2
3## 2.1.266
4
5- Fixed a 2.1.265 regression affecting LLM-gateway and proxy setups: the undocumented `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_GATEWAY` environment variable, previously ignored unless `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` were both set, began forcing Cloud-gateway sign-in on its own in 2.1.265, so configurations that set it alongside an API key, `apiKeyHelper`, or custom auth headers failed every request with "Not signed in to the Cloud gateway". The variable on its own is ignored again; no configuration change is needed
6
7## 2.1.265
8
9- Added `user.email` and `user.groups` to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway, matching terminal sessions
10- Added support for pointing `--plugin-dir` at a folder of plugins: each child folder with a manifest loads, and children added or removed while running are picked up
11- Added a 1 GB cap on tool results saved to disk; the in-conversation preview says when a saved file was truncated
12- Fixed resuming a foreground-spawned subagent changing its tool list and system prompt prefix, which broke prompt-cache reuse for that agent
13- Fixed agent teammates and resumed subagents moving SubagentStart hook context and preloaded skills out of the prompt prefix on later turns, which broke prompt-cache reuse
14- Fixed resume after the previous process died while a tool was running: the last prompt is no longer rewritten, and the interrupted tool call is kept and marked interrupted
15- Fixed `/model opusplan[1m]` being rejected with "Model not found"
16- Fixed syntax-highlighted code in permission prompts and messages sometimes omitting a character after a Ruby `?`, Erlang `$`, or Perl `$` sigil
17- Fixed the fullscreen transcript jumping by one row whenever the slash-command or @-file suggestion list opened or closed
18- Fixed a plugin path containing a backslash bypassing the symlink containment check on macOS and Linux
19- Fixed plugin directories whose names begin with two dots being wrongly refused as outside the plugin root
20- Fixed VS Code and SDK sessions occasionally requiring re-login when a session was closed while refreshing its token
21- Fixed Remote Control sessions sending the end-of-turn signal before the reply's last message, which could show a reply as finished in the Claude app before its last part arrived
22- Fixed background (`--bg`) sessions occasionally being retired mid-turn when a message arrived just before the idle timeout
23- Fixed Claude Code's own git status and diff probes running clean filters configured by a nested repository inside the working tree
24- Fixed the advisor tool and its instructions being re-decided per request from the request's model; the decision is now made once and announced in the conversation when it changes
25- Fixed artifact publish accepting connector tool names the connector doesn't expose; the publish is now refused when none of the declared tools exist, and warned when only some don't
26- Fixed `/add-dir <subdirectory>` refusing to load a subdirectory's agents when managed settings lock only skills to plugins, and promising agents when only agents are locked
27- Fixed two-key keyboard shortcuts cancelling silently when the second key arrived more than a second later, as happens inside tmux; they now wait 3 seconds and show a notice when they time out
28- Fixed forked skills (`context: fork`) not streaming their kickoff prompt and, with `--forward-subagent-text`, their text turns as progress events in stream-json
29- Fixed a plugin's default component folder that the OS cannot check, such as a symlink loop, being silently skipped; it is now reported in `/plugin` with the error code
30- Fixed the Claude apps gateway's OTLP telemetry relay pausing all forwarding to a collector for 30 seconds after it rejected a few payloads as malformed or too large
31- Fixed `/plugin` Discover/Browse and `claude plugin list --json --available` showing no description or display name for marketplace plugins whose metadata lives only in their `plugin.json`
32- Fixed `/login` showing "no gateway URL is configured" when re-run in a session that signed in to a Claude apps gateway set by managed settings
33- Fixed `/model` claiming a model was "saved as your default" when the settings file couldn't be written; it now says the save failed and why
34- Fixed `/clear` from Remote Control waiting on SessionStart hooks and on open terminal dialogs before completing
35- Fixed the `/config` dialog changing height when switching between its tabs
36- Fixed resuming a workflow run after its container restarted; a resume whose run journal is missing now fails with a clear error instead of rerunning every agent
37- Fixed the `claude-api` skill's error-code reference: model access failures return 404 and unavailable beta headers return 400, not 403
38- Fixed non-interactive sessions (`-p` with stream-json input, Agent SDK, cloud sessions) resetting the shell working directory at each new user message; a `cd` now persists across turns
39- Fixed MCP servers configured as `http` that only speak the legacy HTTP+SSE transport never connecting; Claude Code now falls back to SSE as the MCP spec describes
40- Fixed some claude.ai connectors in cloud sessions showing as needing authentication even though they are connected in claude.ai (servers that answer an unsupported request with HTTP 401)
41- Fixed remote sessions keeping their sandbox container alive while a connector approval or sign-in link waits for you
42- Fixed resumed sessions showing long model-facing recovery instructions in "background task didn't finish" notices instead of a short status line
43- Windows: Fixed Read, Write and Edit refusing every file ("symlink resolution changed after permission was checked") when running inside an AppContainer or restricted-token sandbox
44- Improved `--worktree` startup on large repositories: the new worktree is now checked out in parallel (git 2.32+)
45- Improved `/workflows` agent detail: tool calls are marked running, failed or done, the subagent's task list is shown when it has one, and Enter unfolds the listed calls with their inputs and results
46- Improved slash commands typed mid-prompt: matches now show in a list (Tab opens it outside fullscreen) instead of a single suggestion, and a plugin skill is now found by its bare name
47- Improved remote MCP servers that need sign-in: Claude Code no longer registers an OAuth client with them until you actually authenticate
48- Improved the time to resume long sessions that read many files
49- Improved the error shown when an image over the size limits cannot be decoded: it now names the cause and how to fix it instead of only citing the limit
50- Improved the Artifact tool's read of an artifact someone else wrote: the summary now treats the page as untrusted content and flags embedded instructions rather than relaying them
51- Updated the `.claude` folder permission option to say what it actually allows: editing files in the project's `.claude` folder (or `~/.claude`) for the session
52- Changed machines with `forceLoginGatewayUrl` in managed settings to be Claude apps gateway sessions from startup, like `forceLoginMethod: "gateway"`; a leftover claude.ai login or API key is not used
53- Changed image processing to use the runtime's built-in image support; the CLI no longer extracts a native image module to the temp directory
54- Changed plugin display metadata to prefer the marketplace entry over `plugin.json` on the Installed tab and `claude plugin details`, filling gaps from `plugin.json`
55- Changed Claude apps gateway sessions to export OpenTelemetry directly to a collector the gateway's managed settings name in `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`, instead of through the gateway's relay; sessions without a named collector still use the relay
56- [VSCode] Added automatic archiving of sessions inactive for a set period (new "Archive inactive sessions" setting, default 14 days)
57- [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar chat coming back blank after Reload Window or a restart when the conversation had been open for more than 10 minutes
58- [VSCode] Fixed the timeline dot sitting below the text on the "Remote Control is active" message
59
60## 2.1.263
61
62- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
63
64## 2.1.261
65
66- Added an "Organization policy" line to `/status` and `claude doctor` that says why your organization's policy could not be loaded, such as a proxy not passing the endpoint through
67- Added `bashOutputMaxChars` and `taskOutputMaxChars` settings to raise how much command and background-task output Claude receives inline before it is saved to a file, up to 128K characters
68- Added `--append-subagent-system-prompt-file` to read the subagent system prompt from a file, for prompts too large to pass on the command line
69- Added `/skill-doctor` to show which loaded skills go unused and what they cost in context, so you can prune them
70- Fixed typed or pasted characters occasionally landing out of order or being dropped during fast input or key repeat
71- Fixed `/add-dir <subdirectory>` printing a false "couldn't be resolved" error when the working directory is on a `/net` automount
72- Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard hanging when AWS or an AWS credential helper never responds (it now times out with a clear error), and its model checks failing behind a TLS-inspecting proxy
73- Fixed cloud sessions discarding a plugin synced from claude.ai when managed settings force-enable it in `enabledPlugins`, then falling back to a marketplace clone that could fail
74- Fixed being unable to delete the character immediately before an inline `[Image #N]` chip in the prompt input
75- Fixed resuming a session losing hook output and other context around parallel tool calls, which changed the resumed request
76- Fixed Remote Control showing a stale permission mode when a phone, browser, or claude.ai app attaches to a terminal session or after the mode changes in the terminal
77- Fixed Remote Control sessions showing as still working (stuck spinner and Stop button) after stopping a turn from a connected phone or browser, or after a local slash command like `/clear`
78- Fixed SDK and cloud sessions ignoring a Stop or interrupt sent just after the first prompt, before the turn had started; the turn now stops instead of running to completion
79- Fixed Remote Control uploading a session pulled with `/teleport` into the connected session, which appeared appended to the original on phone and web
80- Fixed Remote Control's inbound event stream failing behind TLS-inspecting corporate proxies on native Windows
81- Fixed Remote Control sessions showing the default effort level on claude.ai when the effort comes from settings
82- Fixed `gcpAuthRefresh` opening a browser at startup when the Google credential check was slow, even though the credential was still valid
83- Fixed claude.ai connectors staying absent for the whole session when the startup connector fetch timed out — the CLI now retries in the background
84- Fixed sustained high CPU usage when a background agent could not be resumed and its wake-up was retried in a tight loop
85- Fixed feature flags gated to a newer version occasionally applying to an older Claude Code version running on the same machine
86- Fixed `/usage` and the VS Code usage panel dropping a model-specific weekly limit row when the usage endpoint is rate limited or when opened right after startup
87- Fixed `claude -p --resume <file>` adopting a malformed session ID recorded in the transcript; it now resumes under a fresh session ID instead
88- Fixed the terminal progress indicator (iTerm2, Ghostty, ConEmu) showing the session as finished while a background workflow or agent was still running
89- Fixed a rare layout glitch where a box could render with the wrong height after its container switched between row and column direction
90- Fixed Claude apps gateway client IP when a trusted proxy appends a port to `X-Forwarded-For`; with an access list set, an unreadable entry now gets 403
91- Fixed Claude apps gateway telling Claude Desktop to export OpenTelemetry as JSON even when the terminal CLI uses protobuf, so protobuf-only collectors rejected Desktop's data
92- Fixed Desktop and web showing a session as busy while it only watches an artifact for updates
93- Fixed Claude in Chrome `file_upload` failing with "paths: expected array, received undefined" in local Cowork sessions run from the Claude Desktop app
94- Fixed `SendMessage` to an offline Remote Control session on another machine reading as delivered; the result now says delivery is queued until that machine reconnects
95- Fixed plugin install hints from CLIs run in background Bash commands: they are now detected, and the raw `<claude-code-hint>` tag no longer leaks into the conversation
96- Fixed in-process agent-team teammates re-sending their first-turn tool and skill announcements on the second turn, which changed the request prefix and missed the prompt cache
97- Improved the `/model` picker and the VS Code model pill to show a model's name instead of its raw Bedrock, Vertex AI, or LLM gateway ID when Claude Code recognizes it
98- Improved startup on Google Vertex AI when `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` is set: API client creation no longer re-runs Google Cloud project discovery or spawns extra `gcloud` processes
99- Improved streaming performance: already-rendered blocks are no longer re-checked by layout on each update
100- Improved the dangerous-`rm` safety prompt to also catch `rm -rf` on positional parameters and inside double-quoted `sh -c` scripts
101- Improved handling when the API sends no response headers: the retry now waits up to `API_TIMEOUT_MS` (10 minutes by default) instead of another 3 minutes, and the messages say what to change
102- Changed a Claude apps gateway 403 on the managed settings load (at startup or after `/login`) to say Claude Code may not be enabled for the organization, instead of advising a new sign-in
103- Changed machines whose managed settings pin `forceLoginMethod: "gateway"` to ignore a leftover API key or claude.ai login and ask for `/login`; Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry sessions are unaffected
104- Changed auto mode to treat a link that packs content into a public diagram renderer's URL as an upload to that site: no longer auto-approved unless you asked for it
105- Changed the prompt's word-editing keys to match Bash: Ctrl+W deletes back to whitespace, Alt+F and Alt+D stop at word end, punctuation separates words; `keybindingFlavor` no longer has any effect
106- Changed `/context` token counting to use a local estimate when the token-counting API is unavailable, instead of extra small-model requests
107- [VSCode] Added a "Build a custom style" walkthrough to the Output styles menu that writes a custom output style file and lists it right away
108- [VSCode] Added an Add server form and a Remove action to the MCP servers dialog, so MCP servers can be added and removed without leaving the IDE
109- [VSCode] Added a hollow ring in the session list for sessions open in a terminal, another VS Code window, or Claude Desktop, so they no longer look closed
110- [VSCode] Added a fold button to permission and question prompts so the conversation behind them can be read without dismissing them; the space beside the prompt now scrolls the conversation
111- [VSCode] Added "Archive session" to the session list's right-click menu and gave Unarchive its own icon
112- [VSCode] Fixed a session teleported from Claude Code on the web treating a question that was cut off when the cloud session shut down as declined
113- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename box opening empty for a tab restored with the window; it now starts with the current name
114- [VSCode] Fixed collapsed sections in the session list panel briefly showing expanded each time the panel loaded
115- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view showing a tool call as still running after Claude had moved on, such as while a question waited for your answer
116- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's active-row highlight going stale when an unfocused Claude tab's session ID is corrected
117- [VSCode] Fixed Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T reopen and deep-link opens placing the Claude tab outside the Claude editor group when a Claude tab has focus
118- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's "Add to group" putting a session opened from Claude Code on the Web in two groups; it now moves the entry the session list shows
119- [VSCode] Fixed the model picker showing models an organization has since disabled until the window was reloaded twice
120- [VSCode] Fixed a tab opened from the session list jumping back to that session, and a tab opened from a Web session restarting its teleport or staying empty, after VS Code reloads the tab's view
121- [VSCode] Fixed `/btw` side-question history from earlier sessions being overwritten when a question is asked right after a window reload or while a settings file has errors
122- [VSCode] Fixed the pending question card not reappearing after the Claude panel reloads when signed in with a Claude.ai or Console account
123- [VSCode] Fixed claude.ai-only features staying visible in a window's other Claude panels after one panel picked up a third-party provider from a settings file
124- [VSCode] Fixed the sign-in screen appearing despite the Disable Login Prompt setting when Claude Code reports no login or a request fails for lack of one
125- [VSCode] Fixed the next queued permission prompt keeping text typed on the previous prompt and accepting an immediate second click
126- [VSCode] Fixed install-plugin links opening the Claude sidebar without the install dialog in a window where only the session list had been shown
127- [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar usage meter staying empty on a new window until the Account & usage dialog was opened, and a 0% usage limit being left out of the meter
128- [VSCode] Fixed "Start new session in this group" losing the group after New conversation, and a missing unread dot for a session that finished before the sidebar's unread list loaded
129- [VSCode] Fixed the editor tab badge showing unread during a running turn or missing on a tab opened from the session list, and "Add Session Tab to Group" doing nothing for an archived session
130- [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" so flipping it also applies right away to sessions open in other VS Code windows
131- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's Open filter for sessions continued from claude.ai whose tab was still recorded under the web session, and labeled the filter menu's sections for screen readers
132- [VSCode] Changed the model picker to one flat list of every model, with rows kept for older model spellings listed last
133
134## 2.1.260
135
136- Added a diff panel that opens beside the conversation in fullscreen mode and shows your uncommitted changes as Claude edits; toggle it with `/diff`
137- Added a likely cause for prompt-cache misses (e.g. tool definitions or system prompt changed, idle past the TTL) to `/cost` and the status line's `prompt_cache` field
138- Added `/reload-plugins` to headless sessions, so it appears in the Claude Code Desktop and SDK command lists
139- Added a text form of `/advisor` (`/advisor`, `/advisor <model>`, `/advisor off`) for the desktop app, Remote Control, and other headless (`-p`/Agent SDK) sessions
140- Added `oidc.scope_on_refresh` to the Claude apps gateway for IdPs that return an id_token on refresh only when asked for `openid` again
141- Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in `desktop` policy blocks, including `userPluginMarketplacesEnabled` and `userPluginUploadsEnabled`
142- Fixed `Edit`/`Write`/`Read` permission rules whose path contains parentheses being dropped as invalid or ignored by the Bash sandbox, which left "read-only" folders writable
143- Fixed one file permission rule with an uncompilable pattern (e.g. an unclosed `[`) making every file edit fail with `Invalid regular expression`; such a deny rule now guards the literal path it spells
144- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving zsh commands that hide a command substitution in a REPORTTIME, REPORTMEMORY or DIRSTACKSIZE assignment; these now prompt for approval
145- Fixed Bedrock model discovery, token counting and AWS SSO/STS credential calls failing with "unable to get local issuer certificate" when the corporate root CA is only in the OS certificate store
146- Fixed `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` on macOS hiding the user's git config from sandboxed git and hiding a worktree-isolated sub-agent's own checkout
147- Fixed managed settings not loading for claude.ai Enterprise/Team users who also had a leftover API key from an earlier `/login`
148- Fixed `/status` listing a signed-in claude.ai account and a configured API key as if both were in effect; the credential not in use is now marked
149- Fixed managed `skillOverrides` entries keyed on a bundled skill's alias (e.g. `checkup` for `/doctor`) not applying, and `Skill(name)` deny rules not covering a nested skill listed as `<dir>:name`
150- Fixed `model: fable` agents ignoring the `[1m]` tag on an `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_FABLE_MODEL` pin and silently running with a 200K context window
151- Fixed the `/model` picker not showing Fable 5.1 for organizations that can use it, which was only accepted when typed as `/model claude-fable-5-1`
152- Fixed prompt caching on Claude Fable 5.1 not covering the context attached after tool results, so it was re-sent as uncached input on every tool-call turn
153- Fixed model switching staying blocked for the rest of the session after a plugin hook load failure; each switch now re-checks and the refusal names the cause
154- Fixed model switching being blocked for the session when an organization-managed plugin's marketplace could not be loaded
155- Fixed SDK-provided MCP servers (e.g. Desktop connectors) sometimes missing from the first turn and only appearing on the next one
156- Fixed Claude in Chrome tools failing with "Not connected" mid-task in cloud-hosted claude.ai sessions when a connector was added or removed
157- Fixed flags, joined emoji and accented letters splitting across wrapped lines, and stale text staying on screen when a flag or joined emoji falls in the terminal's last two columns (now shown as `…`)
158- Fixed Remote Control accepting a model pick that is not a valid model name; it is now refused with an error instead of failing on the next message
159- Fixed `/rewind` and `--rewind-files` reporting success when checkpoint backup files were missing and nothing was actually restored
160- Fixed `/rewind` leaving stale file-read tracking from the rewound-away turns, which caused "File unchanged since last read" stubs and full-file re-injection after external edits
161- Fixed `-p --resume`/`--continue` (as used by the desktop app) failing on every retry once a session's worktree directory lost its git metadata; it now fails once, then resumes without the worktree
162- Fixed a subagent that resumed another agent via SendMessage never being woken by that agent's completion (the notification went to the main conversation instead)
163- Fixed agent teams: an in-process teammate's transcript losing messages, or going blank, during long API retry waits (e.g. under `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG`) as retry notices evicted real messages
164- Fixed a session that moved to the background appearing twice in ListAgents (once as a phantom "interactive" twin with the same name) and receiving SendMessage deliveries in the viewer
165- Fixed intermittent "task output swap refused" errors when many sessions share a project directory
166- Fixed Ctrl+Z in fullscreen leaving the shell on the alternate screen, drawn over the paused interface
167- Fixed Workflow tool subagents being restarted as stalled while a long context compaction was still in progress
168- Fixed plugins from a URL marketplace failing to install with "marketplace entry path does not stay inside the marketplace directory" when a host app (e.g. Claude Desktop) stores it as a directory
169- Fixed an extra browser tab opening when an artifact is published in a session you're driving from claude.ai, the desktop app, or mobile (Remote Control)
170- Fixed the Artifact tool's first call failing with an "Invalid tool parameters" validation error in some Cowork sessions
171- Fixed IDE line selections being dropped when running a skill or slash command (the "N lines selected" context now reaches Claude)
172- Fixed repository detection for GitLab projects in nested subgroups (e.g. `gitlab.com/group/subgroup/project`)
173- Fixed `owner/repo#123` issue references in rendered output linking to github.com when working in a GitLab repository; they now link to the gitlab.com issue
174- Glob/Grep: Fixed the search path being probed on disk before the permission check; a missing path is now reported after permission is decided, as Read does
175- Reverted the 2.1.259 change applying `Read()` deny rules to Bash arguments; it denied `npm run build` under a `Read(./**/build/**)` rule in every mode and made `cd … && grep` prompt even in auto mode
176- Improved structured output: Workflow `agent({schema})` rejects a JSON Schema that can never be satisfied up front, and retry-cap errors now include the last validation failure
177- Improved deleting a background session whose worktree has unpushed commits: the message now names the branch and commit count, and deleting again discards the worktree
178- Improved the Claude apps gateway's refresh-failure log to name the step that failed
179- Improved idle CPU usage of non-interactive (`-p` / SDK) sessions
180- Improved the Claude apps gateway on Amazon Bedrock: input tokens for an aborted request are now counted with AWS's free CountTokens API (grant `bedrock:CountTokens`) instead of a one-token request
181- Improved the settings error for rules such as `Edit(C:\dir\(name)\**)`, where `\(` is read as an escaped parenthesis rather than a path separator, to suggest an unambiguous spelling
182- Improved auto-compact for 1M-context models: Opus and Fable sessions now compact shortly before the 1M-token limit, and recovery compaction on very large contexts no longer times out at 10 minutes
183- Improved `/ultrareview` and `claude ultrareview` to wait up to 45 minutes (previously 30) for long-running cloud reviews
184- Improved `/effort` on Claude Fable 5.1 so changing effort mid-session no longer invalidates the prompt cache
185- Updated the bundled `claude-api` skill so its Go, Java, and C# samples use current-generation model IDs, and clarified that cheaper worker or sub-agent models should be current-generation too
186- Changed `ctrl+l` / `cmd+k` in fullscreen mode to clear the transcript view like a terminal `clear`; scroll up to see earlier messages
187- Changed permission rules with text after the closing parenthesis (e.g. `Bash(ls) x`), which never matched anything, to be reported as invalid settings instead of being silently ignored
188- Changed server-managed settings so a managed CLAUDE.md (`claudeMd`) no longer triggers the security approval dialog; hooks, shell-command, sandbox, and unsafe `env` settings still require approval
189- Changed Claude in Chrome to follow your organization's Claude in Chrome admin setting; when an admin turns it off, `--chrome`, `/chrome` and the browser tools are unavailable
190- Changed Claude apps gateway to send `orgPluginSettings` in the list form read by Claude Desktop 1.15200.0 and later; older desktops ignore it
191- Changed Claude apps gateway to also refuse to start, naming the field, when a `desktop` policy misspells a field in a nested object of a `managedMcpServers` or `orgPluginSettings` entry
192- Changed commands typed at the `!` bash-mode prompt to run outside the sandbox even when strict sandbox mode (`sandbox.allowUnsandboxedCommands: false`) is on, like typing into your own terminal
193- Changed self-hosted runner `--kill-session-after-min` to release a session that is only waiting on its user (paused, resumable on the next message) instead of killing it and reporting a failure
194- Removed the one-hour time limit on background commands started by subagents; they now run until they exit or are stopped, matching the main session
195- [VSCode] Added the selected effort level to the footer model pill, fixed a stale effort level after switching models, and returned the footer pills to their earlier compact size
196- [VSCode] Added Open and Closed to the session list's status filter menu
197- [VSCode] Fixed the welcome screen disappearing in a new session when Remote Control turns on automatically
198- [VSCode] Fixed the session history picker loading a session a second time when it is already open in another tab; it now switches to that tab
199- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename command silently doing nothing while the tab's view was reloading; it now always applies
200- [VSCode] Fixed a half-finished message, an empty tool card or an extra "Thought for" line staying on screen after Claude Code retried a dropped response
201- [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" not applying to a session tab that was still starting when the toggle was flipped
202
203## 2.1.259
204
205- Added `managedMcpServers` managed setting: organizations can provide HTTP/SSE MCP servers to every user (same entry shape as `.mcp.json`); entries that name a command to run are skipped
206- Added `--permission-prompts none` for unattended headless hosts: anything that would prompt is denied automatically while the active permission mode (including auto mode) keeps deciding
207- Added recognition of `glab mr create/merge/close/reopen/note/update` so GitLab merge requests show as `MR !N` in the collapsed tool summary and refresh the footer MR badge
208- Added `--json` to `claude plugin validate` for a machine-readable validation report
209- Fixed concurrent sessions silently reverting each other's `~/.claude.json` changes — workspace trust no longer resets and MCP/project state is no longer lost when running many sessions at once
210- Fixed a conversation whose thinking was rejected once being rejected again on every later turn
211- Fixed Bash `Read()` deny rules not covering files given as option values (`--ignore-revs-file=.env`, `-f.env`, `@file`), `git diff`/`git grep` file operands, or `cd DIR && cat FILE` compounds; `grep -r`/`cp -r` over a directory holding a denied file now asks
212- Fixed the prompt cache being invalidated when the OAuth token refreshed in sessions with telemetry disabled
213- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank conversation after a long turn with hundreds of tool calls
214- Fixed auto mode running a turn on a model it doesn't support when a command or skill's frontmatter `model:` named one; the turn now keeps the session model
215- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS` being ignored for Vertex-style model IDs (`@YYYYMMDD` suffix) of model versions Claude Code doesn't recognize
216- Fixed the live output preview of a running shell command hiding its newest lines when an earlier line wrapped
217- Fixed a background GitHub connection check that ran on every launch for claude.ai users; the result is now remembered across launches
218- Fixed `--resume` failing (and `--continue` opening an empty conversation) when a saved session contains an attachment entry with no payload
219- Fixed frontmatter `model:` on custom commands and skills being ignored in interactive sessions
220- Fixed Artifact publishing failing once with an "unexpected parameter `note`" error in conversations continued from an older version
221- Fixed managed `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` being ignored at startup when a policy helper configured by MDM or the managed settings file had already run
222- Fixed worktree isolation refusing hook-created worktrees on machines where `git rev-parse` fails with a message other than "not a git repository"
223- Fixed OpenTelemetry metrics and events from cloud sessions missing the `user.email`, `organization.id`, and `user.account_uuid` attributes
224- Fixed MCP servers that disconnect while their tools are being listed at startup showing as connected with no tools instead of reporting the error
225- Fixed the file edit permission dialog sometimes showing a changed line cut short with no indication
226- Fixed repository detection dropping a known repo identity after a transient git probe failure
227- Fixed managed settings silently going unenforced when the managed-settings file, a drop-in, the MDM plist, or the HKLM value cannot be parsed: Claude Code now refuses to start and names the source
228- Fixed Stop not actually stopping background agents and workflows in remote-control sessions: killed tasks now stay visible and re-stoppable until their processes exit
229- Fixed resuming a workflow run while its previous stopped run was still exiting, which could run duplicate copies of its agents
230- Fixed marketplace repo URLs on github.com with a trailing slash or dangling `?`/`#` producing an unusable `.git` clone URL
231- Fixed blocking Stop hooks causing the turn after a block to lose the model's reasoning from that turn and, on some models, miss the prompt cache
232- Fixed remote (claude.ai) sessions taking 60 seconds to start a turn after a browser-hosted MCP server's page had gone away
233- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing common Bash loops, xargs pipelines and launcher-wrapped commands that cannot reach the main checkout
234- Improved terminal resize and first-render performance for long responses by reusing text measurements
235- Improved `/workflows` agent detail: JSON outcomes are pretty-printed with syntax colors and real line breaks, and long outcomes fold behind an expand toggle
236- Improved headless/SDK session start: the first turn begins up to 50 ms sooner when MCP servers finish connecting
237- Improved `/install-github-app` to explain it is GitHub-only and point to the GitLab CI/CD docs when run inside a GitLab repository
238- Improved nested background subagent results to be saved in the parent subagent's transcript, so resumed subagents keep them and shared transcripts show the delivery
239- Changed `allowedMcpServers` to govern only servers users add: a literal `managed-mcp.json` server your allowlist used to filter out now loads on upgrade; use `deniedMcpServers` to keep it off
240- [VSCode] Added an Active quick filter and a status filter menu (Needs input, Working, Completed) to the session list sidebar
241- Fixed remote and scheduled sessions doing nothing after a connector-tool permission prompt was approved while the session was paused
242
243## 2.1.258
244
245- Fixed Claude Code failing to launch on macOS 12 (Monterey), a regression introduced in 2.1.255
246- Fixed remote and scheduled sessions failing with "user messages must have non-empty content" after a re-sent permission approval could not be applied
247
248## 2.1.257
249
250- Added Claude Fable 5.1 (`claude-fable-5-1`), now the default Fable model — 1M context, $10/$50 per Mtok with $0.25/Mtok cache reads
251- Added "Time format" (`timeFormat`) and `timeZone` settings: 12-hour, 24-hour, 24-hour UTC, or a strftime pattern for the turn-end clock and transcript-view timestamps
252- Added a Containment Escape rule to auto mode so cloud metadata-credential fetches, egress evasion, and cross-tenant reach are no longer auto-approved unless your environment marks them expected
253- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL_FORCE` to apply `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` (or the main model) to every subagent, ignoring per-spawn and agent-definition model overrides
254- Added `s` in `/effort` to change effort for the current session only, matching `/model`
255- Added a `/doctor` warning for stale sandbox mask files left by a killed session
256- Added a one-time prompt in auto mode before the first file read outside the working directories, with the option to block such reads (`permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories`)
257- Added support for a gateway-supplied `description` on discovered `/model` picker entries (`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY`); entries without one still read "From gateway"
258- Fixed settings in a `.claude/` folder created after startup not being picked up until restart
259- Fixed sessions dispatched from an agent view opened with `←` always starting in the original session's permission mode, overriding the target directory's `defaultMode` and the agent's `permissionMode`
260- Fixed `keybindings.json` rebinds of Ctrl+G being ignored in `claude agents`; its Ctrl+S / Ctrl+T are now rebindable via the new `Agents` context
261- Fixed background sessions failing to start on macOS npm installs during a self-update, and on Windows when a stale daemon lock file pointed at a reused process id
262- Fixed the working spinner stopping while a response streams behind a slash-command panel
263- Fixed a background session's `state.json` `detail` repeating its own dispatch prompt after a scheduled wake-up
264- Fixed `claude agents` keeping a background session you re-prompted buried in Completed after it finished again; Completed now orders by the latest finish
265- Fixed `claude --bg` from a directory that was just deleted reporting "backgrounded" and leaving a crashed session row; it now prints the reason and exits 1
266- Fixed Remote Control connecting mid-session re-sending the Bash tool definition, causing a prompt-cache miss
267- Fixed a doubly-listed custom `Authorization` header overriding the configured credential on Bedrock, Mantle, Vertex, and WIF, and the Vertex setup wizard picking up a leftover Anthropic profile from `~/.config/anthropic`
268- Fixed Claude apps gateway sending stray host `Authorization` or profile headers to Foundry, Vertex, and Bedrock, and Foundry Entra ID upstreams not starting when `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY` is set
269- Fixed a leftover Anthropic API key or auth token being sent alongside your Foundry subscription key in API-key mode
270- Fixed `/schedule` routines whose prompt was saved without a message role and then ran with nothing to do
271- Fixed `claude agents` not saying that a background session is waiting for you to approve a message from another session, or who sent it
272- Fixed a prompt stashed with Ctrl+S inside an opened background session being lost when the session went idle or was stopped and then reopened
273- Fixed telemetry (OTEL) settings pushed through server-managed settings being ignored on warm starts, including desktop-app Code sessions
274- Fixed a teammate permission request being answered twice when the leader's mailbox write was briefly locked
275- Fixed a phantom duplicate slash-command row rendering below the in-flight turn while a command's auto-continued response streamed
276- Fixed `policyHelper` `timeoutMs` and `refreshIntervalMs` values above the timer maximum (2147483647) causing failures or re-runs every millisecond; they are now clamped
277- Fixed the token counter freezing or crawling after switching to another subagent's transcript, and made background subagents' and teammates' counters update live while a response streams
278- Fixed sandbox network hosts written with a trailing dot (`example.com.`): a `deniedDomains` entry didn't block the host inside the sandbox, and "don't ask again" for such a host kept prompting
279- Fixed dismissing the Remote Control consent prompt (Esc, or `n` at `claude remote-control`) counting as consent, so the next request connected without asking
280- Fixed `/mcp` reconnect and enable still connecting a settings-file MCP server that a managed MCP allow/deny list or `strictPluginOnlyCustomization` loaded after startup should block
281- Fixed `claude mcp remove` leaving a remote server's stored OAuth credentials behind when `strictPluginOnlyCustomization` locks MCP to plugin-only servers
282- Fixed Remote Control (`claude remote-control`) sessions started from the Claude app ignoring the selected model and running on the machine's default instead
283- Fixed `--disallowedTools` and session deny rules being dropped after the first settings reload when `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly` is enabled
284- Fixed `--resume` listing a backgrounded conversation twice and `--continue` reopening its stalled pre-background copy; `--continue` now also opens finished background sessions
285- Fixed fullscreen mode not letting you click `!` shell command output to expand it
286- Fixed background sessions left running an older Claude Code binary piling up across auto-updates instead of being retired
287- Fixed `claude agents --json` briefly switching the terminal to raw mode and undoing another program's terminal settings on exit
288- Fixed Proactive output style sessions busy-looping with filler messages and repeated log reads instead of idling while a background command or Monitor they started is still running
289- Fixed subagents stopping when a response was cut off mid-stream by a computer sleep, dropped connection, or server error; they now automatically continue instead of ending with an incomplete response
290- Fixed `←` doing nothing in the `/btw` panel inside a `claude agents` session: it now returns to the agents list (even mid-answer), and the panel comes back when you reopen the session
291- Fixed sessions with an advisor model set missing the prompt cache on background requests (compaction, `/recap`, prompt suggestions) and re-sending the full conversation uncached each time
292- Fixed `claude -p` exiting about 5 seconds after its final result while a Monitor the model armed was still running; it now waits for the watch to fire or time out
293- Fixed a `permissions.ask` rule being skipped in auto mode when the matching command ran inside a compound command or subshell, letting it run without the confirmation prompt
294- Fixed plugins being able to read files outside their own directory through a declared command, agent, skill, hooks or other component path that is a symlink; such paths are now refused with an error
295- Fixed `/add-dir` rejecting a directory inside the current working directory; it now loads that directory's skills, commands, and agents like `--add-dir` does at startup
296- Fixed the main agent not being told when you resume a subagent you had stopped from its transcript view
297- Fixed a crash when pasting ANSI-colored text (e.g. a CI log) into dialogs like `/feedback`
298- Fixed `claude mcp add/remove` hanging or exhausting memory when the project's `.mcp.json` is a FIFO or a device-file symlink; it now fails fast with an actionable message
299- Fixed unbounded memory growth when non-JSONL data is piped into `claude -p --input-format stream-json`; it now fails fast with a clear error
300- Fixed backgrounding a turn (`←` or Ctrl+B) while a subagent or other tool was running occasionally making the background session treat that tool as rejected instead of re-running it
301- Fixed Bash `Read()`/`Edit()` deny rules not applying to `< file` redirects and reader commands like `tac` and `egrep`; a deny rule on any argument or redirect target now refuses the command
302- Fixed resuming or messaging a subagent whose transcript had grown past 5 MB (for example after reading many images) failing with "No transcript found"
303- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing Bash loops, `$VAR` reads, `"$(…)"` and heredocs that never touch git as "too complex to verify that it stays inside the worktree"
304- Fixed `/model` and `/effort` showing a prompt-cache warning after rewinding a conversation back to empty
305- Fixed prompt-cache misses on every turn in long screenshot-heavy sessions once images exceeded the per-request size cap
306- Fixed the Edit permission prompt's diff view rendering emoji and multi-code-point characters with incorrect widths
307- Fixed WebSocket MCP server connection failures being logged as "[object ErrorEvent]" instead of the underlying error
308- Fixed background sessions failing to open with "Couldn't start the background service" while another Claude Code process was downloading an npm update; the start now waits for it
309- Fixed background commands that detach from their shell (for example under `timeout` or `setsid`) surviving a task stop or Claude Code exit
310- Fixed Claude not being told when you stop a background command from the tasks panel or a connected client
311- Fixed stopping a background subagent leaving its monitors running
312- Fixed sandboxed git commands in a linked worktree losing write access to the repository's common `.git` directory after `cd` into a subdirectory
313- Fixed Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle requests going silent during long hidden-thinking phases on Opus 4.7 and later, which let idle timeouts cut the connection; the stream now carries progress events
314- Fixed launching Claude Code after a Claude apps gateway expired or revoked your session: it now says the session ended and offers `/login` instead of reporting a network error
315- Fixed cloud sessions losing git/GitHub credentials for the rest of the session when the session's network proxy failed to start at launch; it now retries in the background and recovers
316- Fixed leftover `cc-daemon-*` folders in the system temp directory after an interrupted background daemon start; the `cleanupPeriodDays` retention sweep now removes them
317- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving certain `[[ ]]` conditionals that zsh parses differently from bash; these commands now prompt for approval
318- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt showing the generic warning instead of its telemetry wording when the settings also turn detailed tracing or raw API body logging off, or trace export on
319- Fixed agent-team teammates in tmux/iTerm2 panes sometimes staying open after acknowledging a shutdown request
320- Fixed the keyless Console sign-in ("Sign in with your Console account") not applying your organization's server-managed settings, and `/status` not showing the Organization for that sign-in
321- Improved rendering performance: less re-render work per turn in long conversations, streaming no longer slows down as the reply grows, and background-agent updates no longer re-render the whole screen
322- Improved prompt input responsiveness by reducing per-keystroke rendering work
323- Improved policy helper diagnostics — refresh failures now show in `/status`, declining the managed-settings dialog prints why Claude Code exited, and helper timeouts are reported as timeouts
324- Improved `/code-review --comment` to post findings on GitLab merge requests via `glab mr note` instead of reporting the target as unsupported
325- Improved notifications: an MCP elicitation or permission ask queued under another dialog now sends its idle desktop notification at the same delay as a visible ask
326- Improved verbose/transcript output: async hook completion notices that arrive together now appear on one line instead of one line per hook
327- Improved `claude self-hosted-runner --configure-git` to also enable git push negotiation, so the first push of a new branch from a stale clone uploads only the new commits instead of the whole tree
328- Improved liveness reporting to SDK hosts while a response is held open by gateway keep-alives, so long waits under a raised `CLAUDE_STREAM_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` are not mistaken for a hung session
329- Improved MCP connection and OAuth debug/error logs so credentials carried in a server's URL or request headers are redacted
330- Improved `/fork` to keep the original conversation's prompt cache in the new background session: its worktree briefing now arrives as a message instead of a system-prompt change
331- Improved emoji autocomplete to accept the remaining GitHub/Slack shortcode aliases (`:satisfied:`, `:telephone:`, `:collision:`, …)
332- Changed `--effort` to lift a new model's default-effort hold for that session only rather than permanently; an effort picked on claude.ai for a Remote Control session now applies during the hold
333- Changed a `policyHelper` in MDM or `managed-settings.json` shadowed at launch by cached server-managed settings to run (or exit) as soon as the fetch reports them removed, not at the next launch
334- Changed `managedSourcesBehavior: "merge"` to take `sandbox.credentials.awsPairs` and `sandbox.ripgrep` whole from the highest managed source that sets them instead of combining the sources' values
335- Changed gateway model discovery (`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY=1`) to run even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC` is set, since it only queries your gateway
336- Changed `claude --resume <session-id> --bg` to continue that session under its own ID when nothing is running it, instead of silently starting a copy; a copy is now announced
337- Changed `/btw` history browsing from `←`/`→` to `Shift+←`/`Shift+→` (or `[`/`]`), stepping through your recent side questions and back to the live answer
338- Changed `defaultMode: "bypassPermissions"` in `.claude/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.local.json` to be ignored, like `"auto"`; set it in user or managed settings, or pass `--permission-mode`
339- Changed `fable` and `best` in Claude apps gateway sessions to keep resolving to Fable 5 for now, since gateways not yet configured for Fable 5.1 reject it; pick Fable 5.1 in `/model` to use it
340- Changed `--add-dir`, `/add-dir`, and `additionalDirectories` to refuse network paths (UNC shares, `/net/<host>` automounts) with a message before touching them; on Windows use a mapped drive letter
341- Changed Claude apps gateway sign-in and token refresh requests to verify the gateway's pinned TLS certificate, as the managed settings fetch already does
342- Changed Cowork and claude.ai cloud sessions: reading an artifact that isn't yours now always asks you first, even in auto mode
343- Removed the Ctrl+E command explanation on Bash and PowerShell permission prompts
344- [VSCode] Added collapsible ACCOUNT & USAGE and SESSION MANAGER section headers to the session list panel, with the account email, the usage meter, and a View details link opening the usage dialog
345- [VSCode] Added a model pill to the input footer that shows the current model and opens the model picker, with an Effort row and a "More models" page
346- [VSCode] Added a collapse toggle to the Ungrouped section of the session list
347- [VSCode] Added output style selection to the command menu, including custom styles
348- [VSCode] Fixed third-party provider deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, and others) still showing claude.ai-only features (remote sessions, dictation, usage) and calling claude.ai with a leftover login
349- [VSCode] Fixed the session list panel's usage meter staying blank after the panel loads; it now shows the last known usage immediately
350- [VSCode] Fixed the "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" toggle so turning it on or off applies to sessions that are already open, not only to new ones
351- [VSCode] Fixed screen reader announcements: a control character before a fence or heading no longer drops visible lines from speech, and bold markers spanning a heading are no longer mis-paired
352- [VSCode] Changed the action menu to list slash commands in a filterable "Slash commands" dialog instead of inline; picking one runs it; the MCP servers dialog gained the same filter box
353- [VSCode] Changed "Delete session" to "Archive session": archived sessions move to a collapsible "Archived sessions" group at the bottom of the list with an Unarchive action
354
355## 2.1.252
356
357- Fixed Bash commands failing with "task output swap refused (tasks dir moved or linked)" on some Macs
358- Fixed "always allow" not saving in a project that has no .claude/settings.local.json yet
359- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by Claude Desktop or VS Code stalling for minutes after a tool finished when the connection to claude.ai was degraded
360- Fixed background task notifications with very large failure output (for example git errors on a full disk) making the conversation exceed the API request size limit
361
362## 2.1.251
363
364- Added `PreModelSwitch` and `PostModelSwitch` hook events (block, confirm, or annotate a model switch); `SessionStart` resume hooks now receive session staleness and the estimated re-cache cost
365- Added live streaming of a foreground subagent's tool calls and results to Remote Control clients (background subagents, the default, still show status only)
366- Added a Spend limit bar to `/usage` and a `rate_limits.spend_limit` status line field for developers behind a Claude apps gateway with spend limits
367- Added a per-session prompt-cache line to `/cost` (hit ratio, misses, tokens re-cached, warm/cold) and a matching `prompt_cache` object for status line scripts
368- Added `attach`, `logs`, `stop`, `respawn`, and `rm` to `claude --help`; the `--resume` message for a running background session now names the exact `claude attach <id>` command
369- Fixed file tools (Read, Write, Edit) following a symlink swapped inside the working directory after the permission check, which could read or write outside the approved location
370- Fixed plugin commands declared in a marketplace entry being able to point outside the plugin directory; such paths are now rejected with a path-traversal error
371- Fixed project settings being able to enable detailed beta tracing or raw API body logging, and a lower-scope beta tracing endpoint bypassing an OTLP collector pinned by managed settings or a host app
372- Fixed the Workflow tool reading (and quoting in errors) a `scriptPath` outside what the session may read before the permission check ran
373- Fixed Grep and Glob not applying `Read(...)` deny rules to files reached through a symlinked search path
374- Fixed conversations getting stuck on "text content blocks must be non-empty" errors after a turn where the model produced only thinking
375- Fixed the first launch on a fresh install starting in default mode instead of auto mode for accounts whose startup default is auto mode
376- Fixed Opus 5 requests failing with "effort … is not supported when thinking is disabled" when effort was xhigh/max and thinking was turned off; effort is now sent as `high` in that case
377- Fixed replying to a message Claude Desktop delivered from another session: `SendMessage` to that session id now delivers through Claude Desktop instead of failing with "not reachable"
378- Fixed TUI lag with many parallel subagents: per-second progress ticks now replace their predecessor instead of piling up in the transcript
379- Fixed agent teams: a teammate's final answer not reaching the team lead — it now arrives in the idle notification instead of a content-free "available" notice
380- Fixed background subagents being unable to reply to a message from an unnamed sibling or parent agent (`from` was the agent type, which is not an address)
381- Fixed managed-settings `disableAutoMode` arriving mid-session not moving an already-running auto-mode session back to default mode
382- Fixed a "switch to Opus 1M for 5x more context" tip that appeared even when the current Opus model already has a 1M context window
383- Fixed Claude apps gateway sessions treating a stored Anthropic profile (e.g. a Console sign-in) as active: listing it in `/status` and retrying gateway 401s with it, though requests never use it
384- Fixed cloud sessions telling Claude the model had changed when the host was only setting the session's initial model
385- Fixed Remote Control reporting a failure when an organization's policy disables it; it now shows a single quiet notice instead
386- Fixed `/mcp reconnect` on Remote Control showing a generic withheld-detail error instead of the real remedy when a server was disabled in another session
387- Fixed `--input-format stream-json`: client-injected assistant tool calls sent without a message id were merged into the first one and their results lost, including when resuming older sessions
388- Fixed session transcripts being silently overwritten when a directory change relocated a session onto an existing same-ID transcript
389- Fixed background sessions and their subagents being unable to edit files inside a git worktree they created with `git worktree add`
390- Fixed background sessions occasionally starting without any plugin skills (and staying that way) when another Claude Code process was refreshing the plugin marketplace at the same moment
391- Fixed selecting text in an opened background session inside tmux over SSH: it now copies to the tmux buffer like a foreground session instead of falling back to OSC 52
392- Fixed SDK and cloud sessions hanging indefinitely when an SDK MCP server's handshake acknowledgment was lost; the wait now times out after 70 seconds and marks only that server failed
393- Fixed self-hosted runner leaving a stuck session's Bash tool processes running after the session was force-stopped
394- Fixed `/usage-credits` for Team and Enterprise members whose admin set the org's usage-credit limit to $0: it now offers to ask the admin instead of saying a cap was reached
395- Fixed `--worktree --tmux` with a merge-request number on a gitlab.com origin trying a doomed GitHub-style fetch first instead of fetching the GitLab ref directly
396- Fixed Ctrl+G failing with "Emacs quit unexpectedly" in background sessions for editors that open `/dev/tty`, such as `emacs -nw` and `micro`
397- Fixed an `additionalDirectories` entry containing a null byte crashing startup, or breaking `/add-dir` and later settings updates when it came from an SDK host, IDE, or hook; it is now skipped
398- Fixed the MCP server menu's copy shortcut: it now says how the sign-in URL was copied instead of always claiming success
399- Fixed italic text (such as the session recap line) rendering as highlighted blocks in GNU screen and in tmux sessions using a `screen` terminal type
400- Fixed `claude mcp add --header` and `claude mcp add-json` help text naming the wrong transports
401- Fixed `claude ultrareview` and `/ultrareview` waiting the full 30 minutes when the cloud session fails to start; they now stop early and report the reason
402- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving commands that assign an arithmetic expression to an integer shell variable (e.g. `OPTIND=1/0`, `RANDOM=2+2`); these now prompt for approval
403- Fixed backgrounded sessions (`←`, `/background`, `--bg`) losing a Vertex/Bedrock gateway (`ANTHROPIC_*_BASE_URL` + `CLAUDE_CODE_SKIP_*_AUTH`) exported in the shell, so every request failed
404- Fixed `claude --bg --model fable` on Max plans stopping to ask for usage credits while the interactive session on the same account still had Fable allowance
405- Fixed the one-time "make auto mode your default" offer appearing in unattended sessions (e.g. agent-team teammate panes), where a stray keypress could accept it unread
406- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt re-appearing after signing in again to the same Claude apps gateway when the settings are unchanged
407- Fixed disabled `/bug` and `/share` reporting that `/feedback` was disabled; tips, `/help`, and refusal messages no longer suggest `/feedback` when an org policy or env var turns it off
408- Fixed cloud session creation advising GitHub setup after a transient GitHub connection failure — the message now says to retry instead
409- Improved CPU usage during turns in interactive sessions by cutting redundant UI re-renders
410- Improved install size: the native binary is about 5 MB smaller
411- Improved cloud sessions: when the session's network proxy drops a connection during a Bash command, the tool result now names the host and reason instead of only "connection reset"
412- Improved `/schedule` to explain that MCP servers configured in Claude Code can't be attached to cloud routines, instead of a bare "No MCP connectors" message
413- Improved framing of messages from your own subagents: Claude is told the sender is a worker inside this session, not an unrelated Claude session
414- Improved the prompt placeholder to read "Message @name…" while viewing a background subagent or fork transcript opened from the subagent panel or `/tasks`
415- Improved sanitization of MCP server names in error messages, menus, and command results
416- Improved Amazon Bedrock session start under `CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST` (e.g. Claude Desktop): a session given a Bedrock model ID or ARN no longer waits for inference-profile discovery
417- Improved the managed settings approval dialog to list only the settings that changed since you last approved them
418- Improved retry when the model's tool call is malformed: the broken output is now dropped from the retry context, including on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry
419- Changed `/radio` to be available on Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, and when telemetry is disabled
420- Changed Claude in Chrome so browser actions always go through Claude Code's permission checks, including in sessions with telemetry disabled, which previously used the Chrome extension's own prompts
421- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` to set the default subagent model rather than override everything: an agent definition's `model:` and an explicit per-spawn model now take precedence over it
422- Changed the default commit trailer to `Co-Authored-By: Claude Code` when the active model isn't a recognized Claude model (e.g. third-party models behind a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`)
423- Changed the default model for seat-based Enterprise subscriptions to Opus 5, matching other premium plans
424- Changed `/effort` to save your default effort level per model, so each model keeps its own setting when you switch
425- Changed analytics to no longer turn off before sign-in solely because managed settings force gateway login (or cannot be read); they stay off once signed in to the gateway or via `DISABLE_TELEMETRY`
426- Changed the footer PR badge on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, and when telemetry is off, to call the GitHub API directly (via `gh auth token`, `GH_TOKEN`, or `GITHUB_TOKEN`) instead of `gh pr view`
427- Changed how Bash command output files are created and read back when commands run in the sandbox, so a sandboxed command cannot redirect or replace them
428- Changed plugin/LSP install suggestions and the auto-mode default offer to wait until you've sent or cleared what you're typing, so the Enter that sends your prompt can't answer them
429- Changed server-managed settings that terminate sandbox TLS, route sandbox traffic through your own proxy, inject credentials, or weaken sandbox isolation to require approval before they apply
430- Changed `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS` from managed or project settings to require approval when it sets a credential, org/tenant, routing, or API-behavior header (e.g. `Authorization`, `Host`)
431- Changed project-level `.claude/settings.json` `env` to no longer set `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR`, or `TMPDIR`/`TMP`/`TEMP`; set them in your shell, user, or managed settings instead
432- Removed syntax highlighting for six rarely used languages (1c, gml, isbl, mathematica, maxima, sqf); the binary is 2.5 MB smaller
433- [VSCode] Fixed the sign-in screen's "Bedrock, Foundry, or Vertex" button opening the docs at the top of the page instead of the third-party provider setup section
434- [VSCode] Changed the Remote Control banner to a footer pill (shown while Remote Control is on or has failed) that opens the session on claude.ai/code; turn it on or off with `/remote-control`
435
436## 2.1.250
437
438- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
439
440## 2.1.248
441
442- Added `--restricted` (or `CLAUDE_CODE_RESTRICTED=1`): removes the built-in tools that run commands or code and `WebFetch` (unless named in `--tools`), keeps file tools inside the working directory, refuses `bypassPermissions`, and ignores user, project and local settings files
443- Added `experimental.cacheTtl` (`"5m"` or `"1h"`) to agent frontmatter: a per-agent prompt cache TTL used when no subagent TTL setting is configured
444- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --client-label <label>` (or `SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_CLIENT_LABEL`) to override the label the runner registers with (default: hostname)
445- Added server-managed settings diagnostics: a startup warning when the settings fail to load, and a `/doctor` and `/status` line explaining a load failure or why they weren't fetched (Bedrock/Vertex/third-party provider, custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`)
446- Added a warning in `/web-setup` when the GitHub CLI token lacks the `workflow` scope, since pushes to very large repositories can be rejected without it
447- Added `/usage-credits` for Enterprise organizations billed through AWS Marketplace, self-serve Enterprise, and Enterprise trials, so members can request a higher usage limit from their admin
448- Added cross-session messaging (`SendMessage` / `ListAgents`) between sessions on the same machine on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, and when telemetry is disabled
449- Fixed a prompt-cache miss (and lost extended-thinking context) roughly once an hour in long sessions, caused by tool definitions being re-rendered after an OAuth token refresh
450- Fixed the `ScheduleWakeup` tool definition changing between a session and its `--resume` when the account had entered usage overage, causing a full prompt-cache miss on the resumed session's first turn
451- Fixed Claude Desktop and Cowork sessions disappearing after 30 days: the transcript cleanup now keeps desktop-written sessions while they are in the app (unless org policy manages retention); the new `desktopSessionCleanupPeriodDays` setting caps the exemption
452- Fixed being sent to the login screen when another Claude Code process held the token refresh lock while the session token had expired; the request now fails with a retryable error instead
453- Windows: Fixed the `claude agents` list not responding to the keyboard after detaching from a session, or when launched in a terminal tab left in win32-input-mode
454- Fixed the recommended Console sign-in in `/login` failing with an OAuth error before showing a sign-in URL on machines where it can't be used (for example when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or an API key helper is set); it now falls back to the API-key sign-in
455- Fixed model names in `/model` and fast-mode switch notices to render as code, so suffixes like `[1m]` display literally instead of as a link
456- Fixed `claude agents` skipping the workspace trust prompt when the `CI` environment variable is set
457- Fixed `claude agents` crashing on launch when the PR-status cache held a malformed entry
458- Fixed agent view resurrecting a weeks-old background session after the machine was off: such a session now shows as stopped at its real end, and opening it asks before resuming its saved conversation
459- Fixed agent view sometimes opening an older conversation, and dropping the typed prompt, when starting a new session
460- Fixed `claude agents`: opening a stopped session that you already resumed in another terminal no longer starts a second process on that conversation; the row now says it is open in a terminal
461- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude rm` refusing to delete a session ("has commits that are not pushed anywhere") when its worktree branch was already merged into your checked-out default branch (e.g. local `main`) but not yet pushed
462- Fixed background sessions waiting silently when a `PermissionRequest` or `PreToolUse` hook prints an invalid answer: the `claude agents` row now names the hook and the schema error
463- Fixed hooks silently treating a stdout `{…}` object that isn't valid JSON as plain text; it's now reported as a hook error with the parse message
464- Fixed `/mcp` listing a project `.mcp.json` entry that declares the claude.ai connector type under the trusted "claude.ai" heading; it now appears under its real scope
465- Fixed MCP servers whose `headersHelper` supplies the `Authorization` header falling into OAuth discovery on a 401 instead of re-running the helper and retrying the call as documented
466- Fixed `/login` to a Claude apps gateway hanging when the managed-settings security approval dialog was required
467- Fixed gateway model discovery (`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY`) never running when `apiKeyHelper` is the only credential
468- Fixed `claude logs` leaving mouse tracking, bracketed paste and the alternate screen switched on in the terminal it was run from
469- Fixed the trust dialog's list of repo permission rules showing a garbled character when a long rule was cut off in the middle of an emoji
470- Fixed the permission mode indicator staying hidden behind the "Press Ctrl-C again to exit" hint when you press shift+tab right after ctrl+c
471- Fixed `/ultrareview` and locally seeded cloud sessions uploading uncommitted edits to `prod.env`-style and `*.tfvars` files, or to editor swap, temp, and backup copies of credential files (e.g. `key.pem.tmp`, `id_rsa.swo`); they now stay on your machine
472- Fixed Remote Control sessions occasionally never showing a permission prompt or the latest messages on the connected device after the CLI silently reconnected
473- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally failing at startup when the container's session credentials were not yet readable
474- Fixed `claude remote-control` rejecting its own flags (e.g. `--spawn`, `--name`) when a global flag or a wrapper-injected option precedes the subcommand
475- Fixed startup warnings (e.g. "N MCP servers need authentication") rendering one column right of the rest of the transcript
476- Fixed a backgrounded worktree session losing its checkout: the background session now holds the worktree's lock while it runs, so cleanup and `git worktree remove` leave it alone
477- Fixed @-mentions of other sessions not matching names typed with non-Latin characters (for example Korean entered through an IME)
478- Fixed an invalid `crossSessionInbound` value being silently ignored: it now warns and holds cross-session messages (user settings) or refuses them (managed settings) until fixed
479- Fixed rate-limit, usage, and fast-mode messages telling you to run `/usage-credits` when that command isn't available for your organization (e.g. hidden with `DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND`)
480- [VSCode] Fixed a chat tab getting stuck on "No conversation found" when its session was never saved; it now starts a new conversation instead
481- Improved the Workflow tool's prompt footprint: its description is now about 1k tokens instead of 5.7k, with the script-writing reference moved into a bundled `workflow-authoring` skill
482- Improved the prompt-footer PR badge to check GitHub less often while the pull request is unchanged; a push or a `gh pr` command still refreshes it right away
483- Improved managed settings: client-side timeout, MCP startup-mode, and stream-watchdog env vars no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
484- Improved `/ultrareview <PR#>` to check before launch that the GitHub account connected to your Claude account can access the repository, and to explain how to fix it, instead of failing after the cloud session starts
485- Improved cross-session messaging: falls back to a private per-user `/tmp` directory when the default one can't be used, and the notice and `/status` name the directory to fix
486- Changed shift+enter in the agent view dispatch input to insert a newline (matching the prompt); ctrl+enter now dispatches and attaches
487- Changed `/loop`: self-paced dynamic mode and the no-prompt autonomous default are now always available, including on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
488- Changed Anthropic telemetry export failures to log at debug level as `[Anthropic telemetry]` instead of `[3P telemetry] OTEL diag error`, so they are not mistaken for your OTel collector failing
489- Changed cross-session messaging in Linux user namespaces: root-equivalent trust for unmapped owners is limited to canonical system directories
490- Changed `SendMessage` from a subagent to another session: the result now notes that any reply is delivered to the parent session's conversation, not to the subagent
491
492## 2.1.247
493
494- Added the `SendFeedback` tool: when something goes wrong in a session, Claude can draft a feedback report for you to review and send from `/feedback` (turn off with the `feedbackDrafts` setting)
495- Added `{id, text, cooldownSessions, priority}` entries, `tipsFile`, and `label` to `spinnerTipsOverride`, so organizations can rotate their own tips alongside the built-in ones
496- Added a tip on Bash permission prompts pointing to auto mode, with a one-keystroke "Yes, and switch to auto mode" option
497- Added `/claude-api cost-optimize` to profile an existing project's Claude API spend and work through cost levers (caching, token hygiene, batch, effort, model choice) one measured change at a time
498- Updated the `/claude-api` skill with Admin API coverage (organization members, invites, workspaces, API keys, rate limit reports, workload identity federation, CMEK)
499- Fixed fast arrow-key + Enter sequences acting on the row above the one you navigated to in history search, `/config`, `/mcp`, `/skills`, background tasks, and `/model`
500- Fixed sub-agents dying on a first-call model 404: they now use the session's fallback model chain, and the error returned to the parent includes the error type, status, request id, and model
501- Fixed a hook or background agent that printed megabytes of error output being able to overflow the conversation and wedge the session on "Prompt is too long"
502- Fixed Ctrl keyboard shortcuts not firing under non-Latin (e.g. Cyrillic) keyboard layouts in kitty-protocol terminals
503- Fixed text like `<35;150;7M` being inserted into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across reads right after the escape prefix
504- Fixed the Bash sandbox's after-command cleanup deleting a dotfile-managed `~/.claude/settings.json` symlink (nix/home-manager, stow) when it is repointed outside the sandbox's writable area
505- Fixed `/terminal-setup` overwriting your entire Zed `keymap.json` instead of merging in its keybinding
506- Fixed `/rename` silently confirming when the session registry could not be updated; it now says other sessions may still show the old name
507- Fixed `/compact` and "Summarize from here" in sessions started with `--agent` summarizing under the default system prompt instead of the conversation's own
508- Fixed a background session showing "opening…" forever in `claude agents` after its terminal host process died; the row now fails within seconds with the reason, and Enter restarts it
509- Fixed unbounded memory growth when a hook's or background task's output file could not be written; the file now notes where output was lost
510- Fixed `/install-github-app` over SSH: the copy shortcut now says how the sign-in URL was copied instead of always claiming success, and the URL appears immediately when no browser can open
511- Fixed shell commands carried over from the foreground logging an internal error or showing a misleading `[exited with code -1]` line when they finish in background sessions
512- Fixed a version-less marketplace plugin's live cache directory being deleted and recreated on a second-scope install, which could disrupt a running session using it
513- Fixed Remote Control sessions started with `/remote-control` not reporting the working-tree diff to connected clients
514- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions reporting `running` before Claude Code had started, which could trigger a premature "Claude is waiting for your input" notification from the Claude desktop app
515- Fixed first-run setup exiting with "Unable to connect to Anthropic services" when managed settings configure Claude apps gateway sign-in and Anthropic endpoints are unreachable
516- Fixed cloud sessions (Claude Code on the web, desktop and mobile apps) sometimes showing the previous permission mode when you switch modes right after sending a message
517- Fixed cloud sessions going silent when the session's container restarts between turns while a background agent, shell, or monitor is still running — the resumed session now reports the lost work
518- Improved plugin marketplace hardening: names containing control or invisible characters are rejected, and marketplace-supplied text in `/plugin` and `claude plugin` output is escape-safe
519- Improved Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry sessions (and any with telemetry disabled): Claude is now told when a configured MCP server failed to connect, instead of concluding its tools don't exist
520- Changed Sonnet 5's default auto-compact window to its full 1M context, so sessions on the 1M window now auto-compact at about 967K tokens instead of about 934K
521- Changed cross-session peer messages to collapse by default to a one-line `Message from @<sender>: <first line>` preview; Ctrl+O expands the full body
522- Changed terminal hyperlinks in rendered markdown: link targets that point at a network or automounter path, contain a control character, or lead with an invisible character now render as plain text
523- Changed the prompt-footer PR badge to skip its GitHub re-check on terminal refocus when the last check is under a minute old
524- Changed analytics to stay off from startup, not only after login, when managed settings force gateway login or a custom OAuth deployment is configured
525- Changed Claude apps gateway sign-in requests to identify Claude Code (a `surface=claude_code` device-authorization parameter and a `claude-code/<version>` User-Agent)
526- Changed organization sign-in enforcement to exit at start when the administrator's managed settings cannot be read, even if host-supplied or per-user Windows registry settings exist
527
528## 2.1.246
529
530- Added a startup warning for Bash allow rules with a wildcard before the subcommand (e.g. `Bash(git * main)`), since they also match options inserted before the subcommand
531- Added an Auto mode tab to `/permissions` for viewing and editing auto mode classifier rules
532- Added the turn's completion time to the end-of-turn duration line, e.g. `✻ Sautéed for 23s · done 6:05 PM`
533- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank transcript after resizing the terminal and jumping to the bottom until the next keypress
534- Fixed a severe transcript slowdown when a diff contained a very long single line (e.g. a base64 string); such lines now render truncated with a marker
535- Fixed erratic fullscreen scrolling when positioned at an earlier message, including jump-to-bottom getting stuck mid-transcript
536- Fixed background sessions failing to open after 45 seconds when Claude Code's starting directory had been deleted, the machine had slept, or the host is slow to start processes
537- Fixed background sessions failing to open with "Couldn't start the background service … EACCES" when another Claude Code process was re-installing the npm package at that moment
538- Fixed markdown rendering being disabled for a whole message when its first 500 characters contained no markdown, and for `+`/`N)` lists and setext headings
539- Fixed MCP tool calls interrupted by an incoming message in headless/remote sessions being reported to the model as "completed with no output" instead of an explicit interrupted error
540- Fixed MCP tool arguments being sent as JSON strings when the parameter's schema is empty (`{}`), instead of their real type
541- Fixed a command interrupted mid-run showing as "Ran 1 shell command" with no sign it was cut
542- Fixed pressing ← or running `/background` during a dynamic workflow restarting its finished subagents; it now asks first and says how many subagents would restart
543- Fixed opening a just-started session in `claude agents` while its worker was still booting (common on Windows) stopping it with "was stopped while the respawn was in flight"
544- Fixed `claude agents` listing a backgrounded named session twice; backgrounding the same conversation again now numbers the new row (e.g. `my-session (2)`)
545- Fixed the background retention sweep removing git worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` that you created yourself when an old background-session record pointed at them
546- Fixed auto mode tool calls being denied as "temporarily unavailable" on very large sessions by scaling the safety-check deadline with prompt size
547- Fixed the plugin cache creating duplicate SHA-named directories for the same plugin
548- Fixed plugin skills whose frontmatter `name` already includes the `<plugin>:` prefix showing it doubled in the slash menu (e.g. `/plugin:plugin:skill`)
549- Fixed `claude plugin update` failing for an installed plugin given its bare name (only the fully-qualified name worked)
550- Fixed plugin installation failing when `plugin.json` was saved with a UTF-8 byte-order mark (BOM)
551- Fixed `/reload-plugins` reporting 0 skills for plugins that define skills under `skills/*/SKILL.md`
552- Fixed hook error messages showing a literal `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` instead of the resolved plugin path
553- Fixed `/rename` replacing the theme's prompt border color (including a custom theme's `promptBorder`) with the default cyan; the border now keeps your theme's color unless you pick one with `/color`
554- Fixed custom theme diff colors (`diffAdded`/`diffRemoved` and their dimmed variants) being ignored in diffs and the `/theme` preview
555- Fixed a `keybindings.json` binding with an unknown action name silently deadening that key; it is now skipped so the default binding keeps working, and a warning is logged under `--debug`
556- Fixed `/stats` activity heatmap showing each day's activity one cell off (Sunday's count under Monday) in timezones east of UTC
557- Fixed `/fork` from an already-forked or backgrounded session starting the new session with an empty conversation
558- Fixed prompts beginning with `/--` (e.g. Lean doc comments) being rejected as an unknown slash command instead of being sent to Claude
559- Fixed the `@` file picker staying open after the typed text stopped matching a real path
560- Fixed the status line's cost and duration resetting to zero after navigating to the agents view and back
561- Fixed fullscreen mode moving keyboard focus onto the control under the pointer when you clicked the terminal window only to bring it back into focus
562- Fixed path completion failing when the completion token or working directory contained a null byte
563- Windows/macOS: Fixed headless sessions not cleaning up stale entries in `~/.claude/sessions` left by sessions that exited uncleanly
564- Fixed the UI stopping with a render error on the first tool call when a third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoint (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) streams a `tool_use` block without an `id`
565- Fixed the Write tool reporting "Out of memory" or freezing for a long time after overwriting a very large existing file, even though the file had been written
566- Fixed `claude plugin install <name>` exiting silently (or hanging in a terminal) instead of reporting an error when `~/.claude/plugins/known_marketplaces.json` is empty or corrupted
567- Fixed resumed sessions failing every turn with a 400 when the saved history contains tool blocks the Anthropic API does not accept (typically written by a third-party API proxy)
568- Fixed `curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash` failing with "Raw mode is not supported" for some Team/Enterprise users with server-managed settings
569- Fixed sessions that ended in plan mode resuming outside plan mode in the VS Code extension, and in `claude -p --continue`/`--resume` with a permission prompt tool, when no permission mode was set
570- Fixed the `Notification` hook not firing while the sandbox "Network request outside of sandbox" permission prompt is waiting
571- Fixed Bash permission checks to always require approval for malformed commands with a dangling `&&` or `||` operator
572- Fixed `--strict-mcp-config` sessions prompting to approve `.mcp.json` servers they would never load, which left background sessions waiting at startup
573- Fixed telemetry and metrics requests to Anthropic carrying the API key configured for a third-party gateway (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`); a credential is now only sent to its own host
574- Fixed a visible API error on the first prompt after idle when `apiKeyHelper` returns short-lived JWTs: an expired cached token is now refreshed before sending, and 401/403 auth errors retry quietly
575- Fixed memory growing with session length in the fullscreen and Ctrl+O transcript views: each rendered message row no longer retains a full copy of the transcript-wide tool lookups
576- Fixed `/ultrareview` runs and cloud sessions launched at the same time from one repository (e.g. from several worktrees) sometimes starting with another launch's uncommitted changes
577- Fixed the task progress count (e.g. `3/5`) shown for background cloud sessions such as `/autofix-pr` occasionally missing a task
578- Fixed Remote Control sessions keeping their placeholder name in claude.ai and the Claude app until the second prompt; the auto-generated title now appears after the first prompt
579- Fixed MCP tools marked `requiresUserInteraction` still offering "Yes, and don't ask again" in their permission prompt; the option wrote an allow rule the tool then ignored
580- Fixed the self-hosted runner ending its live sessions or exiting when a work-poll response is malformed (e.g. an intercepting proxy's HTML page); it now retries the poll
581- Improved `/cd`: the new directory's project settings, hooks, `.mcp.json` servers (behind the usual approval prompt), skills, and agents now take effect right after the move instead of on `--resume`
582- Improved Bash tool latency on bash shells by replaying snapshot functions without a base64 subshell per function
583- Improved subagent results: a subagent that stops at its `maxTurns` limit now returns its output marked as partial, with a hint to continue it via `SendMessage`, instead of appearing finished
584- Improved non-interactive sessions (`-p`, SDK, cloud sessions) to automatically continue a response cut off mid-stream by a server error, connection loss, or stall instead of ending with an error
585- Improved attribution of usage telemetry to your organization for workload identity federation sessions, events sent while `apiKeyHelper` runs at startup, and after a login token expired while idle
586- Changed `/code-review` so Claude can also start it on its own on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry, through the Claude apps gateway, and when telemetry or non-essential traffic is disabled
587- `/goal`: Changed idle sessions to start at most three check-ins on long-running background work per goal; your next message allows three more
588- Changed `claude install` and `claude update` to defer a pending managed-settings consent prompt to the next interactive session instead of prompting mid-command
589- Changed OpenTelemetry plugin events for plugins synced from claude.ai: `plugin_id_hash` now reflects the plugin's real marketplace, and `enabled_via` is `admin-install` for admin-installed plugins
590- Fixed the command sandbox's filesystem configuration not respecting `--setting-sources`
591
592## 2.1.245
593
594- Fixed a crash on startup on Linux distributions that ship glibc 2.44 (for example Arch Linux, CachyOS and Fedora Rawhide)
595
596## 2.1.243
597
598- Added a Loops breakdown to `/usage`: per-loop run count, total tokens, tokens per run, and last run, so runaway or chatty `/loop` tasks are easy to spot
599- Added `modelPicker` setting: curate the `/model` picker with an ordered, labeled list of models (any id spelling, including Vertex/Bedrock ids), appended to or replacing the built-in lineup
600- Added `promptCacheTtl` and `subagentPromptCacheTtl` settings so API-key and cloud-provider users can keep a 1-hour prompt cache on the main conversation while subagents stay at 5 minutes
601- Added `modelPricing` managed setting so an organization's contracted per-model rates and discount multiplier are used for `/cost`, the status line, and telemetry cost figures instead of list price
602- Added a keyless sign-in under `/login` → Anthropic Console: "Sign in with your Console account" (recommended) alongside creating an API key, so organizations that don't allow API keys can sign in
603- Added a `Skipped sources` line to `/status` that lists managed settings sources (for example `managed-settings.json`) present but not applied because a higher-precedence managed source is active
604- Added a `managed` marker in `/mcp` and `/plugins` on claude.ai connectors whose authentication is managed by your organization
605- Added a tip pointing claude.ai users who haven't connected GitHub for Claude Code on the web to `/web-setup`
606- Added a `/status` line showing whether GitHub is connected for Claude Code on the web (Pro/Max), pointing to `/web-setup` when it isn't
607- Added the model (and effort level) each subagent ran on to `/tasks` and the agent detail dialogs
608- Fixed remote MCP servers in non-interactive (`-p`) and SDK sessions never recovering after a dropped connection; they now reconnect automatically or report as failed
609- Fixed MCP server sign-in started from the desktop app failing with "Invalid redirect URI" on servers that support client ID metadata documents (for example Linear)
610- Fixed auto mode staying unavailable at startup when a temporary server-side disable was cached and later flag fetches failed
611- Fixed auto mode tool calls being denied as "temporarily unavailable" after about a minute of waiting when the API was briefly overloaded and asked the client to retry
612- Fixed the `/model` picker silently ignoring an Ultracode selection; picking Ultracode now applies it to the current session
613- Fixed `/resume` only listing the 50 most recent sessions; the picker now loads more as you scroll
614- Fixed cloud sessions resuming after a mid-turn restart with a pending hook or background-task notification re-sent as the prompt instead of the normal continuation message
615- Fixed cross-session messaging silently turning off inside user namespaces and rootless containers after the 2.1.232 socket-directory hardening
616- Fixed text that hangs outside its container (for example the sign-in URL in `/login`) losing its leading columns when another part of the screen repaints
617- Fixed `spellcheck` not underlining a misspelled word typed directly after an emoji
618- Fixed background subagents not waking when their last background Bash task completes
619- Fixed sessions going silent for 10+ minutes when the Anthropic API never starts a response: the request now times out after ~3 minutes, retries once, then shows `API Error: No response from API`
620- Fixed auth, model-availability, and other client-generated error messages rendering like model output instead of as error lines
621- Fixed workload identity federation in CI: processes in one job share the exchanged token instead of re-exchanging the single-use token; a rejected exchange fails fast with the server's message
622- Fixed server-managed `companyAnnouncements` not showing at startup in a session that began with signing in (for example the first launch after `/logout`)
623- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `Bash(cat *)` firing on unrelated Bash commands when the command contained `$()` or backtick command substitution followed by more arguments
624- Fixed plugin dependencies declared with a `marketplace` field never resolving when both plugins are loaded together via `--plugin-dir`
625- Fixed `/reload-plugins` keeping the LSP tool after the last LSP plugin is disabled; it now also warns before an LSP plugin change that would re-read the conversation
626- Fixed `--agents` silently ignoring invalid JSON or invalid agent definitions; it now exits with a clear error, like `--mcp-config`
627- Fixed `/status` showing "Found invalid entries in: ." with no filename when `~/.claude.json` has an invalid MCP server entry
628- Fixed `/clear` removing the `/rename` session name from the prompt bar even though the name was kept for the new session
629- Fixed Ctrl+R history search and up-arrow history breaking when `~/.claude/history.jsonl` contains a malformed entry
630- Fixed Ctrl+[ not leaving vim INSERT mode in terminals that encode modified keys (modifyOtherKeys / kitty protocol)
631- Fixed the local IDE connection being routed through `HTTPS_PROXY` (and sometimes failing) when `localhost` was listed in `NO_PROXY` but not lowercase `no_proxy`; both casings are now honored
632- Fixed sandbox network-violation details being dropped from the Bash tool result when the blocked command still exited 0 (for example `curl` printing the proxy's 403 page)
633- Fixed the status line `rate_limits` fields and `/usage` still showing a rate-limit window's pre-reset usage percentage after the window reset while the session was idle
634- Fixed `claude --teleport <session>` exiting on uncommitted changes instead of offering to stash them and continue, as the session picker already does
635- Fixed `/web-setup` repeatedly asking you to log in when an older GitHub CLI (without `gh auth token`) was already authenticated
636- Fixed Claude in Chrome losing its connection to Claude Code after an auto-update cleaned up the version it was set up with; the native host now launches via the stable `claude` launcher
637- [VSCode] Fixed sessions started before feature flags were first fetched (for example right after install) opening in the default permission mode instead of auto mode or your configured default mode
638- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view sections you expanded collapsing on their own during subagent tool activity
639- Improved startup time: sandbox and MCP bring-up no longer block the first frame, bare launches skip subcommand registration, and workflow discovery, settings, and trust-store work is cheaper
640- Improved native install and auto-update download size: the binary is now zstd-compressed (about 75 MB instead of 340 MB on Linux x64)
641- Improved attribution of usage telemetry to your organization for sessions that authenticate with `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` directly against the Anthropic API, so its data-handling settings apply
642- Improved native binary size: about 2 MB smaller by storing the bundled skill and prompt text more compactly
643- Improved memory usage of native builds: code is now loaded on demand instead of keeping the whole bundle resident (roughly 40–70 MB less memory per session)
644- Improved peak memory usage in long-running sessions (the runtime now garbage-collects sooner as the heap grows)
645- Improved `/login` over SSH: the sign-in URL appears immediately, pressing `c` reports how the URL was copied instead of always claiming success, and a hint explains how to select text in fullscreen
646- Improved the error when effort `xhigh`/`max` is used with thinking turned off: it now names the level, the setting that disabled thinking, and `/effort high` as the fix
647- Improved `/loop`: consecutive wake-ups where Claude has nothing to do now fold into a single line in the terminal instead of printing each one
648- Changed the sandboxed Bash tool prompt to no longer list allowed network hosts, so Claude attempts requests (and you can approve new hosts) instead of assuming unlisted hosts are blocked
649- Updated the `/model` picker and the bundled `claude-api` skill to show Sonnet 5's $2/$10 per Mtok pricing as its standard list price rather than a limited-time promo
650- Changed computer use on macOS so clicking the desktop, Dock, or a Finder window requires granting Finder via the access dialog, like any other app
651- Changed `/model`, `/fast`, and `/effort` to also run immediately instead of queueing until the turn ends on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry and when telemetry is disabled
652- Fixed `claude remote-control` exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
653- Fixed Remote Control sessions served by `claude remote-control` sometimes getting stuck after it was stopped and restarted, for Team and Enterprise members without an admin or owner role
654- Changed the cross-session messaging inbox socket to close connections that send no complete line within 30 seconds; scripts posting to it should connect once their data is ready
655- Improved the notice when resuming a conversation whose Remote Control is held by another terminal: it now says sessions on other machines can't be seen from, or reach, this one
656- [VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
657- [VSCode] Improved attribution of the extension's own usage telemetry to your organization when you are signed in with a Claude account, so its data-handling settings apply

665- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
666
667## 2.1.239
668
669- Cost estimates (`/cost`, status line, `--max-budget-usd`) now include the 1.1× US-only-inference premium for data-residency workspaces
670- Added the one-time fullscreen renderer offer on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other previously excluded setups; new installs there now start in fullscreen
671- Added `/claude-api upgrade` to migrate Python projects from `anthropic` 0.x to 1.x, and updated the skill's Python reference for 1.x (timeouts use `anthropic.Timeout`, not `httpx.Timeout`)
672- Cloud sessions: plugins synced from claude.ai now show as `name@synced`, work with `claude plugin enable/disable <name>@synced`, and never override a same-named plugin you installed
673- Alpine/musl builds: native image paste, clipboard, and audio-capture add-ons now load (musl-built binaries instead of glibc ones refused by the runtime)
674- The usage-limit message shown when your monthly spend limit is already used up now also says when your session or weekly limit resets
675- Fixed Bedrock streaming behind proxies that strip the response Content-Type header, which silently doubled billed API calls by re-running every turn non-streaming
676- Fixed Claude Code hanging at startup behind an HTTPS proxy when using Bedrock with an SSO profile and `awsAuthRefresh` — the credential pre-check now honors `HTTPS_PROXY`
677- Fixed a raw crash dump when starting Claude Code from a directory that no longer exists; it now prints a clear message
678- Fixed Edit and Write calls pausing for about 5 seconds in JetBrains IDE terminals when the Claude Code plugin is connected
679- Fixed a race where pressing Esc with a prompt queued could let the next turn finish early, leaving the session idle while Claude was still working and letting a later resubmit repeat actions
680- Fixed WebFetch retaining expired page content in memory for the whole session instead of the intended 15 minutes
681- Fixed cloud sessions (Claude Code on the web, desktop and mobile apps) resuming out of plan mode after an idle worker restart
682- Fixed MCP elicitation forms taller than the terminal being clipped in fullscreen mode: the form now fits the window, with hidden fields reachable by scrolling and Accept/Decline always visible
683- Fixed remote MCP servers staying failed after a transient 5xx on a mid-session reconnect in cloud sessions or via SDK `setMcpServers()`
684- Fixed custom session titles disappearing from `/resume` after more than ~64 KB of conversation was written following the rename
685- Fixed `claude -c`/resume picking up sessions from a different directory whose path differed only by characters like `_`, `-`, or `.`
686- Fixed `/resume` and the agents view showing a session as recently changed (and reordering it) when only its file was touched or it was merely reopened
687- Fixed `/resume` in all-projects mode telling you to `cd` into a deleted directory (e.g. a removed worktree); such sessions now resume in the current directory
688- Fixed the `dark-ansi` theme rendering expanded tool results in fullscreen mode with text the same color as the background
689- Fixed the fullscreen renderer prompt reappearing on every launch when it could never be answered; it now stops after being shown on three launches
690- Fixed `.worktreeinclude` patterns starting with `**/` silently matching nothing when the target lived in a gitignored directory
691- Fixed agents, skills, and commands whose `.md` file starts with a UTF-8 BOM being silently ignored
692- Fixed `/insights` echoing literal `<message>` tags in its response on some models
693- Fixed marketplace `metadata.pluginRoot` having no effect: bare plugin source names now resolve under it as the docs describe
694- Fixed mouse movement in browser-based terminals inserting text like `"35;150;7M"` into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across writes
695- Fixed custom theme overrides for the effort/ultracode status badge colors being ignored
696- Fixed OpenTelemetry trace fragmentation: tool executions deferred by a `PreToolUse` hook now resume in the original turn's trace instead of starting a new trace
697- Fixed vim mode in the agent view: Escape now switches to NORMAL mode and keeps your text instead of clearing the prompt
698- Fixed the `selection:copy` keybinding silently dropping a text selection that had been extended with Shift+Arrow keys
699- Fixed the `/voice` startup tip still appearing after voice dictation was enabled via the `voice.enabled` setting
700- Fixed shell-mode (`!`) Tab completion dropping the `./` from a `./script` path, which left a command the shell couldn't run
701- Fixed fullscreen mode answering a permission prompt or pressing a button when you clicked the terminal window only to bring it back into focus
702- Fixed slash-command panels (e.g. `/config`, `/model`) in fullscreen mode covering the latest messages; the conversation now stays pinned above the panel
703- Fixed the `/workflows` detail dialog overflowing the terminal and losing its header off-screen when opened while Claude is still responding
704- Fixed the Linux sandbox making a nonexistent `.git/config.worktree` unreadable, which broke every sandboxed git command in repos with `extensions.worktreeConfig` set
705- Fixed hooks failing with "posix_spawn ENOENT" after the session's working directory was deleted; they now run from the project root or home directory instead
706- Fixed `claudeMdExcludes` not excluding a symlinked `.claude/rules` file when the pattern names the rules directory or the symlink rather than its target
707- Fixed runaway session-title syncing to Remote Control when two Claude Code processes shared one background job's state (2.1.232 regression); title updates are now deduplicated and rate-limited
708- Fixed sessions whose title starts with `/` being unaddressable by `SendMessage` and shown as "(untitled)" in `ListAgents`
709- Fixed Ctrl+W, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+K, Option+Backspace, Option+D and vim `df`/`dt` leaving a broken `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder when the cursor was inside it
710- Fixed masked (password-style) inputs such as the login code field letting their text be pasted back with Ctrl+Y elsewhere or saved to prompt history when cleared with double Esc
711- Fixed Ctrl+Backspace deleting one character instead of a word in search boxes
712- Fixed a request rejected by an organization policy check being re-sent before the rejection was shown
713- Improved the reminder shown after compaction so a skill's original arguments are not re-run as a new request
714- Long file paths on tool-use rows now truncate in the middle to stay on one line
715- Remote sessions keep sending keep-alives while a long `SessionStart` or `Setup` hook runs, so the container is not idle-reaped mid-hook
716- `/goal`: repeat check-ins on long-running background work now back off (30 min, then 1 h, then every 2 h) instead of repeating every 30 minutes
717- `/goal`: resuming a session from the `claude --resume` picker now restores its active goal
718- `ListAgents` now tells a session its own name (the one peers use to message it), and `SendMessage` to your own name says so instead of "no agent named …"
719- `ListAgents` and `/list-agents` now list your live teammates (previously only subagents and other sessions appeared, so a reachable teammate looked absent)
720- `keybindingFlavor: "readline"` now also matches Bash for word keys: Alt+F and Ctrl/Option+→ stop at the end of the word, Alt+D deletes to it (Ctrl+Y pastes it back), and punctuation separates words
721- Persistent retry mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG`) now fails immediately on organization spend-limit and out-of-credits errors instead of waiting indefinitely for a reset
722- Claude in Chrome: `/clear` now closes the session's Chrome tab group, and empty groups are closed on `/resume` and when Claude Code exits
723- Remote sessions: images uploaded from mobile now include their saved file path, so Claude can copy them into files it creates
724- Claude Code on the web: requests from Bash and other tools to non-API anthropic.com hosts (e.g. www, docs) now go through the session's network proxy, so your environment's allowed domains apply
725- Remote Control: clearer message and `claude doctor` wording when Remote Control isn't enabled for your account
726- Windows: cross-session messaging is now available, so Claude Code sessions across your machines can message each other with `SendMessage` and find each other with `ListAgents`, as on macOS and Linux
727- [VSCode] "View usage" in the usage-limit banner now sits inline with the warning text instead of floating mid-banner
728
729## 2.1.238
730
731- Added a `keybindingFlavor` setting: set it to `"readline"` to make Ctrl+W in the prompt delete back to the previous whitespace, as in Bash; the default (`"classic"`) is unchanged
732- Plugin marketplaces: `headersHelper` on a url marketplace or a catalog entry runs a command that mints HTTP headers (e.g. a short-lived token) for catalog and same-origin archive fetches
733- A catalog entry's `headersHelper` runs only when you install or update that plugin, after its command is shown; `claude plugin install/update` ask `[y/N]` (or pass `-y`)
734- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --defer-shutdown-max-min <minutes>`: on SIGTERM, keep serving attached sessions, park what is left after that many minutes, then exit
735- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --proxy-authorization-command` / `--proxy-authorization-file` for egress proxies that require a freshly issued `Proxy-Authorization` header on every connection
736- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long interactive sessions: subagent tool results are now released once they leave the recent display window
737- Fixed custom, project, and plugin output styles drifting back to the default voice mid-session
738- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION=true` not keeping prompt suggestions on when your account is near, but not over, its usage limit
739- Fixed worktree-isolation Bash refusals telling you to remove a redirect when the command had none
740- Fixed self-hosted runners occasionally being removed by the server after a single slow or lost poll request, handing their healthy session to another runner
741- Fixed MCP elicitation dialogs showing nothing for URLs longer than 4,096 characters, and permission prompts dropping the "don't ask again" option when the project path didn't fit the terminal width
742- Fixed leftover `/tmp/claude-*-cwd` files when a Bash command is killed, times out, or is interrupted
743- Fixed held Backspace being ignored on terminals that send Ctrl+H for Backspace when keystrokes arrive in large bursts (slow SSH/mosh links)
744- Fixed text-wrapping in permission prompt diffs: lines containing wide multi-code-point characters (such as emoji) or tabs are no longer clipped
745- Fixed killing a suspended (Ctrl+Z) session sometimes leaving the terminal in bracketed-paste mode with the cursor hidden
746- Fixed stdio MCP servers receiving a `server/discover` request before `initialize`, forcing lazy servers to start their backend on every session open
747- Fixed a proxy's refusal of a connection being reported as a generic network error instead of naming the proxy
748- Fixed the `/model` and `/effort` cache-miss warning appearing when the prompt cache had already expired
749- Fixed per-task Stop from the Remote Control tasks panel doing nothing on CLI-hosted sessions
750- Fixed remote sessions exiting when a client delivered a user message without a valid role
751- Fixed Remote Control sessions started by `claude remote-control` inheriting session-scoped environment variables from the launching shell
752- Fixed a Remote Control session whose process crashed staying unavailable until `claude remote-control` was restarted; it can now be reused when you next message it
753- Fixed Remote Control messages sent from the web or Desktop while Claude is mid-turn disappearing from the transcript after the turn finishes
754- Fixed Remote Control model picks made on a phone or web not updating the model shown in the terminal
755- Fixed Remote Control disconnecting with "login expired" when a brief network hiccup delays renewing your sign-in; it now retries and stays connected
756- Fixed Remote Control reporting a failed reconnect on sign-out; signing out now ends the session with a clear message
757- Fixed `ListAgents`/`SendMessage` reporting "Remote Control is not connected" in sessions run by `claude remote-control` (server mode) or Desktop/IDE hosts; they now list and reach Remote Control peers
758- Fixed `ListAgents` and `SendMessage` exposing the idle worker that the agent view pre-warms for your next background session; it now appears only once a task claims it
759- Cross-session messaging: sending to a session on this machine that refuses inbound messages (e.g. `crossSessionInbound: "refuse"`) now reports "refused" to the sender instead of a silent success
760- Cross-session messaging: a session whose inbox drops your messages (rate limit or full queue) now tells your session, instead of the messages vanishing silently
761- Improved startup: bare `claude` starts sooner on macOS
762- Improved Bash tool permission checking for zsh-specific syntax in shell conditionals
763- Improved Remote Control connection resilience: brief HTTP 403 refusals from a network edge, VPN, or proxy are now tolerated for up to 3 minutes, with the refusing party named when a block persists
764- Improved startup responsiveness: the automatic update check now runs about 10 seconds after launch instead of competing with startup for CPU
765- Updated the bundled `claude-api` skill for the Managed Agents Aug 19 release: web search/fetch domain settings and memory stores on self-hosted sandboxes
766- Changed Ctrl+L and Cmd+K in fullscreen to always just repaint — the double-press `/clear` shortcut was removed, and 1-row nvim terminals no longer trigger automatic `/clear` loops
767- Changed `claude mcp list` and `claude mcp get` to show disabled servers as `⊘ Disabled` instead of connecting to them for a health check
768- MCP `headersHelper` in a project `.mcp.json`, and inline MCP servers in project or `--add-dir` agent files, now require that folder's trust dialog to have been accepted (also under `claude -p`)
769- MCP `headersHelper` from a project `.mcp.json`, plugin, or agent file runs without inherited credential env vars; user, managed and claude.ai-scope helpers now run from the Claude config dir
770
771## 2.1.237
772
773- Fixed prompt caching for sessions using an LLM gateway or custom base URL
774- 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.
775
776## 2.1.236
777
778- 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`)
779- 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)
780- 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
781- 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)
782- 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
783- 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
784- Fixed `SendMessage` calls being rejected when a malformed closing tag left the message text inside the summary field
785- 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)
786- Fixed fullscreen mode sometimes not showing a newly sent message until the next update after the terminal was resized
787- 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
788- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt sometimes not appearing at startup while still capturing the first keypress as approval
789- 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
790- Fixed an unclear error when the cloud environments list came back empty or malformed
791- Fixed the Fable 5 first-time usage-credits prompt auto-selecting the fallback model after 60 seconds with no answer when using Remote Control
792- Fixed spinner tips never appearing, with a repeated background error, when the cached guest-pass reward in `~/.claude.json` was malformed
793- 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+)
794- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions released on idle, retire, or startup timeout occasionally resuming on another runner before the post-session hook had finished
795- Fixed the Clawd mascot's eyes and feet rendering unevenly in iTerm2 at some font sizes
796- Fixed occasional runaway session recaps: recap text (automatic and `/recap`) is now capped at 400 characters, cut at a word boundary
797- Improved startup performance: the session counter is now written in the background
798- 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
799- 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
800- 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
801- 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
802- `/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
803- `/usage` now shows the usage-credits spend row for Team and Enterprise members, and shows a capped row at 0% before anything is spent
804- 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
805- 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
806- Remote Control now marks a session offline within seconds when the CLI exits or its terminal closes
807- `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
808- Aligned the session title chip on the prompt border with the footer's right edge
809- 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
810- [VSCode] Added screen reader support for the transcript: live announcements for replies, permission requests, errors, and status changes, plus per-turn heading navigation
811
812## 2.1.235
813
814- Added an optional `spellcheck` setting that underlines misspelled words in the prompt input as you type, using your installed `aspell`, `hunspell`, or `ispell`
815- Fixed whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server disconnected or reconnected mid-session
816- Fixed nested markdown list items misaligning at depth 3+ and added a hanging indent to wrapped list items in the terminal UI
817- Fixed prompt input highlights (slash commands, keywords, mentions) appearing shifted by one or more characters in some multi-line prompts
818- Fixed Shift+Tab inside the permission prompt's comment field approving the edit and granting session-wide edit permission instead of closing the field
819- 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
820- 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
821- Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing HTML entities instead of the actual characters
822- Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
823- Fixed the expanded task list (`ctrl+t`) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching into a session that still has open tasks
824- 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
825- 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
826- 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
827- Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to `/config` to re-enable it
828- Vim mode: NORMAL mode and cursor position are now preserved when toggling the detailed transcript (ctrl+o) or closing a panel
829- Dialogs: arrow keys and Enter pressed in quick succession now select the option you navigated to instead of the previously highlighted one
830- `SendMessage` now refuses messages too large for cross-session delivery up front instead of silently dropping them
831- Remote Control: `claude rc` now applies the same enterprise-gateway availability check as interactive startup
832- [VSCode] Fixed focus jumping between open Claude tabs on its own when a window with several Claude panels is restored or reloaded
833
834## 2.1.234
835
836- 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
837- 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
838- 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
839- Claude Code now continues your session automatically when a claude.ai usage limit resets; turn it off in `/config` ("Continue automatically at usage limit")
840- Claude is now told to use your account email only to identify you, and not to send it to unrelated services unless you ask
841- 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
842- Fixed auto mode in very long sessions repeatedly re-checking and denying sandboxed commands' network access after the conversation had been compacted
843- Fixed session-scoped permission answers (including denies) being dropped when answering background subagent tool permission prompts
844- 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
845- Fixed markdown rendering becoming extremely slow for some messages containing unusual Unicode sequences
846- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a recipient copied from `ListAgents` when the session name is at the 200-character cap or emoji-heavy
847- Fixed repository detection mis-reading the host of git remotes with unusual userinfo, producing links and repo-specific behavior for the wrong host
848- Fixed MCP diagnostics printing resolved secrets: scope-conflict warnings now show the configured `${VAR}` form, and connection-failure details show only the server origin
849- Fixed `strictKnownMarketplaces` allowlists accepting SCP-style git marketplace sources whose host differs from the one git would actually connect to
850- Fixed modal text such as the `/login` OAuth URL losing characters when copied in fullscreen
851- Fixed a `---` horizontal rule in rendered markdown running into the line after it
852- Fixed consecutive shell commands splitting into multiple "Ran 1 shell command" rows when todo/task updates were interleaved between them
853- Fixed dialogs like `/permissions` opened while a `!` shell command was running being dismissed when the command finished
854- Fixed a queued `!` shell command being sent to the model as plain text after pressing up-arrow to edit the queued input
855- 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
856- 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
857- 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
858- Fixed trust prompts omitting the repository-wide scope warning when the directory was first seen before the repository existed there
859- Fixed a case where an IDE diff tab closing during a permission re-prompt could answer the new prompt with the previous input
860- 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
861- 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
862- 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
863- 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
864- Fixed: provider API tokens that mask on permission previews now mask even when directly followed by shell delimiters
865- 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
866- 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
867- 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
868- 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
869- `SendMessage` and `ListAgents` now say when your account's session list was too long to check completely, instead of treating unseen sessions as absent
870- Expired Anthropic profile credential now points you at `/login` when a claude.ai login would take precedence
871- Improved the transcript: your own prompts now render markdown (highlighted code blocks, inline code, lists) the same way replies do
872- 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
873- 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")
874- Reduced the context cost of loading the built-in `claude-api` skill from ~200k+ tokens to ~25k by loading reference docs on demand
875- `/permissions` can now be opened while Claude is working — rule changes apply to the rest of the current turn
876- `/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
877- `/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
878- `/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)
879- `claude setup-token` now rejects unexpected extra arguments instead of silently ignoring them
880- Changed Esc in fullscreen mode to no longer clear a mouse text selection: it interrupts or dismisses as usual and the selection stays highlighted
881- Removed the redundant "Allowed by auto mode classifier" line that auto mode showed under every Agent tool call
882- Removed the "Default teammate model" setting from `/config`; agent-team teammates now use the leader's model unless the spawn names one
883- Dimmed the elapsed-time counter on the running tool header so it no longer competes with the bold counts
884- Background task notifications delivered between turns are now sent to the model inside `<system-reminder>` tags, matching mid-turn delivery
885- Mantle: skip the admin-pin availability probe at startup when a main-loop model is already picked
886- Windows: startup no longer stalls on repeated rename retries when `~/.claude.json` is read-only
887
888## 2.1.233
889
890- Added GitLab merge request URL support to the `--worktree` flag and the `claude agents` view (where MRs display as `!N`)
891- 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
892- 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
893- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBFETCH_CACHE_TTL_MS` environment variable to configure the WebFetch session URL cache TTL (default unchanged: 15 minutes)
894- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally being marked as lost when the environment shut down while Claude was waiting on a permission prompt
895- 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)
896- Fixed Notification hooks not firing for permission prompts when running under Claude Desktop or VS Code
897- Fixed idle sessions on Linux sometimes keeping one CPU core at 100% when sandboxing is enabled
898- 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
899- Fixed skill/command argument substitution to prevent argument values from being re-expanded as template markers
900- Fixed Windows paths spelled with the NT `\??\` device prefix bypassing UNC path validation, closing an NTLM credential-leak vector
901- 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
902- 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
903- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check a bare `.claude/skills` directory, reporting SKILL.md files whose frontmatter fails to parse
904- 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
905- 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
906- 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
907- 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
908- Windows: fixed auto mode repeatedly stopping for manual approval on ordinary `cd <dir> && <command> > file` Bash commands (a 2.1.232 regression)
909- 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
910
911## 2.1.232
912
913- 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
914- Type `@` in the prompt to mention another Claude session by name; Claude then uses `SendMessage` to reach that session directly
915- `SendMessage` now delivers to a bare name that exactly matches one live session, instead of asking to confirm with a ref first
916- 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
917- Added `/config` rows for "Dialog expiry" and "Messages from your other sessions" (cross-session inbound accept/hold/refuse)
918- 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`
919- 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
920- Settings: `additionalMarketplaces` and `allowedMarketplaces` are now accepted as friendlier aliases for `extraKnownMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces`
921- 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
922- 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
923- 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
924- Fable 5 is offered as an advisor in `/advisor` again for organizations with Fable access, with usage-credits consent set up through `/model fable`
925- Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass where variable-writing parameters could silently overwrite `$PSDefaultParameterValues` and redirect later commands' file access
926- 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
927- Fixed nested git repositories inheriting trust from a parent directory; each repository now requires its own trust confirmation
928- 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
929- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by a bridge inside a cloud session inheriting that session's transcript or credentials
930- 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
931- Fixed Remote Control sessions appearing unreachable to newly attached clients while idle
932- Fixed Remote Control bridge sessions not restoring conversation history when the session worker restarts
933- 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)
934- 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
935- Fixed voice mode on native builds getting stuck on "listening…" when the voice service rejected the connection; the rejection is now shown immediately
936- Fixed mTLS client certificate rotation requiring a restart; Claude Code now reloads the rotated cert and key automatically on connection errors
937- Fixed malformed AWS or Vertex region values being used to build request URLs; they now fall back to the default region
938- Fixed stream idle timeout errors failing the request instead of recovering on Bedrock, Vertex, and gateway deployments
939- Fixed content-sized overlays containing truncated text rendering one column too wide, and start-truncated text collapsing to an ellipsis
940- Fixed a stray garbled character where a long shell-command or agent-description preview was cut off mid-emoji
941- Fixed a startup race that could silently unregister a plugin marketplace due to concurrent writes to `known_marketplaces.json`
942- Fixed `/update` and `/tui` refusing to restart while work that survives the relaunch was running
943- Fixed usage-limit guidance suggesting unavailable slash commands in SDK and remote sessions
944- Fixed the consent message for interactive `--advisor fable` launches, which told you to run `/model fable` in an interactive session that had just exited
945- Improved fullscreen streaming: long sessions stay responsive because the whole conversation is no longer re-normalized on every update
946- 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`)
947- `/feedback` and `/bug` now open immediately when invoked while Claude is responding, instead of waiting for the turn to finish
948- `/plugin install plugin@marketplace` now refreshes the marketplace first, so newly published plugins install without a manual marketplace update
949- `/code-review` at high, xhigh, and max effort now runs in a background agent like the other levels
950- Pasted and clipboard images are read without blocking the event loop
951- 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
952- 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
953- Updated agent panel: completed subagents hide immediately with a `/tasks` footer hint, and the "↓ N more" overflow indicator moved left for visibility
954- 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
955- Bash input redirections (`< file`) are now permission-checked like their argument spellings on all platforms
956- Shortened the message shown when resuming a completed background agent
957- Cowork sessions no longer inline external @-imports from user-scope memory files
958- 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
959- Hardened the Linux filesystem sandbox against a protected-path bypass
960- Changed `sandbox.ripgrep` to be honored only from user, managed, and `--settings` settings; project settings can no longer override the sandbox's ripgrep binary
961- Removed the startup tip suggesting you create custom subagents, and the matching nudge in the `/powerup` tour
962
963## 2.1.231
964
965- Fixed MCP OAuth sign-in failing with a redirect URI mismatch for servers that use a pre-registered OAuth client, such as Slack
966
967## 2.1.229
968
969- Documented `claude remote-control --continue` for resuming the most recent Remote Control session
970- Added server-supplied Claude Code hook support for self-hosted runner sessions, matching managed-environment behavior
971- Added SSE keepalive pings to gateway streaming responses during long thinking pauses, preventing idle-timeout disconnects on Vertex and Bedrock upstreams
972- 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
973- `ListAgents` now marks disconnected Remote Control sessions as `offline` and labels your cloud sessions as `cloud`
974- Fixed long responses partly disappearing while streaming and being printed twice in the terminal
975- 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
976- 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)
977- Fixed a crash on Windows when a tool call or message referenced a file by an extended-length (`\\?\`) or UNC path
978- Fixed auto mode failing on every tool call for users who disable the attribution header via `CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER` (direct Anthropic API connections)
979- Fixed `/model` rejecting Sonnet/Opus 1M for claude.ai subscribers using a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway
980- Fixed MCP OAuth with strict authorization servers by using `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` in the redirect URI
981- Fixed Remote Control clients showing a stuck working spinner after a slash command typed in the laptop terminal
982- Fixed the Claude Code Review workflow generated by `/install-github-app` completing without posting its review on the pull request
983- Fixed multi-second UI stalls after editing a file with thousands of IDE diagnostics while the IDE extension is connected
984- Fixed one-shot `claude plugin` commands leaving a stray liveness file that could prevent cleanup of outdated plugin versions
985- Fixed dynamic workflows inside CPU-limited containers using the host machine's core count instead of the container's CPU limit
986- 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
987- Fixed SDK and `--input-format stream-json` sessions getting a 400 API error when a whitespace-only message was submitted
988- 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
989- Fixed OpenTelemetry export from Claude Desktop sessions being rejected by the Desktop-managed gateway when that gateway is also the telemetry endpoint
990- 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
991- Fixed self-hosted runner repository preparation hanging on a Git Credential Manager prompt; git now fails fast when credentials are missing
992- 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)
993- Improved "prompt is too long" errors to explain why automatic compaction could not recover instead of only suggesting `/compact`
994- Improved sandbox: IPv6 literals in network domain lists are now bracketed (`[::1]:443`), and ambiguous spellings are enforced fail-closed and flagged by `/doctor`
995- Updated `/login` to repeat the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` override warning after a successful login
996- Changed `/commit-push-pr` so git/gh commands with dangerous flags (`--force`, `--amend`, `--no-verify`, etc.) are no longer auto-approved
997- Changed self-hosted runner Windows startup to require an explicit `--base-dir`; there is no default checkout directory on Windows
998- [VSCode] "Report a problem" and `/bug` now open the built-in feedback dialog instead of a retired survey link
999- [VSCode] Made the `/btw` side-question panel resizable by dragging its boundary, in both side-docked and stacked layouts
1000- [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
1001
1002## 2.1.228
1003
1004- Fixed interactive sessions that could stop redrawing entirely, while the process kept running, after a rare internal layout error
1005- Fixed `git` / Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code is launched from a parent folder of the git installation
1006- Fixed `/tui` reverting the session to an earlier model when `/model` had been changed since the last response
1007- Fixed cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox in the first session after install or upgrade
1008- Fixed Remote Control `/resume` while connected leaking the resumed conversation's title or history into the connected session
1009- 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
1010- Fixed self-hosted runners ending sessions in the gap between a background task finishing and the follow-up turn starting
1011- Fixed session cleanup deleting contents inside a project's memory folder
1012- Fixed background plugin-cache cleanup deleting a plugin's cache when its only version is a symlinked development checkout
1013- 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
1014- Fixed the deferred-tools reminder occasionally being sent to the model twice after a skill invocation
1015- 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
1016- 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
1017- Improved Vertex AI credential handling: expired or missing Google Cloud credentials now fail within seconds instead of retrying for minutes
1018- Improved compaction progress: the retry countdown and stall hint now appear during compaction instead of only a progress bar
1019- Updated terminal title busy-spinner glyphs to reduce tab-bar jitter on some terminals
1020- 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
1021- Removed the outdated note about auto mode sessions costing slightly more from the first-use notice for Pro, Max, and Team plans
1022
1023## 2.1.227
1024
1025- 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
1026- Fixed every Bash command failing under `claude-code-action` with `allowed_non_write_users` on GitHub-hosted runners
1027- Fixed `/tui` bringing back a conversation that had been rewound to before its first message
1028- 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
1029- Improved performance: fewer event-loop stalls on file-not-found suggestions and at-mention size checks
1030
1031## 2.1.226
1032
1033- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1034
1035## 2.1.225
1036
1037- 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)
1038- Added a workspace trust prompt to `claude agents` for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of `claude`
1039- 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
1040- Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
1041- 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
1042- Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
1043- Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
1044- Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
1045- 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
1046- Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
1047- 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
1048- [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
1049- 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
1050- 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
1051
1052## 2.1.224
1053
1054- 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
1055- Added `archive` plugin source: install plugins from a zip over HTTPS without git or npm, with optional SHA-256 pinning
1056- Added a cancel-and-confirm step when removing an unavailable paste changes a command's text
1057- Added `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX` env var for Bedrock to prefer a specific cross-region inference profile over the `AWS_REGION`-derived one
1058- 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
1059- 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
1060- 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)
1061- 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
1062- Fixed `SendMessage` reporting "Message sent" when the write to a teammate's inbox had actually failed; failed deliveries are now reported as errors
1063- Fixed sandbox filesystem deny entries written with a trailing slash (e.g. `denyRead: "~/.aws/"`) being silently bypassable on Linux and macOS
1064- Fixed sandbox violation details never appearing in Bash tool results; Claude now sees which file or network access was denied and why
1065- Fixed MCP tools that connect mid-turn being deferred for tool search without their names announced to the model
1066- Fixed plugin install records being silently corrupted when the same plugin is installed in multiple projects
1067- Fixed recalled or restored paste content occasionally attaching wrong data or silently losing text when the paste had aged out or placeholder numbers collided
1068- Fixed copy-on-select on Wayland sometimes not reaching the clipboard; the two selection writes no longer race
1069- Fixed the feedback survey's transcript share silently failing on long sessions; a failed share now shows an error instead of a success message
1070- Fixed Remote Control auto-start intermittently failing with "Remote credentials fetch failed" on a cold start with a stale login token
1071- Fixed Remote Control and SDK clients showing a blank "(no content)" message after `/clear` and other output-less commands
1072- Fixed a Remote Control session recreated after its server session expired uploading prior local conversation history into the new session
1073- Improved fullscreen mode to keep the full pre-compaction history in scrollback across repeated compactions, instead of only the most recent interval
1074- 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
1075- Improved Remote Control: connection failures now show a persistent failure indicator with details and a reconnect shortcut, instead of only an 8-second toast
1076- Removed the 200-subagent-per-session spawn cap; long-running sessions no longer refuse new agents (concurrency and depth limits still apply)
1077- Changed managed settings: the approval prompt no longer re-appears after re-login or org switching when the organization's settings are unchanged
1078- 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
1079- Changed the Bash tool description to always note that command output is displayed to the model, not reliably to the user
1080- Changed recalled paste placeholder numbers to renumber when accepted into the input
1081- 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`
1082- [VSCode] Fixed the extension showing Remote Control as connected after the connection failed
1083- Fixed a session resume silently reconnecting Remote Control after the user turned it off (`--resume`, SDK hosts, and the VS Code extension)
1084- [VSCode] Fixed sessions not honoring `remoteControlAtStartup` when explicitly enabled
1085
1086## 2.1.223
1087
1088- Added owner wildcard entries (`"owner/*"`) to the `strictKnownMarketplaces` and `blockedMarketplaces` managed settings for allowing or blocking all marketplace repos under a GitHub org
1089- 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
1090- Added a `/teleport` hint in cloud sessions showing how to continue locally with `claude --teleport <session id>`
1091- Fixed a Bash permission bypass where a crafted command could hide parts of itself from permission checks
1092- Fixed permission prompts so commands padded with tabs or invisible Unicode can no longer hide part of the command from the approval dialog
1093- Fixed workflow scripts being able to use dynamic `import()` to run code outside the workflow sandbox
1094- Fixed a permission gap where an agent definition's `bypassPermissions` mode ignored the org bypass-permissions disable policy
1095- Fixed resuming a session after a mid-session `/cd` coming back empty
1096- Fixed gateway model discovery hiding Claude models registered under provider-prefixed IDs such as `vertex_ai/claude-*` or `bedrock/anthropic.claude-*`
1097- 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
1098- 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
1099- Fixed sandboxed commands failing to start on Linux when `sandbox.filesystem.denyWrite` covers the working directory
1100- Fixed forked background agents getting stuck "already resuming" for the rest of the session when rebuilding the fork's parent prompt failed during resume
1101- 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
1102- Fixed a rare hang when parsing unusual `git push` output
1103- 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
1104- 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
1105- 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
1106- Changed `/code-review` with no effort level to reuse the level you typed last; type a level like `/code-review high` to change it
1107
1108## 2.1.222
1109
1110- 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
1111- Fixed PreToolUse auto-allow hooks bypassing tool restrictions in background agent tasks (summaries, compaction, renames)
1112- 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
1113- 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
1114- Fixed "Connection closed mid-response" errors being reported on responses that had actually completed
1115- 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
1116- Fixed sessions not linking to pull requests created after the branch was pushed, including through the GitHub REST API
1117- 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
1118- Fixed stream idle timeout firing on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateways despite server keep-alive pings arriving on the wire
1119- Fixed claude.ai connectors being falsely marked as needing authorization when the session token is invalid — they now show a `/login` hint instead
1120- Fixed tool errors not being displayed for tools no longer available locally, for example after an MCP server is removed
1121- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a long summary — it now truncates instead, so sends no longer fail on a character limit
1122- 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
1123- Fixed rare crashes when a file watcher hit a filesystem error or during file-watcher teardown
1124- 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
1125- 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
1126- Improved auto mode safety: messages sent to other agent sessions via `SendMessage` are now evaluated by the permission classifier before dispatch
1127- 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
1128- 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
1129- 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`
1130- Removed ultraplan feature
1131
1132## 2.1.221
1133
1134- [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
1135- 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`
1136- Added warnings to `claude plugin validate` when a marketplace or plugin name would be rejected by Claude Desktop's managed marketplace sync
1137- Added a `prompt-audit` subcommand to the `claude-api` skill for auditing prompts and tool descriptions for patterns written for older models
1138- Fixed a Bash tool permission-check bypass where zsh could execute hidden commands in `[[ ]]` regex conditionals; affected commands now prompt for permission
1139- Fixed PowerShell permission checks mishandling paths containing quote characters on Windows; such paths now prompt for approval
1140- 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
1141- 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
1142- Fixed @-mentioned files being silently dropped when pressing Esc to retract a prompt and resubmitting it
1143- Fixed a crash when preparing API requests for SDK MCP tools named after built-in object properties such as `constructor`
1144- Fixed WebSearch failing with a 400 error at effort `xhigh`/`max` when thinking is disabled
1145- Fixed sandboxed large uploads failing with TLS errors through the sandbox proxy
1146- Fixed Team and Enterprise spend-limit message incorrectly blaming the org's monthly limit instead of your individual spend limit
1147- Fixed Bedrock authentication with AWS SSO named profiles failing in desktop-managed sessions on Windows machines that set a stray `HOME` environment variable
1148- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN=0` not disabling interrupted-turn auto-resume; falsy values are now honored
1149- 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
1150- 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
1151- Fixed plugin- and org-delivered skills named after terminal-only built-ins (e.g. `/help`, `/feedback`) being un-invocable in non-interactive sessions
1152- Fixed the "Plugins changed" notification lingering after plugins were reloaded instead of clearing
1153- Fixed Vim mode: the yank register now survives dialogs, history search, and the transcript view instead of being silently emptied
1154- Fixed Vim mode: undoing back to an empty prompt now arms the "press ← again" confirm before returning to the agent view
1155- Improved tool search on Google Vertex AI: re-enabled for Claude 4.5-generation and newer models
1156- 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
1157- Reduced prompt-cache costs for auto-mode permission checks by reusing the cached conversation prefix across decisions
1158- Improved Stats panel to count cache tokens in its token totals, with a breakdown by input, output, cache read, and cache write
1159- 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
1160- 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
1161- 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
1162- Changed `/plugin install` to refresh a stale marketplace catalog and retry before reporting a plugin not found
1163- Changed plugins installed from `/plugin` to activate immediately when safe, instead of always requiring `/reload-plugins`
1164- Changed plugins to accept `"."` as a `skills` path, and the root-level `SKILL.md` validation error now suggests using the plugin root
1165- Changed `/status` to show the session kind: `interactive`, or a background job that is `attached` or `unattended`
1166- Changed emoji autocomplete to accept common alternate shortcodes like `:thumbsup:`, `:thumbsdown:`, and `:love:`
1167- Changed sessions forked with `/fork` to create a new worktree of their own instead of working in the original session's checkout
1168- Changed Claude in Chrome to close the browser tabs it opens once it no longer needs them
1169- Changed fast mode to report on the stream when usage credits run out mid-session, instead of failing silently
1170- Changed Monitor: a watch that exits without producing any output now says so instead of reporting "stream ended"
1171- Changed the Gateway `model` field validation: non-string values are rejected with a 400 instead of being forwarded
1172- Removed the repeated "Permission mode changed while the auto-mode classifier call was queued" notice from approval prompts
1173
1174## 2.1.220
1175
1176- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1177
1178## 2.1.219
1179
1180- Added Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, fast mode at $10/$50 per Mtok
1181- Added `sandbox.network.strictAllowlist` setting to deny non-allowlisted hosts for sandboxed commands without prompting
1182- Added `DirectoryAdded` hook that fires after `/add-dir` or the SDK `register_repo_root` control request registers a new working directory mid-session
1183- 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
1184- 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
1185- 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
1186- Fixed `claude -p` text output dropping the answer already produced when a turn dies on a mid-stream API error
1187- 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
1188- Fixed the Fable model row showing "Requires usage credits" for plans that include it, when a stale cache had baked the label in
1189- Fixed the `/model` picker showing the merged Opus row as plain "Opus" instead of "Opus (1M context)"
1190- Fixed copy-on-select inside GNU screen printing base64 into the terminal instead of copying the selection
1191- Fixed Remote Control clients keeping a stale fast-mode status after a model switch, reconnect, or failed org check
1192- 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
1193- Fixed Vim mode: pressing ← on an empty prompt now returns to the agent view from NORMAL mode, not just INSERT
1194- Fixed screen-reader mode rewriting the entire input line on every keystroke instead of echoing only the typed character
1195- Improved the "Remote Control is only available via api.anthropic.com" error to name the specific setting that caused it
1196- Improved `claude --teleport` to show which repo your current checkout points at when it doesn't match the session's repo
1197- 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`
1198- Changed managed MCP allowlist/denylist `${VAR}` entries to resolve from the startup environment and managed-settings env instead of settings-file env
1199- 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
1200- Added the current default workflow size to the running-workflow status line, with a pointer to `/config` for changing it
1201- Removed Opus 4.7 from fast mode; `/fast` now applies to Opus 5 and Opus 4.8
1202- Updated the claude-api skill to default to Claude Opus 5, with a migration path from Opus 4.8
1203- 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
1204
1205## 2.1.218
1206
1207- 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
1208- 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
1209- Fixed Windows paths with `\u`-prefixed segments (like `C:\Users\unicorn`) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
1210- 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
1211- Fixed multi-line paste collapsing into one line with `j` in place of newlines in terminals that encode pasted newlines as Ctrl+J
1212- Fixed `/context` reporting stale pre-compact token usage after compacting from the message picker
1213- 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
1214- Fixed `/code-review ultra` silently running a local review in non-interactive sessions — it now launches the cloud review
1215- Fixed gateway spend metering to price Bedrock application-inference-profile ARNs and other config-mapped upstream model IDs at the configured model's rates
1216- Fixed mojibake when a long IDE selection was truncated mid-emoji, and a case where a tool executor error could be silently dropped
1217- Fixed an engine teardown race that could start and abandon a phantom turn, and made input pushed after close consistently rejected
1218- 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
1219- Fixed VoiceOver reading "new line" instead of echoing the typed space at the end of the input in `--ax-screen-reader` mode
1220- Fixed plugin and settings panels not moving the terminal cursor to the focused row, so screen readers and magnifiers can follow arrow-key navigation
1221- Fixed crashes (maximum call stack exceeded) when a deeply nested watched directory tree was deleted or moved, and when rendering deeply nested UI trees
1222- Fixed pull request events occasionally being lost when a session exited immediately after creating or linking a PR
1223- Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard failing profile verification for assume-role profiles in partitioned AWS regions and on proxy-only networks
1224- Fixed rare negative or incorrect turn duration measurements after a system clock adjustment by timing turns with a monotonic clock
1225- Fixed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice over-counting claude.ai connectors that aren't connected in claude.ai
1226- Fixed prompt history entries being dropped or duplicated when history writes raced or failed
1227- 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
1228- Fixed agent frontmatter hooks running from untrusted folders: hooks now require the agent file's own folder to have accepted workspace trust
1229- Fixed fork-session lineage being lost after compaction in headless and SDK sessions
1230- Fixed a resumed session failing every turn, or crashing on resume, when its history held a malformed delta attachment
1231- Improved `/ultrareview` error feedback so Claude can correct an invalid argument instead of retrying it unchanged
1232- Improved auto mode: the dangerous-rm, background-`&`, and suspicious-Windows-path checks no longer open permission dialogs; the auto-mode classifier adjudicates them instead
1233- Improved sandbox command restrictions for IDE interactions
1234- Improved trust dialogs to name the repository root the grant covers
1235- Changed `/deep-research` to start only when invoked manually; Claude no longer launches it on its own
1236- 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
1237- Added an announcement when fast mode changes as a result of switching models via `/config model=<x>` or Remote Control
1238- Changed server-managed settings so benign feature and cost toggles no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
1239- Changed agent markdown files to reject agent names containing `:`, which is reserved for plugin namespacing
1240- Changed skills with `context: fork` to run in the background by default; opt out per skill with `background: false`
1241- Added `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off`/`1`/`0` (case-insensitive) as accepted values for skill and plugin frontmatter booleans, alongside `true`/`false`
1242- 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
1243
1244## 2.1.217
1245
1246- Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting
1247- 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
1248- Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session
1249- Fixed Windows auto-update failures that could leave `claude.exe` missing; failed updates now restore the preserved executable automatically
1250- Fixed background session isolation not canonicalizing symlinked working directories, which could let sessions escape their workspace folder
1251- Fixed auto-compact never triggering for Claude Opus 4.8 on Bedrock and `/compact` failing once over the limit
1252- Fixed corporate mTLS, TLS-verify, OAuth scope, and proxy settings being ignored in Claude Desktop sessions
1253- 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
1254- 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
1255- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` and `/resume` failing with a TypeError when a transcript has a malformed attachment entry
1256- Fixed Remote Control sessions not showing a pending permission prompt or dialog to viewers that connected after it appeared
1257- 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
1258- 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
1259- 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
1260- 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
1261- Changed the login-expiry warning to appear 3 days before expiry instead of 5
1262- Capped the frontend-design plugin suggestion tip at 3 lifetime impressions instead of repeating indefinitely
1263- 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
1264- Changed subagents to no longer spawn nested subagents by default; set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to allow deeper nesting
1265- Fixed `--max-budget-usd` not stopping background subagents: once the cap is reached, new spawns are denied and running background agents are halted
1266
1267## 2.1.216
1268
1269- Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control
1270- Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes
1271- Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session
1272- Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first — free-text answers now get neutral wording
1273- Fixed Claude Code on the web re-asking the same question and dropping your answer after the session sat idle for a few minutes
1274- 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
1275- Fixed resumed background agent sessions reverting to the default agent: the agent's prompt and tool restrictions are now restored
1276- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents redirecting git into the shared checkout via `git -C`, `--git-dir`, or `GIT_DIR`/`GIT_WORK_TREE`
1277- Fixed worktree sessions landing in another project's leftover worktree when the working directory did not match the selected project
1278- Fixed background sessions whose worktree has no git repository being undeletable
1279- Fixed `claude daemon stop --any` potentially terminating an unrelated process via a stale legacy daemon lockfile
1280- Fixed Esc-Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind picker in long-running sessions with background tasks
1281- Fixed Bash command permission checking for compound statements with redirects inside `&&` lists or negations
1282- Fixed pressing Ctrl+X twice in the agent list failing to delete a session, and deleted sessions reappearing when their background worker had died
1283- Fixed background subagents getting cancelled when a high-priority message arrives during their startup window
1284- 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
1285- Fixed Claude-in-Chrome 403-looping on reconnect when the session's OAuth token lacks a required scope
1286- Fixed workflow saves and scheduled-task writes following a symlink at `.claude`, which could redirect writes outside the project
1287- 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
1288- Fixed read-only commands on Windows accessing network paths without a permission prompt
1289- Fixed Bash command parsing of non-ASCII characters to match real shell word boundaries
1290- Fixed PowerShell tool permission validation of commands containing invisible Unicode characters
1291- Fixed dialogs in fullscreen mode stretching past the right-hand edge of their panel
1292- Fixed the `/config` settings list in fullscreen mode clipping its keyboard-hint footer
1293- Fixed the transcript-mode (Ctrl+O) footer hint wrapping on terminals narrower than 104 columns
1294- Fixed the Prometheus metrics endpoint (`OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus`) emitting invalid `# UNIT` lines
1295- Fixed skills and commands changed during a session not appearing in the slash menu until restart
1296- Fixed plugin skills with a `name` frontmatter field losing their plugin prefix in slash-command autocomplete
1297- 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
1298- 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
1299- Improved validation of `git` and `gh` command arguments in the PowerShell tool
1300- Improved the `/ultrareview` diff-too-large error to show configured limits, measured diff size, and largest contributing files
1301- Improved `/code-review ultra` empty-diff message to name the exact base ref and suggest passing an explicit base
1302- Improved the spend limit adjustment prompt to show the server's reason when a spend limit change is rejected
1303- `/context` now shows an explicit warning when the conversation exceeds the context window, and a failed `/compact` displays as an error
1304- `/rewind` no longer restores or deletes files through symlinks or hard links at tracked paths and reports how many paths it skipped
1305- Background sessions: `/mcp` and `/install-github-app` now park a "needs input" request in the agent view when no client is attached
1306- Updated the bundled dataviz skill: reordered the default chart palette and fixed guidance that suggested direct labels for four-series charts
1307- [VSCode] Fixed right-to-left text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering in the wrong order when mixed with English or code
1308- 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
1309
1310## 2.1.215
1311
1312- Claude no longer runs the `/verify` and `/code-review` skills on its own; invoke them with `/verify` or `/code-review` when you want them
1313
1314## 2.1.214
1315
1316- 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`
1317- Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions
1318- Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer
1319- Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically
1320- Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in `[[ ]]` comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval
1321- Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain `help` and `man` commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths
1322- Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog
1323- 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
1324- Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent
1325- Added an ISO `modified` timestamp to memory file frontmatter
1326- Added `message.uuid`, `client_request_id`, and `tool_source` attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance
1327- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH` to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes
1328- Added reasoning effort to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort
1329- 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
1330- Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags
1331- Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a `pkill -f` pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)
1332- 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
1333- Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows
1334- 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
1335- Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task
1336- Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)
1337- Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)
1338- 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)
1339- Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting `where.exe`, `fc.exe`, and `diff.exe` as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)
1340- Fixed `>` and `>>` under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8
1341- Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon
1342- Fixed background sessions parked with `←` or `/background` and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely
1343- Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via `claude rm` or the agent view once the background service had gone idle
1344- Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view
1345- Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store
1346- Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled
1347- 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
1348- Fixed plugins enabled via the `--settings` CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)
1349- Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates
1350- Fixed `/ultrareview` refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files
1351- Fixed `claude update` and `claude doctor` hanging silently, and the `/status` System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory
1352- Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline `#` when memory files are saved
1353- Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative `message_delta` frames
1354- Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking
1355- Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation
1356- Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context
1357- Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources
1358- 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
1359- 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.
1360- Changed `file` commands using `-m`/`--magic-file` or `-f`/`--files-from` to require permission instead of being auto-allowed as read-only
1361- Changed keep-alive connection pooling to disable after a stale-connection error, so retries open a fresh socket
1362- Changed SessionStart hooks to report source `"fork"` when a session begins as a fork instead of `"resume"`
1363
1364## 2.1.212
1365
1366- `/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`
1367- Added `claude auto-mode reset` to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass `--yes` to skip)
1368- 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
1369- 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
1370- 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`
1371- 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
1372- Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. `touch`, `rm`) without a permission prompt or SDK `canUseTool` callback
1373- Fixed worktree creation following a repository-committed symlink at `.claude/worktrees`, which could create files outside the repository
1374- 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
1375- 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
1376- 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
1377- Fixed shell mode (`!`) not executing commands containing file paths while the path autocomplete popup was open
1378- Fixed auto-mode denial notifications rendering broken characters when a long denial reason was truncated mid-emoji
1379- 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
1380- Fixed `/ultrareview` rejecting PR references like `#123`, `PR 123`, and pasted PR URLs; error hints now name the command you actually typed
1381- Fixed `/ultrareview <branch>` not fetching the branch from origin when it exists remotely; it now suggests the closest branch name on typos
1382- Fixed `/ultrareview` skipping the billing confirmation in a new conversation after `/clear`
1383- Fixed `/ultrareview`'s "not a git repository" error on Claude Desktop now suggesting the project's repository folder instead of terminal commands
1384- 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
1385- 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
1386- Fixed `ExitWorktree` failing with "no active EnterWorktree session" after resuming a session with `--continue`/`--resume` in print/SDK mode
1387- Fixed the workflow agent grid staying empty for Remote Control clients that join a session mid-run
1388- Fixed streaming-mode control requests being marked complete before their handler finished, which could lose the request on session restart
1389- Fixed background sessions created with `/fork` losing their live-parent protection after a state write failure
1390- 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
1391- Fixed agent teams: a stopping teammate could send the leader duplicate idle notifications when team initialization re-ran within a session
1392- Fixed the plan-approval dialog footer splitting "ctrl+g to edit in <editor>" apart when the file path is long
1393- Fixed the welcome banner keeping its old panel widths after a combined width+height terminal resize in fullscreen mode
1394- Fixed diff previews losing their line numbers and +/- markers in narrow layouts
1395- Fixed @-mentions attaching nothing after a partial file read, plugin uninstall targeting the wrong marketplace, and false "Command timed out" on exit code 143
1396- Fixed OpenTelemetry HTTP exports being rejected with 411/400 by Azure Monitor and other endpoints that don't accept chunked transfer encoding
1397- Fixed OTLP event log records missing `trace_id`/`span_id` when `TRACEPARENT` is set in SDK/headless mode
1398- Fixed conversations with many images incorrectly failing with "Request too large" errors, and improved the error message to explain the actual cause
1399- Fixed web search and web fetch returning "API Error" text as search results or page content when the API was overloaded
1400- Improved web search and web fetch reliability by retrying 529 errors and rate-limited requests with bounded backoff
1401- Improved prompt caching: the mid-conversation system block now works behind LLM gateways and custom base URLs (Bedrock, Vertex, 1P)
1402- Improved background agent attach: cold-attaching now instantly shows the formatted transcript while the session boots, instead of a blank wait
1403- Reduced token usage in inter-agent messaging: `SendMessage` bodies are no longer duplicated into replayed history and tool results
1404- Changed `/fork` to name the copy after your prompt when the session has no title, so the row is recognizable in the agent view
1405- Changed bare `/btw` to reopen the side-question panel on your most recent exchange so you can browse earlier answers
1406- Changed the `←` footer hint to pulse `N done` for a moment when a background agent finishes while nothing needs your input
1407- Deprecated the Task tool's `mode` parameter (now ignored); subagents inherit the parent session's permission mode by default
1408- Changed Enterprise `forceLoginMethod` to be enforced for VS Code extension, SDK, `setup-token`, and `install-github-app` logins, not just the terminal
1409- Changed session transcripts to record the reasoning effort level on each assistant message
1410- 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
1411- 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"
1412- Updated the auth status panel title from "Cloud authentication" to "Authentication"
1413- Corrected an earlier release note (2.1.200): tmux through the 3.6 series lacks synchronized output; newer tmux with support is detected automatically
1414
1415## 2.1.211
1416
1417- Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output
1418- 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
1419- Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt
1420- Fixed parallel Claude Code sessions all logging out simultaneously after wake-from-sleep when many sessions share one credential store
1421- Fixed plugin MCP servers not reconnecting after an idle web session woke, leaving MCP calls failing until the next message
1422- 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
1423- Fixed subagents spawned with an explicit model override reverting to the parent's model when resumed or sent a follow-up message
1424- Fixed nested `.claude/rules/*.md` files loading even when setting sources exclude project settings
1425- 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
1426- Fixed file uploads to Claude in Chrome from remote and CLI sessions
1427- Fixed edits that leave the input as "?" being silently swallowed and toggling the shortcuts panel
1428- Fixed a startup hang when the Claude in Chrome extension is enabled but Chrome is not running
1429- Fixed a 300ms delay revealing async content (Settings tabs, Stats, diff views, and other loading states)
1430- Fixed reopening a just-stopped background session from the agents view starting a blank conversation under the same session id
1431- Fixed `/loop` hiding the session from `/resume` after a single use
1432- Fixed screen reader users losing the audible terminal bell after `/terminal-setup` or onboarding terminal setup
1433- Fixed background jobs on LLM gateway auth (`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` + `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) coming back "Not logged in" after the daemon respawns them
1434- 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
1435- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the session cost counter — the statusline's cost now starts at $0 after `/clear`
1436- Fixed Claude in Chrome setup pages failing to open in the browser on Windows
1437- Fixed headless print-mode sessions on Windows crashing or silently exiting when stdin is unreadable
1438- Fixed background session titles in the agents view showing the naming model's refusal text when the prompt contains a link
1439- Fixed background agents killed by the user auto-respawning, and revived agents re-running stale prompts from old sessions
1440- Fixed routines with no schedule reporting a next run time in the year 1
1441- Hardened synced skill/plugin directory naming on Windows and kept CCR web fetch/search proxies working after `/clear`
1442- Improved terminal layout and rendering performance
1443- Improved background agent result reporting — Claude now reports the status of still-running agents and waits for the real completion instead of fabricating results
1444- Improved the memory index over-limit warning to measure only loaded content, excluding frontmatter and HTML comments
1445- Updated integer environment variables (timeouts, token budgets, retry counts) to accept scientific notation and digit-separator spellings like `1e6` and `64_000`
1446- Updated documentation links to the current docs sites
1447- Changed "always allow" permission rules to save at the repository root, so approvals granted in a git worktree persist across sessions and worktrees
1448- Changed `/usage-credits` to ask for confirmation before sending a request to organization admins
1449- Changed Vim mode `s` and `S` (substitute char/line) to work in NORMAL mode, matching vim behavior
1450- [VSCode] Updated the Remote Control banner to describe what it does
1451- Claude in Chrome: hardened file-upload path validation
1452- Claude in Chrome: `save_to_disk` on screenshot actions now writes the image to disk and returns the path; previously it did nothing
1453- 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.
1454
1455## 2.1.210
1456
1457- Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck
1458- Added a startup warning for `Write(path)`, `NotebookEdit(path)`, and `Glob(path)` permission rules — use `Edit(path)` or `Read(path)` instead
1459- Fixed `isolation: 'worktree'` subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree
1460- Fixed the `ultracode` keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated input such as webhook payloads and relayed PR comments
1461- Fixed a rendered text fragment leaking into crash telemetry when a UI component returned content outside a styled text element
1462- Fixed paste markers leaking into external editors opened from Claude Code, which could appear as stray È/É characters around pasted text
1463- 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
1464- Fixed a session crash when a tool's result renderer returned a numeric bigint value or plain text instead of a UI element
1465- Fixed a hook callback timeout being misreported to the model as a user rejection, which made unattended sessions stop and wait
1466- 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
1467- Fixed plugin-provided MCP servers being torn down when MCP servers are re-synced mid-session
1468- Fixed plan approvals without edits being labeled "(edited by user)" and overwriting the plan file with a stale snapshot
1469- Fixed `/doctor` skipping its auto-mode-default proposal on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, where auto mode no longer needs an opt-in
1470- Fixed Grep content mode claiming "No matches found" when paginating past the end of results
1471- Fixed unmatched `$1`/`$2` positional placeholders in skills and commands being silently stripped; they are now preserved verbatim
1472- Fixed plugin cache writes leaving temp files behind on failure and failing on locked-file renames on Windows and network filesystems
1473- Fixed background workers crash-looping when a client resets its connection to the background service
1474- Fixed `claude agents --effort ultracode` not reaching dispatched sessions; the value was silently dropped
1475- Fixed pressing ← to open the agents view dropping the task tracker when returning to the session
1476- Fixed the agents dashboard retaining pasted images from abandoned reply drafts after their session was deleted
1477- Fixed killed background sessions leaving a permanent `git worktree lock` behind; the periodic sweep now releases locks whose owning process is gone
1478- Fixed SDK MCP servers registered via an `initialize` control request waiting until the next turn to start connecting
1479- Fixed returning to the agents view from a session leaving overlapping ghost frames with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1`
1480- Fixed late-appearing `.claude/*` symlinks not being reconciled into the sandbox deny-write list
1481- Hardened the Agent tool against indirect prompt injection via content a subagent read
1482- 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
1483- 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
1484- Improved the bundled dataviz skill's chart color validation with perceptual OKLab color difference and recalibrated color-blindness thresholds
1485- Memory writes that leave a MEMORY.md index over its read limit now produce an explicit error instead of silent truncation
1486- Screen reader mode now announces permission mode changes aloud when cycling modes with Shift+Tab
1487- The agents footer hint now shows how many background agents are waiting on your input, with a brief color emphasis when the count changes
1488- Agent view: the session you pressed ← from stays visibly marked even after mouse hover or arrow keys move the selection
1489- Fable temporarily shows as unavailable in the advisor picker while a server-side issue causing Fable advisor failures is fixed
1490
1491## 2.1.209
1492
1493- Fixed /model and other dialogs being blocked in `claude agents` background sessions (reverts an overly broad guard)
1494
1495## 2.1.208
1496
1497- 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.
1498- Added `vimInsertModeRemaps` setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like `jj` to Escape in vim mode
1499- 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
1500- Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and "Other" input rows in fullscreen mode
1501- Changed the Fable 5 usage-credits consent prompt to start with the decline option focused
1502- Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings
1503- Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts
1504- 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
1505- 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
1506- Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight
1507- Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from `claude -p`
1508- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (`1e6` became `1`)
1509- 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
1510- Fixed the Edit tool failing on files modified after reading when the target text still matches uniquely
1511- 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
1512- 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
1513- 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
1514- Fixed `/upgrade` showing a login flow instead of the upgrade URL when the browser fails to open
1515- Fixed stream-json input killing the session on blank CRLF or whitespace-only lines from Windows-style SDK hosts
1516- 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
1517- Fixed repeated "No completion record was found" notices on session resume — orphaned background tasks now collapse into a single summary
1518- Fixed Remote Control clients attaching to a terminal-hosted session not seeing background agents and workflow progress until a task started or stopped
1519- 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
1520- Fixed `/usage` showing stale cached bars over fresher data, and `/mcp` not reclassifying placeholder servers after config edits
1521- 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
1522- Fixed the workflow save dialog showing `~/.claude/workflows/` instead of the `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` location for user-scope saves
1523- Fixed `/release-notes` adding the viewed notes to the model's context — "Show all" previously injected the entire changelog into every subsequent request
1524- Fixed a memory leak in the agent view where pasted images were retained for the screen's lifetime after sending peek replies
1525- Fixed SDK sessions losing agents defined via the initialize request when a plugin refresh ran before the client attached
1526- 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
1527- 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
1528- Fixed multi-second per-turn slowdowns in sessions with many permission deny/ask rules — rule matchers are now compiled once and cached
1529- Improved input responsiveness while agent task lists update — task updates no longer re-render the entire UI
1530- 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)
1531- Reduced memory usage by bounding the file edit read cache to 16 MB instead of pinning up to 1,000 full files
1532- Reduced session transcript size (up to 79x in edit-heavy sessions) and bounded checkpoint disk usage by pruning superseded file-history backups
1533- Reduced memory usage when resuming sessions with background agents or forks spawned from large conversations
1534- Completed background agents now stay listed in `/tasks` until cleanup instead of vanishing the moment they finish
1535- Attaching to a stopped background agent now shows its transcript immediately while the session warms up, instead of a blank "Session is starting" screen
1536- Background sessions: an older daemon no longer silently restarts workers spawned by a newer version onto the older binary
1537- 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
1538- Catastrophic removals (e.g. `rm -rf ~`) in commands containing `$(…)`/backticks/`<(…)` now prompt in `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and auto mode, matching the plain form
1539- `/install-github-app` and the `/mcp` settings menu no longer open in background sessions
1540- MCP servers configured with an empty URL now show as "not configured" in `/mcp` instead of a config error
1541- `/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
1542- 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)
1543
1544## 2.1.207
1545
1546- Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings
1547- Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
1548- 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
1549- Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
1550- 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
1551- Fixed compound commands with `cd` prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to `/dev/null`
1552- Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
1553- 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
1554- Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, `.ignore`, and `.worktreeinclude` breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
1555- 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
1556- Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
1557- Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
1558- Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
1559- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
1560- Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname
1561- Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
1562- Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of adding a second one
1563- 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
1564- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
1565- Changed auto mode to no longer read `autoMode` from `.claude/settings.local.json` (repo-resident); use `~/.claude/settings.json` instead
1566- 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.
1567- 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).
1568- Plugin option values (`pluginConfigs`) are no longer read from project-level `.claude/settings.json`; only user, `--settings`, and managed settings are honored
1569- 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
1570
1571## 2.1.206
1572
1573- Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior
1574- Added a `/doctor` check that proposes trimming checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
1575- `/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`
1576- Gateway: `/login` now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
1577- `EnterWorktree` now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project's `.claude/worktrees/` directory
1578- 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
1579- 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`
1580- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` not responding to keyboard input on startup
1581- 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
1582- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` being silently ignored by `claude agents` / `--bg` background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
1583- Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
1584- Fixed `--permission-prompt-tool` pointing at an MCP server crashing with "MCP tool not found" on cold start before the server finishes connecting
1585- 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
1586- Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the `/model` picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
1587- Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing "running" after a slash command was sent mid-turn
1588- Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare `claude --resume` on Windows
1589- Fixed `claude rm` leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in `claude agents`
1590- Fixed `/remote-control` showing "Unknown command" when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
1591- Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
1592- Fixed `/status` listing the same broken-install warning twice
1593- Fixed false "disused plugin" tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
1594- Fixed `/doctor`'s update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask's channel instead of the settings channel
1595- Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
1596- Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an `awsCredentialExport` helper on networks with restricted egress
1597- Improved `/code-review` findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
1598- Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
1599- Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted
1600
1601## 2.1.205
1602
1603- Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
1604- Fixed `--json-schema` silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the `format` keyword being rejected
1605- Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the `--max-turns` limit
1606- Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
1607- Fixed background agents staying shown as "failed" or "completed" in the agent list after being resumed with `SendMessage`
1608- Fixed background jobs flipping from "needs input" back to "working" in the agent list when the agent's turn contained no readable text
1609- Fixed `claude attach` erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
1610- Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
1611- 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
1612- Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
1613- Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
1614- Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
1615- Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
1616- Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
1617- Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale "Running" status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
1618- Improved auto mode to ask before running `rm -rf` on a variable it can't resolve from context
1619- Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater's peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
1620- Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
1621- Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in `claude agents`
1622- 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
1623- `/doctor` is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; `/checkup` is its alias
1624- 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
1625- Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with "Not logged in · Please run /login" on CLI 2.1.203+
1626
1627## 2.1.204
1628
1629- Fixed hook events not streaming during SessionStart hooks in headless sessions, which could cause remote workers to be idle-reaped mid-hook
1630
1631## 2.1.203
1632
1633- Added a warning when your login is about to expire, so you can re-authenticate before background sessions are interrupted
1634- Added a grey ⏸ badge to the footer when in manual permission mode, making the active mode always visible
1635- Added the session's additional working directories to MCP `roots/list`, with `notifications/roots/list_changed` sent when the set changes
1636- 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)
1637- Fixed background sessions becoming permanently unresponsive to attach, replies, and stop when the daemon's session token went stale — the session now recovers automatically
1638- Fixed returning to `claude agents` silently stopping running subagents and re-running the prompt from scratch — their work now carries over
1639- 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
1640- Fixed background agents inheriting a stale `PATH` from the daemon instead of the dispatching shell, causing missing tools on Windows
1641- 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
1642- Fixed Bash failing with "argument list too long" in repos with many git worktrees
1643- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents sometimes running shell commands in the parent checkout instead of their own worktree
1644- Fixed worktree creation rejecting nested repositories in multi-repo workspaces, leaving background sessions unable to isolate and edit
1645- 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
1646- Fixed a background daemon auto-upgrade failure silently killing all running background sessions
1647- Fixed `TaskStop` and `TaskOutput` failing to find background agents spawned by another agent — errors now list running agents by id and description
1648- Fixed the `claude agents` composer discarding your typed message when a slash command isn't available there
1649- Fixed the agent list crashing when opening a stopped session whose conversation was already open in another session
1650- Fixed background sessions showing "Needs input" in the agent list after the question was already answered
1651- Fixed background agent startup failures showing only "exit_with_message" instead of the actual error
1652- Fixed background sessions ignoring `effortLevel` changes in settings.json when forked through the daemon
1653- Fixed attached background sessions ignoring `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` opt-outs
1654- Fixed `/exit` incorrectly warning about running background agents after all named agents had completed
1655- Fixed background sessions started from a non-git directory unable to edit files when a `WorktreeCreate` hook was configured
1656- Fixed the `@` directory picker in `claude agents` not showing registered git worktrees
1657- Fixed background task output on Windows being permanently replaced by an empty file after `/clear`
1658- Fixed content jumping when scrolling up through long transcript history
1659- Fixed the terminal flickering and jumping while typing in bash mode when a shell-history suggestion was shown
1660- Fixed literal `^[[I` / `^[[O` escape codes being printed when reattaching to a background session
1661- Fixed LSP-only plugins being incorrectly flagged for disuse when their language servers deliver diagnostics or answer navigation requests
1662- Improved responsiveness while long responses stream: live-preview updates no longer re-render the whole screen
1663- Improved subagent behavior: agents are now less likely to re-delegate their entire task to another subagent
1664- Reduced binary size by ~7 MB and startup memory by ~7 MB by loading a large bundled dependency lazily instead of inlining it
1665- Changed left arrow to no longer close the background tasks, diff, and workflow detail views — press Esc instead
1666- Changed the empty `claude agents` view to always show the organized sections (Needs input / Working / Completed) with descriptions
1667- Removed the startup "claude command missing or broken" warnings — they now appear in `/doctor` and `/status` instead
1668- Removed a redundant navigation hint from the `claude agents` footer
1669- [VSCode] Added a Settings toggle for "Enable Remote Control for all sessions"
1670
1671## 2.1.202
1672
1673- 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
1674- 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
1675- Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning the history file
1676- Fixed `/rename` on background sessions being reverted when the job restarts, which broke addressing the session by its new name
1677- Fixed transient mTLS handshake failures when settings were re-applied during an in-place client certificate rotation
1678- Fixed commands sent from Remote Control (mobile/web) into an interactive session failing with "Unknown command"
1679- Fixed images and files sent from the Remote Control mobile or web app without a caption being silently dropped
1680- 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
1681- Fixed opening a chat from `claude agents` sometimes failing with "currently running as a background agent" followed by a worker crash/respawn loop
1682- 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
1683- Fixed voice dictation retrying in an unbounded loop when the microphone or audio recorder fails — repeated capture failures now pause voice input
1684- Fixed `/remote-control` sessions showing the wrong permission mode in the mobile and web apps
1685- 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
1686- Fixed installer and updater downloads failing immediately with "aborted" when a proxy or network drops the connection mid-download — transient connection drops now retry
1687- Fixed re-invoking an already-loaded skill appending a duplicate copy of its instructions to context
1688- Improved `/workflows` agent list layout: wider titles, a dedicated time column, shorter model names, and no per-row tool-call counts
1689- 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"
1690- 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
1691
1692## 2.1.201
1693
1694- Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders
1695
1696## 2.1.200
1697
1698- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
1699- 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`
1700- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
1701- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
1702- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
1703- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
1704- 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
1705- 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
1706- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
1707- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
1708- 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`
1709- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
1710- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
1711- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
1712- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
1713- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
1714- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
1715
1716## 2.1.199
1717
1718- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
1719- 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
1720- 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
1721- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
1722- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
1723- 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
1724- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
1725- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
1726- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
1727- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
1728- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
1729- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
1730- 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
1731- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
1732- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
1733- 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
1734- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
1735- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
1736- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
1737- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
1738- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
1739- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
1740- `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`
1741- `claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
1742
1743## 2.1.198
1744
1745- 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)
1746- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
1747- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
1748- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
1749- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
1750- 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
1751- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
1752- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
1753- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
1754- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
1755- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
1756- 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
1757- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
1758- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
1759- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
1760- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
1761- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
1762- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
1763- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
1764- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
1765- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
1766- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
1767- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
1768- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
1769- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
1770- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
1771- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
1772- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
1773- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
1774- 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
1775- `/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
1776- 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
1777- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
1778
1779## 2.1.197
1780
1781- 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
1782
1783## 2.1.196
1784
1785- 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
1786- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
1787- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
1788- 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`
1789- 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
1790- 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
1791- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
1792- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
1793- 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
1794- 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
1795- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
1796- 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
1797- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
1798- 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
1799- 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
1800- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
1801- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
1802- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
1803- 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
1804- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
1805- 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
1806- 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
1807- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
1808- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
1809- 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.
1810- 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`
1811- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
1812
1813## 2.1.195
1814
1815- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
1816- 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.
1817- Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
1818- Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
1819- Fixed external plugins enabled only by project `.claude/settings.json` not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path
1820- Fixed `/plugin` Enable/Disable not working when a plugin's `plugin.json` `name` differs from its marketplace entry name
1821- Fixed background jobs disappearing from `claude agents` or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
1822- Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
1823- Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
1824- Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes "no microphone" from "SoX not installed" when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
1825- Improved `claude agents` completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
1826- Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts
1827
1828## 2.1.193
1829
1830- Added `autoMode.classifyAllShell` setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
1831- Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and `/permissions` recent denials
1832- 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.
1833- Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (`!`)
1834- Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at `/mcp`
1835- Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1`)
1836- Fixed `/model` and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after `/login`
1837- Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
1838- Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
1839- Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
1840- Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
1841- Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
1842- Improved MCP `headersHelper` auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
1843- Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace `renames` maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
1844- Improved `/add-dir` message when the directory is already a working directory
1845
1846## 2.1.191
1847
1848- Added `/rewind` support for resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run
1849- Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
1850- Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent
1851- Fixed `/voice` showing a generic "not available" message when disabled by an organization's policy — it now explains the restriction
1852- Fixed `/login` URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
1853- Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
1854- Fixed `claude agents` sending builtin slash commands like `/usage` to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
1855- Fixed `claude agents` job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the `[Image #N]` placeholder
1856- Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. `"Bash,PowerShell"`) silently never firing
1857- Fixed `/permissions` Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
1858- Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
1859- Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
1860- 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
1861- 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
1862- Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (`tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list`) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
1863- 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
1864- Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
1865- Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL `/`) to hint how to reach slash commands
1866- Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
1867- Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache
1868
1869## 2.1.190
1870
1871- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1872
1873## 2.1.187
1874
1875- Added `sandbox.credentials` setting to block sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables
1876- 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
1877- Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, `/model`, `/config`, etc.) in fullscreen mode
1878- Fixed `--resume` failing with "No conversation found" when the original `-p` run produced no model turns
1879- 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
1880- 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`)
1881- Fixed Claude Code Remote sessions taking ~2.7s longer to start after the agent proxy CA system-trust install was added
1882- Fixed pasted Korean/CJK text turning into mojibake in terminals that deliver paste as per-byte extended-key events
1883- Fixed `/update` over Remote Control hanging when a startup trust dialog would have shown
1884- Fixed background jobs in the agents view getting stuck in "working" indefinitely when the agent ended a turn without producing structured output
1885- Fixed channel connections dropping after navigating to the agents view and back, and after `/bg`, `/tui`, or `/update`
1886- Fixed agent stop notifications not correctly attributing who stopped the agent, and improved wording ("finished"/"stopped" instead of "came to rest")
1887- Fixed subagent depth tracking: resumed subagents now restore their original spawn depth, and forked subagents now count toward the depth cap
1888- Fixed leaked agent worktree registrations: locked `.git/worktrees/` entries from killed agents are now cleaned up automatically
1889- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
1890- Fixed `claude --help` not listing the `--bg`/`--background` flag
1891- Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while `/share` is uploading
1892- Improved `/install-github-app`: GitHub Actions workflow setup is now optional — you can install just the GitHub App and skip the workflow/secret steps
1893- Improved `/btw` with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
1894- Improved `/plugin` to surface plugins you haven't used recently so you can clean them up
1895- [VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session
1896
1897## 2.1.186
1898
1899- 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
1900- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view

1902- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
1903- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
1904- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
1905- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
1906- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
1907- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
1908- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
1909- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
1910- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
1911- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
1912- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
1913- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
1914- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
1915- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
1916- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
1917- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
1918- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
1919- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
1920- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
1921- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
1922- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
1923- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
1924- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
1925- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
1926- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
1927- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
1928- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
1929- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
1930- 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
1931- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
1932
1933## 2.1.185
1934
1935- 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
1936
1937## 2.1.183
1938
1939- 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
1940- 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
1941- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
1942- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
1943- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
1944- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
1945- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
1946- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
1947- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
1948- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
1949- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
1950- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
1951- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
1952- 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
1953- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
1954- 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
1955- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
1956
1957## 2.1.181
1958
1959- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
1960- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
1961- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
1962- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
1963- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
1964- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
1965- 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
1966- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
1967- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
1968- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
1969- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
1970- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
1971- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
1972- 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
1973- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
1974- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
1975- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
1976- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
1977- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
1978- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
1979- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
1980- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
1981- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
1982- 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`
1983- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
1984- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
1985- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
1986- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
1987- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
1988- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
1989- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
1990- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
1991- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
1992- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
1993- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
1994- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
1995- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
1996- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
1997- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
1998
1999## 2.1.179
2000
2001- 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"
2002- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
2003- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
2004- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
2005- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
2006- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
2007- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
2008- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
2009- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
2010
2011## 2.1.178
2012
2013- 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.
2014- 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
2015- 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
2016- 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/`
2017- 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
2018- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
2019- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
2020- 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
2021- 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
2022- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
2023- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
2024- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
2025- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
2026- 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
2027- 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`
2028- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
2029- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
2030- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
2031- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
2032- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
2033- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
2034- 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
2035- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
2036- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
2037
2038## 2.1.176
2039
2040- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
2041- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
2042- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
2043- 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
2044- 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
2045- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
2046- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
2047- 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
2048- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
2049- 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
2050- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
2051- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
2052- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
2053- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
2054- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
2055- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
2056- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
2057- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
2058- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
2059- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
2060- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
2061- 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
2062
2063## 2.1.175
2064
2065- 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
2066
2067## 2.1.174
2068
2069- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
2070- 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
2071- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
2072- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
2073- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
2074- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
2075- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
2076- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
2077- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
2078- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
2079- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
2080- [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
2081- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
2082
2083## 2.1.173
2084
2085- 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
2086- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
2087
2088## 2.1.172
2089
2090- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
2091- 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
2092- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
2093- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
2094- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
2095- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
2096- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
2097- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
2098- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
2099- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
2100- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
2101- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
2102- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
2103- 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
2104- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
2105- 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
2106- 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
2107- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
2108- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
2109- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
2110- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
2111- 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
2112- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
2113- 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
2114- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
2115- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
2116- `/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
2117- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
2118- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
2119- [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
2120
2121## 2.1.170
2122
2123- 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
2124- 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.
2125
2126## 2.1.169
2127
2128- 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
2129- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
2130- 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
2131- 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
2132- 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
2133- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
2134- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
2135- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
2136- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
2137- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
2138- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
2139- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
2140- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
2141- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
2142- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
2143- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
2144- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
2145- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
2146- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
2147- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
2148- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
2149- 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
2150- 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
2151- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
2152- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
2153- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
2154- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
2155- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
2156- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
2157- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions

2168
2169- 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
2170- 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
2171- 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
2172- `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)
2173- 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
2174- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
2175- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
2176- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
2177- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
2178- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
2179- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
2180- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
2181- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
2182- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
2183- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
2184- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
2185- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
2186- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
2187- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
2188- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
2189- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
2190
2191## 2.1.165
2192
2193- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2194
2195## 2.1.163
2196
2197- Added `requiredMinimumVersion` and `requiredMaximumVersion` managed settings — Claude Code refuses to start if its version is outside the allowed range and directs the user to an approved version
2198- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
2199- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
2200- Hooks: Stop and SubagentStop hooks can now return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` to give Claude feedback and keep the turn going without being labeled a hook error
2201- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
2202- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
2203- 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
2204- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
2205- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
2206- Fixed Bash commands failing on Windows with "EEXIST: file already exists" on the session-env directory when it has the read-only attribute or is inside OneDrive
2207- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
2208- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
2209- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
2210- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
2211- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
2212- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
2213- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
2214- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
2215- 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
2216- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
2217- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
2218- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
2219
2220## 2.1.162
2221
2222- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
2223- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
2224- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
2225- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
2226- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
2227- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
2228- 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
2229- 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
2230- 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
2231- 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
2232- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
2233- 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
2234- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
2235- 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
2236- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
2237- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
2238- 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
2239- 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
2240- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
2241- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
2242- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
2243- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
2244- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
2245- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
2246- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
2247- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
2248- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
2249- 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
2250
2251## 2.1.161
2252
2253- `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
2254- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
2255- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
2256- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
2257- 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
2258- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
2259- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
2260- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
2261- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
2262- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
2263- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
2264- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
2265- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
2266- 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
2267- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
2268- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
2269- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
2270- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
2271- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
2272- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
2273- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
2274- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
2275
2276## 2.1.160
2277
2278- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
2279- `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.)
2280- 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
2281- 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
2282- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
2283- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
2284- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
2285- 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
2286- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
2287- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
2288- 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
2289- 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
2290- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
2291- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
2292- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
2293- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
2294- 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
2295- 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
2296- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
2297- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
2298- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
2299- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
2300- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
2301- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
2302- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
2303- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
2304- 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
2305
2306## 2.1.159
2307
2308- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
2309
2310## 2.1.158
2311
2312- 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`
2313
2314## 2.1.157
2315
2316- Plugins in `.claude/skills` directories are now automatically loaded, no marketplace required
2317- Added `claude plugin init <name>` to scaffold a new plugin in `.claude/skills`
2318- Added autocomplete for `/plugin` arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
2319- `claude agents`: the `agent` field in `settings.json` is now honored for dispatched sessions, with `--agent <name>` to override it
2320- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
2321- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
2322- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
2323- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
2324- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
2325- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell
2326- Fixed `claude agents` pressing Esc not cancelling a slow "opening…", leaving the list unresponsive
2327- Fixed background agent worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
2328- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
2329- Fixed copy-on-select in `claude agents` not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with `set-clipboard on` (regression in 2.1.153)
2330- Fixed `--resume` not reporting background subagents that were running when the previous Claude Code process exited
2331- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
2332- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
2333- 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
2334- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
2335- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup
2336- Fixed a rare duplicate line appearing in scrollback after the terminal UI redraws
2337- Fixed right-click paste duplicating the clipboard in the VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf integrated terminals
2338- WSL: fixed image paste (`alt+v` keybinding), screenshot paste on Windows 11, and added support for dragging images from Windows Explorer
2339- Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
2340- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
2341- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
2342- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
2343- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
2344- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
2345- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
2346- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
2347- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
2348- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
2349
2350## 2.1.156
2351
2352- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
2353
2354## 2.1.154
2355
2356- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
2357- 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
2358- 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
2359- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
2360- 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
2361- `/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
2362- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
2363- `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>'`
2364- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
2365- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
2366- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
2367- 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
2368- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
2369- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
2370- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
2371- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
2372- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
2373- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
2374- 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`
2375- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
2376- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
2377- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
2378- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
2379- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
2380- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
2381- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
2382- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
2383- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
2384- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
2385- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
2386- 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
2387- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
2388- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
2389- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
2390- 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
2391- 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
2392- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
2393- 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
2394- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
2395- [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
2396- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
2397- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
2398- 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
2399- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
2400
2401## 2.1.153
2402
2403- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
2404- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
2405- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
2406- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
2407- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
2408- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
2409- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
2410- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
2411- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
2412- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
2413- 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
2414- `--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
2415- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
2416- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
2417- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
2418- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
2419- 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
2420- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
2421- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
2422- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
2423- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
2424- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
2425- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
2426- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
2427- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
2428- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
2429- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
2430- 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
2431- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
2432- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
2433- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
2434- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
2435- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
2436- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
2437- `/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.
2438- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
2439
2440## 2.1.152
2441
2442- `/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`
2443- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
2444- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
2445- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
2446- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
2447- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
2448- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
2449- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
2450- 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
2451- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
2452- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
2453- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
2454- 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)
2455- 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
2456- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
2457- 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
2458- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
2459- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
2460- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
2461- 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
2462- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
2463- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
2464- 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
2465- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
2466- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
2467- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
2468- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
2469- 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
2470- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
2471- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
2472- 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
2473- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
2474- 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
2475
2476## 2.1.150
2477
2478- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
2479
2480## 2.1.149
2481
2482- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
2483- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
2484- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
2485- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
2486- 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
2487- 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)
2488- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
2489- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
2490- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
2491- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
2492- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
2493- Fixed `otelHeadersHelper` failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in `/doctor` and the debug log
2494- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
2495- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
2496- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
2497- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
2498- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
2499- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
2500- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
2501- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
2502- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
2503- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
2504- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
2505- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
2506- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
2507- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
2508
2509## 2.1.148
2510
2511- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
2512
2513## 2.1.147
2514
2515- 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
2516- 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
2517- 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
2518- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
2519- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
2520- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
2521- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
2522- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
2523- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
2524- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
2525- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
2526- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
2527- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
2528- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
2529- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
2530- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
2531- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
2532- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
2533- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
2534- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
2535- 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
2536- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
2537- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
2538- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
2539- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
2540- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
2541- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
2542- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
2543- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
2544- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
2545- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
2546- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
2547- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
2548
2549## 2.1.145
2550
2551- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
2552- 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
2553- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
2554- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
2555- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
2556- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
2557- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
2558- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
2559- 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
2560- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
2561- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
2562- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
2563- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
2564- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
2565- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
2566- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
2567- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
2568- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
2569- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
2570- 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
2571
2572## 2.1.144
2573
2574- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
2575- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
2576- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
2577- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
2578- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
2579- 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
2580- 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
2581- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
2582- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
2583- 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)
2584- 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
2585- 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
2586- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
2587- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
2588- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
2589- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
2590- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
2591- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
2592- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
2593- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
2594- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
2595- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
2596- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
2597- 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
2598- 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
2599- 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
2600- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
2601- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
2602- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
2603- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
2604- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
2605- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
2606- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
2607- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
2608- 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
2609- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
2610- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
2611- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
2612- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
2613- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
2614- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
2615- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
2616- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
2617- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
2618- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
2619- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
2620- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
2621- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
2622- 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)
2623- 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.
2624
2625## 2.1.143
2626
2627- 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
2628- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
2629- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
2630- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
2631- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
2632- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
2633- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
2634- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
2635- 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`)
2636- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
2637- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
2638- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
2639- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
2640- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
2641- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
2642- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
2643- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
2644- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
2645- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
2646- 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`.
2647- `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
2648- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
2649- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
2650- 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`
2651- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
2652- 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.
2653- `/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.
2654- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
2655- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
2656- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
2657- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
2658- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
2659- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
2660
2661## 2.1.142
2662
2663- 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
2664- 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
2665- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
2666- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
2667- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
2668- 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
2669- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
2670- 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
2671- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
2672- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
2673- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
2674- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
2675- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
2676- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
2677- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake

2682- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
2683- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
2684- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
2685- 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
2686- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
2687
2688## 2.1.141
2689
2690- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
2691- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
2692- 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

2694- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
2695- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
2696- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
2697- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
2698- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
2699- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
2700- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
2701- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
2702- 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
2703- 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
2704- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
2705- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
2706- 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
2707- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
2708- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool

2723- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
2724- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
2725- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
2726- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
2727- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish

2729- Fixed `/mcp` server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
2730- Fixed redaction in `/feedback` bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs

2733- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
2734- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
2735- 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
2736- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
2737- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
2738- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
2739- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
2740- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
2741- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
2742- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
2743- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
2744- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
2745- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
2746- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
2747- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
2748- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
2749- `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
2750- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
2751
2752## 2.1.140
2753
2754- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
2755- Updated agent color palette
2756- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
2757- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
2758- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
2759- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time

2764- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
2765- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
2766- 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`.
2767
2768## 2.1.139
2769
2770- 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
2771- 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
2772- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
2773- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
2774- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
2775- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
2776- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
2777- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
2778- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
2779- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails

2784- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
2785- 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
2786- 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
2787- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
2788- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
2789- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
2790- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
2791- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
2792- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
2793- Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
2794- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
2795- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
2796- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
2797- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
2798- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
2799- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
2800- Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one

2802- Fixed model picker showing a redundant "Current model" row for third-party users whose model is set to the `opus` alias
2803- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
2804- 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
2805- Fixed scroll behavior in Windows Terminal and VS Code when attached to background sessions
2806- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
2807- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one

2834- Fixed a rare login loop where a concurrent credential write could overwrite a freshly-rotated OAuth token and force re-login
2835- Fixed MCP OAuth refresh tokens being lost when multiple servers refresh concurrently — users with several remote MCP servers should no longer need daily re-authentication

2839- WSL2: image paste from Windows clipboard now works via a PowerShell fallback when xclip/wl-paste cannot read image data
2840- Fixed plugin `Stop`/`UserPromptSubmit` hooks failing when cache cleanup deletes a version still in use by a running session
2841- 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
2842- Fixed colors appearing at wrong positions in bash command output and markdown code blocks
2843- Fixed ReasonML diffs rendering corrupted "undefined" text artifacts at word-diff boundaries
2844- Fixed worktree exit dialog warning about uncommitted files in the wrong directory after worktree removal

2852- Fixed a renderer crash when a tool's collapsibility classification changes mid-session
2853- Fixed a `skills` entry in `plugin.json` hiding the plugin's default `skills/` directory, and listing a file path now shows an error instead of failing silently
2854- Fixed IDE shell-integration lock files not respecting `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`
2855- Fixed trailing whitespace in copied terminal output during streaming
2856- Fixed plugin uninstall and enable/disable not matching slugs case-insensitively

2880- Fixed MCP tool results being invisible when the server returns content blocks
2881- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
2882- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
2883
2884## 2.1.133
2885
2886- 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
2887- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
2888- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
2889- 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`

2895- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
2896- 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
2897- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
2898- 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
2899- 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
2900- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
2901- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`

2903
2904## 2.1.132
2905
2906- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` environment variable to the Bash tool subprocess environment, matching the `session_id` passed to hooks
2907- 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
2908- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
2909- 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
2910- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
2911- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
2912- 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
2913- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
2914- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
2915- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters
2916- Fixed pasting text starting with `/` silently swallowing the input or triggering an unknown-command reply
2917- Fixed pasting dumping stray escape sequences into the prompt when focus events or mouse-tracking reports interleave with the bracketed paste
2918- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling being too fast in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 due to an upstream xterm.js bug
2919- Fixed scroll-wheel handling in JetBrains IDE 2025.2 terminals (spurious arrow keys, wrong-direction events, runaway acceleration)
2920- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
2921- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there
2922- Fixed `/effort` picker not reflecting the `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` env var override
2923- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
2924- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height
2925- Fixed statusline `context_window` token counts reflecting cumulative session totals instead of current context usage
2926- Fixed Alt+T (thinking toggle) not working on macOS terminals without "Option as Meta" enabled (iTerm2, Terminal.app defaults)
2927- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
2928- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
2929- 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`
2930- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
2931- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
2932- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)

2934
2935## 2.1.131

2939
2940## 2.1.129
2941
2942- Added `--plugin-url <url>` flag to fetch a plugin `.zip` archive from a URL for the current session
2943- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs `eat`)
2944- 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
2945- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
2946- 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)
2947- 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
2948- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
2949- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description

2977- 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
2978- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
2979- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
2980- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
2981- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped

2991- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
2992- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
2993- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
2994- 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
2995- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
2996- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
2997- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"

3006- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
3007- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
3008- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
3009
3010## 2.1.126

3014- `--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)
3015- `claude auth login` now accepts the OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers)
3016- `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"`)

3022- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
3023- 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
3024- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin

3035- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn
3036- Fixed plan-mode tools being unavailable in interactive sessions launched with `--channels`

3040- Fixed Remote Control failure notification not showing the error reason for initial connection failures
3041- 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
3042- PowerShell tool: bare `--` (e.g. `git diff -- file`) is no longer mis-flagged as the `--%` stop-parsing token
3043- Fixed Agent SDK hang when the model emits a malformed tool name in a parallel tool call batch

3227
3228## 2.1.117
3229
3230- Forked subagents can now be enabled on external builds by setting `CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1`
3231- Agent frontmatter `mcpServers` are now loaded for main-thread agent sessions via `--agent`
3232- Improved `/model`: selections now persist across restarts even when the project pins a different model, and the startup header shows when the active model comes from a project or managed-settings pin
3233- The `/resume` command now offers to summarize stale, large sessions before re-reading them, matching the existing `--resume` behavior
3234- Faster startup when both local and claude.ai MCP servers are configured (concurrent connect now default)
3235- `plugin install` on an already-installed plugin now installs any missing dependencies instead of stopping at "already installed"
3236- Plugin dependency errors now say "not installed" with an install hint, and `claude plugin marketplace add` now auto-resolves missing dependencies from configured marketplaces
3237- Managed-settings `blockedMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces` are now enforced on plugin install, update, refresh, and autoupdate
3238- Advisor Tool (experimental): dialog now carries an "experimental" label, learn-more link, and startup notification when enabled; sessions no longer get stuck with "Advisor tool result content could not be processed" errors on every prompt and `/compact`
3239- The `cleanupPeriodDays` retention sweep now also covers `~/.claude/tasks/`, `~/.claude/shell-snapshots/`, and `~/.claude/backups/`
3240- OpenTelemetry: `user_prompt` events now include `command_name` and `command_source` for slash commands; `cost.usage`, `token.usage`, `api_request`, and `api_error` now include an `effort` attribute when the model supports effort levels. Custom/MCP command names are redacted unless `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` is set
3241- 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)
3242- Windows: cached `where.exe` executable lookups per process for faster subprocess launches
3243- Default effort for Pro/Max subscribers on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 is now `high` (was `medium`)
3244- Fixed Plain-CLI OAuth sessions dying with "Please run /login" when the access token expires mid-session — the token is now refreshed reactively on 401
3245- Fixed `WebFetch` hanging on very large HTML pages by truncating input before HTML-to-markdown conversion
3246- Fixed a crash when a proxy returns HTTP 204 No Content — now surfaces a clear error instead of a `TypeError`
3247- Fixed `/login` having no effect when launched with `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` env var and that token expires
3248- Fixed prompt-input undo (`Ctrl+_`) doing nothing immediately after typing, and skipping a state on each undo step
3249- Fixed `NO_PROXY` not being respected for remote API requests when running under Bun
3250- Fixed rare spurious escape/return triggers when key names arrive as coalesced text over slow connections
3251- Fixed SDK `reload_plugins` reconnecting all user MCP servers serially
3252- Fixed Bedrock application-inference-profile requests failing with 400 when backed by Opus 4.7 with thinking disabled
3253- Fixed MCP `elicitation/create` requests auto-cancelling in print/SDK mode when the server finishes connecting mid-turn
3254- Fixed subagents running a different model than the main agent incorrectly flagging file reads with a malware warning
3255- Fixed idle re-render loop when background tasks are present, reducing memory growth on Linux
3256- [VSCode] Fixed "Manage Plugins" panel breaking when multiple large marketplaces are configured
3257- 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
3258
3259## 2.1.116
3260
3261- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
3262- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; `resources/templates/list` is now deferred to first `@`-mention
3263- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — `/terminal-setup` now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity
3264- Thinking spinner now shows progress inline ("still thinking", "thinking more", "almost done thinking"), replacing the separate hint row
3265- `/config` search now matches option values (e.g. searching "vim" finds the Editor mode setting)
3266- `/doctor` can now be opened while Claude is responding, without waiting for the current turn to finish
3267- `/reload-plugins` and background plugin auto-update now auto-install missing plugin dependencies from marketplaces you've already added
3268- Bash tool now surfaces a hint when `gh` commands hit GitHub's API rate limit, so agents can back off instead of retrying
3269- The Usage tab in Settings now shows your 5-hour and weekly usage immediately and no longer fails when the usage endpoint is rate-limited
3270- Agent frontmatter `hooks:` now fire when running as a main-thread agent via `--agent`
3271- Slash command menu now shows "No commands match" when your filter has zero results, instead of disappearing
3272- Security: sandbox auto-allow no longer bypasses the dangerous-path safety check for `rm`/`rmdir` targeting `/`, `$HOME`, or other critical system directories
3273- 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`
3274- Fixed Devanagari and other Indic scripts rendering with broken column alignment in the terminal UI
3275- Fixed Ctrl+- not triggering undo in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (iTerm2, Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, Windows Terminal)
3276- Fixed Cmd+Left/Right not jumping to line start/end in terminals that use the Kitty keyboard protocol (Warp fullscreen, kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm)
3277- Fixed Ctrl+Z hanging the terminal when Claude Code is launched via a wrapper process (e.g. `npx`, `bun run`)
3278- Fixed scrollback duplication in inline mode where resizing the terminal or large output bursts would repeat earlier conversation history
3279- Fixed modal search dialogs overflowing the screen at short terminal heights, hiding the search box and keyboard hints
3280- Fixed scattered blank cells and disappearing composer chrome in the VS Code integrated terminal during scrolling
3281- Fixed an intermittent API 400 error related to cache control TTL ordering that could occur when a parallel request completed during request setup
3282- Fixed `/branch` rejecting conversations with transcripts larger than 50MB
3283- Fixed `/resume` silently showing an empty conversation on large session files instead of reporting the load error
3284- Fixed `/plugin` Installed tab showing the same item twice when it appears under Needs attention or Favorites
3285- Fixed `/update` and `/tui` not working after entering a worktree mid-session
3286
3287## 2.1.114

3289- Fixed a crash in the permission dialog when an agent teams teammate requested tool permission
3290
3291## 2.1.113
3292
3293- Changed the CLI to spawn a native Claude Code binary (via a per-platform optional dependency) instead of bundled JavaScript
3294- Added `sandbox.network.deniedDomains` setting to block specific domains even when a broader `allowedDomains` wildcard would otherwise permit them
3295- Fullscreen mode: Shift+↑/↓ now scrolls the viewport when extending a selection past the visible edge
3296- `Ctrl+A` and `Ctrl+E` now move to the start/end of the current logical line in multiline input, matching readline behavior
3297- Windows: `Ctrl+Backspace` now deletes the previous word
3298- Long URLs in responses and bash output stay clickable when they wrap across lines (in terminals with OSC 8 hyperlinks)
3299- Improved `/loop`: pressing Esc now cancels pending wakeups, and wakeups display as "Claude resuming /loop wakeup" for clarity
3300- `/extra-usage` now works from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients
3301- Remote Control clients can now query `@`-file autocomplete suggestions
3302- Improved `/ultrareview`: faster launch with parallelized checks, diffstat in the launch dialog, and animated launching state
3303- Subagents that stall mid-stream now fail with a clear error after 10 minutes instead of hanging silently
3304- Bash tool: multi-line commands whose first line is a comment now show the full command in the transcript, closing a UI-spoofing vector
3305- Running `cd <current-directory> && git …` no longer triggers a permission prompt when the `cd` is a no-op
3306- Security: on macOS, `/private/{etc,var,tmp,home}` paths are now treated as dangerous removal targets under `Bash(rm:*)` allow rules
3307- Security: Bash deny rules now match commands wrapped in `env`/`sudo`/`watch`/`ionice`/`setsid` and similar exec wrappers
3308- Security: `Bash(find:*)` allow rules no longer auto-approve `find -exec`/`-delete`
3309- Fixed MCP concurrent-call timeout handling where a message for one tool call could silently disarm another call's watchdog
3310- Fixed Cmd-backspace / `Ctrl+U` to once again delete from the cursor to the start of the line
3311- Fixed markdown tables breaking when a cell contains an inline code span with a pipe character
3312- Fixed session recap auto-firing while composing unsent text in the prompt
3313- Fixed `/copy` "Full response" not aligning markdown table columns for pasting into GitHub, Notion, or Slack

3318- Fixed `/insights` crashing with `EBUSY` on Windows
3319- Fixed exit confirmation dialog mislabeling one-shot scheduled tasks as recurring — now shows a countdown
3320- Fixed slash/@ completion menu not sitting flush against the prompt border in fullscreen mode
3321- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` `output_config.effort` causing 400 errors on subagent calls to models that don't support effort and on Vertex AI
3322- Fixed prompt cursor disappearing when `NO_COLOR` is set
3323- Fixed `ToolSearch` ranking so pasted MCP tool names surface the actual tool instead of description-matching siblings
3324- Fixed compacting a resumed long-context session failing with "Extra usage is required for long context requests"
3325- Fixed `plugin install` succeeding when a dependency version conflicts with an already-installed plugin — now reports `range-conflict`
3326- Fixed "Refine with Ultraplan" not showing the remote session URL in the transcript
3327- Fixed SDK image content blocks that fail to process crashing the session — now degrade to a text placeholder
3328- Fixed Remote Control sessions not streaming subagent transcripts

3339- Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7
3340- Added `xhigh` effort level for Opus 4.7, sitting between `high` and `max`. Available via `/effort`, `--effort`, and the model picker; other models fall back to `high`
3341- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
3342- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`
3343- Added `/less-permission-prompts` skill — scans transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls and proposes a prioritized allowlist for `.claude/settings.json`
3344- Added `/ultrareview` for running comprehensive code review in the cloud using parallel multi-agent analysis and critique — invoke with no arguments to review your current branch, or `/ultrareview <PR#>` to fetch and review a specific GitHub PR
3345- Auto mode no longer requires `--enable-auto-mode`
3346- Windows: PowerShell tool is progressively rolling out. Opt in or out with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL`. On Linux and macOS, enable with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=1` (requires `pwsh` on PATH)
3347- Read-only bash commands with glob patterns (e.g. `ls *.ts`) and commands starting with `cd <project-dir> &&` no longer trigger a permission prompt
3348- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
3349- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
3350- 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
3351- `/skills` menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` to toggle
3352- `Ctrl+U` now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press `Ctrl+Y` to restore
3353- `Ctrl+L` now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing the prompt input
3354- Transcript view footer now shows `[` (dump to scrollback) and `v` (open in editor) shortcuts
3355- The "+N lines" marker for truncated long pastes is now a full-width rule for easier scanning
3356- Headless `--output-format stream-json` now includes `plugin_errors` on the init event when plugins are demoted for unsatisfied dependencies

3358- Suppressed spurious decompression, network, and transient error messages that could appear in the TUI during normal operation
3359- Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries — it traded long waits for more outright failures during API overload
3360- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
3361- Fixed `@` file suggestions re-scanning the entire project on every turn in non-git working directories, and showing only config files in freshly-initialized git repos with no tracked files
3362- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
3363- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
3364- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
3365- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
3366- Improved plugin error handling: dependency errors now distinguish conflicting, invalid, and overly complex version requirements; fixed stale resolved versions after `plugin update`; `plugin install` now recovers from interrupted prior installs
3367- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command
3368- Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers)
3369- Fixed feedback surveys appearing back-to-back after dismissing one
3370- Fixed bare URLs in bash/PowerShell/MCP tool output being unclickable when the terminal wraps them across lines
3371- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
3372- 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
3373
3374## 2.1.110
3375
3376- Added `/tui` command and `tui` setting — run `/tui fullscreen` to switch to flicker-free rendering in the same conversation
3377- Added push notification tool — Claude can send mobile push notifications when Remote Control and "Push when Claude decides" config are enabled

3382- Improved `/doctor` to warn when an MCP server is defined in multiple config scopes with different endpoints
3383- `--resume`/`--continue` now resurrects unexpired scheduled tasks
3384- `/context`, `/exit`, and `/reload-plugins` now work from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients

3387- SDK/headless sessions now read `TRACEPARENT`/`TRACESTATE` from the environment for distributed trace linking
3388- Session recap is now enabled for users with telemetry disabled (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, `DISABLE_TELEMETRY`). Opt out via `/config` or `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY=0`.
3389- Fixed MCP tool calls hanging indefinitely when the server connection drops mid-response on SSE/HTTP transports
3390- Fixed non-streaming fallback retries causing multi-minute hangs when the API is unreachable

3400- Hardened "Open in editor" actions against command injection from untrusted filenames
3401- Fixed `PermissionRequest` hooks returning `updatedInput` not being re-checked against `permissions.deny` rules; `setMode:'bypassPermissions'` updates now respect `disableBypassPermissionsMode`
3402- Fixed `PreToolUse` hook `additionalContext` being dropped when the tool call fails
3403- Fixed stdio MCP servers that print stray non-JSON lines to stdout being disconnected on the first stray line (regression in 2.1.105)

3413
3414## 2.1.108
3415
3416- Added `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` env var to opt into 1-hour prompt cache TTL on API key, Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry (`ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H_BEDROCK` is deprecated but still honored), and `FORCE_PROMPT_CACHING_5M` to force 5-minute TTL
3417- Added recap feature to provide context when returning to a session, configurable in `/config` and manually invocable with `/recap`; force with `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY` if telemetry disabled.

3419- `/undo` is now an alias for `/rewind`
3420- Improved `/model` to warn before switching models mid-conversation, since the next response re-reads the full history uncached
3421- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
3422- 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
3423- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand
3424- Added "verbose" indicator when viewing the detailed transcript (`Ctrl+O`)
3425- Added a warning at startup when prompt caching is disabled via `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING*` environment variables

3431- Fixed session titles showing placeholder example text when the first message is a short greeting
3432- Fixed terminal escape codes appearing as garbage text in the prompt input after `--teleport`
3433- Fixed `/feedback` retry: pressing Enter to resubmit after a failure now works without first editing the description
3434- Fixed `--teleport` and `--resume <id>` precondition errors (e.g. dirty git tree, session not found) exiting silently instead of showing the error message
3435- Fixed Remote Control session titles set in the web UI being overwritten by auto-generated titles after the third message
3436- Fixed `--resume` truncating sessions when the transcript contained a self-referencing message
3437- Fixed transcript write failures (e.g., disk full) being silently dropped instead of being logged

3446
3447- Added `path` parameter to the `EnterWorktree` tool to switch into an existing worktree of the current repository
3448- Added PreCompact hook support: hooks can now block compaction by exiting with code 2 or returning `{"decision":"block"}`
3449- Added background monitor support for plugins via a top-level `monitors` manifest key that auto-arms at session start or on skill invoke
3450- `/proactive` is now an alias for `/loop`
3451- Improved stalled API stream handling: streams now abort after 5 minutes of no data and retry non-streaming instead of hanging indefinitely
3452- Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
3453- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
3454- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
3455- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
3456- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
3457- 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
3458- Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely
3459- Improved MCP large-output truncation prompt to give format-specific recipes (e.g. `jq` for JSON, computed Read chunk sizes for text)

3486
3487- Added `/team-onboarding` command to generate a teammate ramp-up guide from your local Claude Code usage

3489- `/ultraplan` and other remote-session features now auto-create a default cloud environment instead of requiring web setup first
3490- Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message
3491- Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
3492- 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

3519- Fixed `/btw` writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use
3520- Fixed `/context` Free space and Messages breakdown disagreeing with the header percentage
3521- 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
3522- 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
3523- Fixed `ctrl+]`, `ctrl+\`, and `ctrl+^` keybindings not firing in terminals that send raw C0 control bytes (Terminal.app, default iTerm2, xterm)
3524- Fixed `/login` OAuth URL rendering with padding that prevented clean mouse selection
3525- Fixed rendering issues: flicker in non-fullscreen mode when content above the visible area changed, terminal scrollback being wiped during long sessions in non-fullscreen mode, and mouse-scroll escape sequences occasionally leaking into the prompt as text
3526- Fixed crash when `settings.json` env values are numbers instead of strings

3531- Fixed `/insights` sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
3532- [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed

3951- Faster `claude -p` startup with unauthenticated HTTP/SSE MCP servers (~600ms saved)
3952- Bash ghost-text suggestions now include just-submitted commands immediately
3953- Increased non-streaming fallback token cap (21k → 64k) and timeout (120s → 300s local) so fallback requests are less likely to be truncated

3962- Claude can now reference the on-disk path of clipboard-pasted images for file operations
3963- `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.

3979
3980## 2.1.81
3981
3982- Added `--bare` flag for scripted `-p` calls — skips hooks, LSP, plugin sync, and skill directory walks; requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or an `apiKeyHelper` via `--settings` (OAuth and keychain auth disabled); auto-memory fully disabled

4053- Added `StopFailure` hook event that fires when the turn ends due to an API error (rate limit, auth failure, etc.)
4054- Added `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}` variable for plugin persistent state that survives plugin updates; `/plugin uninstall` prompts before deleting it
4055- Added `effort`, `maxTurns`, and `disallowedTools` frontmatter support for plugin-shipped agents

4060- Fixed infinite loop when API errors triggered stop hooks that re-fed blocking errors to the model
4061- Fixed `deny: ["mcp__servername"]` permission rules not removing MCP server tools before sending to the model, allowing it to see and attempt blocked tools
4062- Fixed `sandbox.filesystem.allowWrite` not working with absolute paths (previously required `//` prefix)
4063- Fixed `/sandbox` Dependencies tab showing Linux prerequisites on macOS instead of macOS-specific info
4064- **Security:** Fixed silent sandbox disable when `sandbox.enabled: true` is set but dependencies are missing — now shows a visible startup warning

4079
4080## 2.1.77
4081
4082- Increased default maximum output token limits for Claude Opus 4.6 to 64k tokens, and the upper bound for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 models to 128k tokens
4083- Added `allowRead` sandbox filesystem setting to re-allow read access within `denyRead` regions
4084- `/copy` now accepts an optional index: `/copy N` copies the Nth-latest assistant response
4085- Fixed "Always Allow" on compound bash commands (e.g. `cd src && npm test`) saving a single rule for the full string instead of per-subcommand, leading to dead rules and repeated permission prompts
4086- Fixed auto-updater starting overlapping binary downloads when the slash-command overlay repeatedly opened and closed, accumulating tens of gigabytes of memory
4087- Fixed `--resume` silently truncating recent conversation history due to a race between memory-extraction writes and the main transcript

4115- Improved Esc to abort in-flight non-streaming API requests
4116- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check skill, agent, and command frontmatter plus `hooks/hooks.json`, catching YAML parse errors and schema violations
4117- Background bash tasks are now killed if output exceeds 5GB, preventing runaway processes from filling disk
4118- Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
4119- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
4120- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
4121- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
4122- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
4123- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)
4124- [VSCode] Improved plan preview tab titles to use the plan's heading instead of "Claude's Plan"
4125- [VSCode] When option+click doesn't trigger native selection on macOS, the footer now points to the `macOptionClickForcesSelection` setting

4150- Fixed transcript not auto-scrolling to new messages after selecting text
4151- Fixed Escape key not working to exit the login method selection screen

4153- Fixed bridge sessions failing to recover after extended WebSocket disconnects
4154- Fixed slash commands not found when typing the exact name of a soft-hidden command
4155- Improved `--worktree` startup performance by reading git refs directly and skipping redundant `git fetch` when the remote branch is already available locally
4156- Improved background agent behavior — killing a background agent now preserves its partial results in the conversation context
4157- Improved model fallback notifications — now always visible instead of hidden behind verbose mode, with human-friendly model names
4158- Improved blockquote readability on dark terminal themes — text is now italic with a left bar instead of dim
4159- Improved stale worktree cleanup — worktrees left behind after an interrupted parallel run are now automatically cleaned up
4160- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
4161- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input
4162- Updated `--plugin-dir` to only accept one path to support subcommands — use repeated `--plugin-dir` for multiple directories

4164
4165## 2.1.75

4190- Added `autoMemoryDirectory` setting to configure a custom directory for auto-memory storage
4191- Fixed memory leak where streaming API response buffers were not released when the generator was terminated early, causing unbounded RSS growth on the Node.js/npm code path
4192- Fixed managed policy `ask` rules being bypassed by user `allow` rules or skill `allowed-tools`
4193- 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`
4194- Fixed MCP OAuth authentication hanging when the callback port is already in use
4195- 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)
4196- 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
4197- Fixed `SessionEnd` hooks being killed after 1.5 s on exit regardless of `hook.timeout` — now configurable via `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS`
4198- Fixed `/plugin install` failing inside the REPL for marketplace plugins with local sources
4199- Fixed marketplace update not syncing git submodules — plugin sources in submodules no longer break after update

4205- [VSCode] Improved scroll wheel responsiveness in the integrated terminal with terminal-aware acceleration
4206
4207## 2.1.73
4208
4209- Added `modelOverrides` setting to map model picker entries to custom provider model IDs (e.g. Bedrock inference profile ARNs)
4210- Added actionable guidance when OAuth login or connectivity checks fail due to SSL certificate errors (corporate proxies, `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`)
4211- Fixed freezes and 100% CPU loops triggered by permission prompts for complex bash commands
4212- Fixed a deadlock that could freeze Claude Code when many skill files changed at once (e.g. during `git pull` in a repo with a large `.claude/skills/` directory)
4213- Fixed Bash tool output being lost when running multiple Claude Code sessions in the same project directory
4214- Fixed subagents with `model: opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` being silently downgraded to older model versions on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry

4227- Improved IDE detection speed at startup
4228- Improved clipboard image pasting performance on macOS
4229- Improved `/effort` to work while Claude is responding, matching `/model` behavior
4230- Improved voice mode to automatically retry transient connection failures during rapid push-to-talk re-press
4231- Improved the Remote Control spawn mode selection prompt with better context
4232- Changed default Opus model on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry to Opus 4.6 (was Opus 4.1)
4233- Deprecated `/output-style` command — use `/config` instead. Output style is now fixed at session start for better prompt caching
4234- VSCode: Fixed HTTP 400 errors for users behind proxies or on Bedrock/Vertex with Claude 4.5 models
4235
4236## 2.1.72
4237
4238- Fixed tool search to activate even with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` as long as `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` is set.
4239- Added `w` key in `/copy` to write the focused selection directly to a file, bypassing the clipboard (useful over SSH)

4241- Added `ExitWorktree` tool to leave an `EnterWorktree` session
4242- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` environment variable to immediately stop scheduled cron jobs mid-session
4243- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
4244- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
4245- 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
4246- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
4247- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
4248- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)
4249- Improved bash command parsing by switching to a native module — faster initialization and no memory leak
4250- Reduced bundle size by ~510 KB
4251- Changed CLAUDE.md HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) to be hidden from Claude when auto-injected. Comments remain visible when read with the Read tool
4252- Fixed slow exits when background tasks or hooks were slow to respond
4253- Fixed agent task progress stuck on "Initializing…"
4254- Fixed skill hooks firing twice per event when a hooks-enabled skill is invoked by the model

4258- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
4259- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
4260- 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
4261- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions

4266- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
4267- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
4268- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
4269- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
4270- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
4271- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query

4276- Fixed session crashes in Desktop/SDK when Read returned files containing U+2028/U+2029 characters
4277- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
4278- 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
4279- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
4280- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
4281- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs
4282- Fixed multi-line session titles when forking from a conversation whose first message contained newlines
4283- Fixed queued messages not showing attached images, and images being lost when pressing ↑ to edit a queued message
4284- Fixed parallel tool calls where a failed Read/WebFetch/Glob would cancel its siblings — only Bash errors now cascade
4285- VSCode: Fixed scroll speed in integrated terminals not matching native terminals
4286- VSCode: Fixed Shift+Enter submitting input instead of inserting a newline for users with older keybindings
4287- VSCode: Added effort level indicator on the input border

4291
4292- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
4293- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
4294- 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
4295- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
4296- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
4297- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
4298- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
4299- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other
4300- Fixed the Read tool putting oversized images into context when image processing failed, breaking subsequent turns in long image-heavy sessions
4301- Fixed false-positive permission prompts for compound bash commands containing heredoc commit messages
4302- Fixed plugin installations being lost when running multiple Claude Code instances
4303- Fixed claude.ai connectors failing to reconnect after OAuth token refresh
4304- Fixed claude.ai MCP connector startup notifications appearing for every org-configured connector instead of only previously connected ones

4306- Fixed duplicate output in Bash tool error messages when commands exit with non-zero status
4307- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
4308- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref
4309- Fixed `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo@ref` incorrectly parsing `@` — previously only `#` worked as a ref separator, causing undiagnosable errors with `strictKnownMarketplaces`
4310- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
4311- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
4312- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
4313- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
4314- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
4315- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
4316- 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
4317- 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.
4318- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
4319- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
4320
4321## 2.1.70
4322
4323- 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
4324- 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
4325- 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
4326- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
4327- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
4328- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`

4335- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
4336- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
4337- 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
4338- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
4339- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
4340- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
4341- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
4342- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
4343- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
4344- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
4345- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
4346- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
4347- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
4348- 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.
4349- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
4350- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
4351- [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
4352
4353## 2.1.69
4354
4355- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
4356- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
4357- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
4358- 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
4359- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
4360- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
4361- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
4362- 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`
4363- 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
4364- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
4365- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
4366- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
4367- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
4368- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
4369- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
4370- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
4371- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
4372- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
4373- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
4374- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
4375- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
4376- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
4377- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
4378- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
4379- 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.
4380- 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)
4381- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
4382- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
4383- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
4384- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
4385- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
4386- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
4387- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
4388- 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)
4389- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
4390- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
4391- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
4392- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
4393- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
4394- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch

4398- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
4399- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
4400- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
4401- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
4402- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
4403- 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
4404- 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
4405- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
4406- 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.
4407- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
4408- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
4409- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
4410- 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
4411- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
4412- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
4413- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
4414- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
4415- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
4416- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
4417- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
4418- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
4419- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
4420- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior
4421- Fixed `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` plugin hooks being silently ignored
4422- Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
4423- Fixed project skills without a `description:` frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
4424- Fixed `/context` showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
4425- Fixed literal `nul` file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style `2>nul` redirection in Git Bash
4426- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
4427- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
4428- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
4429- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
4430- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
4431- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
4432- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
4433- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
4434- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
4435- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
4436- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
4437- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
4438- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
4439- 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.
4440- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
4441- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
4442- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
4443- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
4444- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
4445- Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
4446- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
4447- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
4448- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
4449- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
4450- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
4451- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
4452- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
4453- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
4454- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
4455- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
4456- [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
4457- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
4458
4459## 2.1.68
4460
4461- 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`
4462- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
4463- 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
4464
4465## 2.1.66
4466
4467- Reduced spurious error logging
4468
4469## 2.1.63

4471- Added `/simplify` and `/batch` bundled slash commands
4472- Fixed local slash command output like /cost appearing as user-sent messages instead of system messages in the UI
4473- Project configs & auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
4474- Added `ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false` env var to opt out from making claude.ai MCP servers available
4475- Improved `/model` command to show the currently active model in the slash command menu
4476- Added HTTP hooks, which can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON instead of running a shell command
4477- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
4478- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
4479- 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.
4480- Fixed memory leak when navigating hooks configuration menu
4481- Fixed listener leak in interactive permission handler during auto-approvals
4482- Fixed file count cache ignoring glob ignore patterns
4483- Fixed memory leak in bash command prefix cache
4484- Fixed MCP tool/resource cache leak on server reconnect
4485- Fixed IDE host IP detection cache incorrectly sharing results across ports
4486- Fixed WebSocket listener leak on transport reconnect
4487- Fixed memory leak in git root detection cache that could cause unbounded growth in long-running sessions
4488- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache that grew unbounded over long sessions
4489- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
4490- 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.
4491- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
4492- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
4493- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
4494- 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.
4495- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
4496- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
4497
4498## 2.1.62
4499
4500- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
4501
4502## 2.1.61
4503
4504- Fixed concurrent writes corrupting config file on Windows
4505
4506## 2.1.59
4507
4508- Claude automatically saves useful context to auto-memory. Manage with /memory
4509- Added `/copy` command to show an interactive picker when code blocks are present, allowing selection of individual code blocks or the full response.
4510- Improved "always allow" prefix suggestions for compound bash commands (e.g. `cd /tmp && git fetch && git push`) to compute smarter per-subcommand prefixes instead of treating the whole command as one
4511- Improved ordering of short task lists
4512- Improved memory usage in multi-agent sessions by releasing completed subagent task state
4513- Fixed MCP OAuth token refresh race condition when running multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously
4514- Fixed shell commands not showing a clear error message when the working directory has been deleted
4515- Fixed config file corruption that could wipe authentication when multiple Claude Code instances ran simultaneously
4516
4517## 2.1.58
4518
4519- Expand Remote Control to more users
4520
4521## 2.1.56
4522
4523- VS Code: Fixed another cause of "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found" crashes
4524
4525## 2.1.55
4526
4527- Fixed BashTool failing on Windows with EINVAL error
4528
4529## 2.1.53
4530
4531- Fixed a UI flicker where user input would briefly disappear after submission before the message rendered
4532- Fixed bulk agent kill (ctrl+f) to send a single aggregate notification instead of one per agent, and to properly clear the command queue
4533- Fixed graceful shutdown sometimes leaving stale sessions when using Remote Control by parallelizing teardown network calls
4534- Fixed `--worktree` sometimes being ignored on first launch
4535- Fixed a panic ("switch on corrupted value") on Windows
4536- Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning many processes on Windows
4537- Fixed a crash in the WebAssembly interpreter on Linux x64 & Windows x64
4538- Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred after 2 minutes on Windows ARM64
4539
4540## 2.1.52
4541
4542- VS Code: Fixed extension crash on Windows ("command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found")
4543
4544## 2.1.51
4545
4546- Added `claude remote-control` subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.
4547- Updated plugin marketplace default git timeout from 30s to 120s and added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS` to configure.
4548- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
4549- BashTool now skips login shell (`-l` flag) by default when a shell snapshot is available, improving command execution performance. Previously this required setting `CLAUDE_BASH_NO_LOGIN=true`.
4550- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
4551- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
4552- 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.
4553- 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.
4554- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
4555- The `/model` picker now shows human-readable labels (e.g., "Sonnet 4.5") instead of raw model IDs for pinned model versions, with an upgrade hint when a newer version is available.
4556- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files
4557
4558## 2.1.50
4559
4560- Added support for `startupTimeout` configuration for LSP servers
4561- Added `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
4562- Fixed a bug where resumed sessions could be invisible when the working directory involved symlinks, because the session storage path was resolved at different times during startup. Also fixed session data loss on SSH disconnect by flushing session data before hooks and analytics in the graceful shutdown sequence.
4563- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
4564- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state
4565- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` to fully strip down skills, session memory, custom agents, and CLAUDE.md token counting
4566- Fixed `/mcp reconnect` freezing the CLI when given a server name that doesn't exist
4567- Fixed memory leak where completed task state objects were never removed from AppState
4568- Added support for `isolation: worktree` in agent definitions, allowing agents to declaratively run in isolated git worktrees.
4569- `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` mode now also disables MCP tools, attachments, hooks, and CLAUDE.md file loading for a fully minimal experience.
4570- Fixed bug where MCP tools were not discovered when tool search is enabled and a prompt is passed in as a launch argument
4571- Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing internal caches after compaction
4572- Added `claude agents` CLI command to list all configured agents
4573- Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing large tool results after they have been processed
4574- Fixed a memory leak where LSP diagnostic data was never cleaned up after delivery, causing unbounded memory growth in long sessions
4575- Fixed a memory leak where completed task output was not freed from memory, reducing memory usage in long sessions with many tasks
4576- Improved startup performance for headless mode (`-p` flag) by deferring Yoga WASM and UI component imports
4577- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
4578- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long sessions by capping file history snapshots
4579- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT` environment variable to disable 1M context window support
4580- Opus 4.6 (fast mode) now includes the full 1M context window
4581- VSCode: Added `/extra-usage` command support in VS Code sessions
4582- Fixed memory leak where TaskOutput retained recent lines after cleanup
4583- Fixed memory leak in CircularBuffer where cleared items were retained in the backing array
4584- Fixed memory leak in shell command execution where ChildProcess and AbortController references were retained after cleanup
4585
4586## 2.1.49
4587
4588- Improved MCP OAuth authentication with step-up auth support and discovery caching, reducing redundant network requests during server connections
4589- Added `--worktree` (`-w`) flag to start Claude in an isolated git worktree
4590- Subagents support `isolation: "worktree"` for working in a temporary git worktree
4591- Added Ctrl+F keybinding to kill background agents (two-press confirmation)
4592- Agent definitions support `background: true` to always run as a background task
4593- Plugins can ship `settings.json` for default configuration
4594- Fixed file-not-found errors to suggest corrected paths when the model drops the repo folder
4595- Fixed Ctrl+C and ESC being silently ignored when background agents are running and the main thread is idle. Pressing twice within 3 seconds now kills all background agents.
4596- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
4597- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
4598- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
4599- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
4600- 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.
4601- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes
4602- Fixed unbounded WASM memory growth during long sessions by periodically resetting the tree-sitter parser
4603- Fixed potential rendering issues caused by stale yoga layout references
4604- Improved performance in non-interactive mode (`-p`) by skipping unnecessary API calls during startup
4605- Improved performance by caching authentication failures for HTTP and SSE MCP servers, avoiding repeated connection attempts to servers requiring auth
4606- Fixed unbounded memory growth during long-running sessions caused by Yoga WASM linear memory never shrinking
4607- SDK model info now includes `supportsEffort`, `supportedEffortLevels`, and `supportsAdaptiveThinking` fields so consumers can discover model capabilities.
4608- Added `ConfigChange` hook event that fires when configuration files change during a session, enabling enterprise security auditing and optional blocking of settings changes.
4609- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
4610- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
4611- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call
4612- Fixed `disableAllHooks` setting to respect managed settings hierarchy — non-managed settings can no longer disable managed hooks set by policy (#26637)
4613- 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.
4614- 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
4615
4616## 2.1.47
4617
4618- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
4619- 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.
4620- 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.
4621- 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.
4622- 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)
4623- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use
4624- Improved startup performance by deferring SessionStart hook execution, reducing time-to-interactive by ~500ms.
4625- Fixed an issue where bash tool output was silently discarded on Windows when using MSYS2 or Cygwin shells.
4626- 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.
4627- Improved memory usage by trimming agent task message history after tasks complete
4628- Improved memory usage during long agent sessions by eliminating O(n²) message accumulation in progress updates
4629- Fixed the bash permission classifier to validate that returned match descriptions correspond to actual input rules, preventing hallucinated descriptions from incorrectly granting permissions
4630- Fixed user-defined agents only loading one file on NFS/FUSE filesystems that report zero inodes (anthropics/claude-code#26044)
4631- Fixed plugin agent skills silently failing to load when referenced by bare name instead of fully-qualified plugin name (anthropics/claude-code#25834)

4656- Fixed custom agent `model` field in `.claude/agents/*.md` being ignored when spawning team teammates (anthropics/claude-code#26064)
4657- Fixed plan mode being lost after context compaction, causing the model to switch from planning to implementation mode (anthropics/claude-code#26061)
4658- Fixed `alwaysThinkingEnabled: true` in settings.json not enabling thinking mode on Bedrock and Vertex providers (anthropics/claude-code#26074)
4659- Fixed `tool_decision` OTel telemetry event not being emitted in headless/SDK mode (anthropics/claude-code#26059)
4660- Fixed session name being lost after context compaction — renamed sessions now preserve their custom title through compaction (anthropics/claude-code#26121)
4661- Increased initial session count in resume picker from 10 to 50 for faster session discovery (anthropics/claude-code#26123)
