- Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
176- Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL `/`) to hint how to reach slash commands
177- Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
178- Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache
179
180## 2.1.190
181
182- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
183
184## 2.1.187
185
186- Added `sandbox.credentials` setting to block sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables
187- Added org-configured model restrictions to the model picker, `--model`, `/model`, and `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`, with a "restricted by your organization's settings" message when a restricted model is selected
188- Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, `/model`, `/config`, etc.) in fullscreen mode
189- Fixed `--resume` failing with "No conversation found" when the original `-p` run produced no model turns
190- Fixed `--json-schema` and workflow `agent({schema})` structured output: the model can no longer re-call `StructuredOutput` indefinitely after a successful call, and follow-up turns now reliably return structured output
191- Fixed remote MCP tool calls that hang with no response for 5 minutes — they now abort with an error instead of blocking indefinitely (override with `CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_TOOL_IDLE_TIMEOUT`)
192- Fixed Claude Code Remote sessions taking ~2.7s longer to start after the agent proxy CA system-trust install was added
193- Fixed pasted Korean/CJK text turning into mojibake in terminals that deliver paste as per-byte extended-key events
194- Fixed `/update` over Remote Control hanging when a startup trust dialog would have shown
195- Fixed background jobs in the agents view getting stuck in "working" indefinitely when the agent ended a turn without producing structured output
196- Fixed channel connections dropping after navigating to the agents view and back, and after `/bg`, `/tui`, or `/update`
197- Fixed agent stop notifications not correctly attributing who stopped the agent, and improved wording ("finished"/"stopped" instead of "came to rest")
198- Fixed subagent depth tracking: resumed subagents now restore their original spawn depth, and forked subagents now count toward the depth cap
199- Fixed leaked agent worktree registrations: locked `.git/worktrees/` entries from killed agents are now cleaned up automatically
200- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
201- Fixed `claude --help` not listing the `--bg`/`--background` flag
202- Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while `/share` is uploading
203- Improved `/install-github-app`: GitHub Actions workflow setup is now optional — you can install just the GitHub App and skip the workflow/secret steps
204- Improved `/btw` with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
205- Improved `/plugin` to surface plugins you haven't used recently so you can clean them up
206- [VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session
207
208## 2.1.186
209
210- 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
211- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view
212- Added a "Skills" section to the `/plugin` Installed tab
213- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
214- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
215- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
216- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
217- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
218- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
219- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
220- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
221- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
222- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
223- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
224- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
225- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
226- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
227- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
228- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
229- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
230- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
231- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
232- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
233- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
234- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
235- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
236- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
237- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
238- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
239- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
240- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
241- 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
242- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
243
244## 2.1.185
245
246- 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
247
248## 2.1.183
249
250- 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
251- 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
252- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
253- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
254- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
255- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
256- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
257- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
258- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
259- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
260- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
261- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
262- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
263- 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
264- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
265- 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
266- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
267
268## 2.1.181
269
270- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
271- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
272- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
273- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
274- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
275- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
276- 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
277- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
278- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
279- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
280- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
281- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
282- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
283- 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
284- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
285- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
286- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
287- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
288- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
289- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
290- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
291- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
292- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
293- 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`
294- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
295- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
296- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
297- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
298- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
299- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
300- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
301- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
302- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
303- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
304- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
305- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
306- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
307- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
308- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
309
310## 2.1.179
311
312- 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"
313- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
314- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
315- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
316- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
317- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
318- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
319- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
320- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
321
322## 2.1.178
323
324- 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.
325- 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
326- 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
327- 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/`
328- 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
329- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
330- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
331- 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
332- 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
333- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
334- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
335- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
336- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
337- 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
338- 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`
339- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
340- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
341- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
342- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
343- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
344- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
345- 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
346- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
347- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
348
349## 2.1.176
350
351- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
352- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
353- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
354- 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
355- 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
356- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
357- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
358- 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
359- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
360- 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
361- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
362- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
363- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
364- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
365- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
366- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
367- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
368- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
369- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
370- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
371- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
372- 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
373
374## 2.1.175
375
376- 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
377
378## 2.1.174
379
380- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
381- 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
382- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
383- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
384- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
385- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
386- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
387- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
388- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
389- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
390- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
391- [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
392- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
393
394## 2.1.173
395
396- 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
397- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
398
399## 2.1.172
400
401- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
402- 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
403- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
404- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
405- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
406- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
407- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
408- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
409- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
410- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
411- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
412- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
413- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
414- 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
415- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
416- 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
417- 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
418- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
419- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
420- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
421- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
422- 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
423- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
424- 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
425- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
426- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
427- `/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
428- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
429- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
430- [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
431
432## 2.1.170
433
434- 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
435- 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.
436
437## 2.1.169
438
439- 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)
440- 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
441- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
442- 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
443- 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
444- 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
445- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
446- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
447- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
448- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
449- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
450- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
451- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
452- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
453- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
454- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
455- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
456- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
457- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
458- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
459- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
460- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
461- 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
462- 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
463- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
464- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
465- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
466- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
467- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
468- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
469- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions
470
471## 2.1.168
472
473- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
474
475## 2.1.167
476
477- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
478
479## 2.1.166
480
481- 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
482- 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
483- 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
484- `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)
485- 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
486- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
487- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
488- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
489- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
490- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
491- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
492- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
493- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
494- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
495- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
496- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
497- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
498- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
499- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
500- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
501- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
502
503## 2.1.165
504
505- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
506
507## 2.1.163
508
509- 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
510- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
511- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
512- 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
513- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
514- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
515- Fixed `claude -p` hanging forever after its final result when a backgrounded command never exits — background shells are now stopped ~5s after the result once stdin closes
516- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
517- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
518- 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
519- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
520- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
521- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
522- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
523- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
524- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
525- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
526- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
527- 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
528- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
529- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
530- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
531
532## 2.1.162
533
534- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
535- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
536- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
537- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
538- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
539- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
540- 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
541- 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
542- 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
543- 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
544- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
545- 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
546- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
547- 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
548- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
549- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
550- 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
551- 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
552- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
553- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
554- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
555- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
556- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
557- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
558- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
559- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
560- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
561- 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
562
563## 2.1.161
564
565- `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
566- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
567- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
568- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
569- 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
570- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
571- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
572- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
573- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
574- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
575- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
576- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
577- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
578- Fixed `claude mcp` list/get/add printing secrets to the terminal: `${VAR}` references are no longer expanded, and credential headers and URL secrets are redacted
579- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
580- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
581- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
582- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
583- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
584- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
585- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
586- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
587
588## 2.1.160
589
590- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
591- `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.)
592- 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
593- 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
594- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
595- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
596- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
597- 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
598- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
599- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
600- 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
601- 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
602- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
603- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
604- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
605- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
606- 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
607- 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
608- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
609- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
610- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
611- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
612- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
613- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
614- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
615- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
616- 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
617
618## 2.1.159
619
620- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
621
622## 2.1.158
623

632- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
633- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
634- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
635- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
636- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
637- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell

640- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
641- Fixed copy-on-select in `claude agents` not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with `set-clipboard on` (regression in 2.1.153)
642- Fixed `--resume` not reporting background subagents that were running when the previous Claude Code process exited
643- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
644- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
645- 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
646- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
647- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup
648- Fixed a rare duplicate line appearing in scrollback after the terminal UI redraws
649- Fixed right-click paste duplicating the clipboard in the VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf integrated terminals
650- WSL: fixed image paste (`alt+v` keybinding), screenshot paste on Windows 11, and added support for dragging images from Windows Explorer
651- Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
652- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
653- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
654- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
655- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
656- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
657- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
658- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
659- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
660- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
661
662## 2.1.156
663
664- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
665
666## 2.1.154
667
668- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
669- 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
670- 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
671- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
672- 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
673- `/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
674- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
675- `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>'`
676- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
677- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
678- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
679- 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
680- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
681- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
682- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
683- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
684- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
685- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
686- 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`
687- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
688- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
689- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
690- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
691- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
692- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
693- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
694- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
695- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
696- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
697- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
698- 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
699- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
700- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
701- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
702- 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
703- 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
704- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
705- 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
706- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
707- [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
708- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
709- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
710- 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
711- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
712
713## 2.1.153
714
715- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
716- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
717- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
718- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
719- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
720- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
721- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
722- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
723- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
724- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
725- 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
726- `--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
727- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
728- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
729- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
730- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
731- 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
732- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
733- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
734- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
735- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
736- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
737- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
738- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
739- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
740- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
741- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
742- 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
743- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs

745- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
746- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
747- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
748- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
749- `/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.
750- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
751
752## 2.1.152
753
754- `/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`
755- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
756- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
757- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
758- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
759- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
760- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
761- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
762- 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
763- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
764- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
765- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
766- 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)
767- 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
768- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
769- 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
770- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
771- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
772- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout

774- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
775- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
776- 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
777- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
778- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
779- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
780- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
781- 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
782- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
783- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled

785- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
786- 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
787
788## 2.1.150
789
790- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
791
792## 2.1.149
793
794- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
795- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
796- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
797- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
798- 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
799- 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)
800- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
801- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
802- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
803- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
804- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes

806- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
807- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
808- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
809- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
810- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
811- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
812- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
813- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
814- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
815- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
816- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
817- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
818- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
819- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
820
821## 2.1.148
822
823- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
824
825## 2.1.147
826
827- 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
828- 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
829- 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
830- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
831- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
832- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
833- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
834- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
835- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
836- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
837- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
838- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
839- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
840- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
841- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
842- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
843- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
844- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
845- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
846- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
847- 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
848- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
849- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
850- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
851- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
852- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
853- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
854- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
855- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
856- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
857- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
858- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
859- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
860
861## 2.1.145
862
863- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
864- 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
865- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
866- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
867- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
868- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
869- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
870- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
871- 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
872- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
873- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
874- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
875- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
876- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
877- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
878- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
879- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
880- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
881- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
882- 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
883
884## 2.1.144
885
886- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
887- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
888- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
889- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
890- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
891- 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
892- 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
893- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
894- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
895- 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)
896- 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
897- 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
898- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
899- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
900- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
901- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
902- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
903- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
904- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
905- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
906- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
907- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
908- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
909- 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
910- 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
911- 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
912- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
913- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
914- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
915- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
916- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
917- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
918- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
919- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
920- 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
921- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
922- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
923- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
924- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
925- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
926- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
927- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
928- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
929- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
930- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
931- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
932- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
933- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
934- 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)
935- 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.
936
937## 2.1.143
938
939- 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
940- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
941- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
942- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
943- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
944- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
945- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
946- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
947- 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`)
948- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
949- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
950- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
951- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
952- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
953- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
954- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
955- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
956- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
957- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
958- 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`.
959- `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
960- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
961- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
962- 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`
963- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
964- 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.
965- `/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.
966- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
967- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
968- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
969- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
970- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
971- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
972
973## 2.1.142
974
975- 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
976- 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
977- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
978- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
979- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
980- 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
981- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
982- 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
983- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
984- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
985- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
986- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
987- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
988- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
989- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake
990- Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link

992- Fixed plugins using `skills: ["./"]` showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
993- Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
994- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
995- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
996- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
997- 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
998- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
999
1000## 2.1.141
1001
1002- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
1003- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
1004- 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
1005- Added `claude agents --cwd <path>` to scope the session list to a directory
1006- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
1007- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
1008- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
1009- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
1010- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
1011- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
1012- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
1013- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
1014- 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
1015- 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
1016- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
1017- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
1018- 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
1019- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
1020- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
1021- Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box
1022- Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent `transcript_path` after `EnterWorktree` switches the working directory
1023- Fixed markdown tables with cell wrapping falling back to the vertical key-value layout instead of rendering as a bordered grid (regression in 2.1.136)
1024- Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
1025- Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
1026- Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
1027- Fixed alternative `chat:submit` keybindings (e.g. `meta+enter`, `ctrl+enter`) not working when `enter` is rebound to `chat:newline`
1028- Fixed prompt suggestions being silently disabled when an output style was configured
1029- Fixed `spinnerVerbs` setting not being honored in turn-completion messages
1030- Fixed AskUserQuestion popup hiding the last line of preceding chat content
1031- Fixed Web Search status showing "Did 0 searches" when searches returned errors
1032- Fixed multi-line statusline output dropping or corrupting rows when any line exceeds terminal width
1033- Fixed light-ansi theme using invisible white for diff context lines on light backgrounds — now uses black
1034- Fixed error overlay dumping minified bundle source that hid the original error message
1035- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
1036- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
1037- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
1038- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
1039- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
1040- Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name
1041- Fixed `/mcp` server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
1042- Fixed redaction in `/feedback` bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs
1043- Fixed desktop and third-party provider sessions incorrectly inheriting `apiKeyHelper`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` from host managed-settings
1044- Fixed early analytics events being silently dropped when fired before logger initialization
1045- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
1046- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
1047- 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
1048- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
1049- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
1050- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
1051- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
1052- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
1053- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
1054- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
1055- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
1056- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
1057- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
1058- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
1059- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
1060- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
1061- `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
1062- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
1063
1064## 2.1.140
1065
1066- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
1067- Updated agent color palette
1068- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
1069- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
1070- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
1071- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time
1072- Fixed remote managed settings not retrying on 401 — now retries once with a force-refreshed token

1074- Fixed `/loop` scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
1075- Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. `gh`) triggered synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns on every check
1076- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
1077- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
1078- 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`.
1079

1082- 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
1083- 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
1084- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
1085- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
1086- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
1087- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
1088- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
1089- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
1090- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
1091- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails
1092- `/context all` per-skill token estimates now account for the model's tokenizer and show rounded values
1093- `claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace>` now auto-refreshes the marketplace and retries before reporting a plugin as not found
1094- `/plugin` installed-plugin details now show hook event names and MCP server names cleanly
1095- `/context` now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
1096- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
1097- API requests from subagents now carry `x-claude-code-agent-id` / `x-claude-code-parent-agent-id` headers, and `claude_code.llm_request` OTEL spans include `agent_id` / `parent_agent_id` attributes
1098- Remote Control, `/schedule`, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `apiKeyHelper` / `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set, even if a Claude.ai login also exists. Unset the API key to use these features
1099- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
1100- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
1101- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
1102- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
1103- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
1104- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
1105- Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
1106- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
1107- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
1108- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
1109- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
1110- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
1111- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
1112- Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one
1113- Fixed hyperlinks using unreadable dark navy on dark themes — they now adapt to the active theme
1114- Fixed model picker showing a redundant "Current model" row for third-party users whose model is set to the `opus` alias
1115- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
1116- 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
1117- Fixed scroll behavior in Windows Terminal and VS Code when attached to background sessions
1118- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
1119- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one
1120- Fixed Grep results not relativizing Windows drive-letter paths and count mode reporting wrong totals for single-file paths
1121- Fixed border-embedded text overflowing on CJK/emoji due to visual cell width miscalculation
1122- Fixed fuzzy-match highlighting splitting emoji and astral-plane characters mid-pair
1123- Fixed skill argument names containing regex metacharacters breaking argument substitution
1124- Fixed ProgressBar rendering a full block for an almost-full fractional cell
1125- Fixed task polling and `fs.watch` being resurrected when the last subscriber leaves while a fetch is in flight
1126- Fixed plugin dependency resolution leaving a stale count when the manifest name differs from the source identifier
1127- Fixed Insights Time-of-Day chart skewing when a session has an unparseable timestamp
1128- Fixed keybindings using only the cmd/super/win modifier being flagged as unparseable
1129- Fixed `claude_code.active_time.total` OpenTelemetry metric not being emitted in `--print` mode
1130- Fixed `claude plugin update` not preserving cross-plugin symlinks inside a marketplace
1131- [VSCode] Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the most recently closed session tab, configurable via `claudeCode.enableReopenClosedSessionShortcut`

1140
1141## 2.1.136
1142
1143- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY_FOR_OTEL` to re-enable the session quality survey for enterprises capturing responses through OpenTelemetry
1144- Added `settings.autoMode.hard_deny` for auto mode classifier rules that block unconditionally regardless of user intent or allow exceptions
1145- Fixed MCP servers configured in `.mcp.json`, plugins, and claude.ai connectors silently disappearing after `/clear` in the VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, and Agent SDK
1146- Fixed a rare login loop where a concurrent credential write could overwrite a freshly-rotated OAuth token and force re-login
1147- Fixed MCP OAuth refresh tokens being lost when multiple servers refresh concurrently — users with several remote MCP servers should no longer need daily re-authentication
1148- Fixed an API error (400) when extended thinking emitted a redacted thinking block after a tool call
1149- Fixed `--resume` / `--continue` not finding sessions when the project path contains underscores
1150- Fixed plan mode not blocking file writes when a matching `Edit(...)` allow rule exists
1151- WSL2: image paste from Windows clipboard now works via a PowerShell fallback when xclip/wl-paste cannot read image data
1152- Fixed plugin `Stop`/`UserPromptSubmit` hooks failing when cache cleanup deletes a version still in use by a running session
1153- 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
1154- Fixed colors appearing at wrong positions in bash command output and markdown code blocks
1155- Fixed ReasonML diffs rendering corrupted "undefined" text artifacts at word-diff boundaries
1156- Fixed worktree exit dialog warning about uncommitted files in the wrong directory after worktree removal

1163- Fixed `/insights` crash when session history contains tool calls with malformed input fields
1164- Fixed a renderer crash when a tool's collapsibility classification changes mid-session
1165- Fixed a `skills` entry in `plugin.json` hiding the plugin's default `skills/` directory, and listing a file path now shows an error instead of failing silently
1166- Fixed IDE shell-integration lock files not respecting `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`
1167- Fixed trailing whitespace in copied terminal output during streaming
1168- Fixed plugin uninstall and enable/disable not matching slugs case-insensitively

1170- Fixed env vars from `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` SessionStart hooks going stale after `/resume` or `/clear`
1171- Fixed `/branch` saving a multi-line session title when given a pasted multi-line name
1172- Fixed a stray leading space on the second line of wrapped text at the column boundary
1173- Fixed Esc not dismissing dialogs in `/install-github-app`, `/desktop`, `/resume`, and `/web-setup`
1174- Fixed `/doctor` MCP schema errors not naming the missing field or showing the source file path

1178- Fixed `/clear <name>` not labeling the cleared session for `/resume`
1179- Fixed `CronList` output missing qualifiers and the scheduled prompt

1183- Fixed `/release-notes` getting stuck on an old version after a failed changelog refresh
1184- Fixed `/mcp` server list not scrolling when there are more servers than fit in the terminal
1185- Fixed mid-input slash command autocomplete not working after an initial slash command
1186- Fixed scrolling to bottom re-engaging auto-follow with `autoScrollEnabled: false`
1187- Fixed prompt suggestions being auto-submitted by Enter on an empty input instead of requiring Tab or arrow to accept
1188- Fixed keyboard shortcut hints not reflecting rebound keys from `keybindings.json`
1189- Fixed `/settings` language change being reverted on Escape after confirming
1190- Fixed `/terminal-setup` only appearing in autocomplete on exact name match instead of partial prefixes
1191- Fixed "Chat about this" on an `AskUserQuestion` dialog erasing the question text
1192- Fixed MCP tool results being invisible when the server returns content blocks
1193- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
1194- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
1195
1196## 2.1.133
1197
1198- 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
1199- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
1200- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
1201- 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`
1202- Improved focus mode behavior
1203- Improved memory usage by releasing warm-spare background workers under memory pressure
1204- Fixed parallel sessions all dead-ending at 401 after a refresh-token race wiped shared credentials
1205- Fixed `Edit`/`Write` allow rules scoped to a drive root (`C:\`) or POSIX `/` matching incorrectly and always prompting
1206- Fixed an unhandled rejection (`ECOMPROMISED`) when a history or session-log file lock is compromised by clock skew or slow disk
1207- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
1208- 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
1209- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
1210- 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
1211- 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
1212- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
1213- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`
1214- [VSCode] Fixed `claudeCode.claudeProcessWrapper` failing with "Unsupported platform" when the extension build doesn't bundle a Claude binary
1215
1216## 2.1.132
1217
1218- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` environment variable to the Bash tool subprocess environment, matching the `session_id` passed to hooks
1219- 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
1220- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
1221- 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
1222- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
1223- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
1224- 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
1225- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
1226- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
1227- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters
1228- Fixed pasting text starting with `/` silently swallowing the input or triggering an unknown-command reply
1229- Fixed pasting dumping stray escape sequences into the prompt when focus events or mouse-tracking reports interleave with the bracketed paste
1230- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling being too fast in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 due to an upstream xterm.js bug
1231- Fixed scroll-wheel handling in JetBrains IDE 2025.2 terminals (spurious arrow keys, wrong-direction events, runaway acceleration)
1232- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
1233- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there
1234- Fixed `/effort` picker not reflecting the `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` env var override
1235- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
1236- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height
1237- Fixed statusline `context_window` token counts reflecting cumulative session totals instead of current context usage
1238- Fixed Alt+T (thinking toggle) not working on macOS terminals without "Option as Meta" enabled (iTerm2, Terminal.app defaults)
1239- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
1240- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
1241- 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`
1242- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
1243- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
1244- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)
1245- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex 400 errors when `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` is set
1246
1247## 2.1.131
1248
1249- Fixed VS Code extension failing to activate on Windows due to a hardcoded build path in the bundled SDK (`createRequire` polyfill bug)
1250- Fixed Mantle endpoint authentication failing with missing `x-api-key` header
1251
1252## 2.1.129
1253
1254- Added `--plugin-url <url>` flag to fetch a plugin `.zip` archive from a URL for the current session
1255- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs `eat`)
1256- 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
1257- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
1258- 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)
1259- 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
1260- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
1261- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description
1262- The `claude_code.pull_request.count` OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands
1263- Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging
1264- Fixed API errors with unrecognized 400 status codes showing raw JSON instead of the underlying error message
1265- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the terminal tab title after a conversation
1266- Fixed session title chip from `/rename` disappearing while a permission or other dialog is active
1267- Fixed agent panel below the prompt being hidden when subagents are running (regression in 2.1.122)
1268- Fixed external-editor handoff (Ctrl+G) blanking the conversation history above the prompt
1269- Fixed `/context` dumping its rendered ASCII visualization grid into the conversation, wasting ~1.6k tokens per call
1270- Fixed `/agents` Library list arrow-key navigation: the highlighted agent now stays visible when the list exceeds the viewport
1271- Fixed `/branch` success message not including the new branch's session id for `/resume`
1272- Fixed bold headers with keycap/ZWJ/skin-tone emoji losing trailing characters in fullscreen mode
1273- Fixed server-managed settings policy not applying for enterprise/team users whose stored OAuth credentials lacked the `user:inference` scope
1274- Fixed OAuth refresh race after wake-from-sleep that could log out all running sessions
1275- Fixed 1-hour prompt cache TTL being silently downgraded to 5 minutes
1276- Fixed cache-miss warning appearing spuriously after `/clear` or compaction when changing `/effort` or `/model`
1277- Fixed `Bash(mkdir *)`, `Bash(touch *)` and similar allow rules not being honored for in-project paths
1278- Fixed `deniedMcpServers` patterns with a `*://` scheme wildcard not matching mixed-case hostnames
1279- Fixed harmless WebSocket warning being logged as an error in `--debug` during voice mode
1280- [VSCode] Fixed `/clear` not clearing the conversation context and displayed transcript
1281
1282## 2.1.128
1283
1284- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
1285- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
1286- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
1287- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
1288- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
1289- 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
1290- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
1291- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
1292- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
1293- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
1294- Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, `/compact`, or run with `--debug`)
1295- Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
1296- Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every `/exit` in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification
1297- Fixed Remote Control showing an empty "Opening your options…" message on rate limit instead of actionable upsell options
1298- Fixed drag-and-drop image upload hanging on "Pasting text…" when the image read fails
1299- Fixed crash loop when piping very large input (>10 MB) to `claude -p` via stdin
1300- Fixed long URLs not being individually clickable on every wrapped row in fullscreen mode
1301- Fixed `/plugin` Components panel showing "Marketplace 'inline' not found" for plugins loaded via `--plugin-dir`
1302- Fixed MCP tool results dropping images when the server returns both structured content and content blocks
1303- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
1304- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
1305- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
1306- 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
1307- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
1308- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
1309- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
1310- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
1311- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
1312- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
1313- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
1314- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
1315- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
1316- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
1317- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
1318- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
1319- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
1320- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
1321
1322## 2.1.126
1323
1324- The `/model` picker now lists models from your gateway's `/v1/models` endpoint when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway
1325- - Added `claude project purge [path]` to delete all Claude Code state for a project (transcripts, tasks, file history, config entry) — supports `--dry-run`, `-y/--yes`, `-i/--interactive`, and `--all`
1326- `--dangerously-skip-permissions` now bypasses prompts for writes to `.claude/`, `.git/`, `.vscode/`, shell config files, and other previously-protected paths (catastrophic removal commands still prompt as a safety net)
1327- `claude auth login` now accepts the OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers)
1328- `claude_code.skill_activated` OpenTelemetry event now fires for user-typed slash commands and carries a new `invocation_trigger` attribute (`"user-slash"`, `"claude-proactive"`, or `"nested-skill"`)
1329- Auto mode: the spinner now turns red when a permission check stalls, instead of looking like the tool is running
1330- Host-managed deployments (`CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST`) no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
1331- Windows: PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or `.NET global tool` is now detected
1332- Windows: when the PowerShell tool is enabled, Claude now treats PowerShell as the primary shell instead of defaulting to Bash
1333- Read tool: removed the per-file malware-assessment reminder that could cause spurious refusals and "this is not malware" commentary on legacy models
1334- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
1335- 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
1336- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin
1337- Fixed OAuth login failing with timeout on slow or proxied connections, in IPv6-only devcontainers, and when the browser callback can't reach localhost
1338- Fixed a rare race where a concurrent credential write could clear a valid OAuth refresh token
1339- Fixed API retry countdown sticking at "0s" instead of counting down between attempts
1340- Fixed "Stream idle timeout" error after waking Mac from sleep mid-request
1341- Fixed background and remote sessions falsely aborting with "Stream idle timeout" during long model thinking pauses
1342- Fixed a hang where the assistant could finish thinking but show no output after a run of empty turns
1343- Fixed overly fast trackpad scrolling in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 integrated terminals
1344- Fixed claude.ai MCP connectors being suppressed by manual servers stuck in needs-auth state
1345- Fixed Japanese/Korean/Chinese text rendering as garbled characters on Windows in no-flicker mode
1346- Fixed `Ctrl+L` clearing the prompt input — it now only forces a screen redraw, matching readline behavior
1347- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn

1630- Fixed `/insights` crashing with `EBUSY` on Windows
1631- Fixed exit confirmation dialog mislabeling one-shot scheduled tasks as recurring — now shows a countdown
1632- Fixed slash/@ completion menu not sitting flush against the prompt border in fullscreen mode
1633- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` `output_config.effort` causing 400 errors on subagent calls to models that don't support effort and on Vertex AI
1634- Fixed prompt cursor disappearing when `NO_COLOR` is set
1635- Fixed `ToolSearch` ranking so pasted MCP tool names surface the actual tool instead of description-matching siblings
1636- Fixed compacting a resumed long-context session failing with "Extra usage is required for long context requests"

1651- Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7
1652- 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`
1653- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
1654- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`

1656- 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
1657- Auto mode no longer requires `--enable-auto-mode`
1658- 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)
1659- Read-only bash commands with glob patterns (e.g. `ls *.ts`) and commands starting with `cd <project-dir> &&` no longer trigger a permission prompt
1660- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
1661- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
1662- 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
1663- `/skills` menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` to toggle
1664- `Ctrl+U` now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press `Ctrl+Y` to restore
1665- `Ctrl+L` now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing the prompt input
1666- Transcript view footer now shows `[` (dump to scrollback) and `v` (open in editor) shortcuts
1667- The "+N lines" marker for truncated long pastes is now a full-width rule for easier scanning
1668- Headless `--output-format stream-json` now includes `plugin_errors` on the init event when plugins are demoted for unsatisfied dependencies

1670- Suppressed spurious decompression, network, and transient error messages that could appear in the TUI during normal operation
1671- Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries — it traded long waits for more outright failures during API overload
1672- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
1673- 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
1674- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
1675- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
1676- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
1677- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
1678- 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
1679- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command
1680- Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers)

1682- Fixed bare URLs in bash/PowerShell/MCP tool output being unclickable when the terminal wraps them across lines
1683- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
1684- 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
1685

1687
1688- Added `/tui` command and `tui` setting — run `/tui fullscreen` to switch to flicker-free rendering in the same conversation
1689- Added push notification tool — Claude can send mobile push notifications when Remote Control and "Push when Claude decides" config are enabled

1712- Hardened "Open in editor" actions against command injection from untrusted filenames
1713- Fixed `PermissionRequest` hooks returning `updatedInput` not being re-checked against `permissions.deny` rules; `setMode:'bypassPermissions'` updates now respect `disableBypassPermissionsMode`
1714- Fixed `PreToolUse` hook `additionalContext` being dropped when the tool call fails
1715- Fixed stdio MCP servers that print stray non-JSON lines to stdout being disconnected on the first stray line (regression in 2.1.105)

1731- `/undo` is now an alias for `/rewind`
1732- Improved `/model` to warn before switching models mid-conversation, since the next response re-reads the full history uncached
1733- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
1734- 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
1735- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand
1736- Added "verbose" indicator when viewing the detailed transcript (`Ctrl+O`)
1737- Added a warning at startup when prompt caching is disabled via `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING*` environment variables

1743- Fixed session titles showing placeholder example text when the first message is a short greeting
1744- Fixed terminal escape codes appearing as garbage text in the prompt input after `--teleport`
1745- Fixed `/feedback` retry: pressing Enter to resubmit after a failure now works without first editing the description
1746- Fixed `--teleport` and `--resume <id>` precondition errors (e.g. dirty git tree, session not found) exiting silently instead of showing the error message
1747- Fixed Remote Control session titles set in the web UI being overwritten by auto-generated titles after the third message
1748- Fixed `--resume` truncating sessions when the transcript contained a self-referencing message

1764- Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
1765- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
1766- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
1767- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
1768- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
1769- 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
1770- Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely
1771- Improved MCP large-output truncation prompt to give format-specific recipes (e.g. `jq` for JSON, computed Read chunk sizes for text)

1798
1799- Added `/team-onboarding` command to generate a teammate ramp-up guide from your local Claude Code usage
1800- 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)
1801- `/ultraplan` and other remote-session features now auto-create a default cloud environment instead of requiring web setup first
1802- Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message
1803- Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
1804- 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
1805- Improved rate-limit retry messages to show which limit was hit and when it resets instead of an opaque seconds countdown
1806- Improved refusal error messages to include the API-provided explanation when available
1807- Improved `claude -p --resume <name>` to accept session titles set via `/rename` or `--name`
1808- Improved settings resilience: an unrecognized hook event name in `settings.json` no longer causes the entire file to be ignored
1809- Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set
1810- Improved `/plugin` and `claude plugin update` to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version

1814- Fixed a command injection vulnerability in the POSIX `which` fallback used by LSP binary detection
1815- Fixed a memory leak where long sessions retained dozens of historical copies of the message list in the virtual scroller
1816- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` losing conversation context on large sessions when the loader anchored on a dead-end branch instead of the live conversation

1818- Fixed a crash on `--resume` when a persisted Edit/Write tool result was missing its `file_path`
1819- Fixed a hardcoded 5-minute request timeout that aborted slow backends (local LLMs, extended thinking, slow gateways) regardless of `API_TIMEOUT_MS`
1820- Fixed `permissions.deny` rules not overriding a PreToolUse hook's `permissionDecision: "ask"` — previously the hook could downgrade a deny into a prompt
1821- Fixed `--setting-sources` without `user` causing background cleanup to ignore `cleanupPeriodDays` and delete conversation history older than 30 days

1828- Fixed `RemoteTrigger` tool's `run` action sending an empty body and being rejected by the server
1829- Fixed several `/resume` picker issues: narrow default view hiding sessions from other projects, unreachable preview on Windows Terminal, incorrect cwd in worktrees, session-not-found errors not surfacing in stderr, terminal title not being set, and resume hint overlapping the prompt input
1830- Fixed Grep tool ENOENT when the embedded ripgrep binary path becomes stale (VS Code extension auto-update, macOS App Translocation); now falls back to system `rg` and self-heals mid-session
1831- Fixed `/btw` writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use
1832- Fixed `/context` Free space and Messages breakdown disagreeing with the header percentage
1833- Fixed several plugin issues: slash commands resolving to the wrong plugin with duplicate `name:` frontmatter, `/plugin update` failing with `ENAMETOOLONG`, Discover showing already-installed plugins, directory-source plugins loading from a stale version cache, and skills not honoring `context: fork` and `agent` frontmatter fields
1834- Fixed the `/mcp` menu offering OAuth-specific actions for MCP servers configured with `headersHelper`; Reconnect is now offered instead to re-invoke the helper script
1835- Fixed `ctrl+]`, `ctrl+\`, and `ctrl+^` keybindings not firing in terminals that send raw C0 control bytes (Terminal.app, default iTerm2, xterm)
1836- Fixed `/login` OAuth URL rendering with padding that prevented clean mouse selection
1837- Fixed rendering issues: flicker in non-fullscreen mode when content above the visible area changed, terminal scrollback being wiped during long sessions in non-fullscreen mode, and mouse-scroll escape sequences occasionally leaking into the prompt as text
1838- Fixed crash when `settings.json` env values are numbers instead of strings
1839- Fixed in-app settings writes (e.g. `/add-dir --remember`, `/config`) not refreshing the in-memory snapshot, preventing removed directories from being revoked mid-session

1841- Fixed `claude --continue -p` not correctly continuing sessions created by `-p` or the SDK
1842- Fixed several Remote Control issues: worktrees removed on session crash, connection failures not persisting in the transcript, spurious "Disconnected" indicator in brief mode for local sessions, and `/remote-control` failing over SSH when only `CLAUDE_CODE_ORGANIZATION_UUID` is set
1843- Fixed `/insights` sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
1844- [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed
1845
1846## 2.1.98

1848- Added interactive Google Vertex AI setup wizard accessible from the login screen when selecting "3rd-party platform", guiding you through GCP authentication, project and region configuration, credential verification, and model pinning
1849- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PERFORCE_MODE` env var: when set, Edit/Write/NotebookEdit fail on read-only files with a `p4 edit` hint instead of silently overwriting them
1850- Added Monitor tool for streaming events from background scripts
1851- Added subprocess sandboxing with PID namespace isolation on Linux when `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB` is set, and `CLAUDE_CODE_SCRIPT_CAPS` env var to limit per-session script invocations

1853- Added `workspace.git_worktree` to the status line JSON input, set whenever the current directory is inside a linked git worktree
1854- Added W3C `TRACEPARENT` env var to Bash tool subprocesses when OTEL tracing is enabled, so child-process spans correctly parent to Claude Code's trace tree
1855- LSP: Claude Code now identifies itself to language servers via `clientInfo` in the initialize request
1856- Fixed a Bash tool permission bypass where a backslash-escaped flag could be auto-allowed as read-only and lead to arbitrary code execution
1857- Fixed compound Bash commands bypassing forced permission prompts for safety checks and explicit ask rules in auto and bypass-permissions modes
1858- Fixed read-only commands with env-var prefixes not prompting unless the var is known-safe (`LANG`, `TZ`, `NO_COLOR`, etc.)
1859- Fixed redirects to `/dev/tcp/...` or `/dev/udp/...` not prompting instead of auto-allowing
1860- Fixed stalled streaming responses timing out instead of falling back to non-streaming mode
1861- Fixed 429 retries burning all attempts in ~13s when the server returns a small `Retry-After` — exponential backoff now applies as a minimum

1868- Fixed removing a directory from `additionalDirectories` revoking access to the same directory passed via `--add-dir`
1869- Fixed `Bash(cmd:*)` and `Bash(git commit *)` wildcard permission rules failing to match commands with extra spaces or tabs

1872- Fixed permission rules with names matching JavaScript prototype properties (e.g. `toString`) causing `settings.json` to be silently ignored
1873- Fixed agent team members not inheriting the leader's permission mode when using `--dangerously-skip-permissions`
1874- Fixed a crash in fullscreen mode when hovering over MCP tool results
1875- Fixed copying wrapped URLs in fullscreen mode inserting spaces at line breaks
1876- Fixed file-edit diffs disappearing from the UI on `--resume` when the edited file was larger than 10KB
1877- Fixed several `/resume` picker issues: `--resume <name>` opening uneditable, filter reload wiping search state, empty list swallowing arrow keys, cross-project staleness, and transient task-status text replacing conversation summaries
1878- Fixed `/export` not honoring absolute paths and `~`, and silently rewriting user-supplied extensions to `.txt`
1879- Fixed `/effort max` being denied for unknown or future model IDs
1880- Fixed slash command picker breaking when a plugin's frontmatter `name` is a YAML boolean keyword

2185- Token counts ≥1M now display as "1.5m" instead of "1512.6k"
2186- Global system-prompt caching now works when `ToolSearch` is enabled, including for users with MCP tools configured
2187- Fixed voice push-to-talk: holding the voice key no longer leaks characters into the text input, and transcripts now insert at the correct position
2188- Fixed up/down arrow keys being unresponsive when a footer item is focused
2189- Fixed `Ctrl+U` (kill-to-line-start) being a no-op at line boundaries in multiline input, so repeated `Ctrl+U` now clears across lines

2196- Fixed MCP tool/resource cache leak on server reconnect
2197- Fixed a startup performance issue where partial clone repositories (Scalar/GVFS) triggered mass blob downloads
2198- Fixed native terminal cursor not tracking the text input caret, so IME composition (CJK input) now renders inline and screen readers can follow the input position
2199- Fixed spurious "Not logged in" errors on macOS caused by transient keychain read failures
2200- Fixed cold-start race where core tools could be deferred without their bypass active, causing Edit/Write to fail with InputValidationError on typed parameters
2201- Improved detection for dangerous removals of Windows drive roots (`C:\`, `C:\Windows`, etc.)
2202- Improved interactive startup by ~30ms by running `setup()` in parallel with slash command and agent loading
2203- Improved startup for `claude "prompt"` with MCP servers — the REPL now renders immediately instead of blocking until all servers connect
2204- Improved Remote Control to show a specific reason when blocked instead of a generic "not yet enabled" message
2205- Improved p90 prompt cache rate
2206- Reduced scroll-to-top resets in long sessions by making the message window immune to compaction and grouping changes
2207- Reduced terminal flickering when animated tool progress scrolls above the viewport
2208- Changed issue/PR references to only become clickable links when written as `owner/repo#123` — bare `#123` is no longer auto-linked

2216- Added `CwdChanged` and `FileChanged` hook events for reactive environment management (e.g., direnv)
2217- Added `sandbox.failIfUnavailable` setting to exit with an error when sandbox is enabled but cannot start, instead of running unsandboxed
2218- Added `disableDeepLinkRegistration` setting to prevent `claude-cli://` protocol handler registration
2219- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB=1` to strip Anthropic and cloud provider credentials from subprocess environments (Bash tool, hooks, MCP stdio servers)
2220- Added transcript search — press `/` in transcript mode (`Ctrl+O`) to search, `n`/`N` to step through matches
2221- Added `Ctrl+X Ctrl+E` as an alias for opening the external editor (readline-native binding; `Ctrl+G` still works)
2222- Pasted images now insert an `[Image #N]` chip at the cursor so you can reference them positionally in your prompt

2262- Reduced scrollback resets in long sessions from once per turn to once per ~50 messages
2263- Faster `claude -p` startup with unauthenticated HTTP/SSE MCP servers (~600ms saved)
2264- Bash ghost-text suggestions now include just-submitted commands immediately
2265- Increased non-streaming fallback token cap (21k → 64k) and timeout (120s → 300s local) so fallback requests are less likely to be truncated
2266- Interrupting a prompt before any response now automatically restores your input so you can edit and resubmit
2267- `/status` now works while Claude is responding, instead of being queued until the turn finishes
2268- Plugin MCP servers that duplicate an org-managed connector are now suppressed instead of running a second connection
2269- Linux: respect `XDG_DATA_HOME` when registering the `claude-cli://` protocol handler
2270- Changed "stop all background agents" keybinding from `Ctrl+F` to `Ctrl+X Ctrl+K` to stop shadowing readline forward-char
2271- Deprecated `TaskOutput` tool in favor of using `Read` on the background task's output file path
2272- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONSTREAMING_FALLBACK` env var to disable the non-streaming fallback when streaming fails

2274- Claude can now reference the on-disk path of clipboard-pasted images for file operations
2275- `Ctrl+L` now clears the screen and forces a full redraw — use this to recover when Cmd+K leaves the UI partially blank. Use `Ctrl+U` or double-Esc to clear prompt input.
2276- `--bare -p` (SDK pattern) is ~14% faster to the API request
2277- Memory: `MEMORY.md` index now truncates at 25KB as well as 200 lines

2291
2292## 2.1.81
2293
2294- Added `--bare` flag for scripted `-p` calls — skips hooks, LSP, plugin sync, and skill directory walks; requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or an `apiKeyHelper` via `--settings` (OAuth and keychain auth disabled); auto-memory fully disabled

2371- Fixed `cc log` and `--resume` silently truncating conversation history on large sessions (>5 MB) that used subagents
2372- Fixed infinite loop when API errors triggered stop hooks that re-fed blocking errors to the model
2373- Fixed `deny: ["mcp__servername"]` permission rules not removing MCP server tools before sending to the model, allowing it to see and attempt blocked tools

2430- Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
2431- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
2432- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
2433- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
2434- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
2435- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)
2436- [VSCode] Improved plan preview tab titles to use the plan's heading instead of "Claude's Plan"

2458- Fixed MCP reconnect spinner persisting after successful reconnection
2459- Fixed LSP plugins not registering servers when the LSP Manager initialized before marketplaces were reconciled
2460- Fixed clipboard copying in tmux over SSH — now attempts both direct terminal write and tmux clipboard integration
2461- Fixed `/export` showing only the filename instead of the full file path in the success message
2462- Fixed transcript not auto-scrolling to new messages after selecting text
2463- Fixed Escape key not working to exit the login method selection screen
2464- Fixed several Remote Control issues: sessions silently dying when the server reaps an idle environment, rapid messages being queued one-at-a-time instead of batched, and stale work items causing redelivery after JWT refresh
2465- Fixed bridge sessions failing to recover after extended WebSocket disconnects
2466- Fixed slash commands not found when typing the exact name of a soft-hidden command
2467- Improved `--worktree` startup performance by reading git refs directly and skipping redundant `git fetch` when the remote branch is already available locally
2468- Improved background agent behavior — killing a background agent now preserves its partial results in the conversation context
2469- Improved model fallback notifications — now always visible instead of hidden behind verbose mode, with human-friendly model names
2470- Improved blockquote readability on dark terminal themes — text is now italic with a left bar instead of dim
2471- Improved stale worktree cleanup — worktrees left behind after an interrupted parallel run are now automatically cleaned up
2472- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
2473- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input
2474- Updated `--plugin-dir` to only accept one path to support subcommands — use repeated `--plugin-dir` for multiple directories
2475- [VSCode] Fixed gitignore patterns containing commas silently excluding entire filetypes from the @-mention file picker
2476
2477## 2.1.75
2478

2487- Fixed Bash tool mangling `!` in piped commands (e.g., `jq 'select(.x != .y)'` now works correctly)
2488- Fixed managed-disabled plugins showing up in the `/plugin` Installed tab — plugins force-disabled by your organization are now hidden
2489- Fixed token estimation over-counting for thinking and `tool_use` blocks, preventing premature context compaction
2490- Fixed corrupted marketplace config path handling
2491- Fixed `/resume` losing session names after resuming a forked or continued session
2492- Fixed Esc not closing the `/status` dialog after visiting the Config tab
2493- Fixed input handling when accepting or rejecting a plan

2496- Suppressed async hook completion messages by default (visible with `--verbose` or transcript mode)
2497- Breaking change: Removed deprecated Windows managed settings fallback at `C:\ProgramData\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json` — use `C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json`
2498
2499## 2.1.74
2500

2502- Added `autoMemoryDirectory` setting to configure a custom directory for auto-memory storage
2503- Fixed memory leak where streaming API response buffers were not released when the generator was terminated early, causing unbounded RSS growth on the Node.js/npm code path
2504- Fixed managed policy `ask` rules being bypassed by user `allow` rules or skill `allowed-tools`
2505- 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`
2506- Fixed MCP OAuth authentication hanging when the callback port is already in use
2507- 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)
2508- 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
2509- Fixed `SessionEnd` hooks being killed after 1.5 s on exit regardless of `hook.timeout` — now configurable via `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS`
2510- Fixed `/plugin install` failing inside the REPL for marketplace plugins with local sources
2511- Fixed marketplace update not syncing git submodules — plugin sources in submodules no longer break after update

2513- Fixed Hebrew, Arabic, and other RTL text not rendering correctly in Windows Terminal, conhost, and VS Code integrated terminal
2514- Fixed LSP servers not working on Windows due to malformed file URIs
2515- Changed `--plugin-dir` so local dev copies now override installed marketplace plugins with the same name (unless that plugin is force-enabled by managed settings)
2516- [VSCode] Fixed delete button not working for Untitled sessions
2517- [VSCode] Improved scroll wheel responsiveness in the integrated terminal with terminal-aware acceleration
2518
2519## 2.1.73
2520
2521- Added `modelOverrides` setting to map model picker entries to custom provider model IDs (e.g. Bedrock inference profile ARNs)
2522- Added actionable guidance when OAuth login or connectivity checks fail due to SSL certificate errors (corporate proxies, `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`)
2523- Fixed freezes and 100% CPU loops triggered by permission prompts for complex bash commands
2524- 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)
2525- Fixed Bash tool output being lost when running multiple Claude Code sessions in the same project directory
2526- Fixed subagents with `model: opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` being silently downgraded to older model versions on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry

2539- Improved IDE detection speed at startup
2540- Improved clipboard image pasting performance on macOS
2541- Improved `/effort` to work while Claude is responding, matching `/model` behavior
2542- Improved voice mode to automatically retry transient connection failures during rapid push-to-talk re-press
2543- Improved the Remote Control spawn mode selection prompt with better context
2544- Changed default Opus model on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry to Opus 4.6 (was Opus 4.1)
2545- Deprecated `/output-style` command — use `/config` instead. Output style is now fixed at session start for better prompt caching
2546- VSCode: Fixed HTTP 400 errors for users behind proxies or on Bedrock/Vertex with Claude 4.5 models
2547
2548## 2.1.72
2549
2550- Fixed tool search to activate even with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` as long as `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` is set.
2551- Added `w` key in `/copy` to write the focused selection directly to a file, bypassing the clipboard (useful over SSH)
2552- Added optional description argument to `/plan` (e.g., `/plan fix the auth bug`) that enters plan mode and immediately starts
2553- Added `ExitWorktree` tool to leave an `EnterWorktree` session
2554- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` environment variable to immediately stop scheduled cron jobs mid-session
2555- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
2556- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
2557- 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
2558- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
2559- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
2560- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)
2561- Improved bash command parsing by switching to a native module — faster initialization and no memory leak
2562- Reduced bundle size by ~510 KB
2563- Changed CLAUDE.md HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) to be hidden from Claude when auto-injected. Comments remain visible when read with the Read tool
2564- Fixed slow exits when background tasks or hooks were slow to respond
2565- Fixed agent task progress stuck on "Initializing…"
2566- Fixed skill hooks firing twice per event when a hooks-enabled skill is invoked by the model
2567- 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
2568- Fixed `--continue` not resuming from the most recent point after `--compact`
2569- Fixed bash security parsing edge cases
2570- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
2571- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
2572- 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
2573- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions
2574- Fixed `--effort` CLI flag being reset by unrelated settings writes on startup
2575- Fixed backgrounded Ctrl+B queries losing their transcript or corrupting the new conversation after `/clear`
2576- Fixed `/clear` killing background agent/bash tasks — only foreground tasks are now cleared
2577- Fixed worktree isolation issues: Task tool resume not restoring cwd, and background task notifications missing `worktreePath` and `worktreeBranch`
2578- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
2579- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
2580- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
2581- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
2582- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
2583- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query
2584- Fixed double Ctrl+C not exiting when background agents or tasks are running
2585- Fixed team agents to inherit the leader's model
2586- Fixed "Always Allow" saving permission rules that never match again
2587- 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
2588- Fixed session crashes in Desktop/SDK when Read returned files containing U+2028/U+2029 characters
2589- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
2590- 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
2591- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
2592- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
2593- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs
2594- Fixed multi-line session titles when forking from a conversation whose first message contained newlines
2595- Fixed queued messages not showing attached images, and images being lost when pressing ↑ to edit a queued message
2596- Fixed parallel tool calls where a failed Read/WebFetch/Glob would cancel its siblings — only Bash errors now cascade
2597- VSCode: Fixed scroll speed in integrated terminals not matching native terminals
2598- VSCode: Fixed Shift+Enter submitting input instead of inserting a newline for users with older keybindings
2599- VSCode: Added effort level indicator on the input border
2600- VSCode: Added `vscode://anthropic.claude-code/open` URI handler to open a new Claude Code tab programmatically, with optional `prompt` and `session` query parameters
2601
2602## 2.1.71
2603
2604- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
2605- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
2606- 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
2607- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
2608- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
2609- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
2610- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
2611- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other
2612- Fixed the Read tool putting oversized images into context when image processing failed, breaking subsequent turns in long image-heavy sessions
2613- Fixed false-positive permission prompts for compound bash commands containing heredoc commit messages
2614- Fixed plugin installations being lost when running multiple Claude Code instances
2615- Fixed claude.ai connectors failing to reconnect after OAuth token refresh
2616- Fixed claude.ai MCP connector startup notifications appearing for every org-configured connector instead of only previously connected ones
2617- Fixed background agent completion notifications missing the output file path, which made it difficult for parent agents to recover agent results after context compaction
2618- Fixed duplicate output in Bash tool error messages when commands exit with non-zero status
2619- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
2620- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref
2621- Fixed `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo@ref` incorrectly parsing `@` — previously only `#` worked as a ref separator, causing undiagnosable errors with `strictKnownMarketplaces`
2622- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
2623- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
2624- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
2625- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
2626- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
2627- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
2628- 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
2629- 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.
2630- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
2631- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
2632
2633## 2.1.70
2634
2635- 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
2636- 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
2637- 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
2638- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
2639- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
2640- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`
2641- Fixed extra VS Code windows opening at startup on Windows when running from the VS Code integrated terminal
2642- Fixed voice mode failing on Windows native binary with "native audio module could not be loaded"
2643- Fixed push-to-talk not activating on session start when `voiceEnabled: true` was set in settings
2644- Fixed markdown links containing `#NNN` references incorrectly pointing to the current repository instead of the linked URL
2645- Fixed repeated "Model updated to Opus 4.6" notification when a project's `.claude/settings.json` has a legacy Opus model string pinned
2646- Fixed plugins showing as inaccurately installed in `/plugin`
2647- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
2648- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
2649- 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
2650- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
2651- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
2652- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
2653- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
2654- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
2655- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
2656- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
2657- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
2658- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
2659- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
2660- 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.
2661- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
2662- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
2663- [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
2664
2665## 2.1.69
2666
2667- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
2668- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
2669- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
2670- 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
2671- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
2672- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
2673- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
2674- 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`
2675- 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
2676- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
2677- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
2678- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
2679- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
2680- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
2681- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
2682- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
2683- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
2684- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
2685- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
2686- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
2687- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
2688- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
2689- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
2690- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
2691- 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.
2692- 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)
2693- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
2694- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
2695- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
2696- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
2697- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
2698- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
2699- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
2700- 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)
2701- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
2702- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
2703- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
2704- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
2705- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
2706- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
2707- Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
2708- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter
2709- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` being ignored during conversation compaction
2710- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
2711- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
2712- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
2713- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
2714- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
2715- 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
2716- 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
2717- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
2718- 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.
2719- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
2720- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
2721- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
2722- 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
2723- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
2724- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
2725- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
2726- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
2727- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
2728- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
2729- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
2730- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
2731- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
2732- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior

2738- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
2739- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
2740- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
2741- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
2742- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
2743- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
2744- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
2745- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
2746- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
2747- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
2748- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
2749- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
2750- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
2751- 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.
2752- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
2753- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
2754- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
2755- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
2756- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)

2758- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
2759- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
2760- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
2761- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
2762- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
2763- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
2764- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
2765- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
2766- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
2767- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
2768- [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
2769- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
2770
2771## 2.1.68
2772
2773- 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`
2774- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
2775- 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

2789- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
2790- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
2791- 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.

2801- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
2802- 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.
2803- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
2804- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
2805- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
2806- 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.
2807- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
2808- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
2809
2810## 2.1.62
2811

2837## 2.1.55
2838
2839- Fixed BashTool failing on Windows with EINVAL error
2840
2841## 2.1.53
2842
2843- Fixed a UI flicker where user input would briefly disappear after submission before the message rendered
2844- Fixed bulk agent kill (ctrl+f) to send a single aggregate notification instead of one per agent, and to properly clear the command queue
2845- Fixed graceful shutdown sometimes leaving stale sessions when using Remote Control by parallelizing teardown network calls
2846- Fixed `--worktree` sometimes being ignored on first launch

2856## 2.1.51
2857
2858- Added `claude remote-control` subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.
2859- Updated plugin marketplace default git timeout from 30s to 120s and added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS` to configure.
2860- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
2861- 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`.
2862- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
2863- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
2864- 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.
2865- 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.
2866- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
2867- 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.
2868- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files
2869
2870## 2.1.50
2871
2872- Added support for `startupTimeout` configuration for LSP servers
2873- Added `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
2874- 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.
2875- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
2876- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state
2877- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` to fully strip down skills, session memory, custom agents, and CLAUDE.md token counting
2878- Fixed `/mcp reconnect` freezing the CLI when given a server name that doesn't exist
2879- Fixed memory leak where completed task state objects were never removed from AppState
2880- Added support for `isolation: worktree` in agent definitions, allowing agents to declaratively run in isolated git worktrees.
2881- `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` mode now also disables MCP tools, attachments, hooks, and CLAUDE.md file loading for a fully minimal experience.

2908- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
2909- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
2910- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
2911- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
2912- 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.
2913- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes
2914- Fixed unbounded WASM memory growth during long sessions by periodically resetting the tree-sitter parser
2915- Fixed potential rendering issues caused by stale yoga layout references
2916- Improved performance in non-interactive mode (`-p`) by skipping unnecessary API calls during startup

2918- Fixed unbounded memory growth during long-running sessions caused by Yoga WASM linear memory never shrinking
2919- SDK model info now includes `supportsEffort`, `supportedEffortLevels`, and `supportsAdaptiveThinking` fields so consumers can discover model capabilities.
2920- Added `ConfigChange` hook event that fires when configuration files change during a session, enabling enterprise security auditing and optional blocking of settings changes.
2921- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
2922- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
2923- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call
2924- Fixed `disableAllHooks` setting to respect managed settings hierarchy — non-managed settings can no longer disable managed hooks set by policy (#26637)
2925- 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.
2926- 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
2927
2928## 2.1.47
2929
2930- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
2931- 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.
2932- 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.
2933- 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.
2934- 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)
2935- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use
2936- Improved startup performance by deferring SessionStart hook execution, reducing time-to-interactive by ~500ms.
2937- Fixed an issue where bash tool output was silently discarded on Windows when using MSYS2 or Cygwin shells.
2938- 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.
2939- Improved memory usage by trimming agent task message history after tasks complete
2940- Improved memory usage during long agent sessions by eliminating O(n²) message accumulation in progress updates
2941- Fixed the bash permission classifier to validate that returned match descriptions correspond to actual input rules, preventing hallucinated descriptions from incorrectly granting permissions
2942- Fixed user-defined agents only loading one file on NFS/FUSE filesystems that report zero inodes (anthropics/claude-code#26044)
2943- Fixed plugin agent skills silently failing to load when referenced by bare name instead of fully-qualified plugin name (anthropics/claude-code#25834)
2944- Search patterns in collapsed tool results are now displayed in quotes for clarity
2945- Windows: Fixed CWD tracking temp files never being cleaned up, causing them to accumulate indefinitely (anthropics/claude-code#17600)
2946- 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.
2947- 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.
2948- Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
2949- 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.
2950- 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.
2951- Fixed custom session titles set via `/rename` being lost after resuming a conversation (anthropics/claude-code#23610)
2952- Fixed collapsed read/search hint text overflowing on narrow terminals by truncating from the start.
2953- 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.
2954- 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)
2955- Fixed MCP servers not appearing in the MCP Management Dialog after deferred loading
2956- Fixed session name persisting in status bar after `/clear` command (anthropics/claude-code#26082)
2957- 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)
2958- Fixed /resume silently dropping sessions when the first message exceeds 16KB or uses array-format content (anthropics/claude-code#25721)
2959- Added `chat:newline` keybinding action for configurable multi-line input (anthropics/claude-code#26075)
2960- Added `added_dirs` to the statusline JSON `workspace` section, exposing directories added via `/add-dir` to external scripts (anthropics/claude-code#26096)

2965- Fixed background agent results returning raw transcript data instead of the agent's final answer (anthropics/claude-code#26012)
2966- Fixed Warp terminal incorrectly prompting for Shift+Enter setup when it supports it natively (anthropics/claude-code#25957)
2967- Fixed CJK wide characters causing misaligned timestamps and layout elements in the TUI (anthropics/claude-code#26084)
2968- Fixed custom agent `model` field in `.claude/agents/*.md` being ignored when spawning team teammates (anthropics/claude-code#26064)
2969- Fixed plan mode being lost after context compaction, causing the model to switch from planning to implementation mode (anthropics/claude-code#26061)
2970- Fixed `alwaysThinkingEnabled: true` in settings.json not enabling thinking mode on Bedrock and Vertex providers (anthropics/claude-code#26074)
2971- Fixed `tool_decision` OTel telemetry event not being emitted in headless/SDK mode (anthropics/claude-code#26059)
2972- Fixed session name being lost after context compaction — renamed sessions now preserve their custom title through compaction (anthropics/claude-code#26121)
2973- Increased initial session count in resume picker from 10 to 50 for faster session discovery (anthropics/claude-code#26123)

2977- Fixed React crash (error #31) when a skill's `argument-hint` in SKILL.md frontmatter uses YAML sequence syntax (e.g., `[topic: foo | bar]`) — the value is now properly coerced to a string (anthropics/claude-code#25826)
2978- Fixed crash when using `/fork` on sessions that used web search — null entries in search results from transcript deserialization are now handled gracefully (anthropics/claude-code#25811)
2979- Fixed read-only git commands triggering FSEvents file watcher loops on macOS by adding --no-optional-locks flag (anthropics/claude-code#25750)
2980- Fixed custom agents and skills not being discovered when running from a git worktree — project-level `.claude/agents/` and `.claude/skills/` from the main repository are now included (anthropics/claude-code#25816)
2981- Fixed non-interactive subcommands like `claude doctor` and `claude plugin validate` being blocked inside nested Claude sessions (anthropics/claude-code#25803)
2982- Windows: Fixed the same CLAUDE.md file being loaded twice when drive letter casing differs between paths (anthropics/claude-code#25756)
2983- Fixed inline code spans in markdown being incorrectly parsed as bash commands (anthropics/claude-code#25792)

2988- Moved config backup files from home directory root to `~/.claude/backups/` to reduce home directory clutter (anthropics/claude-code#26130)
2989- Fixed sessions with large first prompts (>16KB) disappearing from the /resume list (anthropics/claude-code#26140)
2990- Fixed shell functions with double-underscore prefixes (e.g., `__git_ps1`) not being preserved across shell sessions (anthropics/claude-code#25824)
2991- Fixed spinner showing "0 tokens" counter before any tokens have been received (anthropics/claude-code#26105)
2992- VSCode: Fixed conversation messages appearing dimmed while the AskUserQuestion dialog is open (anthropics/claude-code#26078)
2993- Fixed background tasks failing in git worktrees due to remote URL resolution reading from worktree-specific gitdir instead of the main repository config (anthropics/claude-code#26065)
2994- Fixed Right Alt key leaving visible `[25~` escape sequence residue in the input field on Windows/Git Bash terminals (anthropics/claude-code#25943)
