1# Changelog
2
3## 2.1.237
4
5- Fixed prompt caching for sessions using an LLM gateway or custom base URL
6- Added a built-in "Concise" output style: Claude leads with results and skips preamble and narration, while doing the work just as thoroughly. Select it under Output style in /config.
7
8## 2.1.236
9
10- Added `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL` environment variable: sets the model new sessions start on, while a `/model` pick still overrides it and persists across restarts (unlike `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`)
11- Added `notify_when_idle` to cross-session `SendMessage`: ask another Claude Code session on this machine to send one notice when it next goes idle — opt-in, one-shot, no polling (macOS and Linux)
12- Sandbox: on macOS, wildcard read-deny rules (e.g. `**/.env`) now take precedence inside allowed read regions, cover matched directories' contents, and can't be bypassed by renaming the denied file
13- Fixed clipboard copy, background housekeeping, background sessions, and local MCP logs breaking after the directory a session had switched into was removed (since 2.1.229)
14- Fixed the fullscreen renderer failing permanently after a single failed start: it now falls back to the classic renderer instead of exiting on every subsequent launch
15- Fixed the `/model` picker rendering taller than the terminal: it now shows only as many models as fit the window, with the rest reachable by scrolling
16- Fixed `SendMessage` calls being rejected when a malformed closing tag left the message text inside the summary field
17- Fixed unhandled promise rejections when a subprocess fails to start, for example `powershell.exe` on WSL with Windows interop disabled (regression in 2.1.234)
18- Fixed fullscreen mode sometimes not showing a newly sent message until the next update after the terminal was resized
19- Fixed a blank band that could remain above the prompt after clearing a multi-line prompt, and panes not repainting after resizing the terminal away and back, in fullscreen mode
20- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt sometimes not appearing at startup while still capturing the first keypress as approval
21- Fixed terminal tab titles jumping in tmux (iTerm tmux integration): the title is now written only when its text changes instead of animating every 960ms
22- Fixed an unclear error when the cloud environments list came back empty or malformed
23- Fixed the Fable 5 first-time usage-credits prompt auto-selecting the fallback model after 60 seconds with no answer when using Remote Control
24- Fixed spinner tips never appearing, with a repeated background error, when the cached guest-pass reward in `~/.claude.json` was malformed
25- Fixed skills hot-reload in SDK/VS Code sessions raising an error on every skills change after the session's working directory was deleted (2.1.229+)
26- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions released on idle, retire, or startup timeout occasionally resuming on another runner before the post-session hook had finished
27- Fixed the Clawd mascot's eyes and feet rendering unevenly in iTerm2 at some font sizes
28- Fixed occasional runaway session recaps: recap text (automatic and `/recap`) is now capped at 400 characters, cut at a word boundary
29- Improved startup performance: the session counter is now written in the background
30- Improved auto mode: `Monitor` allow rules are now set aside while auto mode is active, so Monitor commands are reviewed the same way Bash commands are
31- Improved auto mode on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry, and when telemetry is disabled: the classifier now uses the same defaults as on the Claude API, including severity-scored classification
32- Improved auto mode: the git status check can no longer be fooled by a repo's `status.showUntrackedFiles=no` setting into reporting a clean tree
33- 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
34- `/goal`: an idle session whose goal is parked behind long-running background work now checks in automatically after 30 minutes (then 1h, 2h) instead of waiting for you to return
35- `/usage` now shows the usage-credits spend row for Team and Enterprise members, and shows a capped row at 0% before anything is spent
36- SIGTERM in print/SDK mode no longer records an interrupted turn or synthetic tool denials before exiting; running commands are still terminated and the process still exits with code 143
37- Pressing Enter on a slash-command typo or a command unavailable in this session now reports it instead of running the closest fuzzy match; prefixes and aliases still run
38- Remote Control now marks a session offline within seconds when the CLI exits or its terminal closes
39- `SendMessage` now refuses further messages to a session up front once a rapid burst would exceed what that session's inbox accepts, instead of reporting them sent while they were dropped
40- Aligned the session title chip on the prompt border with the footer's right edge
41- Right-aligned footer items (goal indicator, session state, background agent status) and truncated notices now share a consistent right margin with the rest of the prompt area
42- [VSCode] Added screen reader support for the transcript: live announcements for replies, permission requests, errors, and status changes, plus per-turn heading navigation
43
44## 2.1.235
45
46- Added an optional `spellcheck` setting that underlines misspelled words in the prompt input as you type, using your installed `aspell`, `hunspell`, or `ispell`
47- Fixed whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server disconnected or reconnected mid-session
48- Fixed nested markdown list items misaligning at depth 3+ and added a hanging indent to wrapped list items in the terminal UI
49- Fixed prompt input highlights (slash commands, keywords, mentions) appearing shifted by one or more characters in some multi-line prompts
50- Fixed Shift+Tab inside the permission prompt's comment field approving the edit and granting session-wide edit permission instead of closing the field
51- Fixed the Agent tool advertising a general-purpose default in sessions where that agent is unavailable: an omitted `subagent_type` there now gets a clear error listing the available agents
52- Fixed notebook cell delete/replace approval dialogs silently omitting the existing cell content when the notebook or cell could not be read; the dialog now says why
53- Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing HTML entities instead of the actual characters
54- Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
55- Fixed the expanded task list (`ctrl+t`) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching into a session that still has open tasks
56- Improved memory and CPU usage while cloud sessions such as `/ultrareview` or `/autofix-pr` run in the background — their event streams are no longer re-scanned and re-rendered on every update
57- Improved permission dialogs: display text and "don't ask again" options now always match what a grant would cover, and "don't ask again" is withheld when contents cannot be fully displayed
58- Improved the embedded `grep` in native macOS/Linux builds: pathological patterns now fail fast instead of exhausting memory, and `-m N` with `-A/-C` prints correct context
59- Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to `/config` to re-enable it
60- Vim mode: NORMAL mode and cursor position are now preserved when toggling the detailed transcript (ctrl+o) or closing a panel
61- Dialogs: arrow keys and Enter pressed in quick succession now select the option you navigated to instead of the previously highlighted one
62- `SendMessage` now refuses messages too large for cross-session delivery up front instead of silently dropping them
63- Remote Control: `claude rc` now applies the same enterprise-gateway availability check as interactive startup
64- [VSCode] Fixed focus jumping between open Claude tabs on its own when a window with several Claude panels is restored or reloaded
65
66## 2.1.234
67
68- Added the optional `CLAUDE_CODE_PROJECT_DIR_NAME` environment variable: hosts that give each session its own config directory can choose a short name for the per-project transcript directory
69- Added the `selection:clear` keybinding action, so a key can be bound to clear an in-app text selection; also works in the agents view
70- Added a GitLab merge request badge to the footer and statusline: repos with a GitLab remote and an authenticated glab CLI show MR !N with draft/pending/green states
71- Claude Code now continues your session automatically when a claude.ai usage limit resets; turn it off in `/config` ("Continue automatically at usage limit")
72- Claude is now told to use your account email only to identify you, and not to send it to unrelated services unless you ask
73- Security: remote file reads, session restore, CLAUDE.md includes, workflow scripts and file uploads now reject Windows NT-namespace (`\??\`) paths, hardening the remaining pre-approval file accesses against the NTLM credential-leak vector
74- Fixed auto mode in very long sessions repeatedly re-checking and denying sandboxed commands' network access after the conversation had been compacted
75- Fixed session-scoped permission answers (including denies) being dropped when answering background subagent tool permission prompts
76- Fixed a crash when an API response on the non-streaming fallback path (typically via third-party gateways) contained a thinking block missing its thinking field or a text block missing its text field
77- Fixed markdown rendering becoming extremely slow for some messages containing unusual Unicode sequences
78- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a recipient copied from `ListAgents` when the session name is at the 200-character cap or emoji-heavy
79- Fixed repository detection mis-reading the host of git remotes with unusual userinfo, producing links and repo-specific behavior for the wrong host
80- Fixed MCP diagnostics printing resolved secrets: scope-conflict warnings now show the configured `${VAR}` form, and connection-failure details show only the server origin
81- Fixed `strictKnownMarketplaces` allowlists accepting SCP-style git marketplace sources whose host differs from the one git would actually connect to
82- Fixed modal text such as the `/login` OAuth URL losing characters when copied in fullscreen
83- Fixed a `---` horizontal rule in rendered markdown running into the line after it
84- Fixed consecutive shell commands splitting into multiple "Ran 1 shell command" rows when todo/task updates were interleaved between them
85- Fixed dialogs like `/permissions` opened while a `!` shell command was running being dismissed when the command finished
86- Fixed a queued `!` shell command being sent to the model as plain text after pressing up-arrow to edit the queued input
87- Fixed queued messages reappearing in the prompt history while still queued, Esc while selecting a queued message no longer interrupts the turn, and `!` mode no longer sticks after a mid-turn submit
88- Fixed accepting the "Try the new fullscreen renderer?" prompt restarting the session without its permission mode (e.g. `--dangerously-skip-permissions`), tool allow/deny rules, model or effort flags
89- Fixed `/tui` dropping launch `--allowed-tools`/`--disallowed-tools` rules when it restarts; it now declines to switch, with the reason, when the session has restrictions a restart can't carry over
90- Fixed trust prompts omitting the repository-wide scope warning when the directory was first seen before the repository existed there
91- Fixed a case where an IDE diff tab closing during a permission re-prompt could answer the new prompt with the previous input
92- Fixed: files sent to the user during Remote Control sessions hosted by Claude Code Desktop or VS Code now upload, so they open on phone and web instead of showing an empty card
93- Fixed: after `/login` while `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is set, the stale-token reminder no longer leaks into Claude's automatically resumed turn — it now appears only to you
94- Fixed: permission previews now relay only to channel servers admitted by the inbound trust gate, and a server's explicit permission-capability opt-out is honored
95- Fixed: credential masking on relayed permission previews can no longer hide commands, paths, or destinations from the approver; oversized private-key blocks now redact under full-strength redaction
96- Fixed: provider API tokens that mask on permission previews now mask even when directly followed by shell delimiters
97- Fixed Claude Desktop inter-session messages being silently dropped by the recipient session when cross-session messaging read as disabled, which left the sender's query "thinking" for many minutes
98- Remote Control: signing this computer in to a different claude.ai account or organization now stops the running session within seconds and says why, instead of a misleading HTTP 404 hours later
99- Remote Control sessions started from Claude Code Desktop or VS Code now keep phones and claude.ai/code updated on the session's permission mode (and claude.ai/code on the model) as they change
100- Remote Control: effort picks made on a phone or on claude.ai/code now apply to terminal- and Desktop/VS Code-hosted sessions, and the session publishes its effort level to connected clients
101- `SendMessage` and `ListAgents` now say when your account's session list was too long to check completely, instead of treating unseen sessions as absent
102- Expired Anthropic profile credential now points you at `/login` when a claude.ai login would take precedence
103- Improved the transcript: your own prompts now render markdown (highlighted code blocks, inline code, lists) the same way replies do
104- Improved the "API returned an empty or malformed response" error to say what came back (content type, body kind, size, request ID) and why the original streaming request failed
105- Improved auto-generated session titles to read as short, specific names (e.g. "Login button bug") rather than sentences restating your request (e.g. "Fix the login button on mobile")
106- Reduced the context cost of loading the built-in `claude-api` skill from ~200k+ tokens to ~25k by loading reference docs on demand
107- `/permissions` can now be opened while Claude is working — rule changes apply to the rest of the current turn
108- `/add-dir <path>` can now be used while Claude is working; `/add-dir`, `/autocompact`, `/theme`, `/help`, `/config` and `/advisor` dialogs open mid-turn in the fullscreen TUI
109- `/goal` now clears itself with a notice when a turn dies on an unrecoverable error (e.g. revoked auth, an exhausted credit balance, or a context overflow) instead of staying armed
110- `/goal`: when background tasks keep a goal waiting for 30+ minutes, Claude now checks in on them instead of waiting indefinitely (set `CLAUDE_CODE_GOAL_CHECKIN_MINUTES=0` to opt out)
111- `claude setup-token` now rejects unexpected extra arguments instead of silently ignoring them
112- Changed Esc in fullscreen mode to no longer clear a mouse text selection: it interrupts or dismisses as usual and the selection stays highlighted
113- Removed the redundant "Allowed by auto mode classifier" line that auto mode showed under every Agent tool call
114- Removed the "Default teammate model" setting from `/config`; agent-team teammates now use the leader's model unless the spawn names one
115- Dimmed the elapsed-time counter on the running tool header so it no longer competes with the bold counts
116- Background task notifications delivered between turns are now sent to the model inside `<system-reminder>` tags, matching mid-turn delivery
117- Mantle: skip the admin-pin availability probe at startup when a main-loop model is already picked
118- Windows: startup no longer stalls on repeated rename retries when `~/.claude.json` is read-only
119
120## 2.1.233
121
122- Added GitLab merge request URL support to the `--worktree` flag and the `claude agents` view (where MRs display as `!N`)
123- Added an opt-in `forward_user_identity` apps gateway setting on Anthropic upstreams that sends the signed-in user's identity as headers, so a proxy behind the gateway can attribute spend per user
124- Added opt-in memory cgroup support for Bash tool commands on Linux (`CLAUDE_CODE_TOOL_MEMORY_LIMIT`) so a runaway build can't stall the session
125- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBFETCH_CACHE_TTL_MS` environment variable to configure the WebFetch session URL cache TTL (default unchanged: 15 minutes)
126- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally being marked as lost when the environment shut down while Claude was waiting on a permission prompt
127- Fixed MCP v2 connections endlessly reopening the subscriptions/listen stream against servers that terminate long-held streams on a fixed timeout (e.g. serverless hosts)
128- Fixed Notification hooks not firing for permission prompts when running under Claude Desktop or VS Code
129- Fixed idle sessions on Linux sometimes keeping one CPU core at 100% when sandboxing is enabled
130- Fixed bundled skill aliases like `/checkup` and `/review` reporting "Unknown command" in `-p` mode or with plugins/MCP loaded when a user or project skill shadows the bundled skill
131- Fixed skill/command argument substitution to prevent argument values from being re-expanded as template markers
132- Fixed Windows paths spelled with the NT `\??\` device prefix bypassing UNC path validation, closing an NTLM credential-leak vector
133- Improved `claude self-hosted-runner` session start time: the session branch is now created without rewriting the working tree, and two server round trips no longer block the agent's launch
134- Improved apps gateway error forwarding: 400/413 errors from Vertex, Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS upstreams now carry the upstream's own message; fixes a bug with auto-compact on apps gateway
135- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check a bare `.claude/skills` directory, reporting SKILL.md files whose frontmatter fails to parse
136- Improved screen reader mode: the `/effort` selector renders as a numbered list with a typed-number prompt, and hint and dialog text is no longer clipped
137- Improved print mode diagnostics: a `[claude-code:unrecognized_model]` line is written to stderr when a request goes out for a model ID Claude Code doesn't recognize; map it with `modelOverrides` to silence
138- Changed the GitHub app setup tip to no longer appear in repositories whose origin remote is on gitlab.com or bitbucket.org; the enterprise marketplace tip now covers non-GitHub internal git hosts
139- Todo/task-tracking tools (TaskCreate/Get/Update/List, TodoWrite) are no longer available on Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Fable 5, Mythos 5, and newer models; set `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` to bring them back
140- Windows: fixed auto mode repeatedly stopping for manual approval on ordinary `cd <dir> && <command> > file` Bash commands (a 2.1.232 regression)
141- Reverted the 2.1.232 Bash permission changes for Cygwin-style symlinks on Windows and for input redirections (`< file`); a narrower version will return in a later release
142
143## 2.1.232
144
145- Subagent forking is now on by default: a `subagent_type: "fork"` subagent inherits the full conversation and prompt cache, and non-teammate agent spawns in interactive sessions now run in the background by default
146- Type `@` in the prompt to mention another Claude session by name; Claude then uses `SendMessage` to reach that session directly
147- `SendMessage` now delivers to a bare name that exactly matches one live session, instead of asking to confirm with a ref first
148- Interactive sessions on one machine now keep unique names: starting or renaming a session to a name another live session already uses gives it a `name-word-word` variant and tells you
149- Added `/config` rows for "Dialog expiry" and "Messages from your other sessions" (cross-session inbound accept/hold/refuse)
150- Added secret redaction for GitLab token families (`glrt-`, `gloas-`, `glptt-`, `glagent-`, `glimt-`, `glsoat-`, `glcbt-`, `glft-`, `glffct-`) and full redaction of routable `glpat-`/`gldt-` tokens; the `glab` CLI config store gets the same sandbox and credential-path protection as `gh`
151- Added GitLab support to plugin marketplaces: bare `gitlab.com` repo URLs (including nested subgroups) now clone like `github.com` URLs, and clone auth-failure hints name your actual git host
152- Settings: `additionalMarketplaces` and `allowedMarketplaces` are now accepted as friendlier aliases for `extraKnownMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces`
153- Enterprise policy: a url-typed `blockedMarketplaces` entry for a bare repo URL keeps blocking that URL when the CLI classifies it as a git clone
154- Gateway: the `desktop:` overlay now accepts every released Desktop setting (was 11 hand-listed keys), validated at boot against Desktop's own schema; unknown or invalid keys fail boot
155- Gateway: empty `managed.policies[].match.groups`/`admin.admin_groups` entries and malformed `email_domain` values (empty, or containing `@`, whitespace, or commas) now fail at boot instead of silently matching no one or granting admin access
156- Fable 5 is offered as an advisor in `/advisor` again for organizations with Fable access, with usage-credits consent set up through `/model fable`
157- Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass where variable-writing parameters could silently overwrite `$PSDefaultParameterValues` and redirect later commands' file access
158- Fixed a Windows permission bypass where Git Bash followed Cygwin-style symlinks that path validation saw as regular files; writes through them now require permission approval
159- Fixed nested git repositories inheriting trust from a parent directory; each repository now requires its own trust confirmation
160- Fixed MCP connections hanging for the full 30-second connect timeout when a server fails to answer or sends a malformed reply to the protocol-version probe
161- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by a bridge inside a cloud session inheriting that session's transcript or credentials
162- Fixed Remote Control sessions started from Claude Desktop or an IDE appearing as a new claude.ai session each time the local session was resumed; they now reattach to the existing one
163- Fixed Remote Control sessions appearing unreachable to newly attached clients while idle
164- Fixed Remote Control bridge sessions not restoring conversation history when the session worker restarts
165- Remote Control: resuming a conversation whose session was deleted from claude.ai or the app now starts a replacement instead of failing with a message about your login (regressed in v2.1.227)
166- Fixed Cloud gateway `/login` exiting silently or leaving an unresponsive terminal after "Press Enter to continue" when managed settings failed to load; the reason is now shown
167- Fixed voice mode on native builds getting stuck on "listening…" when the voice service rejected the connection; the rejection is now shown immediately
168- Fixed mTLS client certificate rotation requiring a restart; Claude Code now reloads the rotated cert and key automatically on connection errors
169- Fixed malformed AWS or Vertex region values being used to build request URLs; they now fall back to the default region
170- Fixed stream idle timeout errors failing the request instead of recovering on Bedrock, Vertex, and gateway deployments
171- Fixed content-sized overlays containing truncated text rendering one column too wide, and start-truncated text collapsing to an ellipsis
172- Fixed a stray garbled character where a long shell-command or agent-description preview was cut off mid-emoji
173- Fixed a startup race that could silently unregister a plugin marketplace due to concurrent writes to `known_marketplaces.json`
174- Fixed `/update` and `/tui` refusing to restart while work that survives the relaunch was running
175- Fixed usage-limit guidance suggesting unavailable slash commands in SDK and remote sessions
176- Fixed the consent message for interactive `--advisor fable` launches, which told you to run `/model fable` in an interactive session that had just exited
177- Improved fullscreen streaming: long sessions stay responsive because the whole conversation is no longer re-normalized on every update
178- Improved the managed settings approval dialog: shows endpoint URLs, uses clearer wording for telemetry-only changes, skips routine OpenTelemetry options, and requires approval for server-managed sandbox binary overrides (`sandbox.bwrapPath`, `sandbox.socatPath`, `sandbox.ripgrep`)
179- `/feedback` and `/bug` now open immediately when invoked while Claude is responding, instead of waiting for the turn to finish
180- `/plugin install plugin@marketplace` now refreshes the marketplace first, so newly published plugins install without a manual marketplace update
181- `/code-review` at high, xhigh, and max effort now runs in a background agent like the other levels
182- Pasted and clipboard images are read without blocking the event loop
183- Remote Control now keeps reconnecting for about 30 minutes after a network blip and no longer drops after a few blips spread across an hour
184- Remote Control: resuming a conversation no longer silently takes Remote Control away from another Claude Code on the same machine that still has it; run `/remote-control` there to move it
185- Updated agent panel: completed subagents hide immediately with a `/tasks` footer hint, and the "↓ N more" overflow indicator moved left for visibility
186- Remote Control: the terminal now says whether a session was taken over by another device, ended from another app, or deleted, and stops suggesting a reconnect that would undo it
187- Bash input redirections (`< file`) are now permission-checked like their argument spellings on all platforms
188- Shortened the message shown when resuming a completed background agent
189- Cowork sessions no longer inline external @-imports from user-scope memory files
190- Hardened the auto-generated cross-session messaging socket directory on shared `/tmp`: a pre-planted symlink or another user's directory is now refused instead of used
191- Hardened the Linux filesystem sandbox against a protected-path bypass
192- Changed `sandbox.ripgrep` to be honored only from user, managed, and `--settings` settings; project settings can no longer override the sandbox's ripgrep binary
193- Removed the startup tip suggesting you create custom subagents, and the matching nudge in the `/powerup` tour
194
195## 2.1.231
196
197- Fixed MCP OAuth sign-in failing with a redirect URI mismatch for servers that use a pre-registered OAuth client, such as Slack
198
199## 2.1.229
200
201- Documented `claude remote-control --continue` for resuming the most recent Remote Control session
202- Added server-supplied Claude Code hook support for self-hosted runner sessions, matching managed-environment behavior
203- Added SSE keepalive pings to gateway streaming responses during long thinking pauses, preventing idle-timeout disconnects on Vertex and Bedrock upstreams
204- Added plugin marketplace `command` sources: a local command (e.g. an IDE) prints the plugin directory, which is re-resolved each session and applied without a restart; `mode: "link"` uses it in place
205- `ListAgents` now marks disconnected Remote Control sessions as `offline` and labels your cloud sessions as `cloud`
206- Fixed long responses partly disappearing while streaming and being printed twice in the terminal
207- Fixed a crash to the error screen (including on `--resume` of the affected session) when a tool call had a non-string `glob`, `file_path`, or `command` value
208- Fixed a RangeError crash when a progress bar or markdown table rendered in a very narrow terminal window (could also crash `claude --continue`/`--resume` at startup)
209- Fixed a crash on Windows when a tool call or message referenced a file by an extended-length (`\\?\`) or UNC path
210- Fixed auto mode failing on every tool call for users who disable the attribution header via `CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER` (direct Anthropic API connections)
211- Fixed `/model` rejecting Sonnet/Opus 1M for claude.ai subscribers using a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway
212- Fixed MCP OAuth with strict authorization servers by using `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` in the redirect URI
213- Fixed Remote Control clients showing a stuck working spinner after a slash command typed in the laptop terminal
214- Fixed the Claude Code Review workflow generated by `/install-github-app` completing without posting its review on the pull request
215- Fixed multi-second UI stalls after editing a file with thousands of IDE diagnostics while the IDE extension is connected
216- Fixed one-shot `claude plugin` commands leaving a stray liveness file that could prevent cleanup of outdated plugin versions
217- Fixed dynamic workflows inside CPU-limited containers using the host machine's core count instead of the container's CPU limit
218- Fixed a file-watcher handle leak after atomic file replacements, and an uncaught error on Windows when the scheduled-tasks watcher failed on a network or virtual filesystem
219- Fixed SDK and `--input-format stream-json` sessions getting a 400 API error when a whitespace-only message was submitted
220- Fixed conversations whose messages alone exceed the API's 32 MB request limit retrying compaction when no images or documents can be stripped; they now fail once with a clear message
221- Fixed OpenTelemetry export from Claude Desktop sessions being rejected by the Desktop-managed gateway when that gateway is also the telemetry endpoint
222- Fixed self-hosted runner and other remote sessions exiting at startup when `managed-mcp.json` is deployed and the server delivers MCP servers; those servers are now skipped with a warning
223- Fixed self-hosted runner repository preparation hanging on a Git Credential Manager prompt; git now fails fast when credentials are missing
224- Improved workflow fan-outs to stagger same-prefix sibling agents so subsequent agents read the cached prompt prefix instead of re-paying it (`CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_PREFIX_STAGGER_MS=0` disables)
225- Improved "prompt is too long" errors to explain why automatic compaction could not recover instead of only suggesting `/compact`
226- Improved sandbox: IPv6 literals in network domain lists are now bracketed (`[::1]:443`), and ambiguous spellings are enforced fail-closed and flagged by `/doctor`
227- Updated `/login` to repeat the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` override warning after a successful login
228- Changed `/commit-push-pr` so git/gh commands with dangerous flags (`--force`, `--amend`, `--no-verify`, etc.) are no longer auto-approved
229- Changed self-hosted runner Windows startup to require an explicit `--base-dir`; there is no default checkout directory on Windows
230- [VSCode] "Report a problem" and `/bug` now open the built-in feedback dialog instead of a retired survey link
231- [VSCode] Made the `/btw` side-question panel resizable by dragging its boundary, in both side-docked and stacked layouts
232- [VSCode] Added session groups in the sidebar — right-click to create, rename, or delete; Cmd/Ctrl- or Shift-click to move several sessions at once
233
234## 2.1.228
235
236- Fixed interactive sessions that could stop redrawing entirely, while the process kept running, after a rare internal layout error
237- Fixed `git` / Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code is launched from a parent folder of the git installation
238- Fixed `/tui` reverting the session to an earlier model when `/model` had been changed since the last response
239- Fixed cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox in the first session after install or upgrade
240- Fixed Remote Control `/resume` while connected leaking the resumed conversation's title or history into the connected session
241- 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
242- Fixed self-hosted runners ending sessions in the gap between a background task finishing and the follow-up turn starting
243- Fixed session cleanup deleting contents inside a project's memory folder
244- Fixed background plugin-cache cleanup deleting a plugin's cache when its only version is a symlinked development checkout
245- 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
246- Fixed the deferred-tools reminder occasionally being sent to the model twice after a skill invocation
247- 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
248- 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
249- Improved Vertex AI credential handling: expired or missing Google Cloud credentials now fail within seconds instead of retrying for minutes
250- Improved compaction progress: the retry countdown and stall hint now appear during compaction instead of only a progress bar
251- Updated terminal title busy-spinner glyphs to reduce tab-bar jitter on some terminals
252- 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
253- Removed the outdated note about auto mode sessions costing slightly more from the first-use notice for Pro, Max, and Team plans
254
255## 2.1.227
256
257- 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
258- Fixed every Bash command failing under `claude-code-action` with `allowed_non_write_users` on GitHub-hosted runners
259- Fixed `/tui` bringing back a conversation that had been rewound to before its first message
260- 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
261- Improved performance: fewer event-loop stalls on file-not-found suggestions and at-mention size checks
262
263## 2.1.226
264
265- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
266
267## 2.1.225
268
269- 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)
270- Added a workspace trust prompt to `claude agents` for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of `claude`
271- 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
272- Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
273- 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
274- Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
275- Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
276- Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
277- 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
278- Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
279- 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
280- [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
281- 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
282- 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
283
284## 2.1.224
285
286- 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
287- Added `archive` plugin source: install plugins from a zip over HTTPS without git or npm, with optional SHA-256 pinning
288- Added a cancel-and-confirm step when removing an unavailable paste changes a command's text
289- Added `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX` env var for Bedrock to prefer a specific cross-region inference profile over the `AWS_REGION`-derived one
290- 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
291- 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
292- 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)
293- 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
294- Fixed `SendMessage` reporting "Message sent" when the write to a teammate's inbox had actually failed; failed deliveries are now reported as errors
295- Fixed sandbox filesystem deny entries written with a trailing slash (e.g. `denyRead: "~/.aws/"`) being silently bypassable on Linux and macOS
296- Fixed sandbox violation details never appearing in Bash tool results; Claude now sees which file or network access was denied and why
297- Fixed MCP tools that connect mid-turn being deferred for tool search without their names announced to the model
298- Fixed plugin install records being silently corrupted when the same plugin is installed in multiple projects
299- Fixed recalled or restored paste content occasionally attaching wrong data or silently losing text when the paste had aged out or placeholder numbers collided
300- Fixed copy-on-select on Wayland sometimes not reaching the clipboard; the two selection writes no longer race
301- Fixed the feedback survey's transcript share silently failing on long sessions; a failed share now shows an error instead of a success message
302- Fixed Remote Control auto-start intermittently failing with "Remote credentials fetch failed" on a cold start with a stale login token
303- Fixed Remote Control and SDK clients showing a blank "(no content)" message after `/clear` and other output-less commands
304- Fixed a Remote Control session recreated after its server session expired uploading prior local conversation history into the new session
305- Improved fullscreen mode to keep the full pre-compaction history in scrollback across repeated compactions, instead of only the most recent interval
306- 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
307- Improved Remote Control: connection failures now show a persistent failure indicator with details and a reconnect shortcut, instead of only an 8-second toast
308- Removed the 200-subagent-per-session spawn cap; long-running sessions no longer refuse new agents (concurrency and depth limits still apply)
309- Changed managed settings: the approval prompt no longer re-appears after re-login or org switching when the organization's settings are unchanged
310- 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
311- Changed the Bash tool description to always note that command output is displayed to the model, not reliably to the user
312- Changed recalled paste placeholder numbers to renumber when accepted into the input
313- 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`
314- [VSCode] Fixed the extension showing Remote Control as connected after the connection failed
315- Fixed a session resume silently reconnecting Remote Control after the user turned it off (`--resume`, SDK hosts, and the VS Code extension)
316- [VSCode] Fixed sessions not honoring `remoteControlAtStartup` when explicitly enabled
317
318## 2.1.223
319
320- Added owner wildcard entries (`"owner/*"`) to the `strictKnownMarketplaces` and `blockedMarketplaces` managed settings for allowing or blocking all marketplace repos under a GitHub org
321- 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
322- Added a `/teleport` hint in cloud sessions showing how to continue locally with `claude --teleport <session id>`
323- Fixed a Bash permission bypass where a crafted command could hide parts of itself from permission checks
324- Fixed permission prompts so commands padded with tabs or invisible Unicode can no longer hide part of the command from the approval dialog
325- Fixed workflow scripts being able to use dynamic `import()` to run code outside the workflow sandbox
326- Fixed a permission gap where an agent definition's `bypassPermissions` mode ignored the org bypass-permissions disable policy
327- Fixed resuming a session after a mid-session `/cd` coming back empty
328- Fixed gateway model discovery hiding Claude models registered under provider-prefixed IDs such as `vertex_ai/claude-*` or `bedrock/anthropic.claude-*`
329- 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
330- 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
331- Fixed sandboxed commands failing to start on Linux when `sandbox.filesystem.denyWrite` covers the working directory
332- Fixed forked background agents getting stuck "already resuming" for the rest of the session when rebuilding the fork's parent prompt failed during resume
333- 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
334- Fixed a rare hang when parsing unusual `git push` output
335- 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
336- 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
337- 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
338- Changed `/code-review` with no effort level to reuse the level you typed last; type a level like `/code-review high` to change it
339
340## 2.1.222
341
342- 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
343- Fixed PreToolUse auto-allow hooks bypassing tool restrictions in background agent tasks (summaries, compaction, renames)
344- 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
345- 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
346- Fixed "Connection closed mid-response" errors being reported on responses that had actually completed
347- 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
348- Fixed sessions not linking to pull requests created after the branch was pushed, including through the GitHub REST API
349- 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
350- Fixed stream idle timeout firing on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateways despite server keep-alive pings arriving on the wire
351- Fixed claude.ai connectors being falsely marked as needing authorization when the session token is invalid — they now show a `/login` hint instead
352- Fixed tool errors not being displayed for tools no longer available locally, for example after an MCP server is removed
353- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a long summary — it now truncates instead, so sends no longer fail on a character limit
354- 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
355- Fixed rare crashes when a file watcher hit a filesystem error or during file-watcher teardown
356- 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
357- 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
358- Improved auto mode safety: messages sent to other agent sessions via `SendMessage` are now evaluated by the permission classifier before dispatch
359- 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
360- 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
361- 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`
362- Removed ultraplan feature
363
364## 2.1.221
365
366- [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
367- 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`
368- Added warnings to `claude plugin validate` when a marketplace or plugin name would be rejected by Claude Desktop's managed marketplace sync
369- Added a `prompt-audit` subcommand to the `claude-api` skill for auditing prompts and tool descriptions for patterns written for older models
370- Fixed a Bash tool permission-check bypass where zsh could execute hidden commands in `[[ ]]` regex conditionals; affected commands now prompt for permission
371- Fixed PowerShell permission checks mishandling paths containing quote characters on Windows; such paths now prompt for approval
372- 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
373- 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
374- Fixed @-mentioned files being silently dropped when pressing Esc to retract a prompt and resubmitting it
375- Fixed a crash when preparing API requests for SDK MCP tools named after built-in object properties such as `constructor`
376- Fixed WebSearch failing with a 400 error at effort `xhigh`/`max` when thinking is disabled
377- Fixed sandboxed large uploads failing with TLS errors through the sandbox proxy
378- Fixed Team and Enterprise spend-limit message incorrectly blaming the org's monthly limit instead of your individual spend limit
379- Fixed Bedrock authentication with AWS SSO named profiles failing in desktop-managed sessions on Windows machines that set a stray `HOME` environment variable
380- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN=0` not disabling interrupted-turn auto-resume; falsy values are now honored
381- 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
382- 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
383- Fixed plugin- and org-delivered skills named after terminal-only built-ins (e.g. `/help`, `/feedback`) being un-invocable in non-interactive sessions
384- Fixed the "Plugins changed" notification lingering after plugins were reloaded instead of clearing
385- Fixed Vim mode: the yank register now survives dialogs, history search, and the transcript view instead of being silently emptied
386- Fixed Vim mode: undoing back to an empty prompt now arms the "press ← again" confirm before returning to the agent view
387- Improved tool search on Google Vertex AI: re-enabled for Claude 4.5-generation and newer models
388- 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
389- Reduced prompt-cache costs for auto-mode permission checks by reusing the cached conversation prefix across decisions
390- Improved Stats panel to count cache tokens in its token totals, with a breakdown by input, output, cache read, and cache write
391- 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
392- 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
393- 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
394- Changed `/plugin install` to refresh a stale marketplace catalog and retry before reporting a plugin not found
395- Changed plugins installed from `/plugin` to activate immediately when safe, instead of always requiring `/reload-plugins`
396- Changed plugins to accept `"."` as a `skills` path, and the root-level `SKILL.md` validation error now suggests using the plugin root
397- Changed `/status` to show the session kind: `interactive`, or a background job that is `attached` or `unattended`
398- Changed emoji autocomplete to accept common alternate shortcodes like `:thumbsup:`, `:thumbsdown:`, and `:love:`
399- Changed sessions forked with `/fork` to create a new worktree of their own instead of working in the original session's checkout
400- Changed Claude in Chrome to close the browser tabs it opens once it no longer needs them
401- Changed fast mode to report on the stream when usage credits run out mid-session, instead of failing silently
402- Changed Monitor: a watch that exits without producing any output now says so instead of reporting "stream ended"
403- Changed the Gateway `model` field validation: non-string values are rejected with a 400 instead of being forwarded
404- Removed the repeated "Permission mode changed while the auto-mode classifier call was queued" notice from approval prompts
405
406## 2.1.220
407
408- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
409
410## 2.1.219
411
412- Added Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, fast mode at $10/$50 per Mtok
413- Added `sandbox.network.strictAllowlist` setting to deny non-allowlisted hosts for sandboxed commands without prompting
414- Added `DirectoryAdded` hook that fires after `/add-dir` or the SDK `register_repo_root` control request registers a new working directory mid-session
415- 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
416- 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
417- 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
418- Fixed `claude -p` text output dropping the answer already produced when a turn dies on a mid-stream API error
419- 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
420- Fixed the Fable model row showing "Requires usage credits" for plans that include it, when a stale cache had baked the label in
421- Fixed the `/model` picker showing the merged Opus row as plain "Opus" instead of "Opus (1M context)"
422- Fixed copy-on-select inside GNU screen printing base64 into the terminal instead of copying the selection
423- Fixed Remote Control clients keeping a stale fast-mode status after a model switch, reconnect, or failed org check
424- 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
425- Fixed Vim mode: pressing ← on an empty prompt now returns to the agent view from NORMAL mode, not just INSERT
426- Fixed screen-reader mode rewriting the entire input line on every keystroke instead of echoing only the typed character
427- Improved the "Remote Control is only available via api.anthropic.com" error to name the specific setting that caused it
428- Improved `claude --teleport` to show which repo your current checkout points at when it doesn't match the session's repo
429- 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`
430- Changed managed MCP allowlist/denylist `${VAR}` entries to resolve from the startup environment and managed-settings env instead of settings-file env
431- 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
432- Added the current default workflow size to the running-workflow status line, with a pointer to `/config` for changing it
433- Removed Opus 4.7 from fast mode; `/fast` now applies to Opus 5 and Opus 4.8
434- Updated the claude-api skill to default to Claude Opus 5, with a migration path from Opus 4.8
435- 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
436
437## 2.1.218
438
439- 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
440- 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
441- Fixed Windows paths with `\u`-prefixed segments (like `C:\Users\unicorn`) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
442- 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
443- Fixed multi-line paste collapsing into one line with `j` in place of newlines in terminals that encode pasted newlines as Ctrl+J
444- Fixed `/context` reporting stale pre-compact token usage after compacting from the message picker
445- 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
446- Fixed `/code-review ultra` silently running a local review in non-interactive sessions — it now launches the cloud review
447- Fixed gateway spend metering to price Bedrock application-inference-profile ARNs and other config-mapped upstream model IDs at the configured model's rates
448- Fixed mojibake when a long IDE selection was truncated mid-emoji, and a case where a tool executor error could be silently dropped
449- Fixed an engine teardown race that could start and abandon a phantom turn, and made input pushed after close consistently rejected
450- 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
451- Fixed VoiceOver reading "new line" instead of echoing the typed space at the end of the input in `--ax-screen-reader` mode
452- Fixed plugin and settings panels not moving the terminal cursor to the focused row, so screen readers and magnifiers can follow arrow-key navigation
453- Fixed crashes (maximum call stack exceeded) when a deeply nested watched directory tree was deleted or moved, and when rendering deeply nested UI trees
454- Fixed pull request events occasionally being lost when a session exited immediately after creating or linking a PR
455- Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard failing profile verification for assume-role profiles in partitioned AWS regions and on proxy-only networks
456- Fixed rare negative or incorrect turn duration measurements after a system clock adjustment by timing turns with a monotonic clock
457- Fixed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice over-counting claude.ai connectors that aren't connected in claude.ai
458- Fixed prompt history entries being dropped or duplicated when history writes raced or failed
459- 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
460- Fixed agent frontmatter hooks running from untrusted folders: hooks now require the agent file's own folder to have accepted workspace trust
461- Fixed fork-session lineage being lost after compaction in headless and SDK sessions
462- Fixed a resumed session failing every turn, or crashing on resume, when its history held a malformed delta attachment
463- Improved `/ultrareview` error feedback so Claude can correct an invalid argument instead of retrying it unchanged
464- Improved auto mode: the dangerous-rm, background-`&`, and suspicious-Windows-path checks no longer open permission dialogs; the auto-mode classifier adjudicates them instead
465- Improved sandbox command restrictions for IDE interactions
466- Improved trust dialogs to name the repository root the grant covers
467- Changed `/deep-research` to start only when invoked manually; Claude no longer launches it on its own
468- 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
469- Added an announcement when fast mode changes as a result of switching models via `/config model=<x>` or Remote Control
470- Changed server-managed settings so benign feature and cost toggles no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
471- Changed agent markdown files to reject agent names containing `:`, which is reserved for plugin namespacing
472- Changed skills with `context: fork` to run in the background by default; opt out per skill with `background: false`
473- Added `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off`/`1`/`0` (case-insensitive) as accepted values for skill and plugin frontmatter booleans, alongside `true`/`false`
474- 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
475
476## 2.1.217
477
478- Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting
479- 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
480- Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session
481- Fixed Windows auto-update failures that could leave `claude.exe` missing; failed updates now restore the preserved executable automatically
482- Fixed background session isolation not canonicalizing symlinked working directories, which could let sessions escape their workspace folder
483- Fixed auto-compact never triggering for Claude Opus 4.8 on Bedrock and `/compact` failing once over the limit
484- Fixed corporate mTLS, TLS-verify, OAuth scope, and proxy settings being ignored in Claude Desktop sessions
485- 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
486- 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
487- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` and `/resume` failing with a TypeError when a transcript has a malformed attachment entry
488- Fixed Remote Control sessions not showing a pending permission prompt or dialog to viewers that connected after it appeared
489- 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
490- 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
491- 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
492- 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
493- Changed the login-expiry warning to appear 3 days before expiry instead of 5
494- Capped the frontend-design plugin suggestion tip at 3 lifetime impressions instead of repeating indefinitely
495- 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
496- Changed subagents to no longer spawn nested subagents by default; set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to allow deeper nesting
497- Fixed `--max-budget-usd` not stopping background subagents: once the cap is reached, new spawns are denied and running background agents are halted
498
499## 2.1.216
500
501- Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control
502- Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes
503- Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session
504- Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first — free-text answers now get neutral wording
505- Fixed Claude Code on the web re-asking the same question and dropping your answer after the session sat idle for a few minutes
506- 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
507- Fixed resumed background agent sessions reverting to the default agent: the agent's prompt and tool restrictions are now restored
508- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents redirecting git into the shared checkout via `git -C`, `--git-dir`, or `GIT_DIR`/`GIT_WORK_TREE`
509- Fixed worktree sessions landing in another project's leftover worktree when the working directory did not match the selected project
510- Fixed background sessions whose worktree has no git repository being undeletable
511- Fixed `claude daemon stop --any` potentially terminating an unrelated process via a stale legacy daemon lockfile
512- Fixed Esc-Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind picker in long-running sessions with background tasks
513- Fixed Bash command permission checking for compound statements with redirects inside `&&` lists or negations
514- Fixed pressing Ctrl+X twice in the agent list failing to delete a session, and deleted sessions reappearing when their background worker had died
515- Fixed background subagents getting cancelled when a high-priority message arrives during their startup window
516- 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
517- Fixed Claude-in-Chrome 403-looping on reconnect when the session's OAuth token lacks a required scope
518- Fixed workflow saves and scheduled-task writes following a symlink at `.claude`, which could redirect writes outside the project
519- 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
520- Fixed read-only commands on Windows accessing network paths without a permission prompt
521- Fixed Bash command parsing of non-ASCII characters to match real shell word boundaries
522- Fixed PowerShell tool permission validation of commands containing invisible Unicode characters
523- Fixed dialogs in fullscreen mode stretching past the right-hand edge of their panel
524- Fixed the `/config` settings list in fullscreen mode clipping its keyboard-hint footer
525- Fixed the transcript-mode (Ctrl+O) footer hint wrapping on terminals narrower than 104 columns
526- Fixed the Prometheus metrics endpoint (`OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus`) emitting invalid `# UNIT` lines
527- Fixed skills and commands changed during a session not appearing in the slash menu until restart
528- Fixed plugin skills with a `name` frontmatter field losing their plugin prefix in slash-command autocomplete
529- 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
530- 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
531- Improved validation of `git` and `gh` command arguments in the PowerShell tool
532- Improved the `/ultrareview` diff-too-large error to show configured limits, measured diff size, and largest contributing files
533- Improved `/code-review ultra` empty-diff message to name the exact base ref and suggest passing an explicit base
534- Improved the spend limit adjustment prompt to show the server's reason when a spend limit change is rejected
535- `/context` now shows an explicit warning when the conversation exceeds the context window, and a failed `/compact` displays as an error
536- `/rewind` no longer restores or deletes files through symlinks or hard links at tracked paths and reports how many paths it skipped
537- Background sessions: `/mcp` and `/install-github-app` now park a "needs input" request in the agent view when no client is attached
538- Updated the bundled dataviz skill: reordered the default chart palette and fixed guidance that suggested direct labels for four-series charts
539- [VSCode] Fixed right-to-left text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering in the wrong order when mixed with English or code
540- 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
541
542## 2.1.215
543
544- Claude no longer runs the `/verify` and `/code-review` skills on its own; invoke them with `/verify` or `/code-review` when you want them
545
546## 2.1.214
547
548- 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`
549- Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions
550- Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer
551- Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically
552- Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in `[[ ]]` comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval
553- Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain `help` and `man` commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths
554- Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog
555- 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
556- Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent
557- Added an ISO `modified` timestamp to memory file frontmatter
558- Added `message.uuid`, `client_request_id`, and `tool_source` attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance
559- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH` to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes
560- Added reasoning effort to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort
561- 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
562- Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags
563- Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a `pkill -f` pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)
564- 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
565- Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows
566- 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
567- Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task
568- Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)
569- Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)
570- 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)
571- Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting `where.exe`, `fc.exe`, and `diff.exe` as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)
572- Fixed `>` and `>>` under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8
573- Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon
574- Fixed background sessions parked with `←` or `/background` and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely
575- Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via `claude rm` or the agent view once the background service had gone idle
576- Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view
577- Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store
578- Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled
579- 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
580- Fixed plugins enabled via the `--settings` CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)
581- Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates
582- Fixed `/ultrareview` refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files
583- Fixed `claude update` and `claude doctor` hanging silently, and the `/status` System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory
584- Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline `#` when memory files are saved
585- Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative `message_delta` frames
586- Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking
587- Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation
588- Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context
589- Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources
590- 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
591- 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.
592- Changed `file` commands using `-m`/`--magic-file` or `-f`/`--files-from` to require permission instead of being auto-allowed as read-only
593- Changed keep-alive connection pooling to disable after a stale-connection error, so retries open a fresh socket
594- Changed SessionStart hooks to report source `"fork"` when a session begins as a fork instead of `"resume"`
595
596## 2.1.212
597
598- `/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`
599- Added `claude auto-mode reset` to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass `--yes` to skip)
600- 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
601- 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
602- 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`
603- 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
604- Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. `touch`, `rm`) without a permission prompt or SDK `canUseTool` callback
605- Fixed worktree creation following a repository-committed symlink at `.claude/worktrees`, which could create files outside the repository
606- 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
607- 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
608- 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
609- Fixed shell mode (`!`) not executing commands containing file paths while the path autocomplete popup was open
610- Fixed auto-mode denial notifications rendering broken characters when a long denial reason was truncated mid-emoji
611- 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
612- Fixed `/ultrareview` rejecting PR references like `#123`, `PR 123`, and pasted PR URLs; error hints now name the command you actually typed
613- Fixed `/ultrareview <branch>` not fetching the branch from origin when it exists remotely; it now suggests the closest branch name on typos
614- Fixed `/ultrareview` skipping the billing confirmation in a new conversation after `/clear`
615- Fixed `/ultrareview`'s "not a git repository" error on Claude Desktop now suggesting the project's repository folder instead of terminal commands
616- 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
617- 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
618- Fixed `ExitWorktree` failing with "no active EnterWorktree session" after resuming a session with `--continue`/`--resume` in print/SDK mode
619- Fixed the workflow agent grid staying empty for Remote Control clients that join a session mid-run
620- Fixed streaming-mode control requests being marked complete before their handler finished, which could lose the request on session restart
621- Fixed background sessions created with `/fork` losing their live-parent protection after a state write failure
622- 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
623- Fixed agent teams: a stopping teammate could send the leader duplicate idle notifications when team initialization re-ran within a session
624- Fixed the plan-approval dialog footer splitting "ctrl+g to edit in <editor>" apart when the file path is long
625- Fixed the welcome banner keeping its old panel widths after a combined width+height terminal resize in fullscreen mode
626- Fixed diff previews losing their line numbers and +/- markers in narrow layouts
627- Fixed @-mentions attaching nothing after a partial file read, plugin uninstall targeting the wrong marketplace, and false "Command timed out" on exit code 143
628- Fixed OpenTelemetry HTTP exports being rejected with 411/400 by Azure Monitor and other endpoints that don't accept chunked transfer encoding
629- Fixed OTLP event log records missing `trace_id`/`span_id` when `TRACEPARENT` is set in SDK/headless mode
630- Fixed conversations with many images incorrectly failing with "Request too large" errors, and improved the error message to explain the actual cause
631- Fixed web search and web fetch returning "API Error" text as search results or page content when the API was overloaded
632- Improved web search and web fetch reliability by retrying 529 errors and rate-limited requests with bounded backoff
633- Improved prompt caching: the mid-conversation system block now works behind LLM gateways and custom base URLs (Bedrock, Vertex, 1P)
634- Improved background agent attach: cold-attaching now instantly shows the formatted transcript while the session boots, instead of a blank wait
635- Reduced token usage in inter-agent messaging: `SendMessage` bodies are no longer duplicated into replayed history and tool results
636- Changed `/fork` to name the copy after your prompt when the session has no title, so the row is recognizable in the agent view
637- Changed bare `/btw` to reopen the side-question panel on your most recent exchange so you can browse earlier answers
638- Changed the `←` footer hint to pulse `N done` for a moment when a background agent finishes while nothing needs your input
639- Deprecated the Task tool's `mode` parameter (now ignored); subagents inherit the parent session's permission mode by default
640- Changed Enterprise `forceLoginMethod` to be enforced for VS Code extension, SDK, `setup-token`, and `install-github-app` logins, not just the terminal
641- Changed session transcripts to record the reasoning effort level on each assistant message
642- 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
643- 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"
644- Updated the auth status panel title from "Cloud authentication" to "Authentication"
645- Corrected an earlier release note (2.1.200): tmux through the 3.6 series lacks synchronized output; newer tmux with support is detected automatically
646
647## 2.1.211
648
649- Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output
650- 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
651- Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt
652- Fixed parallel Claude Code sessions all logging out simultaneously after wake-from-sleep when many sessions share one credential store
653- Fixed plugin MCP servers not reconnecting after an idle web session woke, leaving MCP calls failing until the next message
654- 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
655- Fixed subagents spawned with an explicit model override reverting to the parent's model when resumed or sent a follow-up message
656- Fixed nested `.claude/rules/*.md` files loading even when setting sources exclude project settings
657- 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
658- Fixed file uploads to Claude in Chrome from remote and CLI sessions
659- Fixed edits that leave the input as "?" being silently swallowed and toggling the shortcuts panel
660- Fixed a startup hang when the Claude in Chrome extension is enabled but Chrome is not running
661- Fixed a 300ms delay revealing async content (Settings tabs, Stats, diff views, and other loading states)
662- Fixed reopening a just-stopped background session from the agents view starting a blank conversation under the same session id
663- Fixed `/loop` hiding the session from `/resume` after a single use
664- Fixed screen reader users losing the audible terminal bell after `/terminal-setup` or onboarding terminal setup
665- Fixed background jobs on LLM gateway auth (`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` + `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) coming back "Not logged in" after the daemon respawns them
666- 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
667- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the session cost counter — the statusline's cost now starts at $0 after `/clear`
668- Fixed Claude in Chrome setup pages failing to open in the browser on Windows
669- Fixed headless print-mode sessions on Windows crashing or silently exiting when stdin is unreadable
670- Fixed background session titles in the agents view showing the naming model's refusal text when the prompt contains a link
671- Fixed background agents killed by the user auto-respawning, and revived agents re-running stale prompts from old sessions
672- Fixed routines with no schedule reporting a next run time in the year 1
673- Hardened synced skill/plugin directory naming on Windows and kept CCR web fetch/search proxies working after `/clear`
674- Improved terminal layout and rendering performance
675- Improved background agent result reporting — Claude now reports the status of still-running agents and waits for the real completion instead of fabricating results
676- Improved the memory index over-limit warning to measure only loaded content, excluding frontmatter and HTML comments
677- Updated integer environment variables (timeouts, token budgets, retry counts) to accept scientific notation and digit-separator spellings like `1e6` and `64_000`
678- Updated documentation links to the current docs sites
679- Changed "always allow" permission rules to save at the repository root, so approvals granted in a git worktree persist across sessions and worktrees
680- Changed `/usage-credits` to ask for confirmation before sending a request to organization admins
681- Changed Vim mode `s` and `S` (substitute char/line) to work in NORMAL mode, matching vim behavior
682- [VSCode] Updated the Remote Control banner to describe what it does
683- Claude in Chrome: hardened file-upload path validation
684- Claude in Chrome: `save_to_disk` on screenshot actions now writes the image to disk and returns the path; previously it did nothing
685- 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.
686
687## 2.1.210
688
689- Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck
690- Added a startup warning for `Write(path)`, `NotebookEdit(path)`, and `Glob(path)` permission rules — use `Edit(path)` or `Read(path)` instead
691- Fixed `isolation: 'worktree'` subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree
692- Fixed the `ultracode` keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated input such as webhook payloads and relayed PR comments
693- Fixed a rendered text fragment leaking into crash telemetry when a UI component returned content outside a styled text element
694- Fixed paste markers leaking into external editors opened from Claude Code, which could appear as stray È/É characters around pasted text
695- 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
696- Fixed a session crash when a tool's result renderer returned a numeric bigint value or plain text instead of a UI element
697- Fixed a hook callback timeout being misreported to the model as a user rejection, which made unattended sessions stop and wait
698- 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
699- Fixed plugin-provided MCP servers being torn down when MCP servers are re-synced mid-session
700- Fixed plan approvals without edits being labeled "(edited by user)" and overwriting the plan file with a stale snapshot
701- Fixed `/doctor` skipping its auto-mode-default proposal on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, where auto mode no longer needs an opt-in
702- Fixed Grep content mode claiming "No matches found" when paginating past the end of results
703- Fixed unmatched `$1`/`$2` positional placeholders in skills and commands being silently stripped; they are now preserved verbatim
704- Fixed plugin cache writes leaving temp files behind on failure and failing on locked-file renames on Windows and network filesystems
705- Fixed background workers crash-looping when a client resets its connection to the background service
706- Fixed `claude agents --effort ultracode` not reaching dispatched sessions; the value was silently dropped
707- Fixed pressing ← to open the agents view dropping the task tracker when returning to the session
708- Fixed the agents dashboard retaining pasted images from abandoned reply drafts after their session was deleted
709- Fixed killed background sessions leaving a permanent `git worktree lock` behind; the periodic sweep now releases locks whose owning process is gone
710- Fixed SDK MCP servers registered via an `initialize` control request waiting until the next turn to start connecting
711- Fixed returning to the agents view from a session leaving overlapping ghost frames with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1`
712- Fixed late-appearing `.claude/*` symlinks not being reconciled into the sandbox deny-write list
713- Hardened the Agent tool against indirect prompt injection via content a subagent read
714- 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
715- 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
716- Improved the bundled dataviz skill's chart color validation with perceptual OKLab color difference and recalibrated color-blindness thresholds
717- Memory writes that leave a MEMORY.md index over its read limit now produce an explicit error instead of silent truncation
718- Screen reader mode now announces permission mode changes aloud when cycling modes with Shift+Tab
719- The agents footer hint now shows how many background agents are waiting on your input, with a brief color emphasis when the count changes
720- Agent view: the session you pressed ← from stays visibly marked even after mouse hover or arrow keys move the selection
721- Fable temporarily shows as unavailable in the advisor picker while a server-side issue causing Fable advisor failures is fixed
722
723## 2.1.209
724
725- Fixed /model and other dialogs being blocked in `claude agents` background sessions (reverts an overly broad guard)
726
727## 2.1.208
728
729- 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.
730- Added `vimInsertModeRemaps` setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like `jj` to Escape in vim mode
731- 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
732- Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and "Other" input rows in fullscreen mode
733- Changed the Fable 5 usage-credits consent prompt to start with the decline option focused
734- Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings
735- Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts
736- 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
737- 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
738- Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight
739- Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from `claude -p`
740- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (`1e6` became `1`)
741- 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
742- Fixed the Edit tool failing on files modified after reading when the target text still matches uniquely
743- 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
744- 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
745- 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
746- Fixed `/upgrade` showing a login flow instead of the upgrade URL when the browser fails to open
747- Fixed stream-json input killing the session on blank CRLF or whitespace-only lines from Windows-style SDK hosts
748- 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
749- Fixed repeated "No completion record was found" notices on session resume — orphaned background tasks now collapse into a single summary
750- Fixed Remote Control clients attaching to a terminal-hosted session not seeing background agents and workflow progress until a task started or stopped
751- 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
752- Fixed `/usage` showing stale cached bars over fresher data, and `/mcp` not reclassifying placeholder servers after config edits
753- 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
754- Fixed the workflow save dialog showing `~/.claude/workflows/` instead of the `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` location for user-scope saves
755- Fixed `/release-notes` adding the viewed notes to the model's context — "Show all" previously injected the entire changelog into every subsequent request
756- Fixed a memory leak in the agent view where pasted images were retained for the screen's lifetime after sending peek replies
757- Fixed SDK sessions losing agents defined via the initialize request when a plugin refresh ran before the client attached
758- 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
759- 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
760- Fixed multi-second per-turn slowdowns in sessions with many permission deny/ask rules — rule matchers are now compiled once and cached
761- Improved input responsiveness while agent task lists update — task updates no longer re-render the entire UI
762- 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)
763- Reduced memory usage by bounding the file edit read cache to 16 MB instead of pinning up to 1,000 full files
764- Reduced session transcript size (up to 79x in edit-heavy sessions) and bounded checkpoint disk usage by pruning superseded file-history backups
765- Reduced memory usage when resuming sessions with background agents or forks spawned from large conversations
766- Completed background agents now stay listed in `/tasks` until cleanup instead of vanishing the moment they finish
767- Attaching to a stopped background agent now shows its transcript immediately while the session warms up, instead of a blank "Session is starting" screen
768- Background sessions: an older daemon no longer silently restarts workers spawned by a newer version onto the older binary
769- 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
770- Catastrophic removals (e.g. `rm -rf ~`) in commands containing `$(…)`/backticks/`<(…)` now prompt in `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and auto mode, matching the plain form
771- `/install-github-app` and the `/mcp` settings menu no longer open in background sessions
772- MCP servers configured with an empty URL now show as "not configured" in `/mcp` instead of a config error
773- `/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
774- 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)
775
776## 2.1.207
777
778- Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings
779- Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
780- 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
781- Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
782- 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
783- Fixed compound commands with `cd` prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to `/dev/null`
784- Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
785- 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
786- Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, `.ignore`, and `.worktreeinclude` breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
787- 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
788- Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
789- Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
790- Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
791- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
792- Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname
793- Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
794- Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of adding a second one
795- 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
796- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
797- Changed auto mode to no longer read `autoMode` from `.claude/settings.local.json` (repo-resident); use `~/.claude/settings.json` instead
798- 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.
799- 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).
800- Plugin option values (`pluginConfigs`) are no longer read from project-level `.claude/settings.json`; only user, `--settings`, and managed settings are honored
801- 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
802
803## 2.1.206
804
805- Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior
806- Added a `/doctor` check that proposes trimming checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
807- `/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`
808- Gateway: `/login` now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
809- `EnterWorktree` now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project's `.claude/worktrees/` directory
810- 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
811- 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`
812- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` not responding to keyboard input on startup
813- 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
814- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` being silently ignored by `claude agents` / `--bg` background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
815- Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
816- Fixed `--permission-prompt-tool` pointing at an MCP server crashing with "MCP tool not found" on cold start before the server finishes connecting
817- 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
818- Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the `/model` picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
819- Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing "running" after a slash command was sent mid-turn
820- Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare `claude --resume` on Windows
821- Fixed `claude rm` leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in `claude agents`
822- Fixed `/remote-control` showing "Unknown command" when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
823- Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
824- Fixed `/status` listing the same broken-install warning twice
825- Fixed false "disused plugin" tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
826- Fixed `/doctor`'s update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask's channel instead of the settings channel
827- Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
828- Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an `awsCredentialExport` helper on networks with restricted egress
829- Improved `/code-review` findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
830- Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
831- Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted
832
833## 2.1.205
834
835- Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
836- Fixed `--json-schema` silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the `format` keyword being rejected
837- Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the `--max-turns` limit
838- Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
839- Fixed background agents staying shown as "failed" or "completed" in the agent list after being resumed with `SendMessage`
840- Fixed background jobs flipping from "needs input" back to "working" in the agent list when the agent's turn contained no readable text
841- Fixed `claude attach` erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
842- Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
843- 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
844- Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
845- Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
846- Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
847- Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
848- Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
849- Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale "Running" status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
850- Improved auto mode to ask before running `rm -rf` on a variable it can't resolve from context
851- Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater's peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
852- Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
853- Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in `claude agents`
854- 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
855- `/doctor` is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; `/checkup` is its alias
856- 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
857- Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with "Not logged in · Please run /login" on CLI 2.1.203+
858
859## 2.1.204
860
861- Fixed hook events not streaming during SessionStart hooks in headless sessions, which could cause remote workers to be idle-reaped mid-hook
862
863## 2.1.203
864
865- Added a warning when your login is about to expire, so you can re-authenticate before background sessions are interrupted
866- Added a grey ⏸ badge to the footer when in manual permission mode, making the active mode always visible
867- Added the session's additional working directories to MCP `roots/list`, with `notifications/roots/list_changed` sent when the set changes
868- 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)
869- Fixed background sessions becoming permanently unresponsive to attach, replies, and stop when the daemon's session token went stale — the session now recovers automatically
870- Fixed returning to `claude agents` silently stopping running subagents and re-running the prompt from scratch — their work now carries over
871- 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
872- Fixed background agents inheriting a stale `PATH` from the daemon instead of the dispatching shell, causing missing tools on Windows
873- 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
874- Fixed Bash failing with "argument list too long" in repos with many git worktrees
875- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents sometimes running shell commands in the parent checkout instead of their own worktree
876- Fixed worktree creation rejecting nested repositories in multi-repo workspaces, leaving background sessions unable to isolate and edit
877- 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
878- Fixed a background daemon auto-upgrade failure silently killing all running background sessions
879- Fixed `TaskStop` and `TaskOutput` failing to find background agents spawned by another agent — errors now list running agents by id and description
880- Fixed the `claude agents` composer discarding your typed message when a slash command isn't available there
881- Fixed the agent list crashing when opening a stopped session whose conversation was already open in another session
882- Fixed background sessions showing "Needs input" in the agent list after the question was already answered
883- Fixed background agent startup failures showing only "exit_with_message" instead of the actual error
884- Fixed background sessions ignoring `effortLevel` changes in settings.json when forked through the daemon
885- Fixed attached background sessions ignoring `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` opt-outs
886- Fixed `/exit` incorrectly warning about running background agents after all named agents had completed
887- Fixed background sessions started from a non-git directory unable to edit files when a `WorktreeCreate` hook was configured
888- Fixed the `@` directory picker in `claude agents` not showing registered git worktrees
889- Fixed background task output on Windows being permanently replaced by an empty file after `/clear`
890- Fixed content jumping when scrolling up through long transcript history
891- Fixed the terminal flickering and jumping while typing in bash mode when a shell-history suggestion was shown
892- Fixed literal `^[[I` / `^[[O` escape codes being printed when reattaching to a background session
893- Fixed LSP-only plugins being incorrectly flagged for disuse when their language servers deliver diagnostics or answer navigation requests
894- Improved responsiveness while long responses stream: live-preview updates no longer re-render the whole screen
895- Improved subagent behavior: agents are now less likely to re-delegate their entire task to another subagent
896- Reduced binary size by ~7 MB and startup memory by ~7 MB by loading a large bundled dependency lazily instead of inlining it
897- Changed left arrow to no longer close the background tasks, diff, and workflow detail views — press Esc instead
898- Changed the empty `claude agents` view to always show the organized sections (Needs input / Working / Completed) with descriptions
899- Removed the startup "claude command missing or broken" warnings — they now appear in `/doctor` and `/status` instead
900- Removed a redundant navigation hint from the `claude agents` footer
901- [VSCode] Added a Settings toggle for "Enable Remote Control for all sessions"
902
903## 2.1.202
904
905- 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
906- 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
907- Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning the history file
908- Fixed `/rename` on background sessions being reverted when the job restarts, which broke addressing the session by its new name
909- Fixed transient mTLS handshake failures when settings were re-applied during an in-place client certificate rotation
910- Fixed commands sent from Remote Control (mobile/web) into an interactive session failing with "Unknown command"
911- Fixed images and files sent from the Remote Control mobile or web app without a caption being silently dropped
912- 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
913- Fixed opening a chat from `claude agents` sometimes failing with "currently running as a background agent" followed by a worker crash/respawn loop
914- 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
915- Fixed voice dictation retrying in an unbounded loop when the microphone or audio recorder fails — repeated capture failures now pause voice input
916- Fixed `/remote-control` sessions showing the wrong permission mode in the mobile and web apps
917- 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
918- Fixed installer and updater downloads failing immediately with "aborted" when a proxy or network drops the connection mid-download — transient connection drops now retry
919- Fixed re-invoking an already-loaded skill appending a duplicate copy of its instructions to context
920- Improved `/workflows` agent list layout: wider titles, a dedicated time column, shorter model names, and no per-row tool-call counts
921- 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"
922- 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
923
924## 2.1.201
925
926- Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders
927
928## 2.1.200
929
930- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
931- 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`
932- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
933- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
934- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
935- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
936- 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
937- 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
938- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
939- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
940- 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`
941- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
942- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
943- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
944- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
945- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
946- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
947
948## 2.1.199
949
950- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
951- 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
952- 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
953- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
954- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
955- 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
956- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
957- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
958- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
959- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
960- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
961- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
962- 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
963- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
964- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
965- 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
966- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
967- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
968- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
969- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
970- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
971- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
972- `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`
973- `claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
974
975## 2.1.198
976
977- 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)
978- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
979- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
980- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
981- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
982- 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
983- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
984- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
985- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
986- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
987- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
988- 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
989- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
990- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
991- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
992- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
993- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
994- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
995- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
996- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
997- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
998- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
999- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
1000- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
1001- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
1002- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
1003- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
1004- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
1005- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
1006- 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
1007- `/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
1008- 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
1009- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
1010
1011## 2.1.197
1012
1013- 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
1014
1015## 2.1.196
1016
1017- 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
1018- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
1019- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
1020- 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`
1021- 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
1022- 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
1023- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
1024- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
1025- 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
1026- 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
1027- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
1028- 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
1029- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
1030- 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
1031- 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
1032- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
1033- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
1034- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
1035- 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
1036- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
1037- 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
1038- 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
1039- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
1040- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
1041- 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.
1042- 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`
1043- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
1044
1045## 2.1.195
1046
1047- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
1048- 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.
1049- Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
1050- Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
1051- Fixed external plugins enabled only by project `.claude/settings.json` not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path
1052- Fixed `/plugin` Enable/Disable not working when a plugin's `plugin.json` `name` differs from its marketplace entry name
1053- Fixed background jobs disappearing from `claude agents` or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
1054- Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
1055- Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
1056- Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes "no microphone" from "SoX not installed" when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
1057- Improved `claude agents` completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
1058- Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts
1059
1060## 2.1.193
1061
1062- Added `autoMode.classifyAllShell` setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
1063- Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and `/permissions` recent denials
1064- 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.
1065- Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (`!`)
1066- Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at `/mcp`
1067- Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1`)
1068- Fixed `/model` and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after `/login`
1069- Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
1070- Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
1071- Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
1072- Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
1073- Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
1074- Improved MCP `headersHelper` auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
1075- Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace `renames` maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
1076- Improved `/add-dir` message when the directory is already a working directory
1077
1078## 2.1.191
1079
1080- Added `/rewind` support for resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run
1081- Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
1082- Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent
1083- Fixed `/voice` showing a generic "not available" message when disabled by an organization's policy — it now explains the restriction
1084- Fixed `/login` URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
1085- Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
1086- Fixed `claude agents` sending builtin slash commands like `/usage` to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
1087- Fixed `claude agents` job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the `[Image #N]` placeholder
1088- Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. `"Bash,PowerShell"`) silently never firing
1089- Fixed `/permissions` Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
1090- Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
1091- Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
1092- 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
1093- 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
1094- Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (`tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list`) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
1095- 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
1096- Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
1097- Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL `/`) to hint how to reach slash commands
1098- Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
1099- Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache
1100
1101## 2.1.190
1102
1103- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1104
1105## 2.1.187
1106
1107- Added `sandbox.credentials` setting to block sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables
1108- 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
1109- Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, `/model`, `/config`, etc.) in fullscreen mode
1110- Fixed `--resume` failing with "No conversation found" when the original `-p` run produced no model turns
1111- 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
1112- 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`)
1113- Fixed Claude Code Remote sessions taking ~2.7s longer to start after the agent proxy CA system-trust install was added
1114- Fixed pasted Korean/CJK text turning into mojibake in terminals that deliver paste as per-byte extended-key events
1115- Fixed `/update` over Remote Control hanging when a startup trust dialog would have shown
1116- Fixed background jobs in the agents view getting stuck in "working" indefinitely when the agent ended a turn without producing structured output
1117- Fixed channel connections dropping after navigating to the agents view and back, and after `/bg`, `/tui`, or `/update`
1118- Fixed agent stop notifications not correctly attributing who stopped the agent, and improved wording ("finished"/"stopped" instead of "came to rest")
1119- Fixed subagent depth tracking: resumed subagents now restore their original spawn depth, and forked subagents now count toward the depth cap
1120- Fixed leaked agent worktree registrations: locked `.git/worktrees/` entries from killed agents are now cleaned up automatically
1121- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
1122- Fixed `claude --help` not listing the `--bg`/`--background` flag
1123- Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while `/share` is uploading
1124- Improved `/install-github-app`: GitHub Actions workflow setup is now optional — you can install just the GitHub App and skip the workflow/secret steps
1125- Improved `/btw` with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
1126- Improved `/plugin` to surface plugins you haven't used recently so you can clean them up
1127- [VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session
1128
1129## 2.1.186
1130
1131- 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
1132- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view
1133- Added a "Skills" section to the `/plugin` Installed tab
1134- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
1135- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
1136- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
1137- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
1138- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
1139- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
1140- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
1141- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
1142- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
1143- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
1144- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
1145- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
1146- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
1147- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
1148- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
1149- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
1150- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
1151- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
1152- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
1153- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
1154- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
1155- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
1156- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
1157- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
1158- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
1159- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
1160- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
1161- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
1162- 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
1163- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
1164
1165## 2.1.185
1166
1167- 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
1168
1169## 2.1.183
1170
1171- 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
1172- 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
1173- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
1174- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
1175- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
1176- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
1177- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
1178- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
1179- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
1180- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
1181- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
1182- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
1183- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
1184- 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
1185- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
1186- 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
1187- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
1188
1189## 2.1.181
1190
1191- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
1192- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
1193- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
1194- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
1195- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
1196- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
1197- 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
1198- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
1199- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
1200- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
1201- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
1202- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
1203- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
1204- 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
1205- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
1206- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
1207- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
1208- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
1209- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
1210- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
1211- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
1212- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
1213- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
1214- 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`
1215- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
1216- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
1217- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
1218- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
1219- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
1220- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
1221- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
1222- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
1223- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
1224- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
1225- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
1226- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
1227- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
1228- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
1229- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
1230
1231## 2.1.179
1232
1233- 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"
1234- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
1235- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
1236- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
1237- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
1238- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
1239- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
1240- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
1241- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
1242
1243## 2.1.178
1244
1245- 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.
1246- 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
1247- 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
1248- 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/`
1249- 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
1250- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
1251- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
1252- 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
1253- 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
1254- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
1255- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
1256- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
1257- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
1258- 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
1259- 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`
1260- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
1261- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
1262- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
1263- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
1264- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
1265- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
1266- 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
1267- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
1268- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
1269
1270## 2.1.176
1271
1272- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
1273- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
1274- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
1275- 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
1276- 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
1277- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
1278- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
1279- 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
1280- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
1281- 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
1282- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
1283- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
1284- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
1285- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
1286- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
1287- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
1288- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
1289- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
1290- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
1291- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
1292- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
1293- 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
1294
1295## 2.1.175
1296
1297- 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
1298
1299## 2.1.174
1300
1301- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
1302- 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
1303- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
1304- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
1305- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
1306- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
1307- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
1308- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
1309- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
1310- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
1311- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
1312- [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
1313- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
1314
1315## 2.1.173
1316
1317- 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
1318- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
1319
1320## 2.1.172
1321
1322- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
1323- 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
1324- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
1325- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
1326- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
1327- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
1328- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
1329- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
1330- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
1331- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
1332- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
1333- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
1334- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
1335- 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
1336- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
1337- 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
1338- 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
1339- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
1340- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
1341- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
1342- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
1343- 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
1344- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
1345- 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
1346- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
1347- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
1348- `/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
1349- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
1350- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
1351- [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
1352
1353## 2.1.170
1354
1355- 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
1356- 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.
1357
1358## 2.1.169
1359
1360- 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
1361- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
1362- 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
1363- 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
1364- 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
1365- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
1366- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
1367- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
1368- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
1369- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
1370- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
1371- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
1372- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
1373- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
1374- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
1375- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
1376- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
1377- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
1378- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
1379- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
1380- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
1381- 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
1382- 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
1383- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
1384- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
1385- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
1386- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
1387- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
1388- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
1389- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions
1390
1391## 2.1.168
1392
1393- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1394
1395## 2.1.167
1396
1397- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1398
1399## 2.1.166
1400
1401- 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
1402- 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
1403- 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
1404- `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)
1405- 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
1406- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
1407- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
1408- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
1409- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
1410- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
1411- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
1412- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
1413- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
1414- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
1415- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
1416- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
1417- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
1418- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
1419- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
1420- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
1421- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
1422
1423## 2.1.165
1424
1425- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1426
1427## 2.1.163
1428
1429- 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
1430- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
1431- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
1432- 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
1433- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
1434- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
1435- Fixed `claude -p` hanging forever after its final result when a backgrounded command never exits — background shells are now stopped ~5s after the result once stdin closes
1436- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
1437- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
1438- 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
1439- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
1440- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
1441- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
1442- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
1443- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
1444- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
1445- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
1446- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
1447- 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
1448- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
1449- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
1450- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
1451
1452## 2.1.162
1453
1454- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
1455- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
1456- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
1457- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
1458- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
1459- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
1460- 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
1461- 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
1462- 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
1463- 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
1464- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
1465- 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
1466- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
1467- 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
1468- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
1469- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
1470- 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
1471- 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
1472- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
1473- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
1474- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
1475- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
1476- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
1477- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
1478- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
1479- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
1480- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
1481- 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
1482
1483## 2.1.161
1484
1485- `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
1486- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
1487- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
1488- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
1489- 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
1490- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
1491- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
1492- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
1493- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
1494- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
1495- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
1496- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
1497- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
1498- Fixed `claude mcp` list/get/add printing secrets to the terminal: `${VAR}` references are no longer expanded, and credential headers and URL secrets are redacted
1499- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
1500- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
1501- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
1502- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
1503- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
1504- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
1505- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
1506- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
1507
1508## 2.1.160
1509
1510- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
1511- `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.)
1512- 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
1513- 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
1514- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
1515- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
1516- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
1517- 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
1518- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
1519- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
1520- 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
1521- 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
1522- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
1523- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
1524- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
1525- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
1526- 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
1527- 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
1528- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
1529- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
1530- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
1531- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
1532- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
1533- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
1534- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
1535- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
1536- 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
1537
1538## 2.1.159
1539
1540- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
1541
1542## 2.1.158
1543
1544- 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`
1545
1546## 2.1.157
1547

1550- Added autocomplete for `/plugin` arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
1551- `claude agents`: the `agent` field in `settings.json` is now honored for dispatched sessions, with `--agent <name>` to override it
1552- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
1553- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
1554- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
1555- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
1556- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
1557- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell

1559- Fixed background agent worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
1560- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date

1563- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
1564- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
1565- 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
1566- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
1567- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup

1571- Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
1572- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
1573- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
1574- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
1575- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
1576- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
1577- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
1578- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
1579- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
1580- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
1581
1582## 2.1.156
1583
1584- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
1585
1586## 2.1.154
1587
1588- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
1589- 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
1590- 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
1591- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
1592- 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
1593- `/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
1594- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
1595- `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>'`
1596- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
1597- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
1598- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
1599- 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
1600- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
1601- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
1602- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
1603- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
1604- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
1605- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
1606- 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`
1607- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
1608- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
1609- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
1610- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
1611- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
1612- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
1613- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
1614- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
1615- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
1616- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
1617- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
1618- 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
1619- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
1620- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
1621- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
1622- 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
1623- 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
1624- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
1625- 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
1626- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
1627- [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
1628- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
1629- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
1630- 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
1631- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
1632
1633## 2.1.153
1634
1635- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
1636- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
1637- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
1638- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
1639- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
1640- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
1641- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
1642- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
1643- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
1644- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
1645- 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
1646- `--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
1647- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
1648- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
1649- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
1650- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
1651- 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
1652- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
1653- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
1654- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
1655- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
1656- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
1657- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
1658- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
1659- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
1660- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
1661- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
1662- 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
1663- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
1664- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
1665- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
1666- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
1667- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
1668- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
1669- `/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.
1670- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
1671
1672## 2.1.152
1673
1674- `/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`
1675- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
1676- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
1677- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
1678- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
1679- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
1680- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
1681- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
1682- 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
1683- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
1684- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
1685- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
1686- 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)
1687- 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
1688- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
1689- 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
1690- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
1691- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
1692- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
1693- 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
1694- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
1695- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
1696- 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
1697- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
1698- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
1699- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
1700- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
1701- 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
1702- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
1703- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
1704- 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
1705- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
1706- 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
1707
1708## 2.1.150
1709
1710- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
1711
1712## 2.1.149
1713
1714- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
1715- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
1716- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
1717- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
1718- 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
1719- 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)
1720- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
1721- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
1722- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
1723- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
1724- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
1725- Fixed `otelHeadersHelper` failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in `/doctor` and the debug log
1726- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
1727- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
1728- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
1729- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
1730- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
1731- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
1732- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
1733- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
1734- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
1735- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
1736- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
1737- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
1738- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
1739- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
1740
1741## 2.1.148
1742
1743- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
1744
1745## 2.1.147
1746
1747- 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
1748- 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
1749- 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
1750- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
1751- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
1752- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
1753- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
1754- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
1755- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
1756- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
1757- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
1758- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
1759- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
1760- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
1761- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
1762- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
1763- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
1764- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
1765- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
1766- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
1767- 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
1768- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
1769- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
1770- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
1771- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
1772- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
1773- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
1774- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
1775- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
1776- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
1777- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
1778- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
1779- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
1780
1781## 2.1.145
1782
1783- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
1784- 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
1785- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
1786- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
1787- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
1788- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
1789- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
1790- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
1791- 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
1792- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
1793- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
1794- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
1795- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
1796- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
1797- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
1798- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
1799- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
1800- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
1801- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
1802- 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
1803
1804## 2.1.144
1805
1806- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
1807- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
1808- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
1809- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
1810- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
1811- 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
1812- 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
1813- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
1814- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
1815- 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)
1816- 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
1817- 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
1818- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
1819- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
1820- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
1821- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
1822- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
1823- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
1824- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
1825- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
1826- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
1827- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
1828- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
1829- 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
1830- 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
1831- 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
1832- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
1833- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
1834- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
1835- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
1836- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
1837- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
1838- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
1839- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
1840- 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
1841- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
1842- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
1843- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
1844- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
1845- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
1846- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
1847- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
1848- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
1849- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
1850- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
1851- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
1852- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
1853- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
1854- 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)
1855- 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.
1856
1857## 2.1.143
1858
1859- 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
1860- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
1861- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
1862- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
1863- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
1864- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
1865- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
1866- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
1867- 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`)
1868- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
1869- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
1870- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
1871- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
1872- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
1873- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
1874- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
1875- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
1876- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
1877- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
1878- 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`.
1879- `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
1880- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
1881- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
1882- 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`
1883- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
1884- 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.
1885- `/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.
1886- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
1887- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
1888- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
1889- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
1890- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
1891- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
1892
1893## 2.1.142
1894
1895- 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
1896- 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
1897- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
1898- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
1899- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
1900- 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
1901- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
1902- 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
1903- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
1904- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
1905- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
1906- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
1907- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
1908- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
1909- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake
1910- Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
1911- Fixed redundant `set_model` requests from remote clients injecting duplicate `/model` breadcrumbs into the transcript
1912- Fixed plugins using `skills: ["./"]` showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
1913- Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
1914- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
1915- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
1916- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
1917- 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
1918- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
1919
1920## 2.1.141
1921
1922- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
1923- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
1924- 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
1925- Added `claude agents --cwd <path>` to scope the session list to a directory
1926- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
1927- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
1928- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
1929- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
1930- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
1931- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
1932- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
1933- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
1934- 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
1935- 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
1936- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
1937- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
1938- 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
1939- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
1940- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
1941- Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box
1942- Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent `transcript_path` after `EnterWorktree` switches the working directory
1943- 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)
1944- Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
1945- Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
1946- Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
1947- Fixed alternative `chat:submit` keybindings (e.g. `meta+enter`, `ctrl+enter`) not working when `enter` is rebound to `chat:newline`
1948- Fixed prompt suggestions being silently disabled when an output style was configured
1949- Fixed `spinnerVerbs` setting not being honored in turn-completion messages
1950- Fixed AskUserQuestion popup hiding the last line of preceding chat content

1952- Fixed multi-line statusline output dropping or corrupting rows when any line exceeds terminal width
1953- Fixed light-ansi theme using invisible white for diff context lines on light backgrounds — now uses black
1954- Fixed error overlay dumping minified bundle source that hid the original error message
1955- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
1956- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
1957- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
1958- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
1959- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
1960- Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name
1961- Fixed `/mcp` server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
1962- Fixed redaction in `/feedback` bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs
1963- Fixed desktop and third-party provider sessions incorrectly inheriting `apiKeyHelper`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` from host managed-settings
1964- Fixed early analytics events being silently dropped when fired before logger initialization
1965- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
1966- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
1967- 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
1968- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
1969- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
1970- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
1971- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
1972- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
1973- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
1974- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
1975- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
1976- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
1977- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
1978- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
1979- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
1980- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
1981- `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
1982- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
1983
1984## 2.1.140
1985
1986- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
1987- Updated agent color palette
1988- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
1989- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
1990- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
1991- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time

1994- Fixed `/loop` scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
1995- Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. `gh`) triggered synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns on every check
1996- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
1997- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
1998- 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`.
1999
2000## 2.1.139
2001
2002- 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
2003- 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
2004- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
2005- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
2006- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
2007- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
2008- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
2009- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
2010- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
2011- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails

2015- `/context` now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
2016- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
2017- 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
2018- 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
2019- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
2020- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
2021- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
2022- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
2023- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
2024- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
2025- Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
2026- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
2027- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
2028- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
2029- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
2030- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
2031- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft

2035- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
2036- 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

2038- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
2039- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one

2072- Fixed plugin `Stop`/`UserPromptSubmit` hooks failing when cache cleanup deletes a version still in use by a running session
2073- Improved visual consistency across slash command dialogs: standardized footer hints, dialog spacing, and arrow-key styling, and the dialog frame now appears immediately during loading instead of popping in after
2074- Fixed colors appearing at wrong positions in bash command output and markdown code blocks
2075- Fixed ReasonML diffs rendering corrupted "undefined" text artifacts at word-diff boundaries

2113- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
2114- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
2115
2116## 2.1.133
2117
2118- 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
2119- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
2120- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
2121- 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`

2123- Improved memory usage by releasing warm-spare background workers under memory pressure
2124- Fixed parallel sessions all dead-ending at 401 after a refresh-token race wiped shared credentials

2127- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
2128- 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
2129- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
2130- 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
2131- 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
2132- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
2133- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`

2135
2136## 2.1.132
2137
2138- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` environment variable to the Bash tool subprocess environment, matching the `session_id` passed to hooks
2139- 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
2140- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
2141- 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
2142- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
2143- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
2144- 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
2145- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
2146- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
2147- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters
2148- Fixed pasting text starting with `/` silently swallowing the input or triggering an unknown-command reply
2149- Fixed pasting dumping stray escape sequences into the prompt when focus events or mouse-tracking reports interleave with the bracketed paste
2150- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling being too fast in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 due to an upstream xterm.js bug
2151- Fixed scroll-wheel handling in JetBrains IDE 2025.2 terminals (spurious arrow keys, wrong-direction events, runaway acceleration)
2152- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
2153- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there
2154- Fixed `/effort` picker not reflecting the `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` env var override
2155- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
2156- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height
2157- Fixed statusline `context_window` token counts reflecting cumulative session totals instead of current context usage
2158- Fixed Alt+T (thinking toggle) not working on macOS terminals without "Option as Meta" enabled (iTerm2, Terminal.app defaults)
2159- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
2160- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
2161- 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`
2162- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
2163- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
2164- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)
2165- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex 400 errors when `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` is set
2166
2167## 2.1.131

2175- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs `eat`)
2176- 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
2177- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
2178- 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)
2179- 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
2180- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
2181- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description
2182- The `claude_code.pull_request.count` OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands
2183- Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging
2184- Fixed API errors with unrecognized 400 status codes showing raw JSON instead of the underlying error message
2185- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the terminal tab title after a conversation
2186- Fixed session title chip from `/rename` disappearing while a permission or other dialog is active
2187- Fixed agent panel below the prompt being hidden when subagents are running (regression in 2.1.122)
2188- Fixed external-editor handoff (Ctrl+G) blanking the conversation history above the prompt
2189- Fixed `/context` dumping its rendered ASCII visualization grid into the conversation, wasting ~1.6k tokens per call

2191- Fixed `/branch` success message not including the new branch's session id for `/resume`
2192- Fixed bold headers with keycap/ZWJ/skin-tone emoji losing trailing characters in fullscreen mode
2193- Fixed server-managed settings policy not applying for enterprise/team users whose stored OAuth credentials lacked the `user:inference` scope
2194- Fixed OAuth refresh race after wake-from-sleep that could log out all running sessions
2195- Fixed 1-hour prompt cache TTL being silently downgraded to 5 minutes
2196- Fixed cache-miss warning appearing spuriously after `/clear` or compaction when changing `/effort` or `/model`
2197- Fixed `Bash(mkdir *)`, `Bash(touch *)` and similar allow rules not being honored for in-project paths
2198- Fixed `deniedMcpServers` patterns with a `*://` scheme wildcard not matching mixed-case hostnames
2199- Fixed harmless WebSocket warning being logged as an error in `--debug` during voice mode
2200- [VSCode] Fixed `/clear` not clearing the conversation context and displayed transcript
2201
2202## 2.1.128
2203
2204- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
2205- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
2206- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
2207- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
2208- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
2209- 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
2210- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
2211- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
2212- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
2213- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
2214- Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, `/compact`, or run with `--debug`)
2215- Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
2216- Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every `/exit` in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification
2217- Fixed Remote Control showing an empty "Opening your options…" message on rate limit instead of actionable upsell options
2218- Fixed drag-and-drop image upload hanging on "Pasting text…" when the image read fails
2219- Fixed crash loop when piping very large input (>10 MB) to `claude -p` via stdin
2220- Fixed long URLs not being individually clickable on every wrapped row in fullscreen mode
2221- Fixed `/plugin` Components panel showing "Marketplace 'inline' not found" for plugins loaded via `--plugin-dir`
2222- Fixed MCP tool results dropping images when the server returns both structured content and content blocks
2223- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
2224- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
2225- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
2226- 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
2227- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
2228- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
2229- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
2230- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
2231- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
2232- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
2233- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
2234- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
2235- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
2236- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
2237- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
2238- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
2239- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
2240- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
2241
2242## 2.1.126
2243
2244- The `/model` picker now lists models from your gateway's `/v1/models` endpoint when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway
2245- - 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`
2246- `--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)
2247- `claude auth login` now accepts the OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers)
2248- `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"`)
2249- Auto mode: the spinner now turns red when a permission check stalls, instead of looking like the tool is running
2250- Host-managed deployments (`CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST`) no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
2251- Windows: PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or `.NET global tool` is now detected
2252- Windows: when the PowerShell tool is enabled, Claude now treats PowerShell as the primary shell instead of defaulting to Bash
2253- Read tool: removed the per-file malware-assessment reminder that could cause spurious refusals and "this is not malware" commentary on legacy models
2254- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
2255- 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
2256- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin
2257- Fixed OAuth login failing with timeout on slow or proxied connections, in IPv6-only devcontainers, and when the browser callback can't reach localhost
2258- Fixed a rare race where a concurrent credential write could clear a valid OAuth refresh token

2264- Fixed claude.ai MCP connectors being suppressed by manual servers stuck in needs-auth state
2265- Fixed Japanese/Korean/Chinese text rendering as garbled characters on Windows in no-flicker mode
2266- Fixed `Ctrl+L` clearing the prompt input — it now only forces a screen redraw, matching readline behavior
2267- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn
2268- Fixed plan-mode tools being unavailable in interactive sessions launched with `--channels`
2269- Fixed `/plugin` Uninstall reporting "Enabled" instead of "Uninstalled"
2270- Bounded total size of file-modified reminders when a linter touches many files at once
2271- Fixed `/remote-control` retries appearing stuck on "connecting…" — each retry now shows its result
2272- Fixed Remote Control failure notification not showing the error reason for initial connection failures
2273- 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
2274- PowerShell tool: bare `--` (e.g. `git diff -- file`) is no longer mis-flagged as the `--%` stop-parsing token
2275- Fixed Agent SDK hang when the model emits a malformed tool name in a parallel tool call batch
2276
2277## 2.1.123
2278

2280
2281## 2.1.122
2282

2285- `/mcp` now shows claude.ai connectors hidden by a manually-added server with the same URL, with a hint to remove the duplicate
2286- Clarified the `/mcp` message shown when an MCP server is still unauthorized after the browser sign-in flow
2287- OpenTelemetry: numeric attributes on `api_request`/`api_error` log events are now emitted as numbers, not strings
2288- OpenTelemetry: added `claude_code.at_mention` log event for `@`-mention resolution
2289- Fixed `/branch` producing forks that fail with "tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks" when the source session contained entries from rewound timelines
2290- Fixed `/model` not showing the Effort option for Bedrock application inference profile ARNs, and those ARNs not receiving `output_config.effort`
2291- Fixed Vertex AI / Bedrock returning `invalid_request_error: output_config: Extra inputs are not permitted` on session-title generation and other structured-output queries
2292- Fixed Vertex AI `count_tokens` endpoint returning 400 errors for users behind proxy gateways
2293- Fixed `spinnerTipsOverride.excludeDefault` not suppressing the time-based spinner tips
2294- Fixed ToolSearch missing MCP tools that connected after session start in nonblocking mode
2295- Fixed `!exit` / `!quit` in bash mode terminating the CLI instead of running as a shell command
2296- Fixed images sent to newer models being resized to 2576px per side instead of the correct 2000px maximum
2297- Fixed remote control session idle status redrawing twice per second, which could flood `tmux -CC` control pipes and pause the terminal
2298- Fixed assistant messages appearing blank in some sessions due to a stale view preference
2299- Fixed a malformed hooks entry in `settings.json` no longer invalidating the entire file
2300- Voice mode: keybindings bound to Caps Lock now show an error since terminals don't deliver Caps Lock as a key event
2301
2302## 2.1.121
2303
2304- Added `alwaysLoad` option to MCP server config — when `true`, all tools from that server skip tool-search deferral and are always available
2305- Added `claude plugin prune` to remove orphaned auto-installed plugin dependencies; `plugin uninstall --prune` cascades
2306- Added a type-to-filter search box to `/skills` so you can find a skill in long lists without scrolling
2307- PostToolUse hooks can now replace tool output for all tools via `hookSpecificOutput.updatedToolOutput` (previously MCP-only)
2308- Fullscreen mode: typing into the prompt no longer jumps scroll back to the bottom after you've scrolled up to read earlier output
2309- Dialogs that overflow the terminal are now scrollable with arrow keys, PgUp/PgDn, home/end, and mouse wheel in both fullscreen and non-fullscreen modes
2310- Clicking any line of a long URL that wraps across rows in fullscreen mode now opens the full URL
2311- SDK and `claude -p`: `CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1` now works in non-interactive sessions
2312- `--dangerously-skip-permissions` no longer prompts for writes to `.claude/skills/`, `.claude/agents/`, and `.claude/commands/`
2313- `/terminal-setup` now enables iTerm2's "Applications in terminal may access clipboard" setting so `/copy` works, including from tmux

2315- The terminal tab session title is now generated in your configured `language` setting
2316- Claude.ai connectors with the same upstream URL are now deduplicated instead of appearing as duplicates

Custom/MCP command names are redacted unless `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` is set
2473- 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)

2488- [VSCode] Fixed "Manage Plugins" panel breaking when multiple large marketplaces are configured
2489- 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
2490
2491## 2.1.116
2492
2493- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
2494- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; `resources/templates/list` is now deferred to first `@`-mention
2495- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — `/terminal-setup` now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity
2496- Thinking spinner now shows progress inline ("still thinking", "thinking more", "almost done thinking"), replacing the separate hint row

2502- Agent frontmatter `hooks:` now fire when running as a main-thread agent via `--agent`
2503- Slash command menu now shows "No commands match" when your filter has zero results, instead of disappearing
2504- Security: sandbox auto-allow no longer bypasses the dangerous-path safety check for `rm`/`rmdir` targeting `/`, `$HOME`, or other critical system directories
2505- 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`

2524
2525- Changed the CLI to spawn a native Claude Code binary (via a per-platform optional dependency) instead of bundled JavaScript

2537- Running `cd <current-directory> && git …` no longer triggers a permission prompt when the `cd` is a no-op
2538- Security: on macOS, `/private/{etc,var,tmp,home}` paths are now treated as dangerous removal targets under `Bash(rm:*)` allow rules
2539- Security: Bash deny rules now match commands wrapped in `env`/`sudo`/`watch`/`ionice`/`setsid` and similar exec wrappers
2540- Security: `Bash(find:*)` allow rules no longer auto-approve `find -exec`/`-delete`

2573- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
2574- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`

2581- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
2582- 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

2596- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
2597- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`

2603- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
2604- 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
2605

2651- `/undo` is now an alias for `/rewind`
2652- Improved `/model` to warn before switching models mid-conversation, since the next response re-reads the full history uncached
2653- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
2654- 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
2655- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand
2656- Added "verbose" indicator when viewing the detailed transcript (`Ctrl+O`)
2657- Added a warning at startup when prompt caching is disabled via `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING*` environment variables

2684- Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
2685- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
2686- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
2687- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
2688- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
2689- 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
2690- Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely

2723- Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
2724- Improved tool-not-available errors to explain why and how to proceed when the model calls a tool that exists but isn't available in the current context
2725- Improved rate-limit retry messages to show which limit was hit and when it resets instead of an opaque seconds countdown

2727- Improved `claude -p --resume <name>` to accept session titles set via `/rename` or `--name`
2728- Improved settings resilience: an unrecognized hook event name in `settings.json` no longer causes the entire file to be ignored
2729- Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set
2730- Improved `/plugin` and `claude plugin update` to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version

2749- Fixed several `/resume` picker issues: narrow default view hiding sessions from other projects, unreachable preview on Windows Terminal, incorrect cwd in worktrees, session-not-found errors not surfacing in stderr, terminal title not being set, and resume hint overlapping the prompt input
2750- 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
2751- Fixed `/btw` writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use
2752- Fixed `/context` Free space and Messages breakdown disagreeing with the header percentage
2753- Fixed several plugin issues: slash commands resolving to the wrong plugin with duplicate `name:` frontmatter, `/plugin update` failing with `ENAMETOOLONG`, Discover showing already-installed plugins, directory-source plugins loading from a stale version cache, and skills not honoring `context: fork` and `agent` frontmatter fields
2754- Fixed the `/mcp` menu offering OAuth-specific actions for MCP servers configured with `headersHelper`; Reconnect is now offered instead to re-invoke the helper script
2755- Fixed `ctrl+]`, `ctrl+\`, and `ctrl+^` keybindings not firing in terminals that send raw C0 control bytes (Terminal.app, default iTerm2, xterm)

2763- Fixed `/insights` sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
2764- [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed
2765

2906
2907## 2.1.92
2908

3012- Changed hook output over 50K characters to be saved to disk with a file path + preview instead of being injected directly into context
3013- Changed `cleanupPeriodDays: 0` in settings.json to be rejected with a validation error — it previously silently disabled transcript persistence

3015- Documented `TaskCreated` hook event and its blocking behavior
3016- Preserved task notifications when backgrounding a running command with Ctrl+B
3017- 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)

3183- Faster `claude -p` startup with unauthenticated HTTP/SSE MCP servers (~600ms saved)
3184- Bash ghost-text suggestions now include just-submitted commands immediately
3185- Increased non-streaming fallback token cap (21k → 64k) and timeout (120s → 300s local) so fallback requests are less likely to be truncated

3194- Claude can now reference the on-disk path of clipboard-pasted images for file operations
3195- `Ctrl+L` now clears the screen and forces a full redraw — use this to recover when Cmd+K leaves the UI partially blank. Use `Ctrl+U` or double-Esc to clear prompt input.

3211
3212## 2.1.81
3213

3285- Added `StopFailure` hook event that fires when the turn ends due to an API error (rate limit, auth failure, etc.)
3286- Added `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}` variable for plugin persistent state that survives plugin updates; `/plugin uninstall` prompts before deleting it
3287- Added `effort`, `maxTurns`, and `disallowedTools` frontmatter support for plugin-shipped agents

3291- Fixed `cc log` and `--resume` silently truncating conversation history on large sessions (>5 MB) that used subagents
3292- Fixed infinite loop when API errors triggered stop hooks that re-fed blocking errors to the model
3293- Fixed `deny: ["mcp__servername"]` permission rules not removing MCP server tools before sending to the model, allowing it to see and attempt blocked tools

3350- Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
3351- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
3352- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
3353- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
3354- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
3355- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)
3356- [VSCode] Improved plan preview tab titles to use the plan's heading instead of "Claude's Plan"

3389- Improved model fallback notifications — now always visible instead of hidden behind verbose mode, with human-friendly model names
3390- Improved blockquote readability on dark terminal themes — text is now italic with a left bar instead of dim

3392- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
3393- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input

3425- Fixed full model IDs (e.g., `claude-opus-4-5`) being silently ignored in agent frontmatter `model:` field and `--agents` JSON config — agents now accept the same model values as `--model`
3426- Fixed MCP OAuth authentication hanging when the callback port is already in use
3427- Fixed MCP OAuth refresh never prompting for re-auth after the refresh token expires, for OAuth servers that return errors with HTTP 200 (e.g. Slack)
3428- Fixed voice mode silently failing on the macOS native binary for users whose terminal had never been granted microphone permission — the binary now includes the `audio-input` entitlement so macOS prompts correctly
3429- Fixed `SessionEnd` hooks being killed after 1.5 s on exit regardless of `hook.timeout` — now configurable via `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS`

3452- Fixed JSON-output hooks injecting no-op system-reminder messages into the model's context on every turn
3453- Fixed voice mode session corruption when a slow connection overlaps a new recording
3454- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start with "ripgrep (rg) not found" on native builds
3455- Fixed Linux native modules not loading on Amazon Linux 2 and other glibc 2.26 systems

3459- Improved IDE detection speed at startup
3460- Improved clipboard image pasting performance on macOS
3461- Improved `/effort` to work while Claude is responding, matching `/model` behavior
3462- Improved voice mode to automatically retry transient connection failures during rapid push-to-talk re-press
3463- Improved the Remote Control spawn mode selection prompt with better context
3464- Changed default Opus model on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry to Opus 4.6 (was Opus 4.1)
3465- Deprecated `/output-style` command — use `/config` instead. Output style is now fixed at session start for better prompt caching
3466- VSCode: Fixed HTTP 400 errors for users behind proxies or on Bedrock/Vertex with Claude 4.5 models
3467
3468## 2.1.72
3469
3470- Fixed tool search to activate even with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` as long as `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` is set.
3471- Added `w` key in `/copy` to write the focused selection directly to a file, bypassing the clipboard (useful over SSH)
3472- Added optional description argument to `/plan` (e.g., `/plan fix the auth bug`) that enters plan mode and immediately starts
3473- Added `ExitWorktree` tool to leave an `EnterWorktree` session
3474- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` environment variable to immediately stop scheduled cron jobs mid-session
3475- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
3476- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
3477- 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
3478- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
3479- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
3480- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)
3481- Improved bash command parsing by switching to a native module — faster initialization and no memory leak
3482- Reduced bundle size by ~510 KB
3483- Changed CLAUDE.md HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) to be hidden from Claude when auto-injected. Comments remain visible when read with the Read tool
3484- Fixed slow exits when background tasks or hooks were slow to respond
3485- Fixed agent task progress stuck on "Initializing…"
3486- Fixed skill hooks firing twice per event when a hooks-enabled skill is invoked by the model
3487- 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
3488- Fixed `--continue` not resuming from the most recent point after `--compact`
3489- Fixed bash security parsing edge cases
3490- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
3491- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
3492- 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
3493- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions
3494- Fixed `--effort` CLI flag being reset by unrelated settings writes on startup
3495- Fixed backgrounded Ctrl+B queries losing their transcript or corrupting the new conversation after `/clear`
3496- Fixed `/clear` killing background agent/bash tasks — only foreground tasks are now cleared
3497- Fixed worktree isolation issues: Task tool resume not restoring cwd, and background task notifications missing `worktreePath` and `worktreeBranch`
3498- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
3499- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
3500- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
3501- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
3502- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
3503- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query
3504- Fixed double Ctrl+C not exiting when background agents or tasks are running
3505- Fixed team agents to inherit the leader's model
3506- Fixed "Always Allow" saving permission rules that never match again
3507- 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
3508- Fixed session crashes in Desktop/SDK when Read returned files containing U+2028/U+2029 characters
3509- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
3510- 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
3511- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
3512- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
3513- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs
3514- Fixed multi-line session titles when forking from a conversation whose first message contained newlines
3515- Fixed queued messages not showing attached images, and images being lost when pressing ↑ to edit a queued message
3516- Fixed parallel tool calls where a failed Read/WebFetch/Glob would cancel its siblings — only Bash errors now cascade
3517- VSCode: Fixed scroll speed in integrated terminals not matching native terminals
3518- VSCode: Fixed Shift+Enter submitting input instead of inserting a newline for users with older keybindings
3519- VSCode: Added effort level indicator on the input border
3520- VSCode: Added `vscode://anthropic.claude-code/open` URI handler to open a new Claude Code tab programmatically, with optional `prompt` and `session` query parameters
3521
3522## 2.1.71
3523
3524- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
3525- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
3526- 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
3527- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
3528- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
3529- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
3530- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
3531- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other
3532- Fixed the Read tool putting oversized images into context when image processing failed, breaking subsequent turns in long image-heavy sessions
3533- Fixed false-positive permission prompts for compound bash commands containing heredoc commit messages
3534- Fixed plugin installations being lost when running multiple Claude Code instances
3535- Fixed claude.ai connectors failing to reconnect after OAuth token refresh
3536- Fixed claude.ai MCP connector startup notifications appearing for every org-configured connector instead of only previously connected ones
3537- Fixed background agent completion notifications missing the output file path, which made it difficult for parent agents to recover agent results after context compaction
3538- Fixed duplicate output in Bash tool error messages when commands exit with non-zero status
3539- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
3540- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref
3541- Fixed `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo@ref` incorrectly parsing `@` — previously only `#` worked as a ref separator, causing undiagnosable errors with `strictKnownMarketplaces`
3542- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
3543- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
3544- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
3545- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
3546- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
3547- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
3548- 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
3549- 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.
3550- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
3551- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
3552
3553## 2.1.70
3554
3555- 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
3556- 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
3557- 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
3558- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
3559- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
3560- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`
3561- Fixed extra VS Code windows opening at startup on Windows when running from the VS Code integrated terminal
3562- Fixed voice mode failing on Windows native binary with "native audio module could not be loaded"
3563- Fixed push-to-talk not activating on session start when `voiceEnabled: true` was set in settings
3564- Fixed markdown links containing `#NNN` references incorrectly pointing to the current repository instead of the linked URL
3565- Fixed repeated "Model updated to Opus 4.6" notification when a project's `.claude/settings.json` has a legacy Opus model string pinned
3566- Fixed plugins showing as inaccurately installed in `/plugin`
3567- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
3568- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
3569- 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
3570- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
3571- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
3572- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
3573- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
3574- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
3575- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
3576- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
3577- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
3578- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
3579- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
3580- 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.
3581- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
3582- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
3583- [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
3584
3585## 2.1.69
3586
3587- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
3588- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
3589- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
3590- 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
3591- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
3592- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
3593- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
3594- 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`
3595- 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
3596- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
3597- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
3598- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
3599- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
3600- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
3601- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
3602- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
3603- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
3604- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
3605- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
3606- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
3607- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
3608- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
3609- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
3610- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
3611- 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.
3612- 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)
3613- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
3614- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
3615- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
3616- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
3617- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
3618- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
3619- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
3620- 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)
3621- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
3622- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
3623- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
3624- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
3625- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
3626- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
3627- Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
3628- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter
3629- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` being ignored during conversation compaction
3630- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
3631- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
3632- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
3633- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
3634- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
3635- 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
3636- 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
3637- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
3638- 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.
3639- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
3640- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
3641- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
3642- 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
3643- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
3644- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
3645- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
3646- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
3647- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
3648- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
3649- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
3650- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
3651- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
3652- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior
3653- Fixed `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` plugin hooks being silently ignored
3654- Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
3655- Fixed project skills without a `description:` frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
3656- Fixed `/context` showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
3657- Fixed literal `nul` file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style `2>nul` redirection in Git Bash
3658- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
3659- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
3660- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
3661- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
3662- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
3663- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
3664- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
3665- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
3666- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
3667- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
3668- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
3669- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
3670- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
3671- 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.
3672- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
3673- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
3674- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
3675- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
3676- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
3677- Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
3678- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
3679- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
3680- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
3681- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
3682- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
3683- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
3684- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
3685- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
3686- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
3687- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
3688- [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
3689- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
3690
3691## 2.1.68
3692
3693- 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`
3694- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
3695- 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
3696
3697## 2.1.66
3698
3699- Reduced spurious error logging
3700
3701## 2.1.63
3702
3703- Added `/simplify` and `/batch` bundled slash commands
3704- Fixed local slash command output like /cost appearing as user-sent messages instead of system messages in the UI
3705- Project configs & auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
3706- Added `ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false` env var to opt out from making claude.ai MCP servers available
3707- Improved `/model` command to show the currently active model in the slash command menu
3708- Added HTTP hooks, which can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON instead of running a shell command
3709- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
3710- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
3711- 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.
3712- Fixed memory leak when navigating hooks configuration menu
3713- Fixed listener leak in interactive permission handler during auto-approvals
3714- Fixed file count cache ignoring glob ignore patterns
3715- Fixed memory leak in bash command prefix cache
3716- Fixed MCP tool/resource cache leak on server reconnect
3717- Fixed IDE host IP detection cache incorrectly sharing results across ports
3718- Fixed WebSocket listener leak on transport reconnect
3719- Fixed memory leak in git root detection cache that could cause unbounded growth in long-running sessions
3720- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache that grew unbounded over long sessions
3721- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
3722- 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.
3723- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
3724- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
3725- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
3726- 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.
3727- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
3728- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
3729
3730## 2.1.62

3782- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
3783- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
3784- 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.
3785- 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.
3795- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
3796- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state

3828- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
3829- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
3830- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
3831- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
3832- 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.
3833- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes

3839- SDK model info now includes `supportsEffort`, `supportedEffortLevels`, and `supportsAdaptiveThinking` fields so consumers can discover model capabilities.
3840- Added `ConfigChange` hook event that fires when configuration files change during a session, enabling enterprise security auditing and optional blocking of settings changes.
3841- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
3842- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
3843- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call

3845- 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.
3846- 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
3847
3848## 2.1.47
3849
3850- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
3851- 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.
3852- 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.
3853- 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.
3854- 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)
3855- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use

3857- Fixed an issue where bash tool output was silently discarded on Windows when using MSYS2 or Cygwin shells.
3858- Improved performance of `@` file mentions - file suggestions now appear faster by pre-warming the index on startup and using session-based caching with background refresh.
3859- Improved memory usage by trimming agent task message history after tasks complete
3860- Improved memory usage during long agent sessions by eliminating O(n²) message accumulation in progress updates

3865- Windows: Fixed CWD tracking temp files never being cleaned up, causing them to accumulate indefinitely (anthropics/claude-code#17600)
3866- 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.
3867- 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.
3868- Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
3869- 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.
3870- 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.
3871- Fixed custom session titles set via `/rename` being lost after resuming a conversation (anthropics/claude-code#23610)
3872- Fixed collapsed read/search hint text overflowing on narrow terminals by truncating from the start.
3873- 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.

3875- Fixed MCP servers not appearing in the MCP Management Dialog after deferred loading
3876- Fixed session name persisting in status bar after `/clear` command (anthropics/claude-code#26082)
3877- 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)
3878- Fixed /resume silently dropping sessions when the first message exceeds 16KB or uses array-format content (anthropics/claude-code#25721)
3879- Added `chat:newline` keybinding action for configurable multi-line input (anthropics/claude-code#26075)
3880- Added `added_dirs` to the statusline JSON `workspace` section, exposing directories added via `/add-dir` to external scripts (anthropics/claude-code#26096)

3886- Fixed Warp terminal incorrectly prompting for Shift+Enter setup when it supports it natively (anthropics/claude-code#25957)
3887- Fixed CJK wide characters causing misaligned timestamps and layout elements in the TUI (anthropics/claude-code#26084)
3888- Fixed custom agent `model` field in `.claude/agents/*.md` being ignored when spawning team teammates (anthropics/claude-code#26064)
3889- Fixed plan mode being lost after context compaction, causing the model to switch from planning to implementation mode (anthropics/claude-code#26061)
3890- Fixed `alwaysThinkingEnabled: true` in settings.json not enabling thinking mode on Bedrock and Vertex providers (anthropics/claude-code#26074)
3891- Fixed `tool_decision` OTel telemetry event not being emitted in headless/SDK mode (anthropics/claude-code#26059)

3897- 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)
3898- 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)
