3## 2.1.228
4
5- Fixed interactive sessions that could stop redrawing entirely, while the process kept running, after a rare internal layout error
6- Fixed `git` / Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code is launched from a parent folder of the git installation
7- Fixed `/tui` reverting the session to an earlier model when `/model` had been changed since the last response
8- Fixed cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox in the first session after install or upgrade
9- Fixed Remote Control `/resume` while connected leaking the resumed conversation's title or history into the connected session
10- Fixed `claude self-hosted-runner` sessions failing on every fresh runner when the `checkout` hook fails for a repository the session doesn't push to; that repository is now skipped with a warning
11- Fixed self-hosted runners ending sessions in the gap between a background task finishing and the follow-up turn starting
12- Fixed session cleanup deleting contents inside a project's memory folder
13- Fixed background plugin-cache cleanup deleting a plugin's cache when its only version is a symlinked development checkout
14- Fixed a settings-merge issue where a marketplace entry redefined in a higher-precedence settings tier could inherit another tier's custom headers; marketplace entries now merge as whole entries
15- Fixed the deferred-tools reminder occasionally being sent to the model twice after a skill invocation
16- Hardened skills synced from claude.ai: they no longer shadow local commands or MCP prompts, their descriptions are sanitized and labeled, and on your machine their bodies don't run `!` commands or expand `@` files
17- Improved cross-session messages: the sender and body now display inline instead of a collapsed line, and messages to Remote Control sessions on other machines show your Remote Control session name as the sender
18- Improved Vertex AI credential handling: expired or missing Google Cloud credentials now fail within seconds instead of retrying for minutes
19- Improved compaction progress: the retry countdown and stall hint now appear during compaction instead of only a progress bar
20- Updated terminal title busy-spinner glyphs to reduce tab-bar jitter on some terminals
21- Changed the Write tool so newer models can overwrite an existing file they haven't read this session, matching the Edit tool's rules; older models still require the read first
22- Removed the outdated note about auto mode sessions costing slightly more from the first-use notice for Pro, Max, and Team plans
23
24## 2.1.227
25
26- Fixed feature flags being evaluated without the user's subscription tier when a session started with an expired login token, which could wrongly prompt Max plan users to enable usage credits for Fable
27- Fixed every Bash command failing under `claude-code-action` with `allowed_non_write_users` on GitHub-hosted runners
28- Fixed `/tui` bringing back a conversation that had been rewound to before its first message
29- Improved slash-command menu: blue now marks only the selected row, matched characters are bolded instead of recolored, and emoji or accented names keep their glyphs
30- Improved performance: fewer event-loop stalls on file-not-found suggestions and at-mention size checks
31
32## 2.1.226
33
34- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
35
36## 2.1.225
37
38- Added gateway spend-limit support to Claude Code's usage warning; the limit-reached message now names the cap, its reset time, and the operator's message (requires the gateway on 2.1.225)
39- Added a workspace trust prompt to `claude agents` for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of `claude`
40- Fixed a transient 401 replacing a long-lived `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` with a stored login's short-lived token, breaking headless sessions until restart
41- Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
42- Fixed auto mode counting a safety-filter refusal of its own permission check toward the consecutive-block limit; the action is still denied, but the model is now told to move on rather than retry
43- Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
44- Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
45- Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
46- Fixed `claude self-hosted-runner` registering and then failing every session when `--base-dir` cannot be created or written; it now exits at startup with a clear error
47- Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
48- Improved Remote Control: photos attached from the Claude app are now shown to Claude directly instead of being read from disk with a separate tool call
49- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view folding away the latest to-do list, a pending question's context, and settled answers; thinking-only folds show "Thought for Ns" and re-collapse when their turn completes
50- SendMessage can now start a conversation with your Remote Control sessions on other machines by name (`ListAgents` shows them as `name [ref]`), instead of only replying after they message you first
51- SendMessage: a Remote Control recipient you already confirmed is never swapped for a same-named session on this machine when its own list couldn't be checked
52
53## 2.1.224
54
55- Added self-hosted environments: `claude self-hosted-runner` turns your own machines or containers into a place Claude Code web, mobile, and desktop sessions can run, on Team and Enterprise plans
56- Added `archive` plugin source: install plugins from a zip over HTTPS without git or npm, with optional SHA-256 pinning
57- Added a cancel-and-confirm step when removing an unavailable paste changes a command's text
58- Added `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX` env var for Bedrock to prefer a specific cross-region inference profile over the `AWS_REGION`-derived one
59- Added `crossSessionInbound` and `dialogExpiry` settings: cross-session messages sent to a session running with bypassed permissions are held for your approval, and messages to other sessions auto-deliver
60- Added sandbox credential-masking options: `extract` and `onExtractNoMatch` for structured env values, `decode: "jwt"` with `maskClaims` for JWT-aware masking, and `awsPairs`/`sigv4` for AWS SigV4 re-signing; these need `network.tlsTerminate` and are honored only from user, managed, or `--settings` settings
61- Added cross-session `SendMessage`: Claude Code sessions can now message each other, on any of your machines, with `ListAgents` to discover them (macOS and Linux)
62- Fixed long (>200 char) project paths resolving to another project's session directory under a shared sanitized prefix; session list, rename, fork, delete and `/resume` no longer cross projects
63- Fixed `SendMessage` reporting "Message sent" when the write to a teammate's inbox had actually failed; failed deliveries are now reported as errors
64- Fixed sandbox filesystem deny entries written with a trailing slash (e.g. `denyRead: "~/.aws/"`) being silently bypassable on Linux and macOS
65- Fixed sandbox violation details never appearing in Bash tool results; Claude now sees which file or network access was denied and why
66- Fixed MCP tools that connect mid-turn being deferred for tool search without their names announced to the model
67- Fixed plugin install records being silently corrupted when the same plugin is installed in multiple projects
68- Fixed recalled or restored paste content occasionally attaching wrong data or silently losing text when the paste had aged out or placeholder numbers collided
69- Fixed copy-on-select on Wayland sometimes not reaching the clipboard; the two selection writes no longer race
70- Fixed the feedback survey's transcript share silently failing on long sessions; a failed share now shows an error instead of a success message
71- Fixed Remote Control auto-start intermittently failing with "Remote credentials fetch failed" on a cold start with a stale login token
72- Fixed Remote Control and SDK clients showing a blank "(no content)" message after `/clear` and other output-less commands
73- Fixed a Remote Control session recreated after its server session expired uploading prior local conversation history into the new session
74- Improved fullscreen mode to keep the full pre-compaction history in scrollback across repeated compactions, instead of only the most recent interval
75- Improved Remote Control: attached web and mobile clients now see compaction progress and the post-compaction boundary instead of a silent pause; `/clear` resets now propagate to attached clients
76- Improved Remote Control: connection failures now show a persistent failure indicator with details and a reconnect shortcut, instead of only an 8-second toast
77- Removed the 200-subagent-per-session spawn cap; long-running sessions no longer refuse new agents (concurrency and depth limits still apply)
78- Changed managed settings: the approval prompt no longer re-appears after re-login or org switching when the organization's settings are unchanged
79- Changed the feedback-survey transcript share: with your consent it now also uploads the last request's model settings — the system prompt (which includes your `CLAUDE.md` instructions), tool definitions, and model parameters. Secrets are redacted as before, and these fields are dropped first if the share is too large
80- Changed the Bash tool description to always note that command output is displayed to the model, not reliably to the user
81- Changed recalled paste placeholder numbers to renumber when accepted into the input
82- Changed Remote Control to archive the stale server session instead of leaving a dead one listed when a fresh session is minted after compaction or `/resume`
83- [VSCode] Fixed the extension showing Remote Control as connected after the connection failed
84- Fixed a session resume silently reconnecting Remote Control after the user turned it off (`--resume`, SDK hosts, and the VS Code extension)
85- [VSCode] Fixed sessions not honoring `remoteControlAtStartup` when explicitly enabled
86
87## 2.1.223
88
89- Added owner wildcard entries (`"owner/*"`) to the `strictKnownMarketplaces` and `blockedMarketplaces` managed settings for allowing or blocking all marketplace repos under a GitHub org
90- Added a warning when workflow agents, forked skills, slash commands, or resumed background agents' requested subagent model is restricted and the parent model runs instead
91- Added a `/teleport` hint in cloud sessions showing how to continue locally with `claude --teleport <session id>`
92- Fixed a Bash permission bypass where a crafted command could hide parts of itself from permission checks
93- Fixed permission prompts so commands padded with tabs or invisible Unicode can no longer hide part of the command from the approval dialog
94- Fixed workflow scripts being able to use dynamic `import()` to run code outside the workflow sandbox
95- Fixed a permission gap where an agent definition's `bypassPermissions` mode ignored the org bypass-permissions disable policy
96- Fixed resuming a session after a mid-session `/cd` coming back empty
97- Fixed gateway model discovery hiding Claude models registered under provider-prefixed IDs such as `vertex_ai/claude-*` or `bedrock/anthropic.claude-*`
98- Fixed `modelOverrides` keys that aren't Anthropic model IDs being treated as the session's canonical model ID; unknown keys are now ignored as documented
99- Fixed managed settings: server-delivered settings no longer disable the env block of a machine-local `managed-settings.json` or MDM profile; admin env now merges per key
100- Fixed sandboxed commands failing to start on Linux when `sandbox.filesystem.denyWrite` covers the working directory
101- Fixed forked background agents getting stuck "already resuming" for the rest of the session when rebuilding the fork's parent prompt failed during resume
102- Fixed a resumed session failing every turn, or leaving the interactive app on an unresponsive error screen, when its history held a malformed diagnostics attachment
103- Fixed a rare hang when parsing unusual `git push` output
104- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT` to hold every Claude model with a native 1M window to 200K via auto-compaction, not just a fixed list; a startup warning now appears when auto-compaction isn't holding the session to 200K
105- Changed auto-compact to keep sessions on unrecognized model IDs within the assumed context window instead of letting them grow past it; set `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_UNKNOWN_MODEL_WINDOW_ENFORCEMENT=1` to restore the previous behavior
106- Changed `/review` to be an alias of `/code-review`, which reviews the current diff or a PR (`/code-review <level> <pr#>`); use `/code-review ultra` for a deep cloud review
107- Changed `/code-review` with no effort level to reuse the level you typed last; type a level like `/code-review high` to change it
108
109## 2.1.222
110
111- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions and their subagents being able to run destructive git commands against the main checkout; isolation now applies to file edits and Bash in every session type
112- Fixed PreToolUse auto-allow hooks bypassing tool restrictions in background agent tasks (summaries, compaction, renames)
113- Fixed `/usage-credits` on Team and Enterprise showing "you've already sent a usage credit request" for members whose earlier request was dismissed, blocking them from sending a new one
114- Fixed the startup connectivity check hanging and then failing behind an HTTPS proxy; it now uses the same proxy-aware transport as API requests and times out with a clear message
115- Fixed "Connection closed mid-response" errors being reported on responses that had actually completed
116- Fixed `/usage` overattributing usage to MCP servers: a server's share now reflects only the requests that actually consumed its tool results, instead of every turn after any call to it
117- Fixed sessions not linking to pull requests created after the branch was pushed, including through the GitHub REST API
118- Fixed org-restricted `model: opus`-style subagent and teammate family aliases dropping to the parent model instead of stepping down to the newest org-allowed model in the family
119- Fixed stream idle timeout firing on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateways despite server keep-alive pings arriving on the wire
120- Fixed claude.ai connectors being falsely marked as needing authorization when the session token is invalid — they now show a `/login` hint instead
121- Fixed tool errors not being displayed for tools no longer available locally, for example after an MCP server is removed
122- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a long summary — it now truncates instead, so sends no longer fail on a character limit
123- Fixed the spinner's effort label in a subagent's transcript view showing the session's effort level instead of the subagent's own `effort:` setting
124- Fixed rare crashes when a file watcher hit a filesystem error or during file-watcher teardown
125- Fixed screen readers re-reading the whole input line on every backspace in `--ax-screen-reader` mode — end-of-line deletions now echo just the deleted characters
126- Fixed host model-selection keys not taking precedence over a stale on-disk `managed-settings.json` when `CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST` is set
127- Improved auto mode safety: messages sent to other agent sessions via `SendMessage` are now evaluated by the permission classifier before dispatch
128- Improved the refusal when Claude tries to invoke a skill with `disable-model-invocation`: Claude is now told to ask you to run the skill instead of replicating its workflow
129- Improved the `/diff` view, the Remote Control workspace diff, and file-edit diffs in Claude Code on the web sessions to use raw git blob content, ignoring workspace-configured diff drivers and textconv
130- Changed Remote Control auto-start so repo-local settings (`.claude/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.local.json`) can no longer turn it on (they can still turn it off); enable it at user scope via `/config`
131- Removed ultraplan feature
132
133## 2.1.221
134
135- [VSCode] Added Focus view: a chat-menu toggle that hides tool activity behind an expandable per-turn summary with a live running-tool indicator, toggled with `Ctrl+Alt+F` or the "Claude Code: Toggle Focus view" command
136- Added `mode: "mask"` for sandbox credential files on Linux and WSL — sandboxed commands read a sentinel copy (the whole file, or just the spans captured by an `extract` regex) while the sandbox proxy substitutes the real value on egress; on macOS file masking falls back to `deny`
137- Added warnings to `claude plugin validate` when a marketplace or plugin name would be rejected by Claude Desktop's managed marketplace sync
138- Added a `prompt-audit` subcommand to the `claude-api` skill for auditing prompts and tool descriptions for patterns written for older models
139- Fixed a Bash tool permission-check bypass where zsh could execute hidden commands in `[[ ]]` regex conditionals; affected commands now prompt for permission
140- Fixed PowerShell permission checks mishandling paths containing quote characters on Windows; such paths now prompt for approval
141- Fixed the thinking toggle having no effect for the rest of a session that started with thinking off; disabling an MCP server mid-connect no longer silently reverts
142- Fixed MCP servers from `--mcp-config` not being connected before the first turn in print mode (`-p`), which made the model emit tool calls as literal text
143- Fixed @-mentioned files being silently dropped when pressing Esc to retract a prompt and resubmitting it
144- Fixed a crash when preparing API requests for SDK MCP tools named after built-in object properties such as `constructor`
145- Fixed WebSearch failing with a 400 error at effort `xhigh`/`max` when thinking is disabled
146- Fixed sandboxed large uploads failing with TLS errors through the sandbox proxy
147- Fixed Team and Enterprise spend-limit message incorrectly blaming the org's monthly limit instead of your individual spend limit
148- Fixed Bedrock authentication with AWS SSO named profiles failing in desktop-managed sessions on Windows machines that set a stray `HOME` environment variable
149- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN=0` not disabling interrupted-turn auto-resume; falsy values are now honored
150- Fixed a rare wake-from-sleep race where two Claude Code processes could both refresh the same MCP connector or WIF OAuth token at once, forcing re-authentication
151- Fixed renaming a session from Claude Code Desktop or claude.ai not updating the CLI's session name; session names from every rename surface are now sanitized
152- Fixed plugin- and org-delivered skills named after terminal-only built-ins (e.g. `/help`, `/feedback`) being un-invocable in non-interactive sessions
153- Fixed the "Plugins changed" notification lingering after plugins were reloaded instead of clearing
154- Fixed Vim mode: the yank register now survives dialogs, history search, and the transcript view instead of being silently emptied
155- Fixed Vim mode: undoing back to an empty prompt now arms the "press ← again" confirm before returning to the agent view
156- Improved tool search on Google Vertex AI: re-enabled for Claude 4.5-generation and newer models
157- Improved auto mode: permission checks for parallel tool calls are now cache-efficient, and switching modes while a check is pending reliably prompts instead of applying the stale result
158- Reduced prompt-cache costs for auto-mode permission checks by reusing the cached conversation prefix across decisions
159- Improved Stats panel to count cache tokens in its token totals, with a breakdown by input, output, cache read, and cache write
160- Improved `/ultrareview` error messages when a repo shares no history with its base: a checkout with no branches is now refused up front with advice to create one, and refusal hints no longer suggest `git fetch --unshallow` on clones that are already complete
161- Improved Windows startup: process creation times are now read via a native kernel32 call instead of spawning PowerShell, so endpoint security tools that gate `powershell.exe` no longer prompt
162- Changed background sessions to commit and push to preserve work, open a draft PR only when the task calls for one, follow your CLAUDE.md git instructions, and always end by reporting where the work lives
163- Changed `/plugin install` to refresh a stale marketplace catalog and retry before reporting a plugin not found
164- Changed plugins installed from `/plugin` to activate immediately when safe, instead of always requiring `/reload-plugins`
165- Changed plugins to accept `"."` as a `skills` path, and the root-level `SKILL.md` validation error now suggests using the plugin root
166- Changed `/status` to show the session kind: `interactive`, or a background job that is `attached` or `unattended`
167- Changed emoji autocomplete to accept common alternate shortcodes like `:thumbsup:`, `:thumbsdown:`, and `:love:`
168- Changed sessions forked with `/fork` to create a new worktree of their own instead of working in the original session's checkout
169- Changed Claude in Chrome to close the browser tabs it opens once it no longer needs them
170- Changed fast mode to report on the stream when usage credits run out mid-session, instead of failing silently
171- Changed Monitor: a watch that exits without producing any output now says so instead of reporting "stream ended"
172- Changed the Gateway `model` field validation: non-string values are rejected with a 400 instead of being forwarded
173- Removed the repeated "Permission mode changed while the auto-mode classifier call was queued" notice from approval prompts
174
175## 2.1.220
176
177- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
178
179## 2.1.219
180
181- Added Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, fast mode at $10/$50 per Mtok
182- Added `sandbox.network.strictAllowlist` setting to deny non-allowlisted hosts for sandboxed commands without prompting
183- Added `DirectoryAdded` hook that fires after `/add-dir` or the SDK `register_repo_root` control request registers a new working directory mid-session
184- Added `mcp_server_errors` to the headless stream-json init event, listing `--mcp-config` entries skipped by config validation; terminal runs print a startup warning
185- Added the `workflowSizeGuideline` settings key so the advisory Dynamic workflow size guideline can be set from any settings file; the `/config` row is hidden while one does
186- Added nested subagent forwarding in stream-json: subagents spawned at depth-2+ now appear when `--forward-subagent-text` is set, keyed by their spawning Agent `tool_use` id
187- Fixed `claude -p` text output dropping the answer already produced when a turn dies on a mid-stream API error
188- Added HTTP status and error text to `claude mcp list` and `/mcp` when a server fails to connect, and a warning for MCP config values with hidden leading or trailing whitespace
189- Fixed the Fable model row showing "Requires usage credits" for plans that include it, when a stale cache had baked the label in
190- Fixed the `/model` picker showing the merged Opus row as plain "Opus" instead of "Opus (1M context)"
191- Fixed copy-on-select inside GNU screen printing base64 into the terminal instead of copying the selection
192- Fixed Remote Control clients keeping a stale fast-mode status after a model switch, reconnect, or failed org check
193- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH` on Windows exiting or being used as bash when the path isn't a bash/sh binary; it's now ignored with a warning
194- Fixed Vim mode: pressing ← on an empty prompt now returns to the agent view from NORMAL mode, not just INSERT
195- Fixed screen-reader mode rewriting the entire input line on every keystroke instead of echoing only the typed character
196- Improved the "Remote Control is only available via api.anthropic.com" error to name the specific setting that caused it
197- Improved `claude --teleport` to show which repo your current checkout points at when it doesn't match the session's repo
198- Changed dynamic workflows to default to a medium size guideline (aim for fewer than 15 agents); pick another size or unrestricted with Dynamic workflow size in `/config`
199- Changed managed MCP allowlist/denylist `${VAR}` entries to resolve from the startup environment and managed-settings env instead of settings-file env
200- Changed the `/model` picker to highlight only the newest model's name, so the highlight marks the new release rather than an arbitrary subset of the list
201- Added the current default workflow size to the running-workflow status line, with a pointer to `/config` for changing it
202- Removed Opus 4.7 from fast mode; `/fast` now applies to Opus 5 and Opus 4.8
203- Updated the claude-api skill to default to Claude Opus 5, with a migration path from Opus 4.8
204- Subagents can now spawn nested subagents up to depth 3 by default (was 1); set CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH=1 to disable nesting
205
206## 2.1.218
207
208- Changed `/code-review` to run as a background subagent, so review work no longer fills your conversation and keeps stacked slash commands as its review target
209- Added screen-reader announcements of deleted text for word and line deletions (`Option+Delete`, `Ctrl+W`, `Cmd+Backspace`, `Ctrl+U`, `Ctrl+K`) in `--ax-screen-reader` mode
210- Fixed Windows paths with `\u`-prefixed segments (like `C:\Users\unicorn`) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
211- Fixed the left arrow key discarding the conversation with no undo: presses right after editing now ask to confirm, and Esc in the agent view returns to the conversation it backgrounded
212- Fixed multi-line paste collapsing into one line with `j` in place of newlines in terminals that encode pasted newlines as Ctrl+J
213- Fixed `/context` reporting stale pre-compact token usage after compacting from the message picker
214- Fixed `/ultrareview` failing on descriptive arguments like "review my auth changes" — they now run a review of your current branch with the text applied as a note to the findings
215- Fixed `/code-review ultra` silently running a local review in non-interactive sessions — it now launches the cloud review
216- Fixed gateway spend metering to price Bedrock application-inference-profile ARNs and other config-mapped upstream model IDs at the configured model's rates
217- Fixed mojibake when a long IDE selection was truncated mid-emoji, and a case where a tool executor error could be silently dropped
218- Fixed an engine teardown race that could start and abandon a phantom turn, and made input pushed after close consistently rejected
219- Fixed spurious "[Request interrupted by user]" messages after interrupted tool calls, and an unpaired `tool_use` block left in the transcript when a tool aborted mid-response
220- Fixed VoiceOver reading "new line" instead of echoing the typed space at the end of the input in `--ax-screen-reader` mode
221- Fixed plugin and settings panels not moving the terminal cursor to the focused row, so screen readers and magnifiers can follow arrow-key navigation
222- Fixed crashes (maximum call stack exceeded) when a deeply nested watched directory tree was deleted or moved, and when rendering deeply nested UI trees
223- Fixed pull request events occasionally being lost when a session exited immediately after creating or linking a PR
224- Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard failing profile verification for assume-role profiles in partitioned AWS regions and on proxy-only networks
225- Fixed rare negative or incorrect turn duration measurements after a system clock adjustment by timing turns with a monotonic clock
226- Fixed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice over-counting claude.ai connectors that aren't connected in claude.ai
227- Fixed prompt history entries being dropped or duplicated when history writes raced or failed
228- Fixed a retry loop that re-sent identical doomed requests after a context-overflow error with a large thinking budget; `Ctrl+B` backgrounding now applies the same background-shell caps as other paths
229- Fixed agent frontmatter hooks running from untrusted folders: hooks now require the agent file's own folder to have accepted workspace trust
230- Fixed fork-session lineage being lost after compaction in headless and SDK sessions
231- Fixed a resumed session failing every turn, or crashing on resume, when its history held a malformed delta attachment
232- Improved `/ultrareview` error feedback so Claude can correct an invalid argument instead of retrying it unchanged
233- Improved auto mode: the dangerous-rm, background-`&`, and suspicious-Windows-path checks no longer open permission dialogs; the auto-mode classifier adjudicates them instead
234- Improved sandbox command restrictions for IDE interactions
235- Improved trust dialogs to name the repository root the grant covers
236- Changed `/deep-research` to start only when invoked manually; Claude no longer launches it on its own
237- Changed plan mode with auto to no longer prompt for Bash commands the static analyzer can't prove read-only; the auto-mode classifier judges them instead
238- Added an announcement when fast mode changes as a result of switching models via `/config model=<x>` or Remote Control
239- Changed server-managed settings so benign feature and cost toggles no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
240- Changed agent markdown files to reject agent names containing `:`, which is reserved for plugin namespacing
241- Changed skills with `context: fork` to run in the background by default; opt out per skill with `background: false`
242- Added `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off`/`1`/`0` (case-insensitive) as accepted values for skill and plugin frontmatter booleans, alongside `true`/`false`
243- Fixed remote sessions continuing to send heartbeats after their worker was replaced, which left long-lived desktop and IDE processes retrying a rejected request every few seconds forever
244
245## 2.1.217
246
247- Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting
248- Added warnings when transcript writes are failing (e.g. disk full) or when session saving is off due to an inherited environment variable, instead of losing transcripts silently
249- Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session
250- Fixed Windows auto-update failures that could leave `claude.exe` missing; failed updates now restore the preserved executable automatically
251- Fixed background session isolation not canonicalizing symlinked working directories, which could let sessions escape their workspace folder
252- Fixed auto-compact never triggering for Claude Opus 4.8 on Bedrock and `/compact` failing once over the limit
253- Fixed corporate mTLS, TLS-verify, OAuth scope, and proxy settings being ignored in Claude Desktop sessions
254- Fixed screen reader mode's startup announcement being cut off by the first prompt render, and the thinking status row re-rendering every few seconds to update elapsed time and token counts
255- Fixed managed settings that set `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` not governing all signals — lower-scope signal-specific overrides no longer redirect telemetry away from the managed endpoint
256- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` and `/resume` failing with a TypeError when a transcript has a malformed attachment entry
257- Fixed Remote Control sessions not showing a pending permission prompt or dialog to viewers that connected after it appeared
258- Fixed background shells sometimes becoming impossible to stop after a session is sent to the background (`/background` or `←`) or when the session exits on a heavily loaded machine, most visible on Windows
259- Fixed a `CLAUDE.md` or `SKILL.md` paths frontmatter value with many brace groups OOM-killing or stalling the CLI at startup — brace expansion is now budget-bounded
260- Fixed the transcript preview sitting flush against the input area when attaching to a starting background session; it now leaves the same one-line gap as the live layout, so the transcript no longer shifts when the session takes over
261- Improved footer PR badge links to be clickable hyperlinks even when terminal support can't be detected (e.g. over ssh/tmux); set `FORCE_HYPERLINK=0` to opt out
262- Changed the login-expiry warning to appear 3 days before expiry instead of 5
263- Capped the frontend-design plugin suggestion tip at 3 lifetime impressions instead of repeating indefinitely
264- Added a cap on concurrently-running subagents (default 20, override with `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBAGENTS`) so one message can't fan out unbounded background agents
265- Changed subagents to no longer spawn nested subagents by default; set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to allow deeper nesting
266- Fixed `--max-budget-usd` not stopping background subagents: once the cap is reached, new spawns are denied and running background agents are halted
267
268## 2.1.216
269
270- Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control
271- Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes
272- Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session
273- Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first — free-text answers now get neutral wording
274- Fixed Claude Code on the web re-asking the same question and dropping your answer after the session sat idle for a few minutes
275- Fixed @-mentions silently attaching nothing after file-modifying hooks, vim dot-repeat of `c`-operators and paste, statusline running twice on resume, and resume-picker hangs on failure
276- Fixed resumed background agent sessions reverting to the default agent: the agent's prompt and tool restrictions are now restored
277- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents redirecting git into the shared checkout via `git -C`, `--git-dir`, or `GIT_DIR`/`GIT_WORK_TREE`
278- Fixed worktree sessions landing in another project's leftover worktree when the working directory did not match the selected project
279- Fixed background sessions whose worktree has no git repository being undeletable
280- Fixed `claude daemon stop --any` potentially terminating an unrelated process via a stale legacy daemon lockfile
281- Fixed Esc-Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind picker in long-running sessions with background tasks
282- Fixed Bash command permission checking for compound statements with redirects inside `&&` lists or negations
283- Fixed pressing Ctrl+X twice in the agent list failing to delete a session, and deleted sessions reappearing when their background worker had died
284- Fixed background subagents getting cancelled when a high-priority message arrives during their startup window
285- Fixed mouse and focus garbage in the terminal while a GUI editor from `/memory`, `/plan`, `/keybindings`, or Ctrl+G is open; `/memory` no longer waits for the editor to close
286- Fixed Claude-in-Chrome 403-looping on reconnect when the session's OAuth token lacks a required scope
287- Fixed workflow saves and scheduled-task writes following a symlink at `.claude`, which could redirect writes outside the project
288- Fixed MCP re-authenticate revoking working credentials before the new sign-in succeeds, and the reconnect needs-auth message in background sessions pointing at an unusable command
289- Fixed read-only commands on Windows accessing network paths without a permission prompt
290- Fixed Bash command parsing of non-ASCII characters to match real shell word boundaries
291- Fixed PowerShell tool permission validation of commands containing invisible Unicode characters
292- Fixed dialogs in fullscreen mode stretching past the right-hand edge of their panel
293- Fixed the `/config` settings list in fullscreen mode clipping its keyboard-hint footer
294- Fixed the transcript-mode (Ctrl+O) footer hint wrapping on terminals narrower than 104 columns
295- Fixed the Prometheus metrics endpoint (`OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus`) emitting invalid `# UNIT` lines
296- Fixed skills and commands changed during a session not appearing in the slash menu until restart
297- Fixed plugin skills with a `name` frontmatter field losing their plugin prefix in slash-command autocomplete
298- Fixed telemetry misreporting permission denials: failed permission-prompt requests no longer count as user rejections, and user interrupts are now reported as user aborts instead of rejections
299- Improved the `/fork` confirmation to one line with the new session's name, `claude attach` id, and a note when the copy shares your checkout
300- Improved validation of `git` and `gh` command arguments in the PowerShell tool
301- Improved the `/ultrareview` diff-too-large error to show configured limits, measured diff size, and largest contributing files
302- Improved `/code-review ultra` empty-diff message to name the exact base ref and suggest passing an explicit base
303- Improved the spend limit adjustment prompt to show the server's reason when a spend limit change is rejected
304- `/context` now shows an explicit warning when the conversation exceeds the context window, and a failed `/compact` displays as an error
305- `/rewind` no longer restores or deletes files through symlinks or hard links at tracked paths and reports how many paths it skipped
306- Background sessions: `/mcp` and `/install-github-app` now park a "needs input" request in the agent view when no client is attached
307- Updated the bundled dataviz skill: reordered the default chart palette and fixed guidance that suggested direct labels for four-series charts
308- [VSCode] Fixed right-to-left text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering in the wrong order when mixed with English or code
309- Fixed cloud sessions dropping the in-flight message when the session's container restarts mid-turn — the interrupted turn now re-runs on resume instead of leaving the session unresponsive
310
311## 2.1.215
312
313- Claude no longer runs the `/verify` and `/code-review` skills on its own; invoke them with `/verify` or `/code-review` when you want them
314
315## 2.1.214
316
317- Fixed single-segment `dir/**` allow rules like `Edit(src/**)` auto-approving writes to nested `dir/` directories anywhere in the tree instead of only `<cwd>/dir`
318- Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions
319- Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer
320- Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically
321- Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in `[[ ]]` comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval
322- Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain `help` and `man` commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths
323- Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog
324- Added the EndConversation tool: Claude can end sessions with highly abusive users or jailbreak attempts, as on claude.ai since 2025 — see https://www.anthropic.com/research/end-subset-conversations
325- Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent
326- Added an ISO `modified` timestamp to memory file frontmatter
327- Added `message.uuid`, `client_request_id`, and `tool_source` attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance
328- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH` to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes
329- Added reasoning effort to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort
330- Added permission prompts for `docker` commands (including the Podman `docker` shim) carrying daemon-redirect flags (`--url`, `--connection`, `--identity`, and Podman's remote mode) that previously ran without one
331- Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags
332- Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a `pkill -f` pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)
333- Fixed unbounded memory growth when `--settings` points at a device file or multi-GB file; oversized (>2 MiB) settings files now fail at startup with a clear error
334- Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows
335- Fixed stream-json output truncation at exit for slow-reading SDK/pipeline consumers; the exit drain now scales with queued bytes instead of a flat 2s cap
336- Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task
337- Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)
338- Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)
339- Fixed Python scripts run via the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeEncodeError on non-ASCII output, and PowerShell 7 error messages containing raw ANSI escape sequences (Windows)
340- Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting `where.exe`, `fc.exe`, and `diff.exe` as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)
341- Fixed `>` and `>>` under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8
342- Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon
343- Fixed background sessions parked with `←` or `/background` and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely
344- Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via `claude rm` or the agent view once the background service had gone idle
345- Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view
346- Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store
347- Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled
348- Fixed `/install-github-app` and the `/mcp` settings menu being blocked in agent-view sessions — they're now refused only in background sessions with no terminal attached
349- Fixed plugins enabled via the `--settings` CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)
350- Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates
351- Fixed `/ultrareview` refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files
352- Fixed `claude update` and `claude doctor` hanging silently, and the `/status` System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory
353- Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline `#` when memory files are saved
354- Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative `message_delta` frames
355- Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking
356- Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation
357- Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context
358- Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources
359- Improved the `claude rc` workspace-trust error in the home directory to say trust there is never saved and to suggest running from a project directory
360- Changed single-segment `dir/**` hook `if:` conditions to match only `<cwd>/dir`; write `**/dir/**` for any-depth matching. `deny`/`ask` permission rules keep their any-depth match.
361- Changed `file` commands using `-m`/`--magic-file` or `-f`/`--files-from` to require permission instead of being auto-allowed as read-only
362- Changed keep-alive connection pooling to disable after a stale-connection error, so retries open a fresh socket
363- Changed SessionStart hooks to report source `"fork"` when a session begins as a fork instead of `"resume"`
364
365## 2.1.212
366
367- `/fork` now copies your conversation into a new background session (its own row in `claude agents`) while you keep working; the in-session subagent it used to launch is now `/subtask`
368- Added `claude auto-mode reset` to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass `--yes` to skip)
369- Added a session-wide limit on WebSearch tool calls (default 200, tunable via `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_WEB_SEARCHES_PER_SESSION`) to stop runaway search loops
370- Added a per-session cap on subagent spawns (default 200, override with `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENTS_PER_SESSION`) to stop runaway delegation loops; `/clear` resets the budget
371- MCP tool calls running longer than 2 minutes now move to the background automatically so the session stays usable; configure the threshold or disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_AUTO_BACKGROUND_MS`
372- Typing `/resume` in the agent view now opens a picker of past sessions — including sessions deleted from the list — and resumes your pick as a background session
373- Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. `touch`, `rm`) without a permission prompt or SDK `canUseTool` callback
374- Fixed worktree creation following a repository-committed symlink at `.claude/worktrees`, which could create files outside the repository
375- Fixed a `continue:false` hook's halt being dropped when the tool fails or completes mid-stream, and hook infrastructure errors being misreported as user rejections
376- Fixed SIGTERM during a running Bash tool orphaning the command's process tree in print/SDK mode; the CLI now aborts the turn, kills the tree, and exits 143
377- Fixed `/background` and `claude --bg` failing with "EUNKNOWN: unknown error, uv_spawn" on Windows when Group Policy blocks PowerShell 5.1; the daemon now prefers PowerShell 7
378- Fixed shell mode (`!`) not executing commands containing file paths while the path autocomplete popup was open
379- Fixed auto-mode denial notifications rendering broken characters when a long denial reason was truncated mid-emoji
380- Fixed Ctrl+J not inserting a newline in the agent view dispatch input on terminals with extended key reporting, and surfaced the newline shortcut in the `?` help overlay
381- Fixed `/ultrareview` rejecting PR references like `#123`, `PR 123`, and pasted PR URLs; error hints now name the command you actually typed
382- Fixed `/ultrareview <branch>` not fetching the branch from origin when it exists remotely; it now suggests the closest branch name on typos
383- Fixed `/ultrareview` skipping the billing confirmation in a new conversation after `/clear`
384- Fixed `/ultrareview`'s "not a git repository" error on Claude Desktop now suggesting the project's repository folder instead of terminal commands
385- Fixed hosted (host-managed) sessions failing at startup when repository settings configured mTLS certs, extra CA bundles, or OAuth scopes; these transport settings are now ignored with a warning
386- Fixed a spurious "File has not been read yet" error when editing a file that had been read with offset/limit before resuming a session
387- Fixed `ExitWorktree` failing with "no active EnterWorktree session" after resuming a session with `--continue`/`--resume` in print/SDK mode
388- Fixed the workflow agent grid staying empty for Remote Control clients that join a session mid-run
389- Fixed streaming-mode control requests being marked complete before their handler finished, which could lose the request on session restart
390- Fixed background sessions created with `/fork` losing their live-parent protection after a state write failure
391- Fixed reopening a stopped background session from the agent view failing silently — it now resumes the session, or shows why it can't and lets you force a restart
392- Fixed agent teams: a stopping teammate could send the leader duplicate idle notifications when team initialization re-ran within a session
393- Fixed the plan-approval dialog footer splitting "ctrl+g to edit in <editor>" apart when the file path is long
394- Fixed the welcome banner keeping its old panel widths after a combined width+height terminal resize in fullscreen mode
395- Fixed diff previews losing their line numbers and +/- markers in narrow layouts
396- Fixed @-mentions attaching nothing after a partial file read, plugin uninstall targeting the wrong marketplace, and false "Command timed out" on exit code 143
397- Fixed OpenTelemetry HTTP exports being rejected with 411/400 by Azure Monitor and other endpoints that don't accept chunked transfer encoding
398- Fixed OTLP event log records missing `trace_id`/`span_id` when `TRACEPARENT` is set in SDK/headless mode
399- Fixed conversations with many images incorrectly failing with "Request too large" errors, and improved the error message to explain the actual cause
400- Fixed web search and web fetch returning "API Error" text as search results or page content when the API was overloaded
401- Improved web search and web fetch reliability by retrying 529 errors and rate-limited requests with bounded backoff
402- Improved prompt caching: the mid-conversation system block now works behind LLM gateways and custom base URLs (Bedrock, Vertex, 1P)
403- Improved background agent attach: cold-attaching now instantly shows the formatted transcript while the session boots, instead of a blank wait
404- Reduced token usage in inter-agent messaging: `SendMessage` bodies are no longer duplicated into replayed history and tool results
405- Changed `/fork` to name the copy after your prompt when the session has no title, so the row is recognizable in the agent view
406- Changed bare `/btw` to reopen the side-question panel on your most recent exchange so you can browse earlier answers
407- Changed the `←` footer hint to pulse `N done` for a moment when a background agent finishes while nothing needs your input
408- Deprecated the Task tool's `mode` parameter (now ignored); subagents inherit the parent session's permission mode by default
409- Changed Enterprise `forceLoginMethod` to be enforced for VS Code extension, SDK, `setup-token`, and `install-github-app` logins, not just the terminal
410- Changed session transcripts to record the reasoning effort level on each assistant message
411- Changed headless/SDK sessions to apply a `set_model` control request mid-turn; the next model round-trip uses the new model instead of waiting for the next turn
412- Changed agent view / `claude agents --json`: sessions waiting on a sandbox, MCP-input, or managed-settings prompt now show as "Needs input" instead of "Working"
413- Updated the auth status panel title from "Cloud authentication" to "Authentication"
414- Corrected an earlier release note (2.1.200): tmux through the 3.6 series lacks synchronized output; newer tmux with support is detected automatically
415
416## 2.1.211
417
418- Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output
419- Fixed permission previews relayed to chat channels not neutralizing bidirectional-override, zero-width, and look-alike quote characters, so tool inputs cannot visually alter the approval message
420- Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt
421- Fixed parallel Claude Code sessions all logging out simultaneously after wake-from-sleep when many sessions share one credential store
422- Fixed plugin MCP servers not reconnecting after an idle web session woke, leaving MCP calls failing until the next message
423- Fixed Claude Code on Vertex and Bedrock attempting the default Opus model at startup and printing a spurious fallback notice when a model is explicitly configured
424- Fixed subagents spawned with an explicit model override reverting to the parent's model when resumed or sent a follow-up message
425- Fixed nested `.claude/rules/*.md` files loading even when setting sources exclude project settings
426- Fixed file upload validation: filenames ending in a DOS device suffix (`.prn`) or trailing dot are now accepted, and files with multiple hard links are refused
427- Fixed file uploads to Claude in Chrome from remote and CLI sessions
428- Fixed edits that leave the input as "?" being silently swallowed and toggling the shortcuts panel
429- Fixed a startup hang when the Claude in Chrome extension is enabled but Chrome is not running
430- Fixed a 300ms delay revealing async content (Settings tabs, Stats, diff views, and other loading states)
431- Fixed reopening a just-stopped background session from the agents view starting a blank conversation under the same session id
432- Fixed `/loop` hiding the session from `/resume` after a single use
433- Fixed screen reader users losing the audible terminal bell after `/terminal-setup` or onboarding terminal setup
434- Fixed background jobs on LLM gateway auth (`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` + `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) coming back "Not logged in" after the daemon respawns them
435- Fixed `claude agents` jobs becoming permanently undeletable when git no longer recognizes their worktree — the row now shows why the delete was refused instead of silently reappearing
436- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the session cost counter — the statusline's cost now starts at $0 after `/clear`
437- Fixed Claude in Chrome setup pages failing to open in the browser on Windows
438- Fixed headless print-mode sessions on Windows crashing or silently exiting when stdin is unreadable
439- Fixed background session titles in the agents view showing the naming model's refusal text when the prompt contains a link
440- Fixed background agents killed by the user auto-respawning, and revived agents re-running stale prompts from old sessions
441- Fixed routines with no schedule reporting a next run time in the year 1
442- Hardened synced skill/plugin directory naming on Windows and kept CCR web fetch/search proxies working after `/clear`
443- Improved terminal layout and rendering performance
444- Improved background agent result reporting — Claude now reports the status of still-running agents and waits for the real completion instead of fabricating results
445- Improved the memory index over-limit warning to measure only loaded content, excluding frontmatter and HTML comments
446- Updated integer environment variables (timeouts, token budgets, retry counts) to accept scientific notation and digit-separator spellings like `1e6` and `64_000`
447- Updated documentation links to the current docs sites
448- Changed "always allow" permission rules to save at the repository root, so approvals granted in a git worktree persist across sessions and worktrees
449- Changed `/usage-credits` to ask for confirmation before sending a request to organization admins
450- Changed Vim mode `s` and `S` (substitute char/line) to work in NORMAL mode, matching vim behavior
451- [VSCode] Updated the Remote Control banner to describe what it does
452- Claude in Chrome: hardened file-upload path validation
453- Claude in Chrome: `save_to_disk` on screenshot actions now writes the image to disk and returns the path; previously it did nothing
454- Fixed a prompt-caching regression on Bedrock, Vertex, Mantle, and Foundry that billed the trailing system context block as fresh input tokens on every request.
455
456## 2.1.210
457
458- Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck
459- Added a startup warning for `Write(path)`, `NotebookEdit(path)`, and `Glob(path)` permission rules — use `Edit(path)` or `Read(path)` instead
460- Fixed `isolation: 'worktree'` subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree
461- Fixed the `ultracode` keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated input such as webhook payloads and relayed PR comments
462- Fixed a rendered text fragment leaking into crash telemetry when a UI component returned content outside a styled text element
463- Fixed paste markers leaking into external editors opened from Claude Code, which could appear as stray È/É characters around pasted text
464- Fixed `claude attach` sometimes failing with "job not found" or "agent is still starting" errors during session transitions — attach now waits for the daemon to settle, and terminal resizes during a slow attach are applied once it completes
465- Fixed a session crash when a tool's result renderer returned a numeric bigint value or plain text instead of a UI element
466- Fixed a hook callback timeout being misreported to the model as a user rejection, which made unattended sessions stop and wait
467- Fixed Claude assuming a `cd` took effect after its command was moved to the background; the tool result now states the working directory is unchanged
468- Fixed plugin-provided MCP servers being torn down when MCP servers are re-synced mid-session
469- Fixed plan approvals without edits being labeled "(edited by user)" and overwriting the plan file with a stale snapshot
470- Fixed `/doctor` skipping its auto-mode-default proposal on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, where auto mode no longer needs an opt-in
471- Fixed Grep content mode claiming "No matches found" when paginating past the end of results
472- Fixed unmatched `$1`/`$2` positional placeholders in skills and commands being silently stripped; they are now preserved verbatim
473- Fixed plugin cache writes leaving temp files behind on failure and failing on locked-file renames on Windows and network filesystems
474- Fixed background workers crash-looping when a client resets its connection to the background service
475- Fixed `claude agents --effort ultracode` not reaching dispatched sessions; the value was silently dropped
476- Fixed pressing ← to open the agents view dropping the task tracker when returning to the session
477- Fixed the agents dashboard retaining pasted images from abandoned reply drafts after their session was deleted
478- Fixed killed background sessions leaving a permanent `git worktree lock` behind; the periodic sweep now releases locks whose owning process is gone
479- Fixed SDK MCP servers registered via an `initialize` control request waiting until the next turn to start connecting
480- Fixed returning to the agents view from a session leaving overlapping ghost frames with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1`
481- Fixed late-appearing `.claude/*` symlinks not being reconciled into the sandbox deny-write list
482- Hardened the Agent tool against indirect prompt injection via content a subagent read
483- Improved the Bash/PowerShell tool message when a command hits its timeout and is auto-backgrounded, so the model can distinguish a hang from an explicit background request
484- Improved auto mode: the permission classifier now defaults to Sonnet 5 for external sessions, validated on the session's first request and pinned for the session
485- Improved the bundled dataviz skill's chart color validation with perceptual OKLab color difference and recalibrated color-blindness thresholds
486- Memory writes that leave a MEMORY.md index over its read limit now produce an explicit error instead of silent truncation
487- Screen reader mode now announces permission mode changes aloud when cycling modes with Shift+Tab
488- The agents footer hint now shows how many background agents are waiting on your input, with a brief color emphasis when the count changes
489- Agent view: the session you pressed ← from stays visibly marked even after mouse hover or arrow keys move the selection
490- Fable temporarily shows as unavailable in the advisor picker while a server-side issue causing Fable advisor failures is fixed
491
492## 2.1.209
493
494- Fixed /model and other dialogs being blocked in `claude agents` background sessions (reverts an overly broad guard)
495
496## 2.1.208
497
498- Added screen reader mode: opt-in plain-text rendering for screen reader users. Run `claude --ax-screen-reader`, set CLAUDE_AX_SCREEN_READER=1, or add "axScreenReader": true to settings.
499- Added `vimInsertModeRemaps` setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like `jj` to Escape in vim mode
500- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PROCESS_WRAPPER`: agent view and the background service now honor a corporate launcher by running every Claude Code self-spawn through a required wrapper executable
501- Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and "Other" input rows in fullscreen mode
502- Changed the Fable 5 usage-credits consent prompt to start with the decline option focused
503- Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings
504- Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts
505- Fixed background-session attach failing permanently ("Couldn't start the background daemon") after an update replaced the binary a running `claude agents` process was launched from
506- Fixed the context window (and auto-compact indicator) briefly resetting to 200k after the CLI auto-updates, causing a false "100% context used" when resuming long-context sessions
507- Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight
508- Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from `claude -p`
509- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (`1e6` became `1`)
510- Fixed very large markdown tables stalling rendering or using excessive memory; tables over 200 rows show the first 200 with a "… N more rows" notice
511- Fixed the Edit tool failing on files modified after reading when the target text still matches uniquely
512- Fixed Read reporting empty files as "shorter than offset", Grep silently returning "No files found" for invalid regex patterns, Grep count mode under-reporting totals when paginated, and Glob crashing with an unclear error when the pattern, path, or working directory contained a null byte
513- Fixed `apiKeyHelper` script failures being hidden behind a generic 401 after ~10 silent retries; the script's own error is now shown within 3 attempts
514- Fixed Bedrock streaming requests failing with a misleading "Truncated event message received" when a gateway transforms the response — the error now names the content-type and points at the proxy
515- Fixed `/upgrade` showing a login flow instead of the upgrade URL when the browser fails to open
516- Fixed stream-json input killing the session on blank CRLF or whitespace-only lines from Windows-style SDK hosts
517- Fixed headless stream-json sessions hanging permanently when a `control_request` carried a non-string `set_model` payload; the CLI now answers with an error response
518- Fixed repeated "No completion record was found" notices on session resume — orphaned background tasks now collapse into a single summary
519- Fixed Remote Control clients attaching to a terminal-hosted session not seeing background agents and workflow progress until a task started or stopped
520- Fixed the Agent tool launching with no tools when a subagent's `tools` list resolves to nothing — it now returns a clear error naming the unrecognized entries
521- Fixed `/usage` showing stale cached bars over fresher data, and `/mcp` not reclassifying placeholder servers after config edits
522- Fixed "Change directory" in SDK hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop) failing with "A turn is in progress" on idle sessions that have a running background task
523- Fixed the workflow save dialog showing `~/.claude/workflows/` instead of the `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` location for user-scope saves
524- Fixed `/release-notes` adding the viewed notes to the model's context — "Show all" previously injected the entire changelog into every subsequent request
525- Fixed a memory leak in the agent view where pasted images were retained for the screen's lifetime after sending peek replies
526- Fixed SDK sessions losing agents defined via the initialize request when a plugin refresh ran before the client attached
527- Fixed several memory leaks in long sessions: MCP stdio server stderr accumulating up to 64 MB per server, LSP documents staying open indefinitely (now LRU with 50-doc cap), async hook output retained after backgrounding, and unbounded growth in headless/SDK sessions from large tool-result payloads
528- Fixed a memory blowup when reading files with extremely long single lines using offset/limit — the read now returns a clean error instead of loading the whole line
529- Fixed multi-second per-turn slowdowns in sessions with many permission deny/ask rules — rule matchers are now compiled once and cached
530- Improved input responsiveness while agent task lists update — task updates no longer re-render the entire UI
531- Reduced per-tool-call CPU overhead in print/SDK sessions with many MCP tools by caching tool-pool assembly (up to 7x faster tool rounds at high tool counts)
532- Reduced memory usage by bounding the file edit read cache to 16 MB instead of pinning up to 1,000 full files
533- Reduced session transcript size (up to 79x in edit-heavy sessions) and bounded checkpoint disk usage by pruning superseded file-history backups
534- Reduced memory usage when resuming sessions with background agents or forks spawned from large conversations
535- Completed background agents now stay listed in `/tasks` until cleanup instead of vanishing the moment they finish
536- Attaching to a stopped background agent now shows its transcript immediately while the session warms up, instead of a blank "Session is starting" screen
537- Background sessions: an older daemon no longer silently restarts workers spawned by a newer version onto the older binary
538- Agent view: Ctrl+X now deletes renamed-branch worktrees, never destroys unpushed commits, keeps the session row when a worktree is kept, and reused worktree names reset to the current base
539- Catastrophic removals (e.g. `rm -rf ~`) in commands containing `$(…)`/backticks/`<(…)` now prompt in `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and auto mode, matching the plain form
540- `/install-github-app` and the `/mcp` settings menu no longer open in background sessions
541- MCP servers configured with an empty URL now show as "not configured" in `/mcp` instead of a config error
542- `/usage` now shows your last-known usage bars with an "as of" note when the usage endpoint is rate-limited, instead of an error screen
543- Fixed Bedrock auth failing with "Session token not found or invalid" for AWS SSO profiles whose sso_region differs from the Bedrock region (2.1.207 regression)
544
545## 2.1.207
546
547- Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings
548- Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
549- Fixed remote managed settings from a non-interactive run (`claude -p`, the SDK) being permanently recorded as consented without ever showing the security consent dialog
550- Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
551- Fixed the auto-updater overwriting a custom launcher script or symlink at `~/.local/bin/claude` on every release; `/doctor` now reports an externally managed launcher
552- Fixed compound commands with `cd` prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to `/dev/null`
553- Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
554- Fixed `extensions.worktreeConfig` being left in the repo's `.git/config` (breaking go-git tools like `tea`) after the last `worktree.sparsePaths` worktree was removed
555- Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, `.ignore`, and `.worktreeinclude` breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
556- Fixed a crash loop in agent teams where a malformed teammate mailbox message caused repeated errors every second until the mailbox file was manually deleted
557- Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
558- Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
559- Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
560- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
561- Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname
562- Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
563- Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of adding a second one
564- Improved agent view: blocked session peeks now lead with the question and show a worded staleness clock (`waiting 3m`) instead of the same timestamp twice
565- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
566- Changed auto mode to no longer read `autoMode` from `.claude/settings.local.json` (repo-resident); use `~/.claude/settings.json` instead
567- Fixed an indefinite hang on Windows when AWS credential resolution stalls (e.g. a stuck `credential_process`): the 60-second stall guard now fires instead of waiting forever.
568- Plugin hooks/monitors/MCP headersHelper: `${user_config.*}` in shell-form commands is now rejected (shell-injection fix). Hooks: use exec form (`args` array) or `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY>`; monitors and headersHelper: read the value inside the script (config file or the server's `env` block).
569- Plugin option values (`pluginConfigs`) are no longer read from project-level `.claude/settings.json`; only user, `--settings`, and managed settings are honored
570- Fixed `/usage-credits` amount inputs silently stripping malformed values (e.g. a pasted timestamp) to digits; malformed amounts are now rejected with an error, and amounts over $1,000 require a typed confirmation
571
572## 2.1.206
573
574- Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior
575- Added a `/doctor` check that proposes trimming checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
576- `/commit-push-pr` now auto-allows `git push` to the repo's configured push remote (`remote.pushDefault`, or the sole remote when only one is configured) in addition to `origin`
577- Gateway: `/login` now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
578- `EnterWorktree` now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project's `.claude/worktrees/` directory
579- Background agents now upgrade to a new version in the background right after a Claude Code update, instead of paying a slow stale-session upgrade when you attach
580- Fixed an expired login failing every model with a misleading "There's an issue with the selected model" error instead of prompting to run `/login`
581- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` not responding to keyboard input on startup
582- Fixed MCP servers configured via `--mcp-config` or `.mcp.json` ignoring a per-server `request_timeout_ms`, which caused long-running MCP tool calls to time out at the 60s default in fresh sessions
583- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` being silently ignored by `claude agents` / `--bg` background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
584- Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
585- Fixed `--permission-prompt-tool` pointing at an MCP server crashing with "MCP tool not found" on cold start before the server finishes connecting
586- Fixed `/model` picker rows printing a price for a different model than the row named, and stopped quoting first-party list prices on providers that don't bill them
587- Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the `/model` picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
588- Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing "running" after a slash command was sent mid-turn
589- Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare `claude --resume` on Windows
590- Fixed `claude rm` leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in `claude agents`
591- Fixed `/remote-control` showing "Unknown command" when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
592- Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
593- Fixed `/status` listing the same broken-install warning twice
594- Fixed false "disused plugin" tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
595- Fixed `/doctor`'s update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask's channel instead of the settings channel
596- Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
597- Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an `awsCredentialExport` helper on networks with restricted egress
598- Improved `/code-review` findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
599- Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
600- Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted
601
602## 2.1.205
603
604- Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
605- Fixed `--json-schema` silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the `format` keyword being rejected
606- Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the `--max-turns` limit
607- Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
608- Fixed background agents staying shown as "failed" or "completed" in the agent list after being resumed with `SendMessage`
609- Fixed background jobs flipping from "needs input" back to "working" in the agent list when the agent's turn contained no readable text
610- Fixed `claude attach` erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
611- Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
612- Fixed `claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop` getting stuck when a server name contains unsupported characters; invalid names are now reported and remaining servers still import
613- Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
614- Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
615- Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
616- Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
617- Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
618- Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale "Running" status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
619- Improved auto mode to ask before running `rm -rf` on a variable it can't resolve from context
620- Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater's peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
621- Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
622- Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in `claude agents`
623- Improved agent view: rows now show a colored state word and a classifier-written headline instead of raw tool call text, and the peek opens with full status including the exact ask for blocked sessions
624- `/doctor` is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; `/checkup` is its alias
625- Reserved the "Claude Browser" MCP server name (alongside "Claude Preview") ahead of the Claude Desktop pane rename; user-configured MCP servers can no longer register under either name
626- Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with "Not logged in · Please run /login" on CLI 2.1.203+
627
628## 2.1.204
629
630- Fixed hook events not streaming during SessionStart hooks in headless sessions, which could cause remote workers to be idle-reaped mid-hook
631
632## 2.1.203
633
634- Added a warning when your login is about to expire, so you can re-authenticate before background sessions are interrupted
635- Added a grey ⏸ badge to the footer when in manual permission mode, making the active mode always visible
636- Added the session's additional working directories to MCP `roots/list`, with `notifications/roots/list_changed` sent when the set changes
637- Fixed opening or switching background agent sessions on macOS stalling for 15–20 seconds due to a false low-memory detection (regression in 2.1.196)
638- Fixed background sessions becoming permanently unresponsive to attach, replies, and stop when the daemon's session token went stale — the session now recovers automatically
639- Fixed returning to `claude agents` silently stopping running subagents and re-running the prompt from scratch — their work now carries over
640- Fixed a memory and per-turn CPU regression in interactive sessions: the context-usage indicator no longer re-analyzes the entire transcript after every turn
641- Fixed background agents inheriting a stale `PATH` from the daemon instead of the dispatching shell, causing missing tools on Windows
642- Fixed background and agent-view sessions dropping a shell-exported `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, which sent API keys to the default endpoint and failed with 401
643- Fixed Bash failing with "argument list too long" in repos with many git worktrees
644- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents sometimes running shell commands in the parent checkout instead of their own worktree
645- Fixed worktree creation rejecting nested repositories in multi-repo workspaces, leaving background sessions unable to isolate and edit
646- Fixed background agents crash-looping when their working directory was deleted, replaced by a file, or became an invalid path — they now fail once with a clear error
647- Fixed a background daemon auto-upgrade failure silently killing all running background sessions
648- Fixed `TaskStop` and `TaskOutput` failing to find background agents spawned by another agent — errors now list running agents by id and description
649- Fixed the `claude agents` composer discarding your typed message when a slash command isn't available there
650- Fixed the agent list crashing when opening a stopped session whose conversation was already open in another session
651- Fixed background sessions showing "Needs input" in the agent list after the question was already answered
652- Fixed background agent startup failures showing only "exit_with_message" instead of the actual error
653- Fixed background sessions ignoring `effortLevel` changes in settings.json when forked through the daemon
654- Fixed attached background sessions ignoring `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` opt-outs
655- Fixed `/exit` incorrectly warning about running background agents after all named agents had completed
656- Fixed background sessions started from a non-git directory unable to edit files when a `WorktreeCreate` hook was configured
657- Fixed the `@` directory picker in `claude agents` not showing registered git worktrees
658- Fixed background task output on Windows being permanently replaced by an empty file after `/clear`
659- Fixed content jumping when scrolling up through long transcript history
660- Fixed the terminal flickering and jumping while typing in bash mode when a shell-history suggestion was shown
661- Fixed literal `^[[I` / `^[[O` escape codes being printed when reattaching to a background session
662- Fixed LSP-only plugins being incorrectly flagged for disuse when their language servers deliver diagnostics or answer navigation requests
663- Improved responsiveness while long responses stream: live-preview updates no longer re-render the whole screen
664- Improved subagent behavior: agents are now less likely to re-delegate their entire task to another subagent
665- Reduced binary size by ~7 MB and startup memory by ~7 MB by loading a large bundled dependency lazily instead of inlining it
666- Changed left arrow to no longer close the background tasks, diff, and workflow detail views — press Esc instead
667- Changed the empty `claude agents` view to always show the organized sections (Needs input / Working / Completed) with descriptions
668- Removed the startup "claude command missing or broken" warnings — they now appear in `/doctor` and `/status` instead
669- Removed a redundant navigation hint from the `claude agents` footer
670- [VSCode] Added a Settings toggle for "Enable Remote Control for all sessions"
671
672## 2.1.202
673
674- Added a "Dynamic workflow size" setting in `/config` for controlling how large Claude generally makes dynamic workflows (small/medium/large agent counts) — an advisory guideline, not an enforced cap
675- Added `workflow.run_id` and `workflow.name` OpenTelemetry attributes to telemetry emitted by workflow-spawned agents, so a workflow run's activity can be reconstructed from OTel data
676- Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning the history file
677- Fixed `/rename` on background sessions being reverted when the job restarts, which broke addressing the session by its new name
678- Fixed transient mTLS handshake failures when settings were re-applied during an in-place client certificate rotation
679- Fixed commands sent from Remote Control (mobile/web) into an interactive session failing with "Unknown command"
680- Fixed images and files sent from the Remote Control mobile or web app without a caption being silently dropped
681- Fixed the sign-in URL printed by `claude auth login` and `claude mcp login --no-browser` not being reliably clickable when it wraps over SSH — it is now emitted as a single hyperlink
682- Fixed opening a chat from `claude agents` sometimes failing with "currently running as a background agent" followed by a worker crash/respawn loop
683- Fixed workflow scripts with unicode quote escapes in strings being corrupted before parsing; workflow parse errors now show the offending line instead of always blaming TypeScript
684- Fixed voice dictation retrying in an unbounded loop when the microphone or audio recorder fails — repeated capture failures now pause voice input
685- Fixed `/remote-control` sessions showing the wrong permission mode in the mobile and web apps
686- Fixed resuming a session by name, or opening the resume picker, taking minutes and using a large amount of memory in repositories with many git worktrees
687- Fixed installer and updater downloads failing immediately with "aborted" when a proxy or network drops the connection mid-download — transient connection drops now retry
688- Fixed re-invoking an already-loaded skill appending a duplicate copy of its instructions to context
689- Improved `/workflows` agent list layout: wider titles, a dedicated time column, shorter model names, and no per-row tool-call counts
690- Improved MCP error messages: clearer error when a server config has `url` but no `type`, suggesting `"type": "http"` instead of the misleading "command: expected string"
691- Changed `/review <pr>` back to a fast single-pass review; use `/code-review <level> <pr#>` for the multi-agent review at a chosen effort level
692
693## 2.1.201
694
695- Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders
696
697## 2.1.200
698
699- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
700- 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`
701- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
702- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
703- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
704- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
705- 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
706- 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
707- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
708- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
709- 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`
710- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
711- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
712- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
713- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
714- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
715- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
716
717## 2.1.199
718
719- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
720- 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
721- 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
722- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
723- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
724- 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
725- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
726- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
727- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
728- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
729- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
730- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
731- 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
732- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
733- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
734- 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
735- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
736- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
737- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
738- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
739- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
740- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
741- `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`
742- `claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
743
744## 2.1.198
745
746- 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)
747- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
748- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
749- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
750- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
751- 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
752- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
753- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
754- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
755- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
756- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
757- 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
758- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
759- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
760- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
761- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
762- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
763- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
764- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
765- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
766- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
767- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
768- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
769- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
770- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
771- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
772- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
773- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
774- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
775- 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
776- `/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
777- 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
778- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
779
780## 2.1.197
781
782- 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
783
784## 2.1.196
785
786- 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
787- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
788- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
789- 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`
790- 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
791- 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
792- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
793- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
794- 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
795- 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
796- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
797- 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
798- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
799- 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
800- 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
801- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
802- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
803- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
804- 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
805- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
806- 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
807- 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
808- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
809- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
810- 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.
811- 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`
812- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
813
814## 2.1.195
815
816- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
817- 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.
818- Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
819- Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
820- Fixed external plugins enabled only by project `.claude/settings.json` not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path
821- Fixed `/plugin` Enable/Disable not working when a plugin's `plugin.json` `name` differs from its marketplace entry name
822- Fixed background jobs disappearing from `claude agents` or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
823- Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
824- Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
825- Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes "no microphone" from "SoX not installed" when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
826- Improved `claude agents` completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
827- Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts
828
829## 2.1.193
830
831- Added `autoMode.classifyAllShell` setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
832- Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and `/permissions` recent denials
833- 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.
834- Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (`!`)
835- Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at `/mcp`
836- Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1`)
837- Fixed `/model` and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after `/login`
838- Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
839- Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
840- Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
841- Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
842- Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
843- Improved MCP `headersHelper` auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
844- Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace `renames` maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
845- Improved `/add-dir` message when the directory is already a working directory
846
847## 2.1.191
848
849- Added `/rewind` support for resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run
850- Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
851- Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent
852- Fixed `/voice` showing a generic "not available" message when disabled by an organization's policy — it now explains the restriction
853- Fixed `/login` URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
854- Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
855- Fixed `claude agents` sending builtin slash commands like `/usage` to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
856- Fixed `claude agents` job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the `[Image #N]` placeholder
857- Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. `"Bash,PowerShell"`) silently never firing
858- Fixed `/permissions` Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
859- Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
860- Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
861- 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
862- 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
863- Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (`tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list`) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
864- 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
865- Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
866- Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL `/`) to hint how to reach slash commands
867- Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
868- Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache
869
870## 2.1.190
871
872- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
873
874## 2.1.187
875
876- Added `sandbox.credentials` setting to block sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables
877- 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
878- Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, `/model`, `/config`, etc.) in fullscreen mode
879- Fixed `--resume` failing with "No conversation found" when the original `-p` run produced no model turns
880- 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
881- 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`)
882- Fixed Claude Code Remote sessions taking ~2.7s longer to start after the agent proxy CA system-trust install was added
883- Fixed pasted Korean/CJK text turning into mojibake in terminals that deliver paste as per-byte extended-key events
884- Fixed `/update` over Remote Control hanging when a startup trust dialog would have shown
885- Fixed background jobs in the agents view getting stuck in "working" indefinitely when the agent ended a turn without producing structured output
886- Fixed channel connections dropping after navigating to the agents view and back, and after `/bg`, `/tui`, or `/update`
887- Fixed agent stop notifications not correctly attributing who stopped the agent, and improved wording ("finished"/"stopped" instead of "came to rest")
888- Fixed subagent depth tracking: resumed subagents now restore their original spawn depth, and forked subagents now count toward the depth cap
889- Fixed leaked agent worktree registrations: locked `.git/worktrees/` entries from killed agents are now cleaned up automatically
890- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
891- Fixed `claude --help` not listing the `--bg`/`--background` flag
892- Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while `/share` is uploading
893- Improved `/install-github-app`: GitHub Actions workflow setup is now optional — you can install just the GitHub App and skip the workflow/secret steps
894- Improved `/btw` with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
895- Improved `/plugin` to surface plugins you haven't used recently so you can clean them up
896- [VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session
897
898## 2.1.186
899
900- 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
901- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view
902- Added a "Skills" section to the `/plugin` Installed tab
903- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
904- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
905- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
906- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
907- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
908- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
909- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
910- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
911- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
912- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
913- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
914- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
915- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
916- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
917- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
918- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
919- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
920- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
921- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
922- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
923- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
924- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
925- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
926- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
927- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
928- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
929- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
930- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
931- 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
932- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
933
934## 2.1.185
935
936- 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
937
938## 2.1.183
939
940- 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
941- 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
942- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
943- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
944- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
945- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
946- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
947- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
948- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
949- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
950- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
951- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
952- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
953- 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
954- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
955- 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
956- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
957
958## 2.1.181
959
960- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
961- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
962- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
963- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
964- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
965- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
966- 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
967- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
968- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
969- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
970- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
971- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
972- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
973- 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
974- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
975- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
976- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
977- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
978- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
979- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
980- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
981- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
982- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
983- 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`
984- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
985- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
986- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
987- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
988- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
989- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
990- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
991- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
992- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
993- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
994- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
995- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
996- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
997- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
998- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
999
1000## 2.1.179
1001
1002- 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"
1003- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
1004- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
1005- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
1006- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
1007- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
1008- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
1009- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
1010- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
1011
1012## 2.1.178
1013
1014- 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.
1015- 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
1016- 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
1017- 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/`
1018- 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
1019- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
1020- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
1021- 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
1022- 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
1023- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
1024- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
1025- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
1026- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
1027- 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
1028- 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`
1029- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
1030- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
1031- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
1032- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
1033- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
1034- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
1035- 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
1036- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
1037- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
1038
1039## 2.1.176
1040
1041- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
1042- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
1043- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
1044- 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
1045- 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
1046- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
1047- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
1048- 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
1049- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
1050- 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
1051- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
1052- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
1053- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
1054- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
1055- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
1056- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
1057- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
1058- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
1059- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
1060- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
1061- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
1062- 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
1063
1064## 2.1.175
1065
1066- 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
1067
1068## 2.1.174
1069
1070- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
1071- 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
1072- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
1073- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
1074- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
1075- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
1076- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
1077- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
1078- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
1079- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
1080- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
1081- [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
1082- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
1083
1084## 2.1.173
1085
1086- 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
1087- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
1088
1089## 2.1.172
1090
1091- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
1092- 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
1093- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
1094- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
1095- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
1096- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
1097- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
1098- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
1099- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
1100- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
1101- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
1102- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
1103- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
1104- 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
1105- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
1106- 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
1107- 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
1108- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
1109- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
1110- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
1111- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
1112- 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
1113- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
1114- 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
1115- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
1116- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
1117- `/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
1118- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
1119- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
1120- [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
1121
1122## 2.1.170
1123
1124- 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
1125- 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.
1126
1127## 2.1.169
1128
1129- 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
1130- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
1131- 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
1132- 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
1133- 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
1134- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
1135- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
1136- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
1137- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
1138- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
1139- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
1140- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
1141- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
1142- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
1143- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
1144- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
1145- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
1146- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
1147- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
1148- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
1149- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
1150- 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
1151- 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
1152- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
1153- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
1154- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
1155- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
1156- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
1157- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
1158- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions
1159
1160## 2.1.168
1161
1162- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1163
1164## 2.1.167
1165
1166- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1167
1168## 2.1.166
1169
1170- 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
1171- 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
1172- 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
1173- `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)
1174- 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
1175- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
1176- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
1177- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
1178- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
1179- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
1180- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
1181- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
1182- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
1183- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
1184- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
1185- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
1186- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
1187- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
1188- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
1189- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
1190- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
1191
1192## 2.1.165
1193
1194- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1195
1196## 2.1.163
1197
1198- 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
1199- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
1200- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
1201- 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
1202- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
1203- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
1204- Fixed `claude -p` hanging forever after its final result when a backgrounded command never exits — background shells are now stopped ~5s after the result once stdin closes
1205- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
1206- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
1207- 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
1208- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
1209- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
1210- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
1211- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
1212- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
1213- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
1214- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
1215- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
1216- 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
1217- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
1218- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
1219- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
1220
1221## 2.1.162
1222
1223- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
1224- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
1225- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
1226- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
1227- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
1228- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
1229- 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
1230- 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
1231- 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
1232- 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
1233- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
1234- 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
1235- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
1236- 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
1237- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
1238- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
1239- 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
1240- 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
1241- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
1242- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
1243- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
1244- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
1245- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
1246- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
1247- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
1248- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
1249- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
1250- 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
1251
1252## 2.1.161
1253
1254- `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
1255- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
1256- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
1257- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
1258- 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
1259- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
1260- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
1261- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
1262- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
1263- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
1264- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
1265- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
1266- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
1267- Fixed `claude mcp` list/get/add printing secrets to the terminal: `${VAR}` references are no longer expanded, and credential headers and URL secrets are redacted
1268- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
1269- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
1270- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
1271- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
1272- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
1273- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
1274- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
1275- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
1276
1277## 2.1.160
1278
1279- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
1280- `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.)
1281- 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
1282- 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
1283- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
1284- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
1285- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
1286- 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
1287- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
1288- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
1289- 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
1290- 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
1291- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
1292- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
1293- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
1294- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
1295- 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
1296- 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
1297- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
1298- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
1299- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
1300- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
1301- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
1302- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
1303- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
1304- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
1305- 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
1306
1307## 2.1.159
1308
1309- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
1310
1311## 2.1.158
1312
1313- Auto mode is now available on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8. Opt in by setting `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1`
1314
1315## 2.1.157
1316
1317- Plugins in `.claude/skills` directories are now automatically loaded, no marketplace required
1318- Added `claude plugin init <name>` to scaffold a new plugin in `.claude/skills`
1319- Added autocomplete for `/plugin` arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
1320- `claude agents`: the `agent` field in `settings.json` is now honored for dispatched sessions, with `--agent <name>` to override it
1321- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
1322- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
1323- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
1324- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
1325- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
1326- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell
1327- Fixed `claude agents` pressing Esc not cancelling a slow "opening…", leaving the list unresponsive
1328- Fixed background agent worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
1329- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
1330- Fixed copy-on-select in `claude agents` not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with `set-clipboard on` (regression in 2.1.153)

1332- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
1333- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
1334- 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
1335- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
1336- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup

1340- Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
1341- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
1342- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
1343- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
1344- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
1345- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
1346- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
1347- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
1348- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
1349- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
1350
1351## 2.1.156
1352
1353- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
1354
1355## 2.1.154
1356
1357- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
1358- 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
1359- 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
1360- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
1361- 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
1362- `/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
1363- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
1364- `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>'`
1365- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
1366- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
1367- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
1368- 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
1369- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
1370- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
1371- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
1372- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
1373- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
1374- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
1375- 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`
1376- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
1377- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
1378- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
1379- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
1380- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
1381- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
1382- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
1383- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
1384- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
1385- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
1386- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
1387- 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
1388- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
1389- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
1390- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
1391- 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
1392- 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
1393- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
1394- 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
1395- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
1396- [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
1397- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
1398- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
1399- 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
1400- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
1401
1402## 2.1.153
1403
1404- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
1405- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
1406- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
1407- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
1408- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
1409- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
1410- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
1411- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
1412- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
1413- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
1414- 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
1415- `--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
1416- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
1417- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
1418- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
1419- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
1420- 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
1421- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
1422- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
1423- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
1424- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
1425- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
1426- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
1427- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
1428- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
1429- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
1430- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
1431- 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
1432- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
1433- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
1434- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
1435- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
1436- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
1437- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
1438- `/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.
1439- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
1440
1441## 2.1.152
1442
1443- `/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`
1444- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
1445- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
1446- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
1447- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
1448- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
1449- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
1450- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
1451- 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
1452- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
1453- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
1454- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
1455- 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)
1456- 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
1457- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
1458- 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
1459- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
1460- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
1461- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
1462- Fixed the loading spinner showing "still thinking"/"almost done thinking" while a tool is running, and reset the thinking status to "thinking" after each tool
1463- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
1464- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
1465- 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
1466- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
1467- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
1468- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
1469- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
1470- 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
1471- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
1472- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
1473- Fixed `cache_creation_input_tokens` reporting as 0 in transcript and result usage when the API reports cache writes only via the nested `cache_creation` breakdown
1474- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
1475- 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
1476
1477## 2.1.150
1478
1479- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
1480
1481## 2.1.149
1482
1483- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
1484- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
1485- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
1486- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
1487- 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
1488- 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)
1489- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
1490- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
1491- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
1492- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
1493- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
1494- Fixed `otelHeadersHelper` failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in `/doctor` and the debug log
1495- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
1496- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
1497- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
1498- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
1499- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
1500- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
1501- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
1502- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
1503- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
1504- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
1505- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
1506- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
1507- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
1508- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
1509
1510## 2.1.148
1511
1512- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
1513
1514## 2.1.147
1515
1516- 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
1517- 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
1518- 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
1519- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
1520- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
1521- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
1522- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
1523- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
1524- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
1525- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
1526- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
1527- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
1528- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
1529- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
1530- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
1531- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
1532- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
1533- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
1534- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
1535- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
1536- 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
1537- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
1538- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
1539- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
1540- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
1541- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
1542- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
1543- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
1544- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
1545- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
1546- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
1547- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
1548- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
1549
1550## 2.1.145
1551
1552- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
1553- 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
1554- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
1555- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
1556- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
1557- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
1558- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
1559- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
1560- 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
1561- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
1562- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
1563- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
1564- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
1565- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
1566- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
1567- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
1568- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
1569- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
1570- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
1571- 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
1572
1573## 2.1.144
1574
1575- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
1576- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
1577- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
1578- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
1579- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
1580- 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
1581- 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
1582- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
1583- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
1584- 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)
1585- 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
1586- 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
1587- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
1588- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
1589- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
1590- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
1591- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
1592- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
1593- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
1594- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
1595- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
1596- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
1597- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
1598- 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
1599- 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
1600- 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
1601- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
1602- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
1603- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
1604- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
1605- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
1606- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
1607- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
1608- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
1609- 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
1610- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
1611- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
1612- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
1613- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
1614- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
1615- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
1616- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
1617- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
1618- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
1619- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
1620- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
1621- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
1622- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
1623- 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)
1624- 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.
1625
1626## 2.1.143
1627
1628- 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
1629- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
1630- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
1631- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
1632- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
1633- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
1634- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
1635- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
1636- 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`)
1637- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
1638- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
1639- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
1640- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
1641- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
1642- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
1643- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
1644- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
1645- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
1646- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
1647- 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`.
1648- `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
1649- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
1650- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
1651- 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`
1652- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
1653- 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.
1654- `/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.
1655- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
1656- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
1657- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
1658- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
1659- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
1660- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
1661
1662## 2.1.142
1663
1664- 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
1665- 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
1666- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
1667- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
1668- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
1669- 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
1670- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
1671- 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
1672- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
1673- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
1674- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
1675- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
1676- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
1677- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
1678- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake
1679- Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
1680- Fixed redundant `set_model` requests from remote clients injecting duplicate `/model` breadcrumbs into the transcript
1681- Fixed plugins using `skills: ["./"]` showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
1682- Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
1683- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
1684- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
1685- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
1686- 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
1687- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
1688
1689## 2.1.141
1690
1691- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
1692- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
1693- 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
1694- Added `claude agents --cwd <path>` to scope the session list to a directory
1695- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
1696- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
1697- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
1698- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
1699- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
1700- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
1701- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
1702- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
1703- 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
1704- 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
1705- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
1706- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
1707- 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
1708- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
1709- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
1710- Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box
1711- Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent `transcript_path` after `EnterWorktree` switches the working directory
1712- 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)
1713- Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
1714- Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
1715- Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
1716- Fixed alternative `chat:submit` keybindings (e.g. `meta+enter`, `ctrl+enter`) not working when `enter` is rebound to `chat:newline`
1717- Fixed prompt suggestions being silently disabled when an output style was configured
1718- Fixed `spinnerVerbs` setting not being honored in turn-completion messages
1719- Fixed AskUserQuestion popup hiding the last line of preceding chat content
1720- Fixed Web Search status showing "Did 0 searches" when searches returned errors
1721- Fixed multi-line statusline output dropping or corrupting rows when any line exceeds terminal width
1722- Fixed light-ansi theme using invisible white for diff context lines on light backgrounds — now uses black
1723- Fixed error overlay dumping minified bundle source that hid the original error message
1724- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
1725- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
1726- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
1727- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
1728- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
1729- Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name
1730- Fixed `/mcp` server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
1731- Fixed redaction in `/feedback` bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs
1732- Fixed desktop and third-party provider sessions incorrectly inheriting `apiKeyHelper`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` from host managed-settings
1733- Fixed early analytics events being silently dropped when fired before logger initialization
1734- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
1735- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
1736- 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
1737- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
1738- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
1739- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
1740- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
1741- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
1742- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
1743- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
1744- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
1745- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
1746- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
1747- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
1748- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
1749- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
1750- `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
1751- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
1752
1753## 2.1.140
1754
1755- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
1756- Updated agent color palette
1757- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
1758- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
1759- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
1760- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time

1763- Fixed `/loop` scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
1764- Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. `gh`) triggered synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns on every check
1765- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
1766- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
1767- 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`.
1768
1769## 2.1.139
1770
1771- 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
1772- 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
1773- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
1774- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
1775- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
1776- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
1777- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
1778- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
1779- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
1780- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails

1782- `claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace>` now auto-refreshes the marketplace and retries before reporting a plugin as not found
1783- `/plugin` installed-plugin details now show hook event names and MCP server names cleanly
1784- `/context` now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
1785- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
1786- 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
1787- 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
1788- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
1789- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
1790- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
1791- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
1792- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
1793- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
1794- Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
1795- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
1796- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
1797- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
1798- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
1799- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
1800- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
1801- Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one

1803- Fixed model picker showing a redundant "Current model" row for third-party users whose model is set to the `opus` alias
1804- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
1805- 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
1806- Fixed scroll behavior in Windows Terminal and VS Code when attached to background sessions
1807- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
1808- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one

1817- Fixed keybindings using only the cmd/super/win modifier being flagged as unparseable
1818- Fixed `claude_code.active_time.total` OpenTelemetry metric not being emitted in `--print` mode
1819- Fixed `claude plugin update` not preserving cross-plugin symlinks inside a marketplace
1820- [VSCode] Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the most recently closed session tab, configurable via `claudeCode.enableReopenClosedSessionShortcut`

1835- Fixed a rare login loop where a concurrent credential write could overwrite a freshly-rotated OAuth token and force re-login
1836- 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
1837- Fixed an API error (400) when extended thinking emitted a redacted thinking block after a tool call
1838- Fixed `--resume` / `--continue` not finding sessions when the project path contains underscores

1882- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
1883- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
1884
1885## 2.1.133
1886
1887- 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
1888- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
1889- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
1890- 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`

1896- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
1897- 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
1898- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
1899- 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
1900- 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
1901- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
1902- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`

1904
1905## 2.1.132
1906

1908- 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
1909- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
1910- 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
1911- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
1912- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
1913- 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
1914- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
1915- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
1916- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters

1921- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
1922- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there

1924- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
1925- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height

1928- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
1929- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
1930- 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`
1931- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
1932- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
1933- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)

1945- 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
1946- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
1947- 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)
1948- 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
1949- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
1950- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description
1951- The `claude_code.pull_request.count` OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands
1952- Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging

1957- Fixed external-editor handoff (Ctrl+G) blanking the conversation history above the prompt
1958- Fixed `/context` dumping its rendered ASCII visualization grid into the conversation, wasting ~1.6k tokens per call

1969- [VSCode] Fixed `/clear` not clearing the conversation context and displayed transcript
1970
1971## 2.1.128
1972
1973- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
1974- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
1975- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
1976- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
1977- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
1978- 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
1979- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
1980- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
1981- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
1982- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
1983- Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, `/compact`, or run with `--debug`)
1984- Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
1985- Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every `/exit` in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification

1992- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
1993- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
1994- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
1995- 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
1996- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
1997- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
1998- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
1999- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
2000- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
2001- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
2002- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
2003- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
2004- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
2005- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
2006- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
2007- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
2008- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
2009- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
2010
2011## 2.1.126
2012
2013- The `/model` picker now lists models from your gateway's `/v1/models` endpoint when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway
2014- - 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`
2015- `--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)
2016- `claude auth login` now accepts the OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers)
2017- `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"`)
2018- Auto mode: the spinner now turns red when a permission check stalls, instead of looking like the tool is running
2019- Host-managed deployments (`CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST`) no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
2020- Windows: PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or `.NET global tool` is now detected
2021- Windows: when the PowerShell tool is enabled, Claude now treats PowerShell as the primary shell instead of defaulting to Bash
2022- Read tool: removed the per-file malware-assessment reminder that could cause spurious refusals and "this is not malware" commentary on legacy models
2023- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
2024- 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
2025- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin
2026- Fixed OAuth login failing with timeout on slow or proxied connections, in IPv6-only devcontainers, and when the browser callback can't reach localhost
2027- Fixed a rare race where a concurrent credential write could clear a valid OAuth refresh token

2034- Fixed Japanese/Korean/Chinese text rendering as garbled characters on Windows in no-flicker mode
2035- Fixed `Ctrl+L` clearing the prompt input — it now only forces a screen redraw, matching readline behavior
2036- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn
2037- Fixed plan-mode tools being unavailable in interactive sessions launched with `--channels`
2038- Fixed `/plugin` Uninstall reporting "Enabled" instead of "Uninstalled"
2039- Bounded total size of file-modified reminders when a linter touches many files at once

2041- Fixed Remote Control failure notification not showing the error reason for initial connection failures
2042- Windows: clipboard writes no longer expose copied content in process command-line arguments visible to EDR/SIEM telemetry; also fixes >22KB selections not reaching the clipboard
2043- PowerShell tool: bare `--` (e.g. `git diff -- file`) is no longer mis-flagged as the `--%` stop-parsing token
2044- Fixed Agent SDK hang when the model emits a malformed tool name in a parallel tool call batch
2045

2064- Fixed `!exit` / `!quit` in bash mode terminating the CLI instead of running as a shell command
2065- Fixed images sent to newer models being resized to 2576px per side instead of the correct 2000px maximum

2068- Fixed a malformed hooks entry in `settings.json` no longer invalidating the entire file
2069- Voice mode: keybindings bound to Caps Lock now show an error since terminals don't deliver Caps Lock as a key event
2070
2071## 2.1.121

Custom/MCP command names are redacted unless `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` is set
2242- Native builds on macOS and Linux: the `Glob` and `Grep` tools are replaced by embedded `bfs` and `ugrep` available through the Bash tool — faster searches without a separate tool round-trip (Windows and npm-installed builds unchanged)

2257- [VSCode] Fixed "Manage Plugins" panel breaking when multiple large marketplaces are configured
2258- Fixed Opus 4.7 sessions showing inflated `/context` percentages and autocompacting too early — Claude Code was computing against a 200K context window instead of Opus 4.7's native 1M
2259
2260## 2.1.116
2261
2262- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
2263- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; `resources/templates/list` is now deferred to first `@`-mention
2264- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — `/terminal-setup` now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity
2265- Thinking spinner now shows progress inline ("still thinking", "thinking more", "almost done thinking"), replacing the separate hint row

2271- Agent frontmatter `hooks:` now fire when running as a main-thread agent via `--agent`
2272- Slash command menu now shows "No commands match" when your filter has zero results, instead of disappearing
2273- Security: sandbox auto-allow no longer bypasses the dangerous-path safety check for `rm`/`rmdir` targeting `/`, `$HOME`, or other critical system directories
2274- Claude Code and installer now use `https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases` instead of `https://storage.googleapis.com/claude-code-dist-86c565f3-f756-42ad-8dfa-d59b1c096819/claude-code-releases`

2291
2292## 2.1.113
2293
2294- Changed the CLI to spawn a native Claude Code binary (via a per-platform optional dependency) instead of bundled JavaScript

2304- Subagents that stall mid-stream now fail with a clear error after 10 minutes instead of hanging silently
2305- Bash tool: multi-line commands whose first line is a comment now show the full command in the transcript, closing a UI-spoofing vector
2306- Running `cd <current-directory> && git …` no longer triggers a permission prompt when the `cd` is a no-op
2307- Security: on macOS, `/private/{etc,var,tmp,home}` paths are now treated as dangerous removal targets under `Bash(rm:*)` allow rules
2308- Security: Bash deny rules now match commands wrapped in `env`/`sudo`/`watch`/`ionice`/`setsid` and similar exec wrappers
2309- Security: `Bash(find:*)` allow rules no longer auto-approve `find -exec`/`-delete`

2342- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
2343- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`

2349- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
2350- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
2351- 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

2361- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
2362- 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
2363- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
2364- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
2365- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
2366- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
2367- 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
2368- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command

2372- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
2373- 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
2374
2375## 2.1.110
2376
2377- Added `/tui` command and `tui` setting — run `/tui fullscreen` to switch to flicker-free rendering in the same conversation

2422- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
2423- 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
2424- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand
2425- Added "verbose" indicator when viewing the detailed transcript (`Ctrl+O`)

2454- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
2455- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
2456- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
2457- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
2458- 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

2519- 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
2520- Fixed `/btw` writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use

2532- Fixed `/insights` sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
2533- [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed

2675
2676## 2.1.92

2781- Changed hook output over 50K characters to be saved to disk with a file path + preview instead of being injected directly into context
2782- Changed `cleanupPeriodDays: 0` in settings.json to be rejected with a validation error — it previously silently disabled transcript persistence

2784- Documented `TaskCreated` hook event and its blocking behavior
2785- Preserved task notifications when backgrounding a running command with Ctrl+B
2786- PowerShell tool on Windows: external-command arguments containing both a double-quote and whitespace now prompt instead of auto-allowing (PS 5.1 argument-splitting hardening)

3120- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
3121- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
3122- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
3123- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
3124- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)
3125- [VSCode] Improved plan preview tab titles to use the plan's heading instead of "Claude's Plan"

3161- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
3162- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input

3228- Improved IDE detection speed at startup
3229- Improved clipboard image pasting performance on macOS
3230- Improved `/effort` to work while Claude is responding, matching `/model` behavior
3231- Improved voice mode to automatically retry transient connection failures during rapid push-to-talk re-press
3232- Improved the Remote Control spawn mode selection prompt with better context
3233- Changed default Opus model on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry to Opus 4.6 (was Opus 4.1)
3234- Deprecated `/output-style` command — use `/config` instead. Output style is now fixed at session start for better prompt caching
3235- VSCode: Fixed HTTP 400 errors for users behind proxies or on Bedrock/Vertex with Claude 4.5 models
3236
3237## 2.1.72
3238
3239- Fixed tool search to activate even with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` as long as `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` is set.
3240- Added `w` key in `/copy` to write the focused selection directly to a file, bypassing the clipboard (useful over SSH)
3241- Added optional description argument to `/plan` (e.g., `/plan fix the auth bug`) that enters plan mode and immediately starts
3242- Added `ExitWorktree` tool to leave an `EnterWorktree` session
3243- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` environment variable to immediately stop scheduled cron jobs mid-session
3244- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
3245- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
3246- 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
3247- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
3248- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
3249- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)
3250- Improved bash command parsing by switching to a native module — faster initialization and no memory leak
3251- Reduced bundle size by ~510 KB
3252- Changed CLAUDE.md HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) to be hidden from Claude when auto-injected. Comments remain visible when read with the Read tool
3253- Fixed slow exits when background tasks or hooks were slow to respond
3254- Fixed agent task progress stuck on "Initializing…"
3255- Fixed skill hooks firing twice per event when a hooks-enabled skill is invoked by the model
3256- 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
3257- Fixed `--continue` not resuming from the most recent point after `--compact`
3258- Fixed bash security parsing edge cases
3259- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
3260- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
3261- 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
3262- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions
3263- Fixed `--effort` CLI flag being reset by unrelated settings writes on startup
3264- Fixed backgrounded Ctrl+B queries losing their transcript or corrupting the new conversation after `/clear`
3265- Fixed `/clear` killing background agent/bash tasks — only foreground tasks are now cleared
3266- Fixed worktree isolation issues: Task tool resume not restoring cwd, and background task notifications missing `worktreePath` and `worktreeBranch`
3267- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
3268- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
3269- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
3270- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
3271- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
3272- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query
3273- Fixed double Ctrl+C not exiting when background agents or tasks are running
3274- Fixed team agents to inherit the leader's model
3275- Fixed "Always Allow" saving permission rules that never match again
3276- 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
3277- Fixed session crashes in Desktop/SDK when Read returned files containing U+2028/U+2029 characters
3278- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
3279- 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
3280- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
3281- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
3282- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs
3283- Fixed multi-line session titles when forking from a conversation whose first message contained newlines
3284- Fixed queued messages not showing attached images, and images being lost when pressing ↑ to edit a queued message
3285- Fixed parallel tool calls where a failed Read/WebFetch/Glob would cancel its siblings — only Bash errors now cascade
3286- VSCode: Fixed scroll speed in integrated terminals not matching native terminals
3287- VSCode: Fixed Shift+Enter submitting input instead of inserting a newline for users with older keybindings
3288- VSCode: Added effort level indicator on the input border
3289- VSCode: Added `vscode://anthropic.claude-code/open` URI handler to open a new Claude Code tab programmatically, with optional `prompt` and `session` query parameters
3290
3291## 2.1.71
3292
3293- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
3294- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
3295- 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
3296- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
3297- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
3298- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
3299- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
3300- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other
3301- Fixed the Read tool putting oversized images into context when image processing failed, breaking subsequent turns in long image-heavy sessions
3302- Fixed false-positive permission prompts for compound bash commands containing heredoc commit messages
3303- Fixed plugin installations being lost when running multiple Claude Code instances
3304- Fixed claude.ai connectors failing to reconnect after OAuth token refresh
3305- Fixed claude.ai MCP connector startup notifications appearing for every org-configured connector instead of only previously connected ones
3306- Fixed background agent completion notifications missing the output file path, which made it difficult for parent agents to recover agent results after context compaction
3307- Fixed duplicate output in Bash tool error messages when commands exit with non-zero status
3308- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
3309- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref
3310- Fixed `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo@ref` incorrectly parsing `@` — previously only `#` worked as a ref separator, causing undiagnosable errors with `strictKnownMarketplaces`
3311- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
3312- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
3313- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
3314- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
3315- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
3316- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
3317- 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
3318- 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.
3319- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
3320- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
3321
3322## 2.1.70
3323
3324- 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
3325- 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
3326- 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
3327- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
3328- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
3329- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`
3330- Fixed extra VS Code windows opening at startup on Windows when running from the VS Code integrated terminal
3331- Fixed voice mode failing on Windows native binary with "native audio module could not be loaded"
3332- Fixed push-to-talk not activating on session start when `voiceEnabled: true` was set in settings
3333- Fixed markdown links containing `#NNN` references incorrectly pointing to the current repository instead of the linked URL
3334- Fixed repeated "Model updated to Opus 4.6" notification when a project's `.claude/settings.json` has a legacy Opus model string pinned
3335- Fixed plugins showing as inaccurately installed in `/plugin`
3336- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
3337- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
3338- 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
3339- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
3340- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
3341- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
3342- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
3343- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
3344- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
3345- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
3346- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
3347- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
3348- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
3349- 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.
3350- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
3351- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
3352- [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
3353
3354## 2.1.69
3355
3356- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
3357- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
3358- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
3359- 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
3360- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
3361- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
3362- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
3363- 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`
3364- 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
3365- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
3366- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
3367- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
3368- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
3369- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
3370- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
3371- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
3372- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
3373- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
3374- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
3375- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
3376- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
3377- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
3378- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
3379- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
3380- 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.
3381- 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)
3382- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
3383- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
3384- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
3385- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
3386- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
3387- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
3388- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
3389- 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)
3390- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
3391- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
3392- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
3393- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
3394- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
3395- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
3396- Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
3397- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter
3398- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` being ignored during conversation compaction
3399- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
3400- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
3401- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
3402- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
3403- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
3404- 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
3405- 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
3406- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
3407- 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.
3408- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
3409- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
3410- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
3411- 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
3412- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
3413- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
3414- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
3415- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
3416- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
3417- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
3418- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
3419- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
3420- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
3421- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior
3422- Fixed `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` plugin hooks being silently ignored
3423- Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
3424- Fixed project skills without a `description:` frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
3425- Fixed `/context` showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
3426- Fixed literal `nul` file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style `2>nul` redirection in Git Bash
3427- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
3428- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
3429- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
3430- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
3431- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
3432- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
3433- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
3434- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
3435- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
3436- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
3437- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
3438- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
3439- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
3440- 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.
3441- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
3442- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
3443- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
3444- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
3445- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
3446- Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
3447- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
3448- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
3449- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
3450- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
3451- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
3452- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
3453- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
3454- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
3455- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
3456- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
3457- [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
3458- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
3459
3460## 2.1.68
3461
3462- 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`
3463- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
3464- 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
3465
3466## 2.1.66
3467
3468- Reduced spurious error logging
3469
3470## 2.1.63
3471
3472- Added `/simplify` and `/batch` bundled slash commands
3473- Fixed local slash command output like /cost appearing as user-sent messages instead of system messages in the UI
3474- Project configs & auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
3475- Added `ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false` env var to opt out from making claude.ai MCP servers available
3476- Improved `/model` command to show the currently active model in the slash command menu
3477- Added HTTP hooks, which can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON instead of running a shell command
3478- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
3479- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
3480- 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.
3481- Fixed memory leak when navigating hooks configuration menu
3482- Fixed listener leak in interactive permission handler during auto-approvals
3483- Fixed file count cache ignoring glob ignore patterns
3484- Fixed memory leak in bash command prefix cache
3485- Fixed MCP tool/resource cache leak on server reconnect
3486- Fixed IDE host IP detection cache incorrectly sharing results across ports
3487- Fixed WebSocket listener leak on transport reconnect
3488- Fixed memory leak in git root detection cache that could cause unbounded growth in long-running sessions
3489- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache that grew unbounded over long sessions
3490- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
3491- 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.
3492- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
3493- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
3494- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
3495- 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.
3496- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
3497- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
3498
3499## 2.1.62
3500
3501- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
3502
3503## 2.1.61
3504
3505- Fixed concurrent writes corrupting config file on Windows
3506
3507## 2.1.59
3508

3551- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
3552- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
3553- 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.
3554- 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.

Also fixed session data loss on SSH disconnect by flushing session data before hooks and analytics in the graceful shutdown sequence.
3564- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
3565- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state

3597- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
3598- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
3599- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
3600- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
3601- 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.
3602- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes

3610- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
3611- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
3612- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call

3614- 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.
3615- 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
3616
3617## 2.1.47
3618
3619- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
3620- 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.
3621- 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.
3622- 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.
3623- 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)
3624- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use

3634- Windows: Fixed CWD tracking temp files never being cleaned up, causing them to accumulate indefinitely (anthropics/claude-code#17600)
3635- 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.
3636- 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.
3637- Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
3638- 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.
3639- 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.
3640- Fixed custom session titles set via `/rename` being lost after resuming a conversation (anthropics/claude-code#23610)
3641- Fixed collapsed read/search hint text overflowing on narrow terminals by truncating from the start.
3642- 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.

3644- Fixed MCP servers not appearing in the MCP Management Dialog after deferred loading
3645- Fixed session name persisting in status bar after `/clear` command (anthropics/claude-code#26082)
3646- 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)
3647- Fixed /resume silently dropping sessions when the first message exceeds 16KB or uses array-format content (anthropics/claude-code#25721)
3648- Added `chat:newline` keybinding action for configurable multi-line input (anthropics/claude-code#26075)

3655- Fixed Warp terminal incorrectly prompting for Shift+Enter setup when it supports it natively (anthropics/claude-code#25957)
3656- Fixed CJK wide characters causing misaligned timestamps and layout elements in the TUI (anthropics/claude-code#26084)
3657- Fixed custom agent `model` field in `.claude/agents/*.md` being ignored when spawning team teammates (anthropics/claude-code#26064)
3658- Fixed plan mode being lost after context compaction, causing the model to switch from planning to implementation mode (anthropics/claude-code#26061)
3659- Fixed `alwaysThinkingEnabled: true` in settings.json not enabling thinking mode on Bedrock and Vertex providers (anthropics/claude-code#26074)
3660- Fixed `tool_decision` OTel telemetry event not being emitted in headless/SDK mode (anthropics/claude-code#26059)

3666- 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)
3667- 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)
3668- Fixed read-only git commands triggering FSEvents file watcher loops on macOS by adding --no-optional-locks flag (anthropics/claude-code#25750)
