3## 2.1.287
4
5- Added Claude Mods: plugins may now modify deeper behavior
6- Added You should know, an opt-in plugin where a side agent watches your back and flags things you or Claude might miss. Turn it on with `/plugin enable cc-plugin-you-should-know@builtin` (for first-party sessions with telemetry on)
7- Added an `n:<text>` filter to the agents view that matches session names and tasks; a filter now shows matches in collapsed sections and Enter opens the first match
8- Added `prompt_text` to the OpenTelemetry `user_prompt` event, a copy of `prompt` for backends that nest dotted keys; drop or mask it wherever you drop or mask `prompt` (anthropics/claude-code#70763)
9- Added URL prompts from MCP servers on the 2025-11-25 protocol, for example to sign in. If a server no longer connects after this update, add "bareElicitationCapability": true to its MCP config entry
10- Windows: Added a startup warning when denying the Bash tool also turns off the PowerShell tool, so Claude has no shell tool
11- Self-hosted runner: Added a built-in `gh api` (REST only) for sessions that use Anthropic-managed git on macOS and Linux machines where the GitHub CLI is not installed
12- Fixed fast mode staying off in remote sessions owned by an agent with no user account, even when the organization allows it
13- Fixed Remote Control not receiving messages for minutes at a time when a reconnect request got no response; it now gives up after 30 seconds and retries
14- Fixed hooks configured with `asyncRewake` waking Claude over and over with "found issues" notifications when the hook's script file is missing; the broken hook is now reported once
15- Fixed tool heartbeats not reaching SDK hosts while the model's response stream was stalled with no data arriving
16- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex startup model checks ignoring an enforced `availableModels` list, which could collapse `/model` to one Opus row
17- Fixed the Claude in Chrome browser picker showing a JSON parse error when Chrome could not be reached
18- Fixed picking Fable in `/model` on a claude.ai login saving the current version's id, so your saved default now follows the newest Fable like Opus and Sonnet do
19- Fixed switching between Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 (`/model`, `opusplan`) rewriting earlier MCP tool announcements, which could drop earlier extended thinking
20- Fixed Amazon Bedrock Guardrails blocks that arrive mid-response ending the turn with an API error instead of the guardrail's message when the reply began with thinking
21- Fixed a dangerous `rm` (such as one on `/` or the home directory) losing its always-ask safeguard when the same command also redirected output to a `~` or wildcard path
22- Fixed `claude -p` and SDK sessions repeating a model fallback on every later message after the model was switched while a reply was running
23- Fixed a folder's CLAUDE.md being attached a second time after resuming a session or after a compaction
24- Fixed background sessions that could not be reopened from `claude agents` after the agent exited and removed the worktree the session was started in
25- Fixed `/advisor` pairing checks: Sonnet 5.5 can now advise Opus 4.7 and 4.8, and advisors the API would refuse are flagged up front instead of being silently dropped
26- Fixed Bash permission prompts showing internal parser names such as "Contains simple_expansion" instead of a plain explanation
27- Fixed a cause of fullscreen sessions on slow or busy machines exiting with "Claude Code exited after an unrecoverable interface error" while a scroll key was held in a long conversation
28- Fixed organization per-tool permission ceilings being silently dropped for an MCP tool named `__proto__`
29- Fixed Claude being told to page large MCP results saved as JSON with Read's offset and limit, which cannot split one long line
30- Fixed the commit attribution reminder being delivered inside a tool result after a compaction
31- Fixed screen reader mode leaving the cursor away from the typed text in search boxes (such as /resume and /permissions) and sign-in code fields
32- Fixed screen reader mode refusing Enter with nothing typed on /rewind's summarize options, whose added context is optional
33- Fixed screen reader mode showing a "Tab to amend" hint on approval prompts, where Tab does nothing
34- Fixed screen reader mode listing arrow keys that do nothing in /permissions and /mcp, and saying "Select with numbers" in empty menus or while a search box has the keys
35- Fixed screen reader mode leaving out the changed lines in file edit approval prompts and other diffs
36- Fixed screen reader mode sending the `claude --teleport` progress screen, and an MCP form field while it is being checked, to the screen reader again on every spinner frame
37- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS` not removing the structured-output format from session-title and prompt-hook requests, which Bedrock-backed gateways reject
38- Fixed screen reader mode leaving out the top lines of a second approval prompt, a changed /config row or the rejected-plan line when the previous screen was taller than the terminal window
39- Fixed `--include-partial-messages` sending a cut-short reply's `message_stop` late or never, so apps could show the reply as still in progress
40- Fixed `claude agents` sometimes not showing the permission prompt a background session is waiting on
41- Fixed `/ultrareview` giving advice about `.git/info/attributes` when the upload stops on a committed `.gitattributes` it cannot read, such as one saved as UTF-16
42- Fixed `claude remote-control` failing to register behind an HTTP proxy with a misleading "Check your organization permissions" error (anthropics/claude-code#97352)
43- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands on Linux inheriting an open handle on the Claude Code executable
44- Fixed the running-tool dot and three spinners still moving with the "Reduce motion" setting on, and /rewind's confirm screen updating its "ago" time while you type a note
45- Fixed times in `claude agents` changing every second in screen reader mode; they now change at most every 10 seconds
46- Fixed a revoked claude.ai login showing a generic `API Error: 401` instead of "OAuth token revoked"; in `-p` mode the error now starts with "Failed to authenticate"
47- Fixed `/ultrareview` upload refusals advising you to copy a variable named by a repository's settings file into your own user settings
48- Fixed `--output-format stream-json` and the SDK not streaming the turns of a `context: fork` skill run by typing `/<skill>` as the prompt, as they do for the Skill tool's fork
49- Fixed /feedback and /bug: the pre-filled GitHub issue no longer includes your recent error messages, and the confirmation screen now lists them as part of the report
50- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace add --sparse` and `git-subdir` plugin installs failing with "transport 'http' not allowed" when the repository is served over plain http
51- Fixed cloud sessions sometimes losing the earlier conversation when the session restarted while it was being compacted
52- Fixed a plugin reload that overlapped the startup `--plugin-url` download corrupting the session's cached copy of the plugin archive
53- Fixed `/desktop` quoting partial output when opening Claude Desktop timed out or printed too much output; the error now names the cause
54- Fixed an MCP connector tool call occasionally running twice, or the connector's calls failing until restart, when its server changed which MCP protocol version it supports
55- Fixed SessionStart hooks from synced plugins not running in new cloud sessions
56- Fixed the transcript's "N hooks ran" summary and the verbose debug log's matched-hooks count including Claude Code's internal callbacks, so one configured hook no longer shows as two
57- Fixed files Claude sends from cloud and Remote Control sessions failing when the upload finished just after the 30-second timeout; it now waits 35 seconds
58- Fixed repositories added mid-session in cloud and SDK sessions not loading their skills and plugins, and loading CLAUDE.md late, after Claude changed directory
59- Fixed PNG, JPEG and WebP images over 8,000 pixels on a side failing to send from a remote session; Claude now sends a scaled-down copy
60- Fixed messages sent from the Claude apps with 17 to 20 attached files delivering only the first 16
61- Fixed headless sessions reporting an MCP server as needing authentication after one refused call, even though later calls succeed
62- macOS: Fixed Remote Control sessions started with `claude remote-control` stopping mid-turn when the Mac went to idle sleep
63- Windows: Fixed interactive `claude` hanging or crashing with "Raw mode is not supported" when its input is piped or redirected; it now says why and exits (use `-p` for piped input)
64- Bedrock, Vertex, Mantle: Fixed model availability checks under `CLAUDE_CODE_SKIP_*_AUTH` sending a different `Authorization` header than real requests when `ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS` repeats it
65- Improved `/config`: settings that cycle show ‹ › and step both ways with ←/→, narrow terminals stack each value under its label, and PgUp/PgDn page the list
66- Improved plugin marketplace errors to say in plain words why a marketplace was ignored or refused, and what to do
67- Improved plugin listings to note when a plugin's dependencies were not installed, and updating a plugin now retries an install that did not finish
68- Improved the Claude apps gateway's error when Amazon Bedrock rejects a model ID: developers now see which model is unavailable, and the gateway log names the ID that was sent
69- Improved SDK sessions so a message sent with priority "now" no longer cancels a running web fetch or web search; it keeps loading in the background
70- Improved `/memory`: the left and right arrow keys now flip its on/off settings, such as Auto-memory
71- Improved `/skill` names typed mid-message: Claude is now told they are skills, including `disable-model-invocation` ones
72- Improved the contrast of the prompt input border in light themes and of the ❯ before your earlier messages
73- Improved delivery of files Claude sends from cloud sessions and Remote Control: an upload that fails on a timeout, a network error or a 502, 503 or 504 is now retried once
74- Improved what Claude says when a file cannot be sent for a reason that may be temporary: it now mentions that you can ask for the file again in a few minutes
75- Improved the prompt for a held message from another session to show the message between dashed lines, matching other permission prompts
76- Improved MCP and other tool permission prompts to show the tool call between dashed lines, matching file edit prompts
77- Improved MCP startup in headless mode: a remote server whose first connect fails transiently is now retried without waiting for the slowest server to finish connecting
78- Improved files Claude sends from a remote session: large files now stream from disk instead of being read into memory, and a file over the size limit is refused with the server's limit named
79- Improved the explanation Claude gives when the server refuses a file it sends from a Remote Control or cloud session, such as an oversized image
80- Improved handling of large MCP tool results: less memory, smaller session files, and no extra upload to count tokens for results far over the limit
81- Windows: Improved Bash tool speed by removing a subshell that ran before every command
82- Changed a shell write through a repo-committed symlink onto a sensitive file or out of the working tree to name where it lands and wait for a person, on lines with a `~` target too
83- Changed Opus 4.7+ and Fable to use a 1M context window by default on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and the Claude apps gateway, with no `[1m]` suffix (`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=1` keeps 200K)
84- Changed replies from `claude agents` to arrive as queued messages; slash commands other than `/stop` sent while a turn is running now run when it ends
85- Changed whole-tool `Bash` allow rules and allowing hooks to prompt for, not run, shell writes to files Claude Code's file tools refuse outright (the Anthropic profile store, the host credentials file)
86- Changed right-click paste on Windows and Linux, and middle-click paste on Linux, to happen when the button is released; moving the pointer away before releasing cancels it
87- Changed MCP server `alwaysLoad: false` to defer all of that server's tools behind tool search
88- Changed screen reader mode to write new or changed lines without first pausing with the cursor at the start of the line; set `CLAUDE_AX_PREPARK_MS=50` to restore the pause
89- Changed automatic model switches after a flagged message to keep your current effort level instead of the new model's default
90- Changed waiting permission prompts to show oldest first, so a new prompt no longer covers the one you're reading (prompts with a countdown still open on top)
91- [VSCode] Added "Run in background" to a running command or sub-agent, to move it to the background and keep working
92- [VSCode] Added the output of background shells and Monitors to their cards in the agent map
93- [VSCode] Fixed settings dialogs blaming a timeout when Claude Code's reply was too large to confirm a save
94- [VSCode] Fixed reopening a cloud session that the side bar already brought to this machine opening it again in a new tab; the side bar is shown instead
95- [VSCode] Fixed the side bar's Web tab not listing cloud sessions started after the window loaded; a failed load now says "Remote server is not connected" instead of "No web sessions yet"
96- [VSCode] Fixed a tab restored after a reload starting a second Claude process on a conversation the side bar already has open; it now shows the "still open somewhere else" notice
97- [VSCode] Fixed tool-row file links, session-list links and two hints showing in plain text
98- [VSCode] Fixed a background agent's still-running command showing as failed once the main turn ended
99- [VSCode] Fixed a user's own `/usage` or `/context` command opening the extension's dialog instead of running when picked from the command menu
100- [VSCode] Fixed file links in the plan preview tab doing nothing when clicked; they now open the file like links in chat replies
101- [VSCode] Fixed opening a tool's input or output in an editor tab failing with "Timeout waiting after 1000ms" on remote hosts such as WSL when the tab is slow to appear
102- [VSCode] Improved the Manage plugins dialog: a failed marketplace add, remove or refresh now says what went wrong
103- [VSCode] Changed the Claude in Chrome "Enabled by default" switch to also connect the editor's own sessions, which still ask before browser actions
104- [Cloud sessions] Fixed occasional failures to fetch from or push to GitHub when GitHub briefly refused a newly issued access token
105- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude posting a failure warning, such as a spend limit notice, in a Slack thread when a background event like GitHub activity woke it and nobody was waiting on a reply
106- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude Tag's spend limits page in admin settings leaving out recently created and private channels in organizations with many channels
107- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude's task list in long Slack threads: background work no longer reposts it as a new message on its own, so people following the thread aren't notified
108- [Code Review] Fixed finding comments and their "Why this was flagged" text stopping mid-sentence; they now end on a complete sentence
109- [Code Review] Fixed Code Review skipping a pull request after a new push when its review had failed twice on the previous commit; it now reviews the latest commit
110- [Code Review] Improved the failed-review card on a pull request whose conversation is locked: it now says the lock blocked the review and that nothing was posted or charged
111
112## 2.1.286
113
114- Added a count such as "2 of 5" to the permission prompt when several permission requests stack up
115- Added mouse support for the "N more" rows of lists in fullscreen mode: click one to jump to that end of the list, with hover and pressed states
116- Fixed several Claude Code processes and IDE extensions each opening a login browser when gcpAuthRefresh or awsAuthRefresh credentials expire
117- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` sometimes losing every turn after a batch of parallel tool calls when the earlier session crashed or was killed
118- Fixed API 400 errors after a tool or hook returned an object, number or boolean instead of text, including in resumed sessions
119- Fixed cloud sessions with very large histories never waking up because the container was stopped while the transcript was still loading
120- Fixed the Claude apps gateway's spend meter pricing 1-hour prompt cache writes at the cheaper 5-minute rate, and counting only the first model call's input tokens on streamed turns that run a server-side tool such as web search
121- Fixed macOS sessions still showing "Not logged in" or "Login expired" after `/login` succeeds in another Claude Code window when a leftover `~/.claude/.credentials.json` exists
122- Fixed every turn failing when the Anthropic API refuses the model your default or a model alias resolves to: Claude Code now retries once on the previous model of the same tier
123- Fixed Remote Control sessions (including `claude remote-control`) staying connected after your organization's policy turns Remote Control off; they now disconnect with a notice
124- Fixed refusal and `--fallback-model` retries failing when the fallback model can't run fast; they now run at standard speed, with a one-time notice in interactive sessions
125- Fixed headless sessions repeating the "MCP servers require authentication" reminder after a successful re-authentication when the MCP discovery cache is enabled
126- Fixed `claude auth status` reporting a Console sign-in's stored API key as `claude.ai`; it now reports `api_key`, and the VS Code extension treats that session as an API key session
127- Fixed `/status` listing an Anthropic profile beside an API key as if both were in effect; the profile is now marked as not in use
128- Fixed Claude not being told when a file attached to a message sent over Remote Control did not arrive, and a file sometimes getting only 10 seconds for its last download try
129- Fixed a Remote Control message that arrived while Claude Code was exiting being marked delivered and then never answered; it now stays queued for the session's next run
130- Fixed MCP error messages showing a credential's value when "Bearer" or "Basic" came before its key name
131- Fixed percent-encoded Bearer tokens being only partly masked in error messages
132- Fixed redacted logs and transcripts showing a secret whose key name has an invisible character inside, such as a zero-width space
133- Fixed logs and transcripts showing part of a URL password that contains punctuation such as `)`, quotes, `]`, `&` or a second `@`, or that runs past a `/` to a bracketed host such as `[::1]` in an ssh URL
134- Fixed the session transcript in the zip that `/feedback` saves to disk containing invalid JSON lines after secret redaction
135- Fixed MCP connectors listing no tools for up to a day after their server dropped the older MCP handshake
136- Fixed a repeat MCP sign-in request from Claude replacing the pending sign-in link, which could stop that link from working
137- Fixed `/usage` not crediting an MCP server for a tool call made while that server was still connecting or had only just connected, such as right after a restart
138- Fixed plugins enabled on claude.ai occasionally going missing from Claude Code for a session after a transient server error
139- Fixed a message typed into a running subagent showing twice in its transcript after the subagent read it
140- Fixed subagent hand-back messages showing a raw task id instead of the agent's name when the subagent had no registered name
141- Fixed foreground subagents sometimes missing the task-tracking tools (TaskCreate/Get/Update/List, TodoWrite) in sessions that have them enabled
142- Fixed subagents spawned with worktree isolation loading the project CLAUDE.md and its imports a second time from the worktree copy on their first file read
143- Fixed Workflow tool subagents being restarted from their original prompt when a connection stalled for a few minutes mid-response
144- Fixed `/compact`, `/clear`, and `/rewind` typed while viewing a background agent's or teammate's transcript silently acting on the main conversation: a dialog now names the target and asks first
145- Fixed background jobs showing done while waiting for your approval
146- Fixed the commit attribution reminder being re-sent inside tool output when a model fallback lasts only one turn
147- Fixed a click on the space between words of a collapsed row (such as "Thought for 4s") highlighting the row without expanding it in fullscreen mode
148- Fixed a row with no details, such as an action row with a long name, pushing every other row's details to the right in list screens
149- Fixed files with very long names not reaching a cloud session when attached to it
150- Fixed plugin errors for a marketplace Claude Code refuses to load: they now say why and how to fix it instead of "not found"
151- Fixed `/plugin`'s Discover tab showing a marketplace name unquoted in its "Checking … for new plugins" line when its rows already show that name in quotes
152- Improved commit guidance: when your project or user skills include one named `verify`, Claude is now told to run it right before committing, except for docs-only and tests-only commits
153- Improved send now (ctrl+enter) in a subagent's view: it now moves the subagent's running command to the background so your message is read right away
154- Improved replies from background agents to your messages so they no longer open with a separate recap of what you said
155- Improved claude.ai artifact link reads: WebFetch now asks the same questions as the Artifact tool's read (no artifact prompt while the session's network access is on, one per artifact while it is off), and an auto-mode yes no longer counts where only you can answer
156- Improved fetch, skill, file read, sandbox network, Claude in Chrome, workflow script and notebook edit permission prompts to match the look of file edit prompts
157- Improved Bash, PowerShell and Monitor permission prompts to show the command between dashed lines, matching file edit prompts
158- Improved list scrollbars in fullscreen mode: in most lists the bar no longer shifts as the "N more" rows come and go, and it now has ↑/↓ arrows you can click or hold to scroll
159- Improved the external editor (Ctrl+G): editors that take a line number now open on the line your cursor is on in the prompt
160- Improved slash command suggestion responsiveness while typing when many skills or plugin commands are installed; command descriptions now match by word prefix
161- Improved the output style picker: it now opens on your current style instead of Default, with each style's description on the line under its name; number keys no longer pick a style
162- Improved `/hooks`: the closing line of a hook's detail screen now says "this hook" instead of "it"
163- Improved the model fallback notice and the autocompact-thrashing error to say when a fallback dropped the context window from 1M to 200K tokens
164- Improved responsiveness of SDK and `-p` sessions when a host re-sends an MCP server enable for a server that is already connected
165- Improved the protocol page a Claude apps gateway serves at `/protocol`: it now says not to reject unknown input and matches what Claude Code sends today
166- Changed prompts sent while nothing is running or queued to show in the normal text color right away instead of gray
167- Changed how failed API requests are retried: one limit now covers a whole model call, so with the default retry settings a failing call sends at most 14 requests
168- Changed `--bare` to connect only the MCP servers named on the command line, send the model no system reminders, and start no background tasks; under `--bare`, a shell command that reaches its timeout now stops instead of moving to the background
169- Changed the send-now key (ctrl+enter) to move a skill's own shell command to the background instead of ending it
170- Changed the WebFetch error for a rate-limited domain safety check to tell Claude not to retry it in a loop
171- Changed plugin installs to refuse npm sources that are git repositories or folders, and to install plugin dependencies only from registry packages
172- Changed list screens (`/artifacts`, `/mcp`, `/skills`, `/hooks` and others) to always line up each row's details in one column after the names
173- Changed the overflow rows of lists to read "↑ N more" / "↓ N more" instead of "N more above" / "N more below"
174- Changed `/hooks` to open on one list of your configured hooks grouped by event, so viewing a hook takes one Enter instead of three
175- Changed the theme picker to a scrolling list that fits your terminal instead of pushing the preview off screen; number keys no longer pick a theme
176- Changed `/exit`'s Remove worktree to run after Claude Code stops the servers and shells it started there, which on Windows could keep the folder from being deleted
177- Changed the `claude-api` skill's Managed Agents examples to create environments with limited networking
178- Removed the browser link from `/ultrareview` and `claude ultrareview` output
179- Windows: Fixed `claude --bg` and the agents view refusing a folder that `claude` already trusts when its trust record was saved with different letter case
180- [VSCode] Added bookmarks: save Claude's responses and keep them in view in a Bookmarks side panel
181- [VSCode] Added the questions Claude asks and your answers to the conversation: after you answer a question card, a Questions row shows each question with your picks
182- [VSCode] Added option previews to question cards in the chat panel: the highlighted choice's mockup or snippet shows beside or under the options
183- [VSCode] Added rows under a message that open to the terminal output, browser tab, browser instructions and selected code sent with it
184- [VSCode] Fixed a second copy of a conversation opening in a tab when it was already open in the side bar; the side bar now switches to it
185- [VSCode] Fixed settings dialogs reporting a failed save, without re-checking, when Claude Code printed more than 1 MB of output
186- [VSCode] Fixed an endless "Teleporting session…" spinner when the extension stops responding
187- [VSCode] Improved the Manage plugins dialog: it says when a turned-off plugin is still on because of other settings, and explains a plugin folder clash
188- [VSCode] Changed Stop and Escape to end only the current turn; background agents keep running and can be stopped one by one from the agent map
189- [VSCode] Changed the "✻ Claude Code" status bar item to show in every window, so you can open Claude when no file is open
190- [Cloud sessions] Fixed an answered question card or approved tool call getting no reply when the session had gone idle after Claude sent a message
191- [Cloud sessions] Fixed clearing an organization environment's setup script in admin settings leaving new cloud sessions still running the old script
192- [Cloud sessions] Fixed the Runner actions menu on the self-hosted environments admin page closing on its own a few seconds after it opened
193- [Cloud sessions] Fixed routine runs whose cloud session never started showing as Succeeded in the Runs pane, the routine's page and the sidebar; they now show as Failed
194- [Cloud sessions] Fixed clicking an audio or video file in a cloud session's Outputs card opening an empty file search instead of playing the file
195- [Cloud sessions] Changed a routine's page to read "Due" with the scheduled time, instead of a next run time in the past, when a scheduled run is late and hasn't started
196- [Claude Tag] Added an Add channel button to Claude Tag's spend limits page in admin settings, so a limit can be set on any channel, including a private one, from its channel ID or Slack link
197- [Claude Tag] Fixed memory recall finding nothing in organizations that cannot use the default Sonnet model
198- [Claude Tag] Fixed a Slack channel losing its Claude settings when an Enterprise Grid admin moves it to another workspace and the first post afterward doesn't mention Claude
199- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in a Slack thread occasionally starting over on a fresh machine, losing work it hadn't pushed, when your reply answered a question it had just asked
200- [Claude Tag] Fixed public channel names on Claude Tag's spend limits page in admin settings showing as raw Slack IDs in larger organizations
201- [Claude Tag] Improved the titles of sessions started from Slack as shown on claude.ai: they now read as the words you typed, without Slack user IDs or escape codes
202
203## 2.1.285
204
205- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_WEB_FETCH` environment variable to turn off the WebFetch tool
206- Added `claude --desktop` to open the Claude desktop app on the current directory, or on a session with `--continue` / `--resume <id>`
207- Added `claude plugin configure <plugin>` to show a plugin's options and which are unset, or save new values read from stdin with `--values-stdin`
208- Added `<server>.<key>=<value>` to `claude plugin install --config`, so a bundled `.mcpb` MCP server's own settings can be set at install time and it starts without visiting `/plugin` → Configure
209- Added `allowedProviders` managed setting to limit which API providers a machine may use (Anthropic API, a custom endpoint, Bedrock, Mantle, Vertex AI, Foundry, Claude Platform on AWS, or a Cloud gateway)
210- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_NONSTREAMING_TIMEOUT_RETRIES` environment variable to cap re-sends of a non-streaming fallback request that timed out
211- Fixed `claude -p` with `CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1`: a subagent's own Agent call now runs in the foreground, so the subagent gets the child's result
212- Fixed plugin and marketplace installs and updates over SSH ignoring the ssh program set in `GIT_SSH` or in your git config's `core.sshCommand`
213- Fixed Claude Code refusing to start when the OS denies reading the managed settings file; it now warns and starts without that file's policies. Other read errors and unparseable files stop every session
214- Fixed cloud sessions that restarted after their conversation was compacted refusing the next update to an artifact the session had already read or published
215- Fixed `claude plugin disable` and `enable` with a full `name@marketplace` id changing a settings entry in another letter case instead of the installed plugin's own
216- Fixed files attached to a message sent over Remote Control being left out after a single failed download; a network error, timeout or server error is now retried up to twice
217- Fixed switching models mid-session with a `set_model` request (such as the Agent SDK's `setModel`) leaving the new model on the built-in output-token limit and auto-compact window until restart
218- Fixed redacted logs and transcripts showing part of a URL password that contains `@`, or all of it when the URL writes its `@` as `%40`
219- Fixed SSH passphrase and new-host prompts from worktree and `/teleport` fetches taking over the terminal; these fetches now fail fast instead of asking
220- Fixed switching off an MCP server added mid-session in SDK and `-p` sessions leaving its tools available
221- Fixed `claude -p --permission-prompt-tool`: a background subagent's permission request now goes to the prompt tool instead of being auto-denied
222- Fixed `claude mcp list` and `claude mcp get`, and the not-found error of `claude mcp remove`, `login` and `logout`, printing line breaks and terminal escape sequences from MCP server names and values
223- Fixed sandbox auto-allow asking for approval on every run of many inline scripts (`python3 -c`, `node -e`) just because they contain `=`
224- Fixed fork subagents not keeping the session's plan mode or `dontAsk` mode: a fork now runs under its parent's permission mode and cannot exit plan mode
225- Fixed `claude remote-control --help` saying `--[no-]chrome` defaults to the machine's `/chrome` setting; spawned sessions keep Claude in Chrome off unless `--chrome` is passed
226- Fixed background subagents in auto mode prompting a second, redundant reply after each report
227- Fixed cloud session creation and `/remote-env` reading only the newest 20 of an account's environments
228- Fixed Remote Control marking a message as read as soon as it arrived instead of when Claude started on it, and losing a message still queued when the terminal quit (it now arrives on the next resume)
229- Fixed installing a plugin with `claude plugin install` or `/plugin` putting it into an installed plugin's cache or data folder when their ids differ only in `.`, `-`, `@` or (macOS, Windows) capitals; the install is now refused
230- Fixed hooks and SDK permission callbacks seeing a missing or outdated plan on ExitPlanMode when the plan was written in the same response
231- Fixed the first reply in cloud sessions arriving tens of milliseconds late, a regression in 2.1.283
232- Fixed sessions that authenticate with `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` against the Anthropic API never loading the organization's policy
233- Fixed a failed `agent()`, `parallel()` or `pipeline()` call that a workflow script awaits later, or not at all, being treated as an unhandled promise rejection, which could end a background session
234- Fixed synchronous hooks hanging Claude Code while a background process the hook started (for example `some-daemon &`) kept its output open; the hook now finishes shortly after its own process exits
235- Fixed WebFetch reporting a rate-limited domain safety check as a network or enterprise policy block
236- Fixed the fullscreen ctrl+o transcript freezing briefly when opened on turns with hundreds of file reads or searches; tool calls still running when the transcript opens now show their results when they finish
237- Fixed Amazon Bedrock mid-stream `modelTimeoutException` and `serviceUnavailableException` errors showing a raw JSON body instead of the error message
238- Fixed `/autofix-pr` and `/schedule` saying the Claude GitHub App is not installed on a repository whose install status had not been checked yet
239- Fixed dismissing a row (x) in `/artifacts` unlinking its file from the artifact, so publishing the same file again created a new artifact instead of updating it
240- Fixed Artifact tool publishes after a conversation rewind (Esc Esc) overwriting a file's newer content that Claude had read only in the rewound turns; the publish is now refused until Claude re-reads the file
241- Fixed an `Artifact` allow rule ("don't ask again") letting the Artifact tool publish a file outside the working directories without asking; add the file's folder with `--add-dir` for the rule to cover it
242- Fixed `/cost` and SDK `modelUsage` reporting a turn under the wrong model when the server answered a refusal with a different fallback model than the client expected
243- Fixed the Artifact tool so that publishing a page no longer lets Claude overwrite its source file without re-reading it when Claude's earlier read was cut short or the file had changed since
244- Fixed auto mode skipping its classifier for Artifact tool asset uploads and reads of someone else's artifact when you had approved that artifact earlier in another permission mode
245- Fixed a misleading "core.worktree is set" error from `/ultrareview` when the project folder briefly could not be read
246- Fixed `/ultrareview` on macOS and Linux failing to upload the working tree from a git worktree whose per-worktree config sets `core.longpaths`
247- Fixed the Artifact tool sometimes reporting a publish as a conflict with another session after retrying a temporary server error, when the first attempt had actually succeeded
248- Fixed `/ultrareview` uploads including uncommitted changes to credential files whose name has a colon before the extension, such as `server:8443.key`
249- Fixed a rare auth failure when two sessions recover a login refresh lock left by a crashed process at the same time
250- Fixed the PowerShell tool's permission check skipping deny and ask rules, and caching that failure for later checks, when its command parser failed to start (for example when the machine was out of memory)
251- Fixed `/ultrareview` uploads on macOS and Linux running slowly on some unusual file names, and their credential-file check missing file or folder names with many backup or editor marks
252- Fixed a cancelled shell command or hook still starting, and running to its end, when the cancel arrived while it was being set up
253- Fixed vim mode: after editing in the external editor (Ctrl+G), `x` or `r` in NORMAL mode no longer breaks a pasted-text placeholder at the end of the prompt
254- Fixed responses blocked by the API's output content filter being re-sent and retried, sometimes for minutes, instead of showing the filter's error right away
255- Fixed plugins silently skipping a bundled `.mcpb` MCP server that still needs configuration: `/plugin`, the install message and `claude plugin install` now say so and point to Configure
256- Fixed compacting or resuming a session failing, opening without its history, or crashing when its saved transcript holds a compaction marker or loop wakeup entry with missing or malformed fields
257- WSL: Fixed `/ultrareview` refusing to upload a checkout on a Linux volume when a changed file's name has a colon or ends in a dot or space
258- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` re-running a turn that had ended at `--max-turns`
259- Fixed sign-in that could wait forever after the browser showed success
260- Windows: Fixed `/ultrareview` uploading a linked worktree of a repository rooted at your home folder in some cases
261- Fixed cloud sessions reporting the uploads folder as missing before any file had been uploaded
262- Fixed a reply sent from `claude agents` to a background session waiting on a permission prompt sometimes approving the pending command
263- Fixed `claude attach`, `logs`, `stop`, `respawn` and `rm` starting a new session with the command name as its prompt when options came before it, such as from a shell alias
264- Fixed `claude mcp list` leaving out WebSocket (`ws`) MCP servers; each is now listed with its URL and health status
265- Fixed `claude mcp get` showing no Type, Command, Args, or Environment for stdio servers whose config entry omits the `type` field
266- Fixed `.claude/settings.local.json` allow rules being held back outside a git repository when git's trace2 output is configured
267- Fixed the `/claude-api` eval runner scaffold and report builder writing through a symlink or hard link planted at an output file
268- Fixed the `/claude-api` eval runner scaffold counting responses cut off at `max_tokens` in the score averages; they are now marked truncated and counted separately
269- Fixed `&nbsp;` showing as literal text in the terminal when a reply uses it to indent text, such as row labels in a markdown table
270- Fixed a brief freeze (up to a second) partway through long sessions outside fullscreen mode, which came back after `/clear` or `/compact`
271- Fixed an approved Edit never going through when its target is a device, such as a file symlinked to /dev/null, and the approval came from the IDE diff view or changed the edit
272- Fixed a failing API request being retried up to 21 times when streaming kept failing; the non-streaming fallback now shares the request's retry budget instead of getting a fresh set of retries
273- Improved Claude in Chrome: the native host now reports your computer's name, so connected browsers can be labeled by computer instead of "Browser 1" / "Browser 2"
274- Improved Bedrock and Vertex AI sessions to switch to an older available model of the same tier, instead of failing, when an admin removes access to the default model; session titles and summaries now fall back with it
275- Improved plugin marketplace errors to name why a git address is refused instead of citing enterprise policy
276- Improved validation of git URLs for plugins, marketplaces and the current repository's remote
277- Improved Artifact tool results: they now suggest publishing in the same step as writing or editing the page, which can save a round trip
278- Improved Remote Control: a `/btw` side question asked of a session hosted by an app such as Claude Desktop now sees the turn in progress, not only the last finished one
279- Improved pictures Claude sends as BMP, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF or TIFF files: the Claude apps now show a preview where Claude Code can convert them
280- Improved subagents in auto mode: a subagent's run now ends as soon as it hands its report back to its caller, instead of taking extra turns that reach no one
281- Improved Bedrock and Vertex start-up model checks: models your account cannot use are now remembered for up to a day instead of being re-checked on every launch
282- Improved Artifact tool publish results to use fewer tokens: the note on updating an artifact is shorter, and where to find your artifacts is no longer repeated after every publish
283- Improved SDK liveness during a non-streaming fallback request: with partial messages on, a `ping` stream event is now sent every 30 seconds on the Anthropic API, Claude Platform on AWS and gateways
284- Improved `/resume` and `claude --resume` on a session that is running in the background: they now open that session instead of refusing, and a prompt given with `claude --resume <id> "prompt"` is sent to it as its next turn
285- Improved per-turn performance when many permission deny rules and MCP tools are configured
286- Improved responsiveness when leaving the ctrl+o transcript view in long sessions when fullscreen rendering is off
287- Improved Bedrock, Vertex and Mantle start-up model checks to send the same User-Agent, x-app and session ID headers as regular requests
288- Changed MCP tools so a tool that sets its own `_meta['anthropic/alwaysLoad']` to false stays deferred when its `--mcp-config`, Agent SDK or plugin server is set to `alwaysLoad`
289- Changed background Bash and PowerShell commands to stop after a time limit (their `timeout` with `run_in_background`, default 30 min, max 2 h); Claude is notified when one is stopped
290- Changed Code Review's pull request reviews and `/ultrareview` to run when `disableWorkflows` is on, unless the machine running the review has it set by its own administrator (MDM or the managed-settings file)
291- Changed sessions behind a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` to use the 1M context window of models that have one (Opus 4.7+, Sonnet 5+, Fable); run `/autocompact 200k` if your gateway stops at 200K
292- Changed Team and Enterprise sessions, and sessions whose sign-in plan Claude Code can't determine, to withhold WebFetch until the organization policy loads if it couldn't be loaded at startup
293- Changed /memory so that Auto-memory can no longer be turned on from a background session or from a session one of Claude Code's own tools started; turning it off there still works
294- Changed the one-time offer to make auto mode your default permission mode to also show on third-party providers and with telemetry off, when your user settings default to another mode
295- Changed `claude -p` and Python Agent SDK sessions on third-party providers or with telemetry off to start in auto mode when no permission mode is configured, like interactive sessions; `--permission-mode` still overrides it
296- Changed Bedrock, Mantle and Claude Platform on AWS requests to a base URL with a non-default port to include the port in the SigV4-signed Host header
297- Changed the MCP server name `widgets` to be reserved in cloud sessions and on self-hosted runners: your own server under it, or a close spelling such as `widgets_`, no longer loads, so rename it
298- Changed `/ultrareview` on macOS and Linux to leave symbolic refs out when uploading a local checkout; a checkout whose current branch is a symbolic ref is now refused with an explanation
299- Windows: Changed project and local settings `env` to no longer set `ALLUSERSPROFILE`, `SystemDrive`, or the `CommonProgramFiles` variables; set them in user or managed settings instead
300- Changed `/tasks` to fold background work Claude Code runs for itself under one "System tasks" row; press Enter on it to show those tasks
301- Changed `/ultrareview` on macOS and Linux to require git 2.31 or newer to upload a local repository; checkouts made with `--separate-git-dir` are now refused instead of being uploaded with an older method
302- Changed `/ultrareview` uploads on macOS and Linux to send a partial clone as a working-tree snapshot on git 2.31 or newer, instead of falling back or refusing when git's version looked too old
303- Changed `/ultrareview` uploads on macOS and Linux to refuse, instead of fetching, a partial clone missing some of its working tree's files on older git versions; a clone made without `--filter` uploads
304- Changed Bedrock, Vertex and Mantle start-up model checks to identify themselves as Claude Code, like other Claude Code requests
305- Changed `claude mcp get` to hide the command, arguments, and environment values of stdio MCP servers provided by plugins; variable names are still shown
306- Changed `/claude-api` so it can no longer be run from Remote Control clients
307- Changed `/config chrome=true` to direct you to the /config panel instead of enabling Claude in Chrome by default; `/config chrome=false` still turns it off when it was on
308- Changed sandbox settings so project settings cannot widen or turn off an admin-required sandbox, replace the proxy behind a managed deny list, extend a strict allowlist, or reopen managed read-denies
309- [VSCode] Added a note under a restored tab's last message when a window reload interrupted it and no reply will follow
310- [VSCode] Added a plugin options form to Manage plugins: installing a plugin that has options asks for the unset ones, and a gear on its row changes them later
311- [VSCode] Added an on-demand diagnostics tool so Claude in the panel can read the Problems panel's current errors and warnings at any time, not only right after it edits a file
312- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Enter after typing a slash command running an unrelated menu item picked by fuzzy match, or doing nothing
313- [VSCode] Fixed an open agent transcript losing the agent's newer messages during a long session
314- [VSCode] Fixed a message that quotes a Claude Code or IDE tag losing the rest of its text in the chat
315- [VSCode] Fixed a message sent while Claude was working disappearing from the conversation after the session was reopened
316- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's Web tab showing the previous account's sessions after an account switch
317- [VSCode] Fixed restored tabs re-running an interrupted turn when VS Code was started with `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` set, even with Continue After Reload off
318- [VSCode] Fixed Escape stopping the running turn instead of closing the command menu after clicking one of its rows
319- [VSCode] Fixed opening Past conversations replacing a live conversation with its saved copy
320- [VSCode] Fixed a Claude tab reloaded after an extension restart staying blank instead of saying how to recover
321- [VSCode] Fixed opening a conversation that is already open in another window or app starting a second copy of it without warning; it now asks first
322- [VSCode] Fixed a hook's reason for blocking or stopping a prompt disappearing after a window reload
323- [VSCode] Fixed tabs stuck on a conversation that can't be resumed: the error now says so and offers to start a new conversation
324- [VSCode] Fixed every file Read, Write and Edit stalling for ten minutes and then being skipped when the editor stops responding to the extension's automatic save before the tool runs
325- [VSCode] Fixed the agent map labeling a sub-agent with the session's model instead of the model it actually ran on (e.g. under `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL_FORCE` or an agent's own `model`)
326- [VSCode] Fixed uninstalling a plugin from the Manage plugins dialog, which removed the wrong installation or failed for a plugin installed for the project
327- [VSCode] Fixed sign-in staying on the authorization-code step after going back and choosing the same sign-in method again
328- [VSCode] Fixed the chat panel stalling when a long session trims its oldest rows
329- [VSCode] Fixed the conversation disappearing from a session when many agents run
330- [VSCode] Fixed the editor tab keeping an old name after a session was renamed with /rename, by a SessionStart hook, or on claude.ai
331- [VSCode] Fixed the agent map's transcript view leaving out messages sent to a running agent
332- [VSCode] Improved the Manage plugins dialog: a failed plugin action now opens a popup that explains it and, where there is one, offers the fix
333- [VSCode] Changed the Manage plugins dialog to ask before removing a marketplace or turning off a plugin that your project's shared `.claude/settings.json` turns on
334- [Cloud sessions] Fixed Run now on a routine showing internal error text when the run is refused before it starts; it now shows the same explanation as the routine's failure notification
335- [Cloud sessions] Changed `MCP_DISCOVERY_CACHE=1`, when set in your cloud environment's variables rather than a settings file, to reuse your connectors' tool lists after a session restart; other MCP servers are no longer cached and connect at startup
336- [Claude Tag] Added direct messages with Claude for members on an Enterprise plan Standard or Usage-Based Chat seat who also have Cowork; a seat that includes Claude Code is no longer required
337- [Claude Tag] Fixed the Default model setting in admin settings and a channel's Configure page offering models your organization can't use, which made saves or new sessions fail
338- [Claude Tag] Fixed the note under Claude's Slack messages saying it answered on a fallback model, and why, disappearing when Claude later edited that message
339- [Code Review] Fixed the organization menu in Code Review's "Add a repository" dialog showing only a few of your GitHub organizations; it now loads more as you scroll
340- [Code Review] Improved the Code Review check run to say when your repository's REVIEW.md wasn't applied, for example on a very large pull request or when REVIEW.md is a symbolic link
341
342## 2.1.284
343
344- Added Claude Sonnet 5.5 (`claude-sonnet-5-5`), now the default Sonnet model on the Anthropic API — 1M context, $2/$10 per Mtok with $0.20/Mtok cache reads
345- Added a "Yes, but ask again next time" answer to auto mode's prompt before a read outside the working directories, so you can allow that one read and still be asked about later ones
346- Added dollar amounts to the Claude apps gateway spend limit in `/usage` and the status line (for example "$271.40 / $500.00 spent this month") when the gateway runs this version or later; the status line's `rate_limits.spend_limit` also gains `used_usd`, `limit_usd` and `period`
347- Added `effortSlider:decreaseEffort`, `increaseEffort` and `toggleUltracode` keybinding actions, so the `/effort` slider's arrow and Tab keys can be rebound in `keybindings.json`
348- Added `/rate-limit-options` to `/help` and the command menu for claude.ai subscribers, so the usage-limit notices that mention it point to a command you can find
349- Added `/mcp reconnect all` in the interactive terminal to retry every MCP server that failed to connect or needs authentication at once
350- Added Claude apps gateway startup warnings when a managed policy's `availableModels` is empty, or leaves out the model Claude Code starts on without setting `model` or `enforceAvailableModels`
351- Added `auth: { google: {} }` for Claude apps gateway `telemetry.forward_to` destinations, so telemetry can be exported straight to Google Cloud's OTLP endpoint using the gateway's Google Cloud credentials
352- Added certificate client authentication (`private_key_jwt`) between the Claude apps gateway and its identity provider, for identity providers that issue certificate credentials instead of client secrets
353- Fixed a damaged response stream showing raw errors such as "JSON Parse error" or "undefined is not an object", or writing the word "undefined" into an answer, instead of being retried or reported as an interrupted response
354- Fixed an overloaded or server error arriving right after a thinking block ending the turn with an error instead of being retried
355- Fixed "Prompt is too long" errors that persisted after compacting: when the compacted request is still too long, Claude Code now compacts once more, keeping less of the recent conversation
356- Fixed a session whose model is unavailable, with no fallback model left, showing a bare "is currently unavailable" message (or "Something went wrong" in cloud sessions) instead of the model-unavailable notice and its Learn more link
357- Fixed Agent SDK sessions crashing when a user message contains an image with a malformed `source`, and failing on every later turn after a malformed document block; a malformed image is now replaced with an explanatory note
358- Fixed MCP tool calls in a resumed session failing with "No such tool available" while their server was still connecting; the call now waits up to 10 seconds for the server
359- Fixed repeated calls to the plan-usage endpoint after it rate-limits or rejects your login: `/usage`, `/extra-usage` and IDE usage views now back off instead of re-asking
360- Fixed `claude mcp add` reporting success when managed settings restrict MCP servers to plugins; it now refuses and says what to do, instead of saving a server that never loads
361- Fixed the `/plugin` configure screen: boolean options are now a true/false choice instead of free text, number options refuse invalid input, and ←/→ change an options field instead of switching tabs
362- Fixed `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE` being interpolated into the Foundry endpoint host unvalidated; a value that is not a plain resource name is now refused
363- Fixed Claude Desktop behind a Claude apps gateway offering no 1M context option: the gateway now marks each 1M-capable model for Desktop automatically
364- Fixed ↓ in shell mode selecting a hidden background-tasks pill, which stopped Backspace and Ctrl+U from editing the prompt
365- Fixed Bash tool failing on Windows with many plugins enabled: plugin `bin/` directories that don't exist are no longer added to PATH, and inherited entries aren't added twice
366- Fixed `sparsePaths` plugin marketplaces cloning empty and replacing a working local copy on older git (before 2.39), which failed every refresh with "marketplace.json file is no longer present"
367- Fixed fullscreen rendering erasing the terminal output above the session when `[` in transcript mode writes the conversation to scrollback (macOS and Linux)
368- Fixed fullscreen scroll position jumping to the previous message or to the bottom when a reply finished streaming while scrolled up
369- Fixed tab bars in dialogs such as `/config` and `/plugin` breaking the title and tab labels mid-word in a narrow terminal; a tab that doesn't fit now moves to the next line whole
370- Fixed the `/model` picker showing "+1 model" below the list after scrolling to the last model; the count now covers only the models below the visible rows
371- Fixed `/keybindings` writing Backspace and Delete bindings for a footer action that does nothing into the generated `keybindings.json`
372- Fixed a rebound agent panel close key (`footer:close`) typing "x" instead of itself on the row of the agent you're viewing
373- Fixed vim mode `.` not repeating text typed very fast (for example over ssh or in tmux) or pasted without bracketed paste, and leaving the prompt in INSERT mode after repeating a change with nothing typed (such as `cw` then Esc)
374- Fixed vim mode leaving the cursor on an image placeholder's opening bracket after `dd` on the last line or `yy` at the end of the prompt, where `r` or `x` would break or delete the image
375- Fixed a key pressed the instant the terminal regained focus answering the Remote Control enable prompt before its short safety delay restarted
376- Fixed the workspace trust dialog appearing a second time after switching renderers or updating when Claude Code was started in the home directory
377- Fixed rules symlinked into `.claude/rules` from outside the project being skipped without ever showing the external-imports approval prompt; a `.claude` directory symlinked from outside the project now asks for the same approval
378- Fixed plugins from marketplaces, claude.ai and npm pre-approving their own tools via `allowed-tools` under managed `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`; only plugins from an official Anthropic source or a source that managed settings vouch for keep that pre-approval
379- Fixed a failed first `claude plugin install` leaving the plugin enabled and recorded when a dependency's version range could not be met
380- Fixed the debug log dropping a failed hook's stderr when the hook also wrote to stdout, and logging nothing for a failed hook with no output; failed hooks now also log their status code
381- Fixed `{"decision":"block"}` returned by Elicitation and ElicitationResult hooks being ignored; it now declines the MCP elicitation, as exit code 2 does
382- Fixed sessions launched without the `SendMessage` tool (such as by Claude Desktop) still being told to message other sessions with it
383- Fixed a photo sent from the Claude app over Remote Control being lost when its queued message was pulled back into the terminal prompt to edit, and the cursor moving one character for a photo with no caption
384- Fixed typing a message during an automatic usage-limit wait taking the wait out of the "Continue automatically at usage limit" setting's control when that turn hit the limit again
385- Fixed usage-limit warnings suggesting `/upgrade` to users already on the highest Max plan; the warnings and `/upgrade` itself now point at `/usage-credits` when it is available
386- Fixed the Explore subagent switching to Opus on the Claude API when the session runs a model ID Claude Code doesn't recognize, such as a custom model behind a proxy; Explore now inherits that model
387- Fixed `/loop` status updates in self-paced mode often not being shown because Claude wrote them only in its reasoning; Claude now writes each update, and the outcome when the loop stops, as visible text
388- Fixed `/ultrareview` failing to upload the working tree when started from a git worktree that the Claude desktop app created on macOS or Linux
389- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands failing to start on Linux when the working directory is write-denied and contains a read-denied directory
390- Fixed artifact database write results telling Claude that every viewer sees a write to a viewer's private `data/users/` subtree, and added a "view" level to `as_level`
391- Fixed the Claude apps gateway answering `431 Request Header Fields Too Large` to every request from a sign-in whose identity provider lists many groups; it now accepts request headers up to 256 KiB
392- Improved the usage-limit wait: the limit's state and the countdown with the usage-credits option now show as one block under the prompt, and limit messages no longer repeat the countdown
393- Improved the "No such tool available" error for Claude in Chrome tools called without their prefix: it now names the tool to call
394- Improved Monitor event rows to show what each event printed instead of repeating the description, and stopped repeating an unchanged "Waiting for N … to finish" line after every event
395- Improved Workflow tool sandbox hardening for errors thrown by async script hooks
396- Improved startup time and memory use by building only the parts of the settings schema that your settings files actually use
397- Improved `/claude-api`: `hillclimb` no longer spends rounds on prompt rewordings too small for the eval to measure, and an extra page you ask for beside `report.html` is built as one local file that loads nothing from the network
398- Improved lists such as `/tasks`, `/copy` and `/hooks`: the details after each name now line up in one column when they fit, and otherwise sit at the right edge
399- Improved `claude plugin marketplace add` to say when it replaces a marketplace already added under the same name from a different source, and how to undo it
400- Improved the startup refusal when managed settings require a sign-in (`forceLoginMethod` or `forceLoginOrgUUID`) and an API key, token or `apiKeyHelper` is configured: it now names the credential in use, where it is set, and how to remove it
401- Improved auto-memory loading: invisible characters and tags that imitate Claude Code's own markup are neutralized in `MEMORY.md` and recalled memory notes before they reach Claude
402- Improved `claude remote-control`: in a folder you haven't trusted yet, it now asks for workspace trust on the terminal instead of exiting
403- Improved artifact pages: Claude writes its design plan into the page instead of the reply, and uses the name you already gave something as the page title
404- Improved the Artifact tool so that when Claude is given a claude.ai chat or project link, an artifact from a chat, or an artifact id on its own, it asks for the right link or the content instead of stopping
405- Changed interactive terminal and VS Code sessions to start in auto mode when no permission mode is configured, on every plan and provider; `permissions.defaultMode` still overrides it
406- Changed Ultracode into its own toggle in `/effort` (Tab, or `/effort ultracode [on|off]`): it no longer forces xhigh effort and stays on at any effort level
407- Changed retries after a dropped connection mid-response to share one budget with the rest of the request's retries, so a failing request gives up sooner
408- Changed the notice shown when a Sonnet model's safeguards flag a message to explain why it happened and to offer editing and retrying
409- Changed safety-related model switches in sessions that pin an Opus model with `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` or `modelOverrides`: on the Anthropic API, the API now picks the model to switch to for each kind of flag, not the pinned model
410- Changed the non-interactive first turn to still wait up to 2s for connecting MCP servers named by `--allowedTools` or an `mcp_tool` hook, even when `CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_STARTUP_WAIT_MS` is `0`
411- Changed `/recap` to decline with a short notice when it arrives relayed from a chat thread (your own included) or from a routine or webhook; typed in the terminal, the Claude apps, Remote Control, `-p` or an SDK host, it runs as before
412- Changed `/artifacts` to show its filter tabs beside the title with one-word labels (All, Mine, Shared), using the same tab bar as `/config` and `/plugin`
413- Changed artifact publishing to refuse a file on a network share (a `\\host\share` path or a `/net` automount) unless it is on a mapped network drive added with `--add-dir`
414- [VSCode] Added an optional time above each prompt and response, with a date line where the day changes (Claude Code: Show Message Timestamps setting, off by default)
415- [VSCode] Added plugin load errors and notes to the Manage plugins rows, with a popup to disable, uninstall or copy the error
416- [VSCode] Added an Ultracode on/off switch under the Effort slider, replacing the slider's Ultracode stop; the model pill shows "· Ultracode" at any effort level
417- [VSCode] Fixed Reload Claude from the Memory dialog restarting before an edited file was saved
418- [VSCode] Fixed a restored tab opening a conversation another Claude process still has open; it now asks first
419- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view sections you expanded closing on their own while a sub-agent is working or when the section's first step is trimmed from view
420- [VSCode] Fixed typing `/model` and Enter printing usage text into the chat instead of opening the model selector
421- [VSCode] Fixed `/feedback` on Vertex, Bedrock and Foundry being refused after you pressed Send; the report is now saved on this computer, as the terminal does
422- [VSCode] Fixed sign-in waiting up to a minute for the Python extension after a window reload
423- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code tabs that stopped responding after Restart Extensions: they now reopen on their conversation
424- [VSCode] Fixed a message from another agent with no recorded sender showing as raw XML in the chat
425- [VSCode] Fixed messages from other agents, sessions or channels disappearing after a reload
426- [VSCode] Fixed a user's own `/mcp`, `/config` or `/settings` command being shadowed by the extension's dialog
427- [VSCode] Fixed Escape stopping every background agent when no turn was running
428- [VSCode] Fixed plugin install links replacing a marketplace you already have that uses the same name
429- [VSCode] Fixed "Prompt is too long" errors after compaction when a large text file is attached to a message
430- [VSCode] Fixed chat links to files with non-ASCII characters, spaces or brackets in their path not opening
431- [VSCode] Changed `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` in the `claudeCode.environmentVariables` setting to apply only when it is an absolute path, and passed it to terminals that continue the chat
432- [Cloud sessions] Fixed a routine's Edit and Duplicate controls saying the routine was still loading while you were offline; they now tell you you're offline
433- [Claude Tag] Added model family choices such as "Opus (latest)" for a thread, a channel default or your DM, so the choice follows the newest model in that family
434- [Claude Tag] Added the spend that counts toward your organization-wide limit to the analytics spend projection chart, with how much of the limit is used
435- [Claude Tag] Fixed the earlier Claude in Slack app's progress card and link previews omitting the repository and Create PR button when a GitHub Enterprise host name contains an underscore
436- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude staying silent in a channel whose environment declines to start it; it now posts one notice asking you to contact an admin, and retries when @-mentioned
437- [Claude Tag] Changed Claude to post its private sign-in notice at every @mention from someone who hasn't connected their Claude account, instead of going quiet after the first
438- [Claude Tag] Improved "Notify members now" in admin settings: one press reaches every workspace your organization claimed in an Enterprise Grid, and more members in large workspaces
439- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude's wait notice on self-hosted environments with on-demand runners: it now says whether a runner is starting, a start will be retried, or no runner will start
440- [Claude Tag] Improved the error shown when adding a channel manager fails because the channel's Slack workspace can't be confirmed as connected to your organization
441- [Claude Tag] Improved a channel's access lists in admin settings to show the connectors, repositories and plugins an auto-join pattern attaches, and where each comes from
442- [Claude Tag] Improved adding repositories as a channel manager: when your GitHub sign-in can't confirm you're a repository admin, the page asks you to sign in with GitHub
443- [Code Review] Fixed Code Review giving up without posting a finished review when an unsubmitted review under its GitHub App was open on the pull request; it now retries the post first
444
445## 2.1.283
446
447- Added `x-claude-code-prompt-id` to the gateway hint headers so LLM gateways can group the requests that serve one user prompt; opt in with `CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_HINT_HEADERS=1`
448- Added `availableModelsMatch` managed setting: with `"exact"`, an `availableModels` entry allows only the model version it names, so new releases stay blocked until listed
449- Added `deniedModels` managed setting to block specific models, even when `availableModels` allows them
450- Added MCP tool, WebFetch and WebSearch outputs to the `tool.output` OpenTelemetry span event when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_CONTENT=1`
451- Added `/doctor prompt-audit` (also `/checkup prompt-audit`) to audit your CLAUDE.md files, skills, agents and commands for prompting patterns written for older models
452- Added click-to-expand for truncated messages from your other sessions in fullscreen mode
453- Added `path` to `--plugin-dir` load-failure entries in the stream-json `system/init` `plugin_errors`, naming the directory that did not load
454- Added an opt-in `load_test_mode` block to the Claude apps gateway config: requests are built and signed but not sent upstream, and clients get a canned reply, so a deployment can be load tested
455- Added a `mantle` upstream provider to the Claude apps gateway for Amazon Bedrock's Mantle endpoint
456- Fixed SDK sessions losing a deferred tool call or finished tool result when a turn ended early, a held approval prompt after a worker restart, and a non-streaming fallback's `result.usage`
457- Fixed MCP progress notifications being discarded once a long-running tool call moved to the background; the background task now shows the latest progress
458- Fixed stdio MCP servers being left running when the session ended while they were still starting
459- Fixed a brief HTTP 404 from a stateless remote MCP server (for example a proxy mid-redeploy) leaving that server unusable for the rest of the session while still shown as connected
460- Fixed MCP sign-in for a server with no valid URL failing with an opaque SDK error; `/mcp` no longer offers Authenticate for such servers
461- Fixed the weekly Fable limit not appearing in `/usage` and the VS Code usage meters when telemetry is disabled
462- Fixed `/model` accepting Sonnet 4.6 or Sonnet 5 with `[1m]` when the id carried a date or `-v1:0` suffix, in the cases where the plain id was refused
463- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Haiku version and price when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL` pins a different model
464- Fixed dynamic workflows started during a model fallback running every agent on the fallback model instead of retrying the configured model
465- Fixed `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_HAIKU` having no effect when Haiku is the session's main model
466- Fixed `claude plugin validate` saying Claude Code accepts a plugin or marketplace name it cannot install; such names in `marketplace.json` now fail validation
467- Fixed `claude plugin validate` passing plugins whose `outputStyles`, `themes`, `monitors`, or `lspServers` paths are missing or point outside the plugin directory
468- Fixed `claude plugin details` showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare their servers in `plugin.json`
469- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace remove` not saying which installed plugins it uninstalled with the marketplace; it now lists them
470- Fixed `claude plugin uninstall` removing the other of two installed plugins whose ids differ only in case, with its options and secrets, when the one named had no `enabledPlugins` entry at that scope
471- Fixed plugins that declare no version being silently restored at their source's newest commit, not the installed one, when their cached files were missing
472- Fixed user-installed plugins and marketplaces failing to load with "cache-miss" after the home or config directory was moved, for example in bind-mounted devcontainers
473- Fixed `installed_plugins.json` showing no plugins when it holds a record under an invalid plugin id; such a file loads again
474- Fixed `installed_plugins.json` being rewritten, losing records, when it holds a record this version cannot read; `claude plugin` commands now name the record and say how to recover
475- Fixed permission dialogs in screen-reader mode reading quoted commands and paths as if they were the dialog's own text
476- Fixed `/context` not counting MCP server instructions: they now appear as their own row and count toward the total
477- Fixed markdown links in the Warp terminal rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
478- Fixed `claude mcp add`, `add-json`, and `remove` reporting success when the user or local config file could not be written, for example inside a sandbox
479- Fixed the first words of a reply in a cloud session sometimes appearing late instead of streaming as Claude writes them
480- Fixed Claude's built-in keybindings guide saying chords time out after 1 second instead of 3, and calling `cmd` an alias of `meta`, which could produce `cmd+` shortcuts most terminals never send
481- Fixed `keybindings.json` silently accepting a misspelled modifier such as `ctl+k`; it now warns in the debug log and suggests the fix
482- Fixed footer hints still saying "Enter to view" after `footer:openSelected` was rebound or unbound in `keybindings.json`
483- Fixed keys typed quickly together (type-ahead, key repeat, bursts over ssh or tmux) sometimes being handled against stale state
484- Fixed worktree checkouts failing certificate verification (for example on Git LFS downloads) when the CA certificate is passed to git as `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT` environment pairs
485- Fixed sandboxed `git` asking credential helpers to store the sandbox proxy's login, which printed "failed to store"
486- Fixed managed `sandbox` settings being ignored entirely when one nested value was invalid; the invalid value now fails closed and the rest of the block still applies
487- Fixed Claude's edits to its own auto-memory notes being blocked as sensitive-file writes when Claude Code was started in a subdirectory of a git repository
488- Fixed Remote Control being unavailable on paid plans when telemetry is turned off with `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` or `DO_NOT_TRACK`
489- Fixed the `/remote-control` menu cutting its QR-code hint mid-word in narrow terminals
490- Fixed vim mode `.` dropping a Shift+Enter newline, leaving the cursor inside an accented letter, and repeating an older change after `3J` or Visual-mode `J` on the last line
491- Fixed vim mode cursor placement: recalling a prompt over 10,000 characters in normal mode no longer leaves the cursor past the end, and `V` then `p` now lands on the first non-blank
492- Fixed vim mode `J` joining lines with different spacing than Vim (such as a space before `)` or after a tab), and `3J` or Visual-mode `J` on the last line not moving the cursor as Vim does
493- Windows: Fixed the PowerShell tool letting `cmd /c rd`, `rmdir`, `del` or `erase` delete drive roots, the home folder and other folders that `Remove-Item` refuses
494- Improved the `/mcp` tool list: it shows more tools at once, scrolls with the page keys and mouse, and marks tools your organization blocked with a warning icon
495- Improved MCP tool results: images returned by MCP tools are now also saved to a file, so Bash, Read and other tools can open them
496- Improved `/tasks`: rows show a status icon, the name and whole facts, the title and key hints stay on screen with many tasks, and the list gains paging keys, the mouse wheel and clicks
497- Improved lists in `/help`, `/hooks`, `/copy`, `/chrome`, `/memory`, `/ide`, `/release-notes`, `/rewind`, `/diff`, `/remote-env`, `/plugin` and other pickers with page keys, mouse wheel and clicks
498- Improved lists beside a search box, such as `/skills` and `/artifacts`, to draw their pointer dim while the search box has the keys, so only one pointer is highlighted
499- Improved the compaction spinner: its timer now starts when compaction begins and it counts the summary's tokens as they stream, replacing the percentage bar
500- Improved the browser page shown after signing in to an MCP server: centered layout, dark mode, and new artwork
501- Improved the Skill tool's reply when a skill belongs to a plugin that failed to load, so Claude tells you the plugin could not be loaded instead of calling the skill uninstalled
502- Improved `prompt-audit` on Claude Code configuration: stale paths, stale commands and contradicting instruction files now lead the report, and thinking keywords that Claude Code documents are kept
503- Improved recovery from an `installed_plugins.json` that cannot be read at all: its contents are kept in a file beside it before it is rebuilt, and `claude plugin list` names that file
504- Improved artifact database reads: an ordered query that returns a full page now says it is one page and how to read the rest
505- Improved first-reply latency: a pattern-compile step that ran at the end of a session's first reply now runs while the reply streams in
506- Improved first-request latency by reusing the preconnected API connection
507- Improved startup: `claude -p` and Claude Code Remote no longer load the interactive UI, and the auto-mode classifier's rules and the Artifact tool load on first use instead of at launch
508- Improved startup for claude.ai accounts whose Artifact tool features aren't known yet, as on a first run: the prompt no longer waits up to 1.5 s to check them; the first message waits if needed
509- Changed interactive sessions on third-party providers or with telemetry off to start in auto mode when no permission mode is configured; `permissions.defaultMode` still overrides it
510- Changed the `/ultrareview` launch dialog to say that reviewing a local branch may upload uncommitted changes to tracked files
511- Changed the `/model` picker's Opus row and the Default model's name to drop "(1M context)" where Opus already has a 1M context window; the window is unchanged
512- Changed prompt suggestions in the terminal to appear less often after 20 in a row go unused; using one brings them back
513- Changed `--system-prompt` and `--append-system-prompt` to accept their text and `-file` forms together; the file's text comes first
514- Changed `Skill(anthropic-skills:<name>)` deny rules to also block that skill when Claude Desktop delivers it as a plugin, and `Skill(skill:<name>)` denies to match the skill's alias and display name
515- Changed `/rewind` and `/diff` lists to move on the same keybinding actions as every other list (`select:*`); `messageSelector:*`/`diff:*` rebinds still work
516- Changed the `/workflows` run list to size itself like other lists: half the terminal inline, and it keeps its title on screen when the prompt shows below
517- Changed `claude plugin eval` to require git 2.31 or later when git is installed; a run on an older git is refused with a message naming the version
518- Changed artifact watching: a watch that was armed automatically (not one you asked for) now ends after 3.5 hours with no activity; publishing or watching the artifact again re-arms it
519- Self-hosted runner: Changed lifecycle hooks' git to skip a repository's Git LFS `pre-push` hook, ignore a writable system `core.hooksPath`, and not sign commits without `--configure-git`
520- Self-hosted runner: Changed `GIT_SSL_CAINFO` and `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` under Anthropic-managed git: the runner's own git always verifies Anthropic's git route, and warning lines say what applies where
521- Reverted the 2.1.282 reservation of the `claude-ai` name: skills, commands, workflows and MCP servers' skills and prompts so named load again, and `Skill(claude-ai:*)` rules are ordinary prefix rules
522- [VSCode] Fixed the permission mode indicator showing Default while the session kept running in auto or bypass mode after an automatic switch out of it failed; the switch is now retried until it lands
523- [VSCode] Fixed a session teleported from the web dropping the messages sent while Claude was working
524- [VSCode] Fixed a Web session staying hidden from the session list, and an empty chat opening in its place, when an older version had saved an empty local copy of it
525- [VSCode] Fixed a reopened session splitting a turn at a message Claude received mid-turn, such as an automatic continuation
526- [VSCode] Fixed a reloaded session showing a rewound-away turn, or only the rows before a compaction
527- [VSCode] Fixed the footer's agents pill drawing its icon off-center, with the status dot against the edge, in narrow panels
528- [VSCode] Fixed the chat input showing its text slightly below the cursor and selection after pasting lines that end with a line break into a long prompt
529- [Cloud sessions] Improved adding a repository to a running cloud session: a private repository your GitHub account can read but not push to now attaches for reading
530- [Cloud sessions] Fixed cloud sessions occasionally redoing an already-finished step, such as posting a duplicate comment or push, after recovering from a server-side restart
531- [Cloud sessions] Changed new routine schedules to default to a few minutes past the hour, with a note that routines set exactly on the hour can start several minutes late
532- [Claude Tag] Added a "Channels Claude can search" admin setting that limits Claude's Slack search to public channels it has been added to, set per organization, workspace or channel
533- [Claude Tag] Added a Back to Slack button on the page shown after connecting your Claude account, returning you to the thread you started from
534- [Claude Tag] Fixed a channel's configure page listing no connectors or plugins when the channel gets its access bundle through an attach rule; rule-attached bundles are now shown
535- [Claude Tag] Fixed access-bundle repository search missing repositories on GitHub App installs that are limited to a large list of selected repositories
536- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude occasionally posting the same reply twice when a new message interrupted it mid-reply
537- [Claude Tag] Fixed channel routines that stopped running in older private channels whose Slack channel ID changed, for example after a Slack Connect share
538- [Claude Tag] Fixed conversations in a channel set to "Channel only" all ending when a non-guest member joined and Slack was slow to confirm their membership
539- [Code Review] Fixed "@claude review" requests going silent when GitHub failed to return the pull request: the request is retried once, and a comment explains if it still fails
540- [Code Review] Fixed billing for a review that stopped at its time limit with nothing verified: it now shows as incomplete, isn't charged, and is retried once
541
542## 2.1.282
543
544- Added a `maxProseWidth` setting that caps the width of Claude's prose in wide terminals while tables and code blocks keep the full width
545- Added a startup notice, and `/status` and `claude doctor` entries, listing telemetry variables in a project's settings files that were ignored or that turned telemetry off
546- Added the `allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp` managed setting to let `claude --chrome` run alongside an exclusive `managed-mcp.json`; the error shown when Chrome is blocked now names it
547- Added `store.readiness_grace_seconds` to the Claude apps gateway so `/readyz` can stay ready through a short Postgres outage such as a database failover
548- Added a scrollbar to the `/feedback` drafts list in fullscreen mode; it appears while the mouse is over the list
549- Fixed every request failing with a 400 error in conversations whose history holds web search results the API cannot decrypt (for example, from a turn answered through a third-party gateway)
550- Fixed more cases of continued or resumed sessions (`--continue`, `--resume`) re-sending earlier messages in a changed form, which could make the API drop Claude's earlier reasoning
551- Fixed earlier extended thinking being dropped when `/model`, `/rename`, `/artifacts` or another immediate slash command was used while Claude was working
552- Fixed continued or resumed conversations losing earlier extended thinking when relaunched with a `--tools` list that leaves out a built-in tool offered earlier in the conversation
553- Fixed sessions failing on every turn with an "Invalid `data` in `redacted_thinking` block" API error; Claude Code now drops the conversation's thinking blocks and retries once
554- Fixed compaction failing when the summarization request is refused; it now retries on a fallback model
555- Fixed a failed turn ("Effort 'xhigh' isn't available with thinking turned off") after a safety-related model switch in sessions with thinking off and effort above high
556- Fixed an unanswered Fable usage-credits prompt switching models in SDK-hosted sessions such as Claude Desktop; the turn now ends instead, and Remote Control clients now see the model-switch notice
557- Fixed `/model` with a full Fable model id stopping at an API error instead of opening the usage-credits prompt when the plan needs usage credits that aren't turned on yet
558- Fixed requests failing for up to a minute with an "another Claude Code process is refreshing it" login error after that other process was closed or killed mid-refresh
559- Fixed sessions started while another Claude Code window was refreshing the sign-in (common with several VS Code windows) not retrying their organization policy fetch
560- Fixed CLAUDE.md and rules being read at startup through a repository symlink reaching macOS's `/Network` via `..` or a `/.vol`-style kernel path, or a rules link to macOS's `/home` being listed
561- Fixed Bash permission rules with a mid-pattern `:*` being skipped in settings files while `--allowedTools` honored them; they now work from every source, with a startup warning on how they match
562- Fixed a command approved on a restored permission prompt running twice when a remote session's worker restarted
563- Fixed managed settings ignoring a mistyped value for boolean lock keys such as `disableClaudeAiConnectors` or `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`; the lock now applies and startup names the key
564- Fixed managed `permissions`, `autoMode`, `worktree` and `attribution` settings being ignored entirely when one nested value was invalid; the rest of the block now still applies
565- Fixed repository, user and `--add-dir` skills, commands and skills-directory plugin manifests pre-approving their own tools via `allowed-tools` under managed `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`
566- Fixed safeguard block messages on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle not showing a request ID; block messages now also show the message ID
567- Vertex AI: Fixed web search not being offered for models Claude Code doesn't recognize yet, such as newly released ones
568- Fixed Bash and PowerShell hiding a full disk quota behind "Exit code 1" and leaving large output files in temp
569- Fixed tool input validation errors naming only an unknown, missing or mistyped parameter when other parameters in the same call were also invalid; those are now listed too
570- Fixed pasted multi-line text being submitted line by line after the terminal's bracketed paste mode was reset mid-session
571- Fixed the prompt's example text flashing and disappearing at startup in projects with a `SessionStart` hook
572- Fixed a blank screen flashing before the first frame when starting in fullscreen mode
573- Fixed garbled, misplaced rows in the non-fullscreen renderer after the screen got shorter while still taller than the terminal, e.g. deleting a prompt line while a shell command streams output
574- Fixed a stale character left in the last column of a diff when a redrawn line's CJK character or emoji wrapped to the next row
575- Fixed the cursor landing before the end of a prompt recalled from history when the prompt contains a tab
576- Fixed the send-now hint showing ctrl+enter on terminals that send it as a newline (Windows Terminal before 1.25); it now shows ctrl+x ctrl+s there
577- Fixed `claude remote-control --debug` failing with "Unknown argument: --debug", although Remote Control's own eligibility error says to run with `--debug`
578- Fixed `/install-github-app` saying "cancelled" and then still pushing the branch and saving the API key secret; leaving now stops the remaining steps and reports what was already done
579- Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share on Bedrock, Vertex and other third-party providers still saving the report file after you cancelled during the save
580- Fixed plugin uninstall reporting success and deleting the plugin's saved options when its settings file still enabled it or could not be read; it now stops and names the file
581- Fixed plugin uninstall deleting a plugin's saved options and secrets when the list of installed plugins could not be read after the removal; they are now kept and the uninstall says so
582- Fixed a key typed right after `/` in `/skills` moving the skill list instead of reaching the search box
583- Fixed the terminal cursor jumping from the `/skills` search box to the skill list while typing, which could hide the caret and put IME input in the wrong place
584- Fixed lists with a scrollbar, such as `/skills` and `/mcp`, being two columns narrower outside fullscreen mode, where the scrollbar can never appear
585- Fixed the agent panel footer wrapping onto two lines with long rebound keys, and its "Esc to collapse" hint ignoring a rebound collapse key
586- Fixed a doubled ` · ` separator in the `/tasks` dialog footer when the stop-all-agents shortcut is unbound in `keybindings.json`
587- Fixed artifact publishes failing when Claude gave the version a label longer than 60 characters; the label is now shortened
588- Fixed screen-reader mode, quoted lists and very long lists dropping the blank lines at the top of a code block that opens a list item, directly or inside a quote
589- Fixed PDF page-read error messages: paths with accented or non-Latin characters now appear readably, and a folder named like "password" or "invalid" can no longer make the error name the wrong cause
590- Fixed vim mode `>>` indenting empty lines, `r` with a count longer than the line changing text, `2J` joining one line too many, and a count on the last line (`2dd`, `2>>`) shifting or deleting it
591- Fixed vim mode cursor placement: after `dd`, `dj`, `dG` or a whole-line `p`/`P` it lands on the first non-blank, `yy` no longer moves it, and Esc after an emoji no longer leaves it inside the emoji
592- Fixed vim mode ignoring a count typed before `.` when repeating `x`, `s`, `p`, `d` or `c`, and whole-line `p`/`P`, `o`, `O`, `J`, `>>` and `<<` acting on the wrong line when a line above wraps
593- Fixed vim mode leaving the cursor past the end of a prompt recalled from history or pulled back from the queue in normal mode, so `x` did nothing
594- Improved the time to resume very large sessions, including ones that were never compacted
595- Improved the error shown on Windows when a session can't be resumed because its transcript file could not be read (EBADF): it now names possible causes and what to try
596- Improved the Claude Desktop unknown-model error to suggest switching to a different model
597- Improved rendering of unusual Unicode in permission prompts
598- Improved `/artifacts`: titles line up in one column, details are dropped whole instead of cut mid-word, and the list supports PgUp/PgDn, Home/End, the mouse wheel and clicks
599- Updated the `claude-api` skill: pre-output refusal billing now links to the How refusals are billed docs, mid-stream refusals bill at normal rates, and pre-output refusals count against rate limits
600- Updated the `claude-api` skill to recommend `ant apply` for keeping Managed Agents resources as version-controlled files
601- Changed auto mode to use the server-side classifier by default on a direct Anthropic API connection when telemetry is off (`CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0` opts out)
602- Changed `sandbox.excludedCommands` to ignore project and local settings entries when managed settings or `--settings` set `allowUnsandboxedCommands: false`, or managed `allowManagedDomainsOnly: true`
603- Changed project and local settings to ignore OpenTelemetry variables that turn on export, set its endpoint, or capture content, like `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` and `OTEL_LOG_*`
604- Changed Windows/WSL managed settings so an admin policy that is present but invalid or unreadable (HKLM, `managed-settings.json`) keeps user-writable HKCU and WSL `/etc/claude-code` from applying
605- Changed `Skill(anthropic-skills:*)` and `Skill(claude-ai:*)` allow rules to cover only skills synced from claude.ai, not plugins or other skills that merely use such a name
606- Changed skill folders, command files and workflow commands in the `anthropic-skills` or `claude-ai` namespace to no longer load; a plugin so named still loads but yields name ties to synced skills
607- Changed MCP servers configured under the name `anthropic-skills` or `claude-ai` to list no skills or prompts (their tools still work); rename the server in your MCP configuration to list them again
608- Changed the `ultracode` visuals in `/effort` and the prompt input to plain styling (no ripple, border flourish or keyword glimmer) and removed the dynamic-workflows spinner tip
609- Changed the Clawd mascot's feet in the start-up banner to sit under the corners of his body
610- [VSCode] Fixed long replies falling behind the stream: the panel no longer re-parses the whole reply on every update
611- [VSCode] Fixed the dictation mic button covering the message input's scrollbar when the input is tall enough to scroll
612- [VSCode] Fixed Remote Control sessions started on this computer not opening from their Web entry in the session list; they now open the local conversation unless it's running elsewhere
613- [VSCode] Fixed an editor tab's sign-in screen hanging silently after the extension host restarts; it now shows the "stopped responding" notice too
614- [Cloud sessions] Added Claude GitHub App status to Settings › Connectors › GitHub: whether the app is installed and reachable for your account, plus steps to connect, install or reconnect
615- [Cloud sessions] Added "Open repository" and "Open compare page" links to the repository menu of a cloud session whose repository is hosted on a Git server other than GitHub
616- [Cloud sessions] Added attaching a repository from a different GitHub owner, such as a fork's upstream, to a running cloud session that already has one, including sessions started from Slack
617- [Cloud sessions] Fixed the next run time shown for an hourly routine being 30 minutes off for people in half-hour-offset time zones such as India
618- [Cloud sessions] Improved how quickly the Routines page and the sidebar's Scheduled list load for accounts whose past sessions scheduled many check-in reminders
619- [Claude Tag] Fixed auto-join channel patterns saved for one workspace in Claude Tag admin settings being ignored on an Enterprise Grid org-wide install; Claude now joins matching new channels
620- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude not responding in an Enterprise Grid channel shared between two workspaces of one organization when the channel's Claude Tag version was saved from the other workspace
621- [Claude Tag] Fixed the earlier Claude in Slack app's progress card for sessions on a GitHub Enterprise Server repository: it now names the repository and offers a working Create PR button
622- [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack threads whose model has been retired falling back to another model on every reply, slower and with a fallback note each time; the thread now moves to a working model
623- [Claude Tag] Fixed files Claude uploads to Slack not being able to carry a caption containing a table; captions now render with the same formatting as replies
624- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude's threads in Slack's Agents & tools view sometimes being listed under their first message instead of their name; later renames now update the list too
625- [Claude Tag] Fixed removing a GitHub organization's grant from an access bundle's Repositories tab in Claude Tag admin settings failing to save after that GitHub organization was disconnected
626- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude always replying "Couldn't check this channel just now" in a channel shared with a Grid workspace it isn't added to; the notice now says which workspace needs the app
627- [Claude Tag] Fixed the cost and token totals in Claude's reply footer reading many times too high after the session's cloud worker restarted
628- [Claude Tag] Changed the bordered cards Claude uses in Slack replies for plans, tables and details to render wide by default instead of a narrow width
629- [Claude Tag] Changed newly connected Slack workspaces to follow the current default model instead of keeping whichever model was the default when they were connected
630
631## 2.1.281
632
633- Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in `desktop` policy blocks, including `blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` and `disableBypassPermissionsMode`
634- Added `assume_role` on Claude apps gateway Bedrock upstreams: the gateway calls Bedrock as an IAM role it assumes through STS, in another AWS account if needed, optionally one session per developer
635- Added `guardrail: {id, version}` on Claude apps gateway Bedrock upstreams to apply an Amazon Bedrock guardrail to every request sent through them (set it on all Bedrock upstreams or none)
636- Added `telemetry.resource_attributes` to the Claude apps gateway config, to put fixed labels on the telemetry of Claude Desktop and `/login` sessions
637- Added `"attribution": false` in `settings.json` to hide all commit and PR attribution; older CLI versions skip a settings file that holds it, so keep the object form in files shared across versions
638- Added MCP URL-mode elicitation on 2026-07-28 protocol connections, so servers can ask Claude Code to open a browser-based flow; no waiting dialog is left on screen when the server has no way to confirm completion
639- Added MCP server checks to `claude plugin validate`: it reports `.mcp.json` entries that would be silently dropped at load, undeclared `${user_config.*}` references, and insecure URLs
640- Added an auto mode recommendation to `/insights` that estimates how many permission prompts auto mode could have handled in your recent sessions
641- Added a scrollbar to the `/skills`, `/mcp` and `/plugin` Installed lists in fullscreen mode, like the one `/workflows` now has: it appears while the mouse is over the list and can be clicked or dragged
642- Fixed a crash ("unrecoverable interface error") that could end a session while an API request was being retried
643- Fixed a turn that could retry indefinitely, ignoring `--max-turns`, when the model alternated unparseable tool calls and output-limit truncation
644- Fixed resumed sessions re-sending earlier turns in a changed form (a parallel tool-call turn, an MCP tool call's input or a tool-search result while its server was still reconnecting, or a tool-search result whose loading turn was interrupted), which could make the API drop the conversation's prior reasoning
645- Fixed resuming a very large session sometimes restoring only its last few messages
646- Fixed a session resumed after a restart during a pending permission prompt sending a different history than before, which broke the prompt cache from that point
647- Fixed resuming a session that ended during a tool call: Claude now sees the call and is told its outcome is unknown, and a manual resume no longer adds a hidden "Continue" message
648- Fixed sessions with an earlier advisor result the API could no longer read failing one request every turn and repeatedly losing earlier reasoning; the history is now repaired once
649- Fixed the prompt cache being lost when an MCP server disconnects mid-conversation, or is still connecting after a resume, while tool search is off (for example behind a proxy or gateway)
650- Fixed responses cut short by a proxy or gateway that closes the stream cleanly being shown as complete with no warning, and tool calls running twice on duplicated stream events
651- Fixed responses failing with "Content block not found" when a proxy drops a stream event mid-response; the partial response is now kept, and web search keeps results that already arrived
652- Fixed an empty completed response being requested twice when the connection dropped before the stream's final event
653- Fixed the stop reason being lost when a proxy sends a trailing usage-only frame
654- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` sessions failing on the first 5xx or dropped connection after a run of 429/529 waits, and sleeping uncapped and silently on a long `Retry-After` from a 5xx
655- Fixed fast mode retrying rate-limited requests back to back when the server sent `Retry-After: 0`
656- Fixed a tool that returned an oversized image leaving sibling tool calls unanswered and still running, or ending the turn with no final message
657- Fixed conversations getting permanently stuck on "tool_use.name: String should have at most 200 characters" after the model called a tool by an overlong name
658- Fixed tool calls failing with "Failed to get memory usage", or being reported as failed after they ran, when Claude Code cannot read its own memory usage, for example when it has run out of file descriptors
659- Fixed `--input-format stream-json` sessions (Agent SDK, VS Code extension) and scheduled cloud sessions failing every turn with an error when an earlier assistant message had plain-string content
660- Fixed non-interactive sessions (`-p`, Agent SDK) failing on the next turn after the directory they were started in was deleted mid-session
661- Fixed headless sessions with host-side (SDK) MCP servers stalling on the first message when the host stops responding mid-handshake; remote sessions now wait a few seconds at most
662- Fixed interactive startup waiting on the managed-settings network request (about 80 ms, 17+ seconds when the network is unreachable) when no MCP servers or plugins are configured
663- Fixed a delay of up to two minutes before responding when reading or @-mentioning a PDF larger than 3 MB
664- Fixed an interrupted Read of specific PDF pages leaving its page render running for up to two minutes
665- Fixed permission dialogs and attachment checks reading a path under macOS's `/.vol`, `/.nofollow` or `/.resolve` (which can reach a network mount) before approval
666- Fixed a recursive `rm` whose target is only command-substitution output, such as `rm -rf "$(pwd)"`, running unprompted in auto and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` mode; it now asks even with a Bash allow rule, unless run with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_SUBSTITUTION_RM_PROMPT=1`
667- Fixed a permission rule containing a NUL byte being expanded into a wildcard match; such a rule now matches nothing
668- Fixed sandbox `excludedCommands` entries not matching `git rev-parse --git-dir`, programs named like shell builtins, and commit messages containing `[WIP]` or `#` lines
669- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands being unable to write to `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set
670- Fixed `claude --bg` starting a background session, and running its project hooks, in a directory that had not passed the workspace trust prompt; it now asks for trust first, or exits when not run interactively
671- Fixed `--setting-sources` (and SDK `settingSources`) not being forwarded to spawned sessions: teammates, `/bg`, `claude agents` sessions and `--worktree --tmux` now start with the parent's restriction
672- Fixed Read, Write, Edit and NotebookEdit: a file path containing a null byte now fails that tool call with a clear error instead of ending the whole turn
673- Fixed Write refusing a call that gives the file path or content twice under two parameter names with identical values
674- Fixed CLAUDE.md and rules files from an `--add-dir` directory inside the working directory being sent to the model twice in headless and SDK sessions
675- Fixed remote sessions staying on "needs approval" with a stale prompt after a permission prompt and a sandbox network-access prompt overlapped and both were answered
676- Fixed cloud sessions not telling Claude about background agents that finished just before a worker restart
677- Fixed scheduled routine and notification turns in remote sessions not receiving turn-start notices (newly available tools, MCP changes, date, todos) until after the first tool call
678- Fixed scheduled tasks and `/loop` wakeups being fired again every second when their delivery failed, which could make Claude Code exit at the end of a turn
679- Fixed Remote Control reporting "disabled by your organization's policy" when the org policy simply hadn't loaded yet; it now retries the fetch and says it couldn't verify
680- Fixed the Artifact tool missing from Remote Control sessions that `claude remote-control` starts for you to open from Claude Desktop, claude.ai or the mobile app
681- Fixed macOS credential writes dropping stored MCP OAuth tokens or deleting the keychain entry when the login keychain was locked (e.g. right after wake)
682- Fixed `gcpAuthRefresh`/`awsAuthRefresh` login processes being left running (and holding their localhost callback port on Windows) when Claude Code exits or the refresh times out
683- Fixed the "Not logged in · Run /login" footer and missing claude.ai connectors persisting in a session after logging in from another Claude Code process
684- Fixed `mcp_tool` hooks on blocking events (PreToolUse and similar) being skipped while their MCP server was still connecting; they now wait for it, up to the MCP connect timeout
685- Fixed the same MCP server being connected twice when a plugin or claude.ai connector and a configured server spell its URL differently (host letter case, default port, trailing slash)
686- Fixed `MCP_CONNECTION_NONBLOCKING=0` giving up on claude.ai connectors after 1s instead of honoring `MCP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS`
687- Fixed `--channels` plugin entries being checked against the installed plugin's marketplace alone; the installed plugin's name must now match the entry as well
688- Fixed `--plugin-dir` on a folder of plugins that also has a `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` loading one empty plugin instead of the plugins in it
689- Fixed `claude plugin uninstall` refusing to remove a project-scope plugin that isn't enabled, saying it is "enabled at project scope" while `claude plugin disable` says it is already disabled
690- Fixed `claude plugin update` failing for project-scoped plugins when `--scope` is omitted — it now resolves the scope the plugin is installed at instead of assuming user
691- Fixed `claude plugin validate` reporting `privacyPolicyUrl`, `supportUrl` and other listing metadata keys in plugin.json as unknown fields
692- Fixed `known_marketplaces.json` recording a marketplace as refreshed when its remote could not be reached and `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE` kept the existing clone
693- Fixed the `/plugin` Errors tab showing no confirmation after its last error is resolved
694- Fixed `/plugin` starting a second uninstall or update of the same plugin when Enter was pressed again while the first was still running
695- Fixed a `y` held while `/plugin` checks a marketplace source adding the marketplace the instant the "Add marketplace?" question appears, before it can be read
696- Fixed `1` answering Yes in `/permissions`' delete and remove-directory confirms while the pointer is on No, which let a held `1` remove one workspace directory after another
697- Fixed Alt+T and `/config` offering to turn thinking off on models that can't; thinking now stays on there, with a one-line reason in place of the switch
698- Fixed `/context` total leaving out messages added since the last response; it now matches its categories and can read higher than the status line
699- Fixed `/model` showing the raw API error JSON and request ID when the API refuses the picked model; it now shows the server's message and says the model was not changed
700- Fixed API errors from an HTML error page (such as a proxy's 429 or 502 page) printing the page's raw markup or leaving out the HTTP status, and error messages breaking onto a second line when the server's error text ended in a newline
701- Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share still sending your report after you cancelled it while it was being sent
702- Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share failing every send with "Couldn't send feedback" after a Remote Control Stop arrived while the dialog was open
703- Fixed `/ide` showing "No available IDEs detected" while also listing a running IDE
704- Fixed the terminal being left in a broken state (crash or garbled input) when `/setup-bedrock` or `/setup-vertex` restarts Claude Code to apply new settings
705- Fixed `/config` exiting when `respectGitignore` or `copyFullResponse` in `~/.claude.json` holds `null`
706- Fixed the session name from /rename disappearing while Claude asks a multiple-choice question, so side-by-side sessions stay identifiable
707- Fixed one-line pastes showing on their own lines in the sent message for prompts from VS Code or Remote Control and for expanded paste placeholders
708- Fixed a message queued while Claude is working losing or changing the IDE selection it was written with, and queued messages not showing their selection
709- Fixed pressing Shift+Tab twice quickly landing on the wrong permission mode
710- Fixed Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D pressed twice quitting Claude Code instead of closing the dialog in the remaining dialogs and pickers, such as `/memory`, `/hooks`, `/mcp` (including a server's sign-in screen), `/export`, `/copy`, `/theme`, and `/teleport`'s uncommitted-changes and login prompts (where Esc also quit)
711- Fixed keys that arrive in one burst of input (e.g. over Remote Control), such as an arrow key followed by Enter, `x` or `s`, acting on the previous selection: a stale effort level in `/effort` and the model picker, and the previously highlighted row in `/skills`, the background task rows under the prompt, MCP server prompts and `/install-github-app`
712- Fixed `/install-github-app` updating the workflow after "Skip workflow update" was chosen, running setup twice on a repeated Enter, and ↑ on the repository step blocking a typed repository name when no repository was detected
713- Fixed vim mode: `dj`/`dk`/`dG`/`dgg` and their `c`/`y` forms acting on part of a line; `1G` going to the last line; `d0`/`c0`/`y0` doing nothing; the cursor being off by one after `.` repeats an insert; and `o`/`p` on a `!`-prefixed line switching to shell mode
714- Fixed vim mode `cw` on a space, an empty line, a word's last letter or a one-letter word also changing the next word; word motions stopping inside words in Hindi, Bengali and other scripts; and `.`, `p` or `P` that inserts text starting with `!` switching to shell mode, losing text or editing the wrong character
715- Fixed the prompt cursor moving one character too far after an accent typed as its own key
716- Fixed an extra blank line above a list item whose text starts on the line after its bullet, in screen-reader mode, quoted lists and long lists
717- Fixed bulleted lists of plain numbers (like `- 316.`) showing as letters, roman numerals or the wrong numbers
718- Fixed the agent panel's footer hint ignoring keys rebound in `keybindings.json`, and showing a stray ` · ` when the stop-all-agents shortcut is unbound
719- Fixed the agent panel footer offering "Enter to view" and "x to stop" on the agent you are already viewing (where x types into its input), and "Enter to view" on the main row when main is already shown
720- Fixed a mouse click on an agent-panel row leaving the keyboard cursor on the previously selected row
721- Fixed Esc interrupting the running turn instead of deselecting the selected agent-panel row
722- Fixed PgUp and PgDn doing nothing in a dialog's list (for example `/skills`) in fullscreen mode
723- Fixed `/heapdump` summary saying most memory is native when it is in the JS heap snapshot
724- Fixed Bash edit-diff snapshot directories piling up in the temp folder: abandoned ones are now deleted right away and the rest when Claude Code exits
725- Fixed /workflows moving the pointer to a different run, and `x` stopping it, when a new run started while the list was open
726- Fixed the selected tab in tabbed dialogs (`/config`, `/plugin`, `/permissions`) showing no highlight while the tab bar has focus when color is off (`NO_COLOR`)
727- Fixed the mouse wheel over the `/plugin` Installed list scrolling the pane behind it instead of the list
728- Fixed the hover highlight lingering on a list row in fullscreen mode after scrolling or filtering moved it away from the mouse
729- Fixed long list rows, such as in the /remote-control menu, wrapping onto a second line in narrow terminals; they're now cut with …
730- Fixed `/hooks` and `/mcp` detail views printing a long value over the row below it in narrow terminals
731- Fixed lists such as a skill's state options in `/plugin` not being answerable by typing a number in screen-reader mode
732- Windows: Fixed Bash commands that write to `$TMPDIR/…` failing with "Permission denied"
733- Windows: Fixed a race in which Claude Code sessions updating at the same moment could delete each other's `claude.exe` backup, which could leave no `claude.exe` behind
734- Improved Claude Desktop sign-in and usage-limit error messages to point at the app instead of terminal commands
735- Improved startup: managed settings and policy fetches no longer retry requests that can never succeed
736- Improved interactive startup time: git reads, startup telemetry and the Bedrock/Vertex model-upgrade checks no longer run before the first frame
737- Improved the time to resume long sessions that read many files; the restored file cache now matches the files as they were read
738- Improved the time to resume very long sessions that have been compacted, most noticeably through the Agent SDK and Claude Desktop
739- Improved "Prompt is too long" recovery in sessions dominated by one very large first prompt: that prompt is now summarized on its own instead of being left out of the summary
740- Improved auto mode after resuming a session in a new process: the permission classifier can now reuse its earlier prompt cache instead of rewriting it
741- Improved the auto mode denial message so Claude treats a denial as covering the outcome, not only the exact command
742- Improved the dangerous-rm check to also flag a removal at a shell variable followed by a top-level directory name, at a variable derived from the working directory, or at a backslash-only target
743- Improved sandbox guidance on macOS: when a local dev server can't bind a port, Claude now points to `sandbox.network.allowLocalBinding`
744- Improved `--agents` to accept the path to a JSON file (with `-p`) as well as inline JSON, and to allow an empty `prompt`
745- Improved `/batch` to run where a WorktreeCreate hook provides the agent worktrees, not only inside a git repository
746- Improved plugin hook-failure errors to name the offending plugin, and added a `claude plugin validate` warning when a shell-form hook leaves `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` unquoted (it breaks on plugin paths with spaces)
747- Improved the `/` menu, `/skills`, `/context` and the `/plugin` Installed list to show skills synced from claude.ai by their short name when no other command uses it, not `anthropic-skills:<name>`
748- Improved `/deep-research` reliability on long research briefs by removing unused required fields from the scope step's output
749- Improved the writing in published artifact pages: the bundled artifact-design skill now asks Claude for plain, direct prose
750- Improved artifact publishing on slow connections: large page uploads are now sent compressed
751- Improved the large CLAUDE.md startup notice to also count instruction files together, so many mid-sized files and @-imports are caught
752- Improved debug logs to name settings `env` variables ignored because the session's launch environment already sets them
753- Improved keyboard navigation in tabbed dialogs such as `/permissions` and `/usage`: ↑/↓ move focus between the tab row and the content, and a list responds to keys only while it has focus
754- Improved `/help` and `/sandbox`: ←/→ and Tab switch tabs from inside a tab's list, and ↓ on an empty Custom commands tab in `/help` no longer leaves the keys stuck until Esc
755- Improved `/install-github-app`, `/desktop`, the `/permissions` auto mode environment prompts, and the `/plugin` "Add marketplace?" and "Run this command?" prompts: they now use the standard dialog frame with key hints, and Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D cancels them on the second press like other dialogs
756- Improved the `/workflows` and `/mcp` lists: they page (PgUp/PgDn, Home/End) and take j/k and the mouse like other lists, their arrows follow `select:previous`/`select:next` rebinds, and `x` in `/workflows` stops the run the pointer is on
757- Improved the `/plugin` plugin and marketplace details menus and the `/remote-control` already-connected menu: they now support Home/End and clicking a row
758- Improved the background workflow row below the prompt: it now shows the name, a progress bar, the agent count on wide terminals, elapsed time, total tokens, and the large-workflow warning
759- Improved the /plugin Installed list: rows now line up in columns (status, name, type, details) across every section
760- Improved `/skills`: each row now leads with the skill's name, with ✔ or ◯ alone showing on or off, and stays on one line in narrow terminals
761- Improved narrow list rows (`/skills`, `/workflows`, `/feedback`): a name keeps 20 columns beside its first detail, and details are shown whole or not at all
762- Improved `/diff`: a scrollbar shows where you are in a long list of changed files, and long paths no longer wrap their rows
763- Improved `/hooks`: a hook's detail screen now says what kind of hook it is and where to change it, instead of always pointing at settings.json, and the hooks-disabled, safe mode and managed-hooks-only notices each say what is happening in one plain sentence
764- Improved screen-reader output in `/mcp`: a disabled server is read as "off" instead of "pending"
765- Improved the Remote Control confirmation: its options are briefly inactive again after the terminal window regains focus, so a key pressed while switching back cannot answer it
766- Changed send now (ctrl+enter or ctrl+x ctrl+s) to move running tools to the background instead of cancelling the turn
767- Changed auto mode so that, where its classifier review runs server-side, read-only and sandboxed shell commands also wait for that review and are blocked when it flags them
768- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER` to also apply on a direct Anthropic API connection: `0` opts out of the server-side auto mode classifier (the local classifier then counts toward usage), `1` opts in
769- Changed the dangerous `rm` prompt in `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and auto mode to wait 2 minutes for an answer, then deny the command with a rewrite hint so unattended sessions keep going (`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_DANGEROUS_RM_TIMEOUT=1` turns this off)
770- Changed AGENTS.md support to also work on Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, LLM gateways, and sessions with telemetry disabled
771- Changed Claude apps gateway to refuse to start when a `managedMcpServers` entry's `envHelper` path starts with `\??\` or `/??/`, a path form current Claude Desktop refuses to run
772- Changed self-hosted runners to pass system prompts to Claude Code as private files instead of command-line text, so large prompts no longer fail the launch; a wrapper or `command` hook that appends `--system-prompt` or `--append-system-prompt` must switch to `--system-prompt-file` or `--append-system-prompt-file`
773- Changed queued messages to show in the conversation above the spinner instead of under it
774- Changed the session artifact links under the prompt into one footer pill (`⧉ name` or `⧉ N`) that opens `/artifacts`, which now lists this session's artifacts first
775- Changed the Artifact tool to let Claude load scripts from unpkg.com in artifact pages
776- Changed hovering a list row in fullscreen mode, including in `/config`, to tint the row instead of drawing a second ❯ pointer beside the focused row's
777- Changed /mcp: each server's row now starts with its status icon and name, says its state once, and in a narrow terminal drops trailing facts like "managed" before shortening the name
778- Changed /workflows: each run's row leads with its status icon and elapsed time, and a narrow terminal keeps the run's name and time, dropping the agent and token counts first
779- Changed Remote Control attachment downloads to reuse connections and to skip files already downloaded in the session
780- Changed MCP resource lists (the resource list tool and @-mention suggestions) to skip MCP Apps UI resources; reading one by URI still works
781- Changed `claude plugin uninstall --json` and the /plugin dialog to say a plugin's data was kept when its folder stays because another installed plugin uses it or install records cannot be read
782- Changed the background tasks list (`/tasks`): pressing `x` on a running `/ultrareview` now asks for confirmation before stopping the review
783- Removed the leftover "(removed)" `/agents` entry from the command menu and `/help`; typing `/agents` still explains where the wizard went
784- [VSCode] Added a Continue/Stop prompt in the VS Code and JetBrains panels when auto mode falls back to billed classifier requests, replacing the unanswerable warning line
785- [VSCode] Fixed opening a Web session with no messages saving an empty local copy that could not be resumed; an error now says where to continue it
786- [VSCode] Fixed a claude.ai/code session opening empty or with only part of its conversation, with no error, when the server failed to return its history, part of it failed to load, or a network sign-in page answered in its place; it now shows an error and can be opened again
787- [VSCode] Fixed conversations in editor tabs hanging silently after the extension host restarts; the tab now tells you to reopen it from the session list
788- [VSCode] Fixed Claude attaching option previews to multiple-choice questions in the chat panel, where the question card never shows them
789- [VSCode] Fixed the session manager's cost and usage block wrapping mid-text on a narrow side bar, and showing totals from a previous login after an account switch
790- [Claude Code on the web] Added a Fast mode switch to the composer's model menu in cloud sessions, shown when your plan includes fast mode and the selected model supports it
791- [Claude Code on the web] Added a settings shortcut on the GitHub setup tip and a "Troubleshoot GitHub connection" link in the repository pickers, both opening your GitHub connection page
792- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed routines with a GitHub trigger for a pull request being converted to draft never firing; they now start a run when the pull request is converted
793- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed cloud sessions on a repository that isn't hosted on GitHub showing a Create PR button that could never work; the button is now hidden there
794- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed the GitHub setup tip on claude.ai/code covering the repository picker's search box and rows while the picker is open; it now steps aside until the picker closes
795- [Claude Code on the web] Improved the file card shown when a cloud session can't open a file: it now says whether the file no longer exists or the session's permission settings block reading it
796- [Claude Tag] Added a short line in the Slack thread after someone presses Stop, naming who stopped Claude's response and saying to mention @Claude to continue
797- [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack channels where Claude could permanently stop responding to replies inside threads; affected channels now recover on their own with the next new message to Claude
798- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude resuming a stopped request after you press Stop in Slack, for example when a check-in fired or a background task ended; messages sent mid-response are now read
799- [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack replies arriving many minutes late, or never, after Claude's session crashed mid-task, such as on a failed setup script; it now restarts on its own within minutes
800- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack promising an automatic restart, then failing generically, when a session's configuration is too large to start; the thread now says why and how to retry
801- [Claude Tag] Fixed very long Slack threads: Claude could silently withhold a reply after judging it against weeks-old messages, and a restart deep into the thread could lose recent context
802- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude answering every mention with "Couldn't check this channel just now" in a Slack channel moved from Enterprise Grid org-wide sharing into a single workspace
803- [Claude Tag] Fixed very large Enterprise Grid workspaces reached mostly through channels shared across workspaces getting "Couldn't check this channel" again after a quiet hour
804- [Claude Tag] Fixed a Slack request blocked by your organization's inference hook showing a generic retry notice; the thread now shows the hook's deny message and Claude doesn't retry
805- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack offering to switch to models your organization can't use; it now lists and offers only models the switch will actually accept
806- [Claude Tag] Fixed requests to DynamoDB and Kinesis account-based endpoints failing to authenticate when sent through an AWS connection in Claude Tag
807- [Claude Tag] Fixed the Plugins sections in Claude Tag admin settings failing to load for organization admins and listing attached plugins as raw IDs; they now load and show each plugin's name
808- [Claude Tag] Changed the routine list Claude gives when asked in a Slack thread to show that thread's own scheduled tasks by default instead of every routine in the channel
809- [Code Review] Fixed a pull request getting no review when its reviewed commit was force-pushed away while a failed review was being retried in a repository not set to review every push
810
811## 2.1.280
812
813- Added Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, $4/$20 per Mtok with $0.20/Mtok cache reads
814- Added mouse support to more lists in fullscreen mode: the wheel scrolls the `/skills` list, and a skill's state options in `/plugin` can be clicked
815- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_MCP_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH` to change the 2,048-character cap on MCP tool descriptions and server instructions for every MCP server in the session
816- Added hook output sizes and the number of oversized outputs saved to a file to the `hook_execution_complete` OpenTelemetry event
817- Fixed writes through a symlinked path being judged by their in-tree spelling: the prompt names where the write lands, and `acceptEdits`, allow rules and auto mode no longer approve one landing outside
818- Fixed auto mode retrying an action over and over when a safety check declined to review it; the action is now denied once, noting that retrying won't help
819- Fixed auto mode denying actions over and over without pause when a safety check gave no answer; retries now back off, and the turn stops with a message after ten in a row
820- Fixed Write calls failing validation when a model sends `path`, `file_text`, `file_content` or a stray `description` instead of `file_path` and `content`
821- Fixed Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D pressed twice in most dialogs (`/model`, `/effort`, `/config`, `/status`, `/usage`, `/plugin`, `/sandbox`, `/permissions`, `/artifacts`, `/mobile`, `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/usage-credits`, `/install-github-app`, `/setup-bedrock`, `/setup-vertex`) quitting Claude Code instead of closing the dialog
822- Fixed a click that only brought the terminal window to the front also triggering the item under the pointer — in search pickers, tab bars, agent/workflow rows, slash-command links and suggestion dropdowns
823- Fixed a stray `n` closing dialogs and a stray `y` confirming them; Enter and Esc accept and cancel (bind `y`/`n` to `confirm:yes`/`confirm:no` in `keybindings.json` to restore)
824- Fixed text fields in dialogs losing a typed letter, digit or Space to a keybinding on that key
825- Fixed the prompt line staying scrambled on Windows terminals after invisible characters were removed on Enter; the screen is now repainted so you review the exact text that will be sent
826- Fixed the invisible-character cleanup removing the zero-width non-joiner that Persian and Arabic text uses to attach a suffix to a Latin word or number, such as the plural of "PDF"
827- Fixed voice dictation not stopping on Ctrl+C (the prompt cleared but the microphone kept recording), Esc not cancelling while a transcript was processing, and held Space starting dictation from the transcript view and vim NORMAL mode
828- Fixed a model switch made from a host app (Claude Desktop, VS Code, SDK) while Claude is working causing a prompt-cache miss on the next prompt
829- Fixed resumed fork subagents rebuilding their tool list instead of re-sending the one they first used, which broke prompt caching for that agent
830- Fixed subagent hand-back messages showing an internal provenance preamble when expanded outside verbose mode
831- Fixed `installed_plugins.json` keeping the install-time commit after updating a plugin from a GitHub repository or git URL that tracks a branch or tag
832- Fixed skills in `~/.claude/skills/` being moved to `~/.claude/skills/.trash/` when a `manifest.json` in that folder listed their names
833- Fixed the session feedback survey showing no hover highlight on light and ANSI themes
834- Fixed `/workflows` briefly showing a one-row list before opening the only run
835- Fixed the mouse wheel not scrolling selection lists with hidden options (such as `/model` and `/permissions`) in fullscreen mode
836- Fixed a skill you switched off showing the same red ✘ as a plugin that failed to load in `/plugin` and `/skills`; off now shows a dim ◯
837- Fixed multi-select option descriptions being indented under the option number instead of under the label
838- Fixed the search box in `/plugin`, `/skills` and `/mcp` losing its right border in fullscreen mode
839- Fixed `/mcp` showing △ in the server list but ⚠ in the detail view for the same server; the list, detail views and `/plugin` now all show ⚠
840- Fixed Home and End doing nothing in the `/config` settings list and in selection lists such as `/model`, `/memory` and permission prompts
841- Fixed PgUp/PgDn in the `/skills` menu wrapping past the first or last skill instead of stopping there
842- Fixed Tab silently changing the selected setting's value in the `/config` list; it now does nothing there
843- Fixed conversations failing on every turn with a "role 'system' must precede an 'assistant' message" API error
844- Fixed conversations with the advisor on failing every turn with API Error 400 "Input tag 'advisor_20260301'" behind a proxy or gateway that doesn't support it; the request now retries without it
845- Fixed a session failing on every turn and `/compact` when its saved history held a malformed notice about MCP tools that could not be loaded
846- Fixed a crash when resuming a session whose saved transcript holds a malformed system message or a memory-saved notice without its file list
847- Fixed one cause of long-running fullscreen sessions exiting with "Claude Code exited after an unrecoverable interface error": a damaged cached message list is now rebuilt
848- Fixed Claude Code hanging when a settings file, or a file it re-reads after an edit, is replaced by a named pipe mid-read
849- Fixed `/config` crashing and some on/off preferences being misread when a preference that has moved to `settings.json` still holds a value like `null` or `"false"` in `~/.claude.json`
850- Fixed resuming a session with unfinished background agents, shells or workflows starting a model turn on its own before you typed anything
851- Fixed messages sent to a background subagent being silently lost in headless and SDK sessions when the subagent was finishing its turn
852- Fixed a finished subagent's report being lost when the conversation that launched it was compacted before the report was read
853- Fixed background subagents being unable to use the LSP tool when an LSP plugin is active
854- Fixed background shell tasks reporting benign non-zero exits (e.g. grep with no matches) as failures
855- Fixed background sessions (`claude --bg`) being unable to run git, hooks, plugins and other helper programs when an environment variable handed to the session contained a NUL character
856- Fixed Ctrl+C needing three or four presses to exit while background subagents are running; two presses now exit
857- Fixed IDE selection being dropped when a sent prompt comes back into the input, such as pressing Esc to edit it, rewinding to it, or pressing Esc while startup hooks run
858- Fixed a `!` shell-mode prompt stashed with Ctrl+S coming back as a plain prompt when restored, and `/` listing file paths right after stashing one
859- Fixed `claude agents` showing a blank, unresponsive screen instead of an error when the temp directory is full, not writable or owned by another user
860- Fixed an MCP server re-added under the same name after `claude mcp remove` still showing as needing authentication instead of reconnecting
861- Fixed background plugin marketplace auto-update ignoring git credential helpers, so private-repo marketplaces were re-cloned every run or never updated
862- Fixed `claude plugin update` clearing a plugin's recorded commit and moving it to version "unknown" when the official marketplace's snapshot file is a link or too large
863- Fixed the Artifact tool silently disappearing when your organization's policy can't be loaded (for example behind a web proxy); Claude now says what's blocking it
864- Fixed artifact republishes silently resetting stored database access rules or dropping the viewer profile scope when that capability was re-sent without them; they are now refused
865- Fixed `/ultrareview` reporting a stopped cloud review as completed or as an error to retry, and waiting out the full timeout when its session was deleted or the signed-in account changed
866- Fixed the Claude app showing a missing or stale context usage figure for Remote Control and cloud sessions right after /compact or /clear
867- Fixed the Claude app's diff view for Remote Control and cloud sessions dropping a branch's committed files whenever there are also uncommitted changes
868- Fixed cloud and self-hosted runner sessions failing with "Authentication failed" after waiting out a long overload during which the session's access token was rotated
869- Fixed memory write conflicts in Cowork sessions showing Claude only the start and end of a memory file over about 10,800 characters, so the retried write dropped the middle
870- Self-hosted runner: Fixed lifecycle-hook commits failing to sign under `--configure-git`
871- Windows: Fixed background cleanup deleting a directory symlink or junction used to relocate `~/.claude/session-env`, `image-cache` or another cleaned-up folder
872- Self-hosted runner: Fixed a turn that ended right at a `--retire-at` release losing its finished signal; the runner now briefly waits for the turn to be reported before stopping the session
873- Reverted `ctrl+l` / `cmd+k` in fullscreen mode clearing the transcript view (added in 2.1.260); they redraw the screen again
874- Improved `/permissions`: focus returns to the rule list after viewing, adding or deleting a rule, and the delete-rule and remove-directory confirmations now default to No
875- Improved `/permissions` tab navigation: ←/→ and Tab pressed in a rule list now switch tabs without moving focus to the tab bar
876- Improved `/cost` cache-miss causes to name thinking mode and thinking display changes
877- Improved the Artifact tool so that when Claude cannot read an artifact link it was given, it tells the user before continuing
878- Improved `/install-github-app`: the GitHub CLI check and repository selection steps now show "Esc to cancel"
879- Improved the `/artifacts` and `/workflows` lists: a scrollbar at the right edge shows how much of a long list is hidden and where you are in it
880- Improved the workflow progress tree: running agents and phases now show a dim dot instead of ⟳
881- Improved `/plugin`'s Add Marketplace form in fullscreen: it no longer draws a box inside the pane, and its text and key hints line up with the rest of `/plugin`
882- Improved the `/workflows` detail view in fullscreen: it no longer draws a second horizontal rule under the pane's divider
883- Improved code blocks that don't name a language: they are now colored like inline code, so commands stand out from the surrounding text
884- Improved `/btw` asked while a tool is still running: the side question now knows that call is in progress instead of reading it as a failed one
885- Improved the UserPromptSubmit hook timeout notice and the debug log to name which hook command timed out
886- Improved `@` file suggestions: a file whose name contains the query now ranks above one that only matches across its folder names
887- Improved artifact pages: no Print buttons, confirm dialogs or device features the viewer blocks, email and phone details shown as text, and dark mode that reaches form controls and scrollbars
888- Improved `/ultrareview` uploads: renamed copies of key files, such as `id_rsa copy` or `kubeconfig (1).yaml`, now also stay on your machine
889- Improved the cross-session messaging startup warning to explain that `--debug-file` writes a debug log to a path you choose
890- Changed the default model on Pro and Team Standard plans from Sonnet to Opus, matching Max, Team Premium, and Enterprise
891- Changed an effort level saved before `/effort` became per-model to no longer apply to newly released models such as Opus 5.5; they start at their default until you pick a level
892- Changed Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8 and Fable 5 to stop holding their launch-default effort over `/effort` in `-p` or the Agent SDK, a project, managed or `--settings` `effortLevel`, or a per-model level
893- Changed `/autocompact`'s footer hint to name ←/→, the keys that adjust other ordered values
894- Changed `/fast`'s footer to name Space as the toggle key
895- Self-hosted runner: Changed git in lifecycle hooks to ignore hook folders and programs named in the runner's shared git files; local-path and `git://` remotes there now need `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL`
896- Changed plugin marketplaces whose name imitates a reserved marketplace name to be refused when added, and to stop loading if one was already added
897- Changed `PermissionRequest` hooks: an agent-type hook no longer runs there, since its answer could never allow or deny the request; it now shows an error pointing to command or http hooks
898- [VSCode] Added a Status dialog, with a typed `/status`, showing the session's version, account, model and server details
899- [VSCode] Added a Sandbox dialog for the sandbox mode, the unsandboxed fallback and excluded commands, opened from the panel menu or by typing `/sandbox`
900- [VSCode] Added a Claude in Chrome dialog (extension status, the install, reconnect and permissions pages, the enabled-by-default setting), opened from the panel menu or by typing `/chrome`
901- [VSCode] Added Export conversation, with a typed `/export`, to copy or save the conversation as plain text
902- [VSCode] Added each skill's source, token estimate and on/off state to the Slash commands dialog, with a click to change the state, and a typed `/skills` that opens it
903- [VSCode] Added a typed `/plan` that switches to plan mode, sends a first planning prompt, or shows the session's plan
904- [VSCode] Improved pasted-text handling in the chat box: a paste over 800 characters or over 2 line breaks is now marked so Claude can tell it from what you typed
905- [VSCode] Improved prompt handling in the chat box: invisible Unicode formatting and tag characters are removed from pasted text with a notice, and from anything else before it is sent
906- [VSCode] Changed "Open in New Tab" to open Claude beside the editor group you are working in rather than after the last group
907- [VSCode] Fixed the effort chip showing a stale saved effort level instead of the level the session runs at
908- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code never starting when the Python extension hangs while activating; it now starts after 60 seconds without the Python environment
909- [VSCode] Fixed the plan approval card never offering auto mode: when auto mode is available, its first option is now "Yes, and use auto mode", as in the terminal
910- [VSCode] Fixed arrow-key navigation in the session list stopping after archiving or unarchiving a session from the keyboard
911- [VSCode] Fixed paste marker lines showing in your own messages after reopening a session
912- [Claude Code on the web] Changed the admin Routines on/off setting to live under Admin settings → Capabilities → Remote sessions; the Claude Code admin page now links to it
913- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed `gh` and GitHub API calls inside a cloud session on a GitHub Enterprise Server repository failing after about eight hours; the token now renews automatically
914- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed a routine that resumes an existing session running with its old prompt and name when it was edited moments before the scheduled run started
915- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed file links in a cloud session transcript that point outside the session's working directory opening a file card that never loads; they're now disabled and say why
916- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed auto mode refusing to retry a tool call because an approval prompt that expired unanswered, or was superseded by a newer message, had been recorded as your rejection
917- [Claude Code on the web] Improved cloud sessions viewed in the Claude app: Claude now saves files meant for you where the app can open them
918- [Claude Code on the web] Removed the empty repository picker shown when starting a session on a self-hosted environment in an organization where an admin has turned GitHub off
919- [Claude Tag] Added Slack's native Working indicator, Stop button and thread title to Claude's threads in channels; the indicator stays up until Claude finishes, and Stop interrupts the task
920- [Claude Tag] Added a short notice in the Slack channel when a guest joining, or the last guest leaving, changes how Claude responds there under a Restrict or Channel only guest setting
921- [Claude Tag] Fixed scheduled routines silently failing to run in Slack workspaces that were connected to Claude before the workspace joined its Enterprise Grid
922- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude asking you to re-upload a Slack file when a brief file-scanning outage, not the file, was the problem; it now retries the scan and is told when the scanner is down
923- [Claude Tag] Fixed a bullet in Claude's Slack reply whose text starts with +, - or * rendering as an empty bullet with a stray nested item; it now shows as one bullet with the character kept
924- [Claude Tag] Fixed the Slack notice for a failed cloud environment setup script sometimes being a generic "mention me to retry"; it now names the setup script and says to fix it first
925- [Claude Tag] Improved the GitHub banner in Claude Tag admin settings to say why GitHub isn't connected: not signed in, app not linked or not installed, sign-in expired, or SSO not authorized
926- [Code Review] Improved the Code Review check run to say when REVIEW.md instructions were cut or left out of a review for exceeding a size limit, naming the file and the limit
927
928## 2.1.278
929
930- Changed auto mode for Claude API and Enterprise users, and on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and gateways, to default to the server-side classifier, which does not charge for classifier overhead (`CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0` opts out on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and gateways); warns on billed fallback. See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/auto-mode-classifier-billing
931- Added an `Auto mode server` row to `/status` showing whether this session's auto mode classifier runs on the server
932
933## 2.1.277
934
935- Added AGENTS.md support: in a project with no CLAUDE.md, Claude Code reads AGENTS.md instead; change it under "Project instructions" in `/config`
936- Added `CLAUDE_GATEWAY_PROXY_IS_EGRESS_BOUNDARY=1` for Claude apps gateways whose only egress is a forward proxy: every outbound request hands the proxy the hostname instead of resolving it locally
937- Added an optional `headers:` map on Claude apps gateway upstreams, to send static headers to a proxy you run in front of a provider
938- Added a line saying a background task's update is waiting when it finishes while a panel such as `/tasks` is open
939- Fixed `claude -p` and Agent SDK sessions that could hang with no result after an internal error; they now report the error and exit with code 1
940- Fixed conversations failing every request with "text content blocks must be non-empty" when an earlier assistant turn held an empty text block beside other content, including after `--resume`
941- Fixed being unexpectedly logged out when an older Claude Code build (for example an IDE extension's bundled CLI) runs on the same machine as the current one
942- Fixed interactive start-up hanging or showing an error for `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` users when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed `customApiKeyResponses` value
943- Fixed update checks erroring every 30 minutes, and `claude update` hanging when a minimum or maximum version is set, if a proxy returns an invalid version; a malformed `minimumVersion` is now ignored
944- Fixed `claude update` on winget- or apk-managed installs reporting "up to date" when the version lookup failed
945- Fixed `claude plugin install` sometimes failing and breaking the installed copy when reinstalling a plugin version that a session or another program was using; an unchanged copy is now left alone
946- Fixed Grep and Glob reporting no matches when the search could not start because the system was out of processes, memory or file handles; they now return an error saying so
947- Fixed the Write tool silently ending the turn as a declined permission when the target path is an existing directory; it now reports a clear error
948- Fixed the Edit tool treating an escaped backslash followed by `uXXXX` text as a `\uXXXX` escape, which could make an edit of a non-ASCII character rewrite an escaped backslash sequence instead
949- Fixed the Edit tool reporting "Invalid regular expression: regular expression too large" instead of "String not found in file" when a very large edit containing non-ASCII text did not match the file
950- Fixed a turn ending early with "Path contains null bytes" when a tool call's file path contained `\u0000` written as an escape sequence; escaped control characters now stay as literal text
951- Fixed background sessions (`claude --bg`) exiting when a plugin's LSP server exited or closed its stdin
952- Fixed a crash ("Type error") when opening `/mcp` or `/plugin manage` with a malformed `claudeAiMcpEverConnected` value in `~/.claude.json`
953- Fixed a crash at launch when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed `theme` value
954- Fixed a crash ("unrecoverable interface error") when the prompt held text containing terminal color codes, for example a prompt recalled from history or text loaded from the external editor
955- Fixed a crash when resuming a session whose saved history holds an assistant message stored as a plain string
956- Fixed sessions on slow or heavily loaded machines sometimes exiting with "Claude Code exited after an unrecoverable interface error" when the first spinner appeared
957- Fixed a rare case where the screen could stop updating for the rest of the session after an internal rendering error
958- Fixed a rare case on Windows where a turn could stop with an error such as "Out of memory" right after Claude replied, so that reply's tool calls never ran
959- Fixed sessions continued after `/clear` (restart, `--continue`, `--resume`) missing part of their first message when a SessionStart hook printed output, causing a full prompt-cache miss
960- Fixed messages from other agents (such as a subagent's SendMessage) that arrived mid-turn showing up below the "Ran N shell commands" row instead of where they arrived
961- Fixed the "copied" notice not appearing after drag-selecting text in the fullscreen `/resume` picker and other panels that cover the prompt area
962- Fixed `$TMPDIR` expanding empty in Bash commands that run outside the sandbox while sandboxing is enabled
963- Fixed WebFetch and WebSearch in Cowork cloud sessions not telling Claude why a request was refused, such as a used-up fetch budget or an admin policy
964- Fixed the Claude apps gateway's telemetry relay ignoring a collector hostname or domain listed in `NO_PROXY` when a proxy is set
965- Fixed one malformed `strictKnownMarketplaces` or `blockedMarketplaces` entry silently disabling the whole enterprise marketplace policy
966- Fixed failed auto-updates leaving large staged downloads behind in `~/.cache/claude/staging`
967- Fixed `/plugin` not stripping terminal control characters from messages on the Installed tab, such as the error of a failed plugin update
968- Fixed `/plugin` → Installed and `/skills` crashing when a skill or legacy command is named like a built-in Object property such as `constructor` or `toString`
969- Fixed `/plugin` closing with no message when every install in a multi-select failed
970- Fixed uninstalled plugins reappearing as "failed to load" rows in `/plugin` Installed, and Remove not clearing such a row
971- Fixed plugins from the official marketplace being recorded without their commit in `installed_plugins.json`, and `installed_plugins.json` keeping the old commit after updating a pinned-commit plugin
972- Fixed plugin reload previews keeping every previewed copy of a plugin archive unpacked until exit, and overwriting the cached `--plugin-url` archive a reload falls back to when its download fails
973- Fixed Remote Control session bookkeeping failing when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed placeholder record
974- Fixed the error after a revoked claude.ai login blaming an expired Anthropic profile; it now leads with `/login`
975- Fixed typed or pasted text occasionally coming out scrambled in the `claude agents` dispatch input during key repeat or very fast input
976- Fixed a crash ("unrecoverable interface error") when resuming a session whose saved transcript contains a stop hook summary without a well-formed hook list
977- Fixed Enter on a selected agent panel row doing nothing when `keybindings.json` rebinds Enter in the Chat context, for example to `chat:queueSubmit`
978- Fixed PDF page reads on Windows failing when the working folder's path is long (about 120 characters or more)
979- Fixed a headless resume (`claude -p --resume`, the SDK, a VS Code extension window reload) starting the session's cost and usage totals at zero; headless sessions now save their totals at exit
980- Fixed project skills from the main repository not loading in `--worktree` sessions when `.claude/skills` is untracked
981- Fixed a `sandbox.excludedCommands` glob exempting an entire compound Bash command from the sandbox when only one part matched; every part must now match
982- Fixed resumed subagents and teammates re-rendering the MCP tool definitions they had loaded, which broke prompt caching for that agent
983- Fixed rate-limited artifact publishes telling Claude to stop retrying; Claude is now told nothing was published and when to send the same publish again
984- Fixed attachments recorded earlier in a conversation being re-rendered after a resume or relaunch, which dropped extended thinking and missed the prompt cache
985- Fixed Console sign-in showing only "Request failed with status code 400" when the server refuses to create an API key; it now shows the server's message
986- Fixed messages typed while Claude is still working sometimes being ignored by the model
987- Improved session start-up for SDK and headless (`-p`) use: the first turn no longer waits on the per-directory CLAUDE.md lookup
988- Improved the Claude apps gateway's loopback error messages to name `CLAUDE_GATEWAY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK`
989- Improved `/plugin` Installed: an MCP server listed apart from its plugin now shows which plugin it belongs to
990- Improved `claude plugin install` on an already-installed plugin: it now says when the marketplace offers a newer version and names the `claude plugin update` command
991- Improved the startup notice overflow line under the logo: it now reads "N more notices hidden" instead of "+N more · /status"
992- Improved prompt handling: invisible Unicode formatting and tag characters in a prompt are removed and the cleaned prompt is shown for review before it is sent
993- Improved `/ultrareview` when there's nothing to review: messages say which case you're in, offer a command that reviews your latest commit, and a new repository's first commit is reviewed in full
994- Improved artifact link handling so Claude reads claude.ai artifact links with the Artifact tool instead of WebFetch when that tool is available
995- Improved the dangerous-rm permission prompt to name the flagged rm command and suggest a `${VAR:?}` guard, so headless runs can recover
996- Improved the Artifact tool's permission prompts: shorter sentences, pages and artifacts named by title or file name, and links listed after the text
997- Changed Fable to always appear in `/model` on the Anthropic API; it is greyed out only when your organization's settings disable it
998- Changed the Bash sandbox instructions on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry to the first-party wording, which frames the sandbox as the boundary of what the task was given
999- Changed `/ultrareview` in non-interactive sessions to refuse when the repository has no base branch or shared history
1000- Changed subagent results to reach the main agent under a header marking them as subagent output, with the result indented, so text in a subagent's result cannot pass as the session's own instructions
1001- Changed workflow scripts' computed `agent()` prompts on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry to reach the subagent framed as script-authored text, so the safety classifier does not read them as the user
1002- Removed the background Haiku auto-title request from `claude -p` runs launched outside an SDK or IDE
1003- Removed the deprecated TaskOutput tool; Claude reads a background task's output file with Read instead, and the `taskOutputMaxChars` setting and `TASK_MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH` no longer have any effect
1004- [VSCode] Added a Sign out row to the panel menu, with `/logout` in the typed command menu
1005- [VSCode] Added background shells and other running tasks to the agent map, each with a Stop, and a typed `/tasks` that opens it
1006- [VSCode] Added a Copy response button on responses and a typed `/copy`
1007- [VSCode] Added a one-time notice when inactive sessions are archived automatically, and an "Unarchive all" action on the Archived sessions group
1008- [VSCode] Added the session's cost and token usage to the Account & usage dialog and the session manager where plan limits do not apply (Vertex, Bedrock, Foundry, API key)
1009- [VSCode] Fixed the "General config" menu row showing `/config` usage text instead of opening settings, and made typed `/mcp`, `/hooks`, `/memory`, `/rewind` and similar commands open their dialogs
1010- [VSCode] Fixed the effort slider's level not persisting into later sessions on a model that already had a level saved with `/effort`
1011- [VSCode] Fixed Auto missing from the mode picker for conversations opened in an already-used panel when the saved model setting is a differently-cased alias such as "Sonnet"
1012- [VSCode] Fixed `/fast` not saving fast mode as the default, so it was lost when the extension relaunched Claude Code
1013- [Claude Code on the web] Added Personal and Organization sections to the environment picker on Team and Enterprise plans, and admins can now share a personal environment with the organization
1014- [Claude Code on the web] Changed organization environments to open as a read-only summary from the Code tab on Team and Enterprise plans, with editing under Admin settings → Cloud environments
1015- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed a cloud environment saved with Custom network access and no domains silently reverting to Trusted; the dialog now asks for at least one domain
1016- [Claude Code on the web] Changed the admin Claude Code setting labeled "Web" to "Cloud sessions" and removed the redundant read-only Mobile row beneath it
1017- [Claude Tag] Fixed routines created in a Slack channel on an Enterprise Grid org-wide install failing to read other public channels in their workspace when they ran
1018- [Claude Tag] Fixed the "Learn more" links on credential presets in Claude Tag access bundles to open each vendor's credential-setup page instead of a generic API reference
1019- [Claude Tag] Changed the Pylon credential preset in Claude Tag access bundles so admins can point it at Pylon's EU host
1020- [Claude Tag] Fixed Google Cloud credential forms in Claude Tag access bundles: a refused key file now says why, the website and scopes stay locked, and a rejected rotation keeps the pasted key
1021- [Claude Tag] Fixed the network events log in Claude Tag admin settings showing no response status for requests through connections that use AWS signing, client certificates or a custom CA
1022
1023## 2.1.276
1024
1025- Fixed every request failing with `400 … Input tag 'advisor_20260301'` when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at a proxy or gateway (2.1.275 regression)
1026
1027## 2.1.275
1028
1029- Added the signed-in account to Claude apps gateway sign-in: when the gateway names it, you confirm it before the credential is saved, and `/status` shows it
1030- Added a send-now key (ctrl+enter, or ctrl+x ctrl+s) that interrupts the current turn and sends all queued messages at once; sent and queued messages show in gray until the model receives them
1031- Added a startup warning when a configured `otelHeadersHelper` fails, so sessions that silently export no telemetry are noticed
1032- Added syncing of the skills and plugins enabled on your claude.ai account to terminal sessions signed in with it; opt out with `syncClaudeAiSkills: false` or `syncClaudeAiPlugins: false`
1033- Added `/plugin install <plugin> --marketplace <source>`, which offers to add the marketplace before installing the plugin
1034- Fixed a restored memory file's age note changing between requests after a compaction or resume, which caused prompt cache misses
1035- Fixed `--forward-subagent-text` stream-json and SDK output dropping the messages of subagents spawned by a `context: fork` skill, and of forked skills invoked by a subagent or another forked skill
1036- Fixed @-mention file suggestions being buried below MCP resources when using a custom `fileSuggestion` command or typing `@.`/`@./`
1037- Fixed fullscreen mode placing background-task completion notices beneath a long turn's collapsed tool row instead of where they arrived; each notice now closes the open row
1038- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace update` deleting a GitHub marketplace's local copy when the fetch failed and the marketplace was named after its repository
1039- Fixed plugin and marketplace messages, logs and `claude plugin marketplace list` showing a password or token stored in a git, ssh or marketplace URL
1040- Fixed a resumed cloud session leaving an unanswered question open in the transcript after a queued message superseded it
1041- Fixed vim mode placing the cursor one character right after a dot-repeated "!" or a fast-typed "i!" switched a non-empty prompt into shell mode
1042- Fixed fullscreen mode freezing or blanking for several seconds when scrolling up past a large file diff
1043- Fixed a stray `</ccmemory>`-style closing tag occasionally appearing in responses
1044- Fixed plugin messages, logs and the VS Code plugin dialog showing the wrong server for some git addresses
1045- Fixed a terminal `API Error: 400` on every turn for users behind a network gateway that rewrites API error responses when a beta request header is rejected
1046- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands on Linux reporting exit code 0 for failed commands when the shell is zsh
1047- Fixed the Read tool hanging instead of reporting an error when part of a large file could not be decoded under memory pressure
1048- Fixed `--resume`, the resume picker preview, resumed background agents and the transcript view failing on a session whose saved history contains a malformed task-reminder or @-file attachment entry
1049- Fixed a crash when resuming a conversation whose transcript contains a malformed message entry, and a fullscreen crash when such a conversation received new messages while scrolled up
1050- Fixed sessions failing to resume or start when their saved transcript contains a malformed message content block
1051- Fixed Grep, Glob and @-file suggestions hanging or running out of memory on searches over the 20MB output cap, and system ripgrep reporting "no matches" instead of an error after a flood of warnings
1052- Fixed `/rewind` in a forked or background session restoring a zero-filled or truncated file when the session's file-history backups could not be fully copied
1053- Fixed fullscreen sessions sometimes exiting with "Claude Code exited after an unrecoverable interface error" when typing fast or holding a key with the slash-command dropdown open
1054- Fixed background sessions crashing and restarting their worker when a command fed through stdin ran on a machine that had run out of file descriptors
1055- Fixed a crash at launch when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed `mcpNeedsAuthNoticed` value
1056- Fixed `--resume` and `--continue` dropping a conversation's earlier thinking when a built-in tool it started with has since been switched off by a server-side flag
1057- Fixed text selected with the mouse in the fullscreen `claude --resume` session picker never reaching the clipboard
1058- Fixed plugin reload previews replacing a running session's extracted plugin files when the plugin was loaded from a `--plugin-dir` or `--plugin-url` archive
1059- Fixed self-hosted runners with `--drain-wait-sec` losing the final result of a turn that finished during a SIGTERM drain; the runner now waits briefly for the turn to be reported
1060- Fixed `SubagentStop` hooks with a specific `matcher` firing for every stopping subagent whose agent type was empty
1061- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands being unable to write to project directories named `hooks/` or `config/`
1062- Fixed Artifact updates failing with "File not found" after a session resumes on another machine or its scratchpad is cleared: the page's last published version is restored
1063- Fixed `/update-config` writing `Write(path)` permission rules, which file permission checks don't match, instead of `Edit(path)` rules
1064- Fixed four dead documentation URLs (Pricing, Computer Use, Skills, CLI) in the bundled claude-api skill's live-sources table
1065- Improved prompt caching for a `--system-prompt` that contains a `__SYSTEM_PROMPT_DYNAMIC_BOUNDARY__` line: the text above it is now cached globally, as the SDK's array form already is
1066- Improved the `/desktop` error when Claude Desktop does not open: it now says why and what to do next
1067- Improved the Artifact tool's publish and read results: they now say who can open the page and what the owner's Share menu offers
1068- Improved artifact publish results: they name the tab icon sent, warn when the page contains a NUL byte, and retry a flaky fetch of the newer page to merge after a stale publish
1069- Improved pasted and attached images: they are now saved where Claude can open them as files without a permission prompt, including in Desktop and VS Code
1070- Improved the Artifact tool's guidance so Claude updates a shared artifact in place when you were given edit access to it, instead of publishing a separate copy
1071- Improved plan-usage reads: editor windows and non-interactive sessions on one machine now share a read made in the last minute instead of each calling the usage endpoint
1072- Improved the `ListPlugins` tool description so Claude knows it lists plugins enabled on your claude.ai account, not plugins installed locally with `/plugin`
1073- Improved responsiveness when the terminal is slow or paused: output no longer falls further behind while the terminal catches up
1074- Improved Write and Edit results for files in the synced account-skills folder: they now say the change is not saved to your account and how to save it
1075- Updated `/logout` for Claude apps gateway sign-ins to also end the session on gateways that advertise token revocation
1076- Changed hosted sessions to keep an unanswered permission prompt up after a container restart, instead of asking again
1077- Changed the Artifact tool to ask for a one-word tab icon on a first publish instead of an emoji favicon
1078- Changed Claude in Chrome in auto mode to skip the extension's per-site check for classifier-approved calls, as bypass mode does, fixing `browser_batch` "Permission denied" after a redirect
1079- Changed plugins installed from an npm source to be fetched with `npm pack --ignore-scripts` and integrity-verified, so a package's install scripts no longer run
1080- Changed scheduled and Run now routine runs to save data to, and republish the page of, an artifact you can edit without asking; public artifacts, first publishes and deletes still ask
1081- Removed the startup notice that told you a one-off scheduled routine had run since your last session
1082- [VSCode] Added viewing, editing and deleting a saved memory inside the Memory dialog
1083- [VSCode] Added sending an attached image without typing any text
1084- [VSCode] Added a Retry link to the MCP servers dialog when the server list fails to load
1085- [VSCode] Added accept and reject buttons under each change in the proposed-change diff tab, so an edit can be reviewed change by change
1086- [VSCode] Fixed the transcript creeping toward the bottom in small steps while a permission card waits and content keeps arriving
1087- [VSCode] Fixed rewound and forked conversations not keeping the permission mode you had picked for the original conversation
1088- [VSCode] Fixed an empty `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` entry in the `environmentVariables` setting making Claude Code keep its files in the workspace
1089- [VSCode] Fixed plugin install links opening the Manage plugins dialog for plugin names and marketplace addresses that can't be used in a link
1090- [VSCode] Fixed Remote Control staying shown as connected after a turn-off that Claude Code reported as failed; it now shows as off
1091- [VSCode] Fixed the scroll to the bottom on send stopping short of the reply when the reply starts arriving during the scroll
1092- [VSCode] Fixed the agent map showing agents a crash left unfinished as stopped instead of failed once the session is reopened
1093- [VSCode] Fixed the "Continuing the step" notice not appearing, and the continue limit resetting, after a reload that follows a crash with background tasks still running
1094- [VSCode] Fixed the session list showing when a session was last reopened, such as after a window reload, instead of when its last message was sent
1095- [VSCode] Fixed "Fork conversation from here" failing on the message right after one sent while Claude was working
1096- [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock showing too few minutes after reopening a session with a message sent while Claude was working
1097- [VSCode] Fixed a background agent that finished while Claude was running a tool losing its completion notice, and its result on the agent map, after a window reload
1098- [VSCode] Fixed a rare case where text selected in a git-ignored file could be sent to Claude after the extension was unresponsive for several seconds
1099- [VSCode] Fixed renaming a running session reverting to the generated name (regression in 2.1.269)
1100- [VSCode] Fixed slash commands typed while Claude is responding being sent to the model as text instead of running once the response finishes
1101- [VSCode] Fixed unreadable code in the plan preview and the Hooks and Permission rules dialogs with the High Contrast Light theme
1102- [VSCode] Fixed `/remote-control` being ignored while Remote Control is still connecting: running it again now turns Remote Control off immediately
1103- [VSCode] Fixed the conversation pulling you back to the bottom while a reply streams after you scroll up, and added a `claudeCode.scrollToBottomOnSend` setting to turn off the jump on send
1104- [VSCode] Fixed the Manage plugins dialog showing a password or token that was typed into a marketplace URL
1105- [VSCode] Improved the agent map: the pill counts running agents and turns red after a failure, the main agent stays in view while the map scrolls, and agents sort by state then end time
1106- [VSCode] Changed New session in a Claude editor tab to open in the sidebar when Preferred Location is set to Sidebar, instead of always opening another tab
1107- [VSCode] Changed a message sent while Claude is working to wait at the bottom of the conversation until Claude starts on it
1108- [Claude Code on the web] Added a "New routine" button to the page shown when a routine link no longer resolves, next to the link back to your routines list
1109- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed routine "paused" and "on hold" notifications being cut off mid-sentence; the paused-subscription notice now says to turn the routine back on yourself
1110- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed cloud environments with a very long allowed-domains list saving fine and then failing every session start; saving now fails up front and says how much to trim
1111- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed Claude's guidance when a cloud session on a personal account is denied GitHub access: it now links to claude.ai/connect-github instead of an admin settings page
1112- [Claude Code on the web] Improved what Claude tells you when asked to edit, delete or run a routine it didn't create: it now links to the routine's page so you can do it yourself
1113- [Claude Tag] Added attach conditions for access bundles in Claude Tag settings: an Owner can let a bundle also apply in channels with guests or Slack Connect channels, not just member-only
1114- [Claude Tag] Added Amazon CloudWatch, CloudWatch Logs, Amazon SNS, Google Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging presets to an access bundle's Credentials tab in Claude Tag admin settings
1115- [Claude Tag] Added Datadog presets for the US3, AP1, AP2 and US1-FED sites; new Datadog connections are now limited to Datadog's read and query API routes
1116- [Claude Tag] Fixed S3 uploads from recent AWS CLI and SDK versions failing with a 502 error when sent through an AWS connection
1117- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude treating a channel as inactive, and skipping untagged messages there, while it was still posting in that channel from a routine or a thread
1118- [Claude Tag] Fixed a thread's "Claude [task]" display name reverting to plain "Claude" after the session behind that thread was refreshed or restarted
1119- [Claude Tag] Fixed the model you switched to in a Slack thread silently reverting to the channel's default after that thread's session was restarted or refreshed
1120- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude sometimes replying twice when another app or bot @mentioned it in a top-level channel message
1121- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude's notices in Enterprise Grid channels shared across workspaces: they now say when no workspace is set up yet, or why only organization defaults apply
1122- [Code Review] Fixed reviews occasionally dropping part of their analysis when one of the reviewing agents returned its findings in an unexpected format
1123- [Code Review] Fixed pull requests with more than 100 Claude reviews getting a full re-review on every clean merge from the base branch instead of the lighter merge-focused review
1124
1125## 2.1.274
1126
1127- Added a visible warning when memory usage is critical, with steps to free memory or restart safely
1128- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_STARTUP_WAIT_MS` to bound how long the first non-interactive turn waits for connecting MCP servers (`0` = don't wait)
1129- Added `effort` attribute to the `claude_code.llm_request` OpenTelemetry trace span, matching the `api_request` event
1130- Added `claude_code.managed_settings_resolved` OTel event: managed-settings sources and policy helper state; redacted settings and digests with `OTEL_LOG_MANAGED_SETTINGS=1`
1131- Added `store.connect_timeout_seconds` to the Claude apps gateway config to lengthen the Postgres connect timeout (default 5 seconds), and improved the boot error when the database is unreachable to point to `store.postgres_url` and the configured timeout
1132- Added `enduser.sub`, the IdP subject, to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway
1133- Added a Claude apps gateway warning when a replica has more requests open than the 256 it sends upstream at once, and a startup log line showing that limit
1134- Added click-to-expand for collapsed teammate and agent messages in fullscreen mode
1135- Fixed sessions getting stuck endlessly retrying "unexpected tool_use_id" 400 errors: corrupted transcripts now self-heal where possible, and otherwise a clear error (with a `/rewind` hint) ends the loop
1136- Fixed MCP servers configured as `http` that only speak legacy HTTP+SSE failing to connect when they answer the first request with 422 or another 4xx error
1137- Fixed Streamable HTTP MCP tool calls timing out after about 5 minutes even when a longer per-server `timeout` was set
1138- Fixed MCP prompts and resources not refreshing when a server sends list-changed notifications without declaring `listChanged`
1139- Fixed MCP tool calls refused with 403 insufficient_scope being reported as an expired sign-in: the error now names the missing permissions and points to `/mcp` re-authentication
1140- Fixed hook-driven sessions (such as an active `/goal`) ending with "Prompt is too long" instead of compacting when the context overflowed again after a reactive compaction
1141- Fixed an active `/goal` being lost when resuming (`--continue` / `--resume`) a session that had compacted
1142- Fixed `claude agents` losing `--model`, `--effort`, `--permission-mode`, `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` and `--agent` after an auto-update relaunch
1143- Fixed a per-turn slowdown when a language server publishes project-wide diagnostics for thousands of files
1144- Fixed subagents with `model: "opus"` on Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry leaving the session's model when its id has no recognizable model family (unless `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` is set)
1145- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions failing every turn with a 401 after a few failed token refreshes, until the next scheduled refresh; the runner now keeps retrying, and fetches a new token after a 401
1146- Fixed clickable links to local file paths doing nothing in VS Code and other terminals that require a `file://` URI
1147- Fixed the transcript renumbering ordered lists in your own messages (typing "3. 2. 1." displayed "3. 4. 5."); numbers and "N)" markers now show as typed
1148- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview notes being attached to a previously chosen option instead of the highlighted one
1149- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview mode dropping the highlighted option when submitting a note with Enter
1150- Fixed a resumed background agent keeping half of an interrupted tool batch when one of its calls was approved with a message
1151- Fixed a local `claude -p --resume` started with `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` not reporting background tasks the previous process left unfinished
1152- Fixed the first turn of a cloud session sometimes starting without the tools of an SDK-hosted MCP server that was still connecting
1153- Fixed background agent notifications claiming the agent had no live background work when it was still waiting on its own background task and would resume
1154- Fixed error hints in Claude Desktop sessions to suggest slash commands like `/usage-credits` instead of CLI flags that cannot be used there
1155- Fixed `/schedule` saving a routine's prompt without its message role when Claude writes the routine in the shape that listing routines returns
1156- Fixed `/status` not showing the `apiKeyHelper` failure that its own error banner told you to check
1157- Fixed `/fast on` in non-interactive sessions reporting on and then turning off under an organization's managed fast mode policy; it now says the organization has disabled it
1158- Fixed the Artifact tool asking you to approve an update to an artifact that it then refused because the session had not read the latest version
1159- Fixed Cowork and claude.ai cloud sessions with network access on treating reads of a teammate's artifact as if network access were off
1160- Fixed a plugin or marketplace directory with no git repository of its own taking its version from an enclosing git repository, such as a git-managed `~/.claude`
1161- Fixed `--strict-mcp-config` with an empty `--mcp-config` holding the first non-interactive turn for up to `MCP_TIMEOUT` on incidental MCP servers
1162- Fixed Stop prompt hooks re-sending their whole prompt on every block in a conversation; repeat blocks now name the condition with a 500-character label
1163- Fixed extra empty editor windows opening at startup on Linux under Wayland when running inside the Cursor or VS Code terminal
1164- Fixed an unhandled promise rejection in the Claude apps gateway when Postgres drops a connection during a spend check
1165- Fixed Claude apps gateway cutting every open stream on SIGTERM: it now lets in-flight requests finish for up to 25 seconds before exiting (`CLAUDE_GATEWAY_DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS`)
1166- Fixed `installed_plugins.json` being rewritten on nearly every start-up when plugin policy comes from remote managed settings, which made Claude Desktop reload every open session's plugins
1167- Fixed headless and SDK sessions making a separate model call for every background task that finished; completions already queued are now answered by one call
1168- Fixed the Bash tool re-sourcing the shell profile (a multi-second stall on the next command) after every plugin reload; it now does so only when the plugins' `bin/` directories changed
1169- Fixed plugins with a top-level `$schema` in `hooks/hooks.json` showing an "unknown key" notice
1170- Fixed MCP connection errors and the MCP login tool's description showing secrets resolved from `${VAR}` placeholders in MCP configs
1171- Fixed Bash permission checks for commands that loop over or assign certain special shell variables; these commands now ask for permission
1172- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions accepting Bash commands with certain nested shell expansions; these are now refused
1173- Fixed the Edit permission prompt preview sometimes showing a different location than the approved edit in files with multi-byte characters
1174- Fixed background commands being stopped after 30 idle minutes on machines under mild memory pressure; they're now stopped only when memory is critically low, and the debug log says why
1175- Fixed a message a subagent sends to the main session disappearing from the Claude Desktop transcript after a relaunch
1176- Fixed a plugin loaded from a `.zip` being served from a stale extraction after several overlapping reloads
1177- Fixed a sub-agent's progress summary being replaced by a runaway multi-paragraph reply
1178- Improved startup in `--input-format stream-json` sessions: the first turn no longer waits up to 2s for still-connecting MCP servers whose tools tool search defers; they arrive on a later turn
1179- Improved Monitor tool notifications: a script's final output and its exit now arrive as one notification instead of two, saving a model turn
1180- Improved Artifact tool errors: when you are not signed in to claude.ai the terminal now says so on the first attempt, and Claude is told to stop retrying a rejected call sooner
1181- Improved artifact publishing: a publish built on an older version is stopped before it is sent, with the newer page to merge
1182- Improved safety checks before removing an agent worktree that contains submodule checkouts
1183- Improved `OTEL_LOG_RAW_API_BODIES=file:<dir>` output: a new `index.jsonl` and `request_body_id` / `message.id` event attributes link each response to its request file and transcript message
1184- Improved Claude apps gateway boot: it now tries the first Postgres connection up to three times before exiting, so a database that is reachable a few seconds late no longer fails the boot
1185- Improved the Claude apps gateway's spend-limit check under load: it now takes one database round trip instead of four, so fewer checks time out on a busy gateway
1186- Improved Claude apps gateway sign-in rate limit errors: `/login` now explains the refusal, and the gateway log says which limit was hit and which setting to change
1187- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and telemetry-disabled installs to use the v2 MCP client and MCP 2026-07-28 negotiation with direct HTTP servers by default, as other installs already do (opt out: `MCP_SDK_GENERATION=v1` or `MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION=legacy`)
1188- Changed `/code-review` to use leaner inline review prompts for every model that has no tuned settings of its own, instead of spawning many review subagents
1189- Changed `"type": "sdk"` MCP entries in `.mcp.json`, settings, plugins and agent files to be skipped with a warning: only an SDK host application can register in-process servers
1190- Changed artifact watching in local sessions: a new version published elsewhere no longer starts a turn; Claude learns of it from a later Artifact tool result
1191- Changed plugin and marketplace clones to leave Git LFS files as pointers instead of downloading them; `git lfs pull` in the checkout fetches them
1192- Changed self-hosted runners to skip a read-only repository the git host refuses at the access check instead of failing the session start
1193- Changed the `/status` GitHub line to read "Cloud sessions", and `/web-setup`, `/ultrareview`, and teleport messages to say "cloud session" instead of "Claude Code on the web"
1194- [VSCode] Added continuation of the step a window reload interrupted, labeled in the chat, with a Claude Code: Continue After Reload setting to turn it off
1195- [VSCode] Added Memory and Instructions entries to the Customize menu: Memory shows the auto-memory toggles, the saved memories and the memory folders, and Instructions edits the CLAUDE.md files
1196- [VSCode] Added a `claudeCode.lockEditorGroups` setting to stop Claude from locking the editor groups it opens in
1197- [VSCode] Fixed a `/btw` side question asked in a new conversation's first seconds occasionally showing another session's side-question history
1198- [VSCode] Fixed a brief freeze when the extension first looks up your global gitignore file
1199- [VSCode] Fixed a message sent while Claude was running a tool disappearing from the conversation after a window reload
1200- [VSCode] Fixed the Manage Plugins enable toggle and MCP servers dialog rows being unreachable from the keyboard
1201- [VSCode] Fixed sign-ins and sign-outs made in a terminal not showing until a reload after `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` changed in the Environment Variables setting
1202- [VSCode] Fixed Edit diffs in the chat being cut off at the bottom at some panel widths and for long wrapped lines; diff boxes now fit the rows shown
1203- [VSCode] Fixed overlapping settings writes from the extension leaving `~/.claude/settings.json` unparseable or dropping a setting
1204- [VSCode] Fixed Open in New Tab (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Esc) sometimes leaving the new tab's message box unfocused, so typing went nowhere until you clicked it
1205- [VSCode] Fixed reopening a closed Claude tab splitting the editor layout when its locked group still holds another Claude tab and a file
1206- [VSCode] Fixed New session opening another locked editor group whenever a file tab shared the group with your Claude tab
1207- [VSCode] Fixed session names shifting sideways in the session picker while typing a search query
1208- [VSCode] Fixed the plan review card cutting off its Send feedback button and reason field when a plan has several comments; the comment list now scrolls
1209- [VSCode] Fixed inline code and code blocks in chat replies being unreadable under the High Contrast themes
1210- [VSCode] Improved screen reader navigation of the conversation: each message is announced as "You" or "Claude", with the tool name for tool steps
1211- [VSCode] Changed the default global gitignore file to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore` when `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is an absolute path
1212- [Claude Code on the web] Added a "Compare against" branch picker to a cloud session's diff view, so you can diff its changes against any branch instead of only the base branch
1213- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed git operations in cloud sessions failing with "service unavailable" when GitHub's token renewal briefly errors
1214- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed editing a routine occasionally making it fire twice or re-enabling a routine that had just been paused
1215- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed commits in cloud sessions occasionally failing with a signing error for a few minutes after the session's credentials refreshed
1216- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed the toast after saving a routine whose GitHub trigger couldn't be linked to show the reason, such as a per-repository trigger limit, instead of only "edit to retry"
1217- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed sessions sometimes flipping back to unread right after you mark them read
1218- [Claude Code on the web] Changed routines to skip a run and retry for up to 72 hours when the owner's GitHub connection is missing, instead of switching the routine off at the first failed check
1219- [Claude Code on the web] Changed a routine's on-hold notice: when your subscription is paused it now tells you to turn the routine back on yourself instead of promising an automatic resume
1220- [Claude Tag] Added a Guests setting to the Add channel and Add workspace forms in Claude Tag admin settings, so owners can pick Inherit, Allow, Channel only or Restrict up front
1221- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude not answering when another Slack app or bot @mentions it; the tag now gets a reply and wakes Claude in a channel it had stopped following after days of inactivity
1222- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude missing another app's message that tagged @Claude right after a new Slack channel was created; it's now delivered once Claude has joined
1223- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude folding a follow-up sent minutes after its last Slack message into it as a silent edit; late updates such as blockers now post as a new reply that notifies
1224- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude's Slack search failing with an error whenever it searched within a single channel; it now returns that channel's matching messages
1225- [Claude Tag] Fixed a safety-filter stop silently resetting a Slack thread's context when nobody was waiting; Claude now always says so and no longer cancels background work still running
1226- [Claude Tag] Fixed email addresses in Claude's Slack replies rendering with a visible `mailto:` prefix; they now show as the plain, clickable address
1227- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude refusing to watch an Enterprise Grid channel shared with the whole organization when asked from another workspace in the grid
1228- [Claude Tag] Fixed the Environment picker in Claude Tag admin settings showing a raw environment ID instead of the environment's name for archived or app-created environments
1229- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude's live progress checklist in Slack: capped at 2,000 characters, reposted at most every 15 minutes in busy threads, with older "Latest task list" links updated
1230- [Claude Tag] Removed the repeated guest-attribution note Claude appended to a Slack canvas each time it edited one in a channel using the "Channel only" guest setting
1231- [Code Review] Fixed re-reviews occasionally leaving a fixed finding's thread open when the new review also filed a lower-severity note under it
1232- [Code Review] Fixed rare reviews ending with "Code review encountered an error" when GitHub or an internal service failed transiently at launch; they now wait and retry
1233- [Code Review] Improved how Code Review words each posted finding: short plain sentences that say who is affected, where the code goes wrong, and the fix up front
1234- [Code Review] Improved the check-run card and PR comment when a review is skipped because of an organization limit: each cause now links the admin page that fixes it
1235
1236## 2.1.273
1237
1238- Added `x-claude-code-request-class`, `x-claude-code-agent-type`, `x-claude-code-prev-tool-durations`, `x-claude-code-compaction` and `x-claude-code-context-compacted` request headers for LLM gateways; opt in with `CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_HINT_HEADERS=1`
1239- Added a notification when an MCP server disconnects mid-session and automatic reconnection gives up, pointing at `/mcp`
1240- Added forking a session started with `claude --remote-control` or `/remote-control` from the Claude app; the fork runs as a background session on your computer
1241- Fixed Bash commands the permission checker cannot fully analyze skipping the prompt under `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories`, and a subshell hiding a dangerous `rm` in bypass mode
1242- Fixed skills synced from claude.ai staying available after your organization turns Skills off; they now move to the recoverable trash
1243- Fixed `allowManagedMcpServersOnly`, `deniedMcpServers` and `disableClaudeAiConnectors` set via MDM or `managed-settings.json` being ignored when server-managed settings are also present
1244- Fixed 401/403 errors on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry, and Claude apps gateway 403s, telling you to run `/login`; the message now names the credential to refresh or points to your gateway administrator
1245- Fixed `/login`, `/upgrade`, and `/extra-usage` discarding earlier thinking from the conversation, which forced a full prompt-cache rewrite on the next request
1246- Fixed auto mode stopping for approval when the Artifact tool uploads a file you attached to the chat in a cloud or Remote Control session
1247- Fixed a long-running session recreating a stub `.git/info/exclude` after the repository's `.git` directory was removed or moved away
1248- Fixed the main prompt dropping a `!` typed at the start while already in shell mode, so negated commands like `! grep …` can be typed
1249- Fixed Read on macOS refusing a dragged-in screenshot, or any file the system reports under a second path, with "symlink resolution changed after permission was checked"
1250- Fixed `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories`: a memory directory chosen by a repository's settings is no longer loaded into the prompt, recalled, indexed, or used by memory extraction
1251- Fixed sub-agents and background agents being reported as failed, with their result never delivered, when the final streamed reply omitted token usage or carried no model id
1252- Fixed the context meter and auto-compact counting advisor-tool turns at roughly twice their real context size, which made auto-compact fire at about half the real window
1253- Fixed `/tui` refusing to restart because of an agent-team teammate that had already finished its work and was no longer shown in the agents panel
1254- Fixed saved scheduled tasks running in the wrong session after `.claude/scheduled_tasks.json` was copied into another folder, such as a new worktree
1255- Fixed SDK and `--output-format stream-json` output dropping a subagent's remaining messages and final report after it is moved to the background mid-run (e.g. by `CLAUDE_AUTO_BACKGROUND_TASKS`)
1256- Fixed `/install-github-app` reporting a SAML single sign-on block as "admin permissions required"
1257- Fixed Remote Control clients attached to a Claude Desktop, VS Code or JetBrains session being refused when they ask for the session's context window usage
1258- Fixed the spinner showing a doubled ellipsis ("……") on compaction status lines such as "Running PreCompact hooks…"
1259- Fixed a false-positive spinner tip suggesting the frontend-design plugin after reading or publishing Artifacts
1260- Reverted a 2.1.268 change that checked Read and Edit deny rules on Bash lines the permission checker can't analyze (`eval`, `env -C`); commands like `time -p make build` prompt again instead of being denied
1261- Improved responsiveness in long sessions: hook progress and sub-agent activity no longer re-process the whole conversation on every update
1262- Improved the Artifact tool's error when a publish includes a file type artifacts don't serve: Claude is told which types are served and what to do instead, and the terminal shows one plain line
1263- Improved the Artifact tool's page read to state the capabilities and database rules the artifact service holds for the page, for anyone who can publish to it
1264- Improved artifact database writes: an update can now remove a single field instead of rewriting the whole document
1265- Improved artifact publishing: a publish whose connection drops after reaching claude.ai is now re-sent safely instead of failing or creating a duplicate version
1266- Improved the cloud-session GitHub error for an IP allow list, a suspended app installation or SAML single sign-on to show the cause instead of a generic install hint
1267- Improved `/autofix-pr`: when `gh pr view` fails it now shows gh's own error (sign-in, SAML, rate limit) instead of a generic exit-code line
1268- Improved `/autofix-pr` to say why GitHub webhook delivery couldn't be set up for the PR (for example, no linked GitHub account) instead of a generic warning
1269- Improved `/web-setup` errors: a refused GitHub token now lists the likely reasons and the fix, and a connection failure names a configured proxy or TLS certificate problem
1270- Improved the in-session SSL certificate and proxy connection errors to name the error code and what to fix, such as `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` for an untrusted corporate CA
1271- Improved the error when a cloud session can't be created because your Claude login expired or was revoked: it now tells you to run `/login`
1272- Improved the error shown when an MCP server's sign-in expires mid-session to say how to re-authenticate (`/mcp`)
1273- Changed auto mode on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry to use the local classifier by default for now; set `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=1` to use the platform's server-side classifier
1274- Changed `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` to also include real agent, skill, plugin and MCP server names on cost and token metrics
1275- Changed sign-in with a Claude account to also request access to your claude.ai plugins
1276- Changed `/bug` and `/feedback` reports to include only model-behavior params (model, system prompt, tools) from the last API request, omitting request metadata and `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` fields
1277- [VSCode] Fixed "Report a problem" still appearing, and `/bug` / `/feedback` opening a report form, for organizations that have product feedback disabled
1278- [VSCode] Fixed a red "Claude Code process exited with code 4294967295" banner appearing after completed turns on Windows
1279- Windows: Improved the network-path permission check for UNC paths when a mapped network drive was added with `--add-dir`
1280- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed routines losing access to an organization connector, and still calling the old one, after an admin removed and re-added that connector
1281- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed creating a self-hosted environment from organization settings occasionally failing with a server error and leaving a half-created environment behind
1282- [Claude Code on the web] Changed the admin "Share cloud sessions" setting to live under Data and privacy instead of the Claude Code page, where Data and privacy admins can also manage it
1283- [Claude Code on the web] Added a "Discard unsaved changes?" confirmation before the New routine page or the Edit routine dialog throws away a routine name, prompt or edit you typed
1284- [Claude Code on the web] Removed the full-page desktop-app download screen that new users without a cloud environment saw on Mac and Windows; they now go straight to setup
1285- [Claude Code on the web] Improved the routine detail page: menu and rename in the breadcrumb, the on/off switch and Run now at the top, and run history beside the routine's settings
1286- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude going silent minutes after reinstalling the app when an Enterprise Grid was disconnected but one of its workspaces stayed connected
1287- [Claude Tag] Fixed scheduled tasks set up in an organization-shared private Slack channel silently never posting; they now keep running in the thread they were created in
1288- [Claude Tag] Fixed replying in an older Slack thread while Claude is mid-task sometimes restarting it from scratch and losing work it had not pushed yet
1289- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude occasionally dropping a message with an incorrect "couldn't find a Claude Code environment" notice right after your account token refreshed
1290- [Claude Tag] Fixed AWS connections refusing region-less endpoints such as Budgets, Savings Plans, WAF Classic and Import/Export; Global Accelerator requests now sign correctly
1291- [Claude Tag] Improved AWS connection failures: when a request can't be signed, such as a hostname with no region, Claude is told why and how to fix it instead of a bare error
1292- [Claude Tag] Fixed OAuth client-credentials and JWT-bearer connections failing with providers that return a lowercase token type; requests now send the standard Bearer scheme
1293- [Claude Tag] Fixed adding a channel manager being refused on Enterprise Grid shared channels, on channels where Claude hasn't been used yet, and on legacy private channels
1294- [Claude Tag] Changed Claude to start watching related public channels on its own, such as an incident channel a conversation depends on, instead of only when asked
1295- [Claude Tag] Fixed the admin Memory page not listing Slack channels Claude set up on its own even when they had saved memory; admins can now open, edit and delete that memory
1296- [Code Review] Fixed merging the base branch into a PR whose earlier review listed "Additional findings" triggering a full re-review; these pushes now get the lighter follow-up review
1297- [Code Review] Fixed a whole REVIEW.md being ignored because of an @-mention, a code span wrapped across lines, or a backticked HTML tag; only lines linking to changed files are withheld
1298- [Code Review] Improved suggested fixes to say what the fix must keep working when other code depends on the behavior being changed
1299- [Code Review] Improved review comments that point to a second affected location to state that location's issue in a full sentence instead of a cut-off stub
1300- [Code Review] Fixed `/ultrareview --post` so a retry after a GitHub error posts the findings comment exactly once instead of never or twice; the comment now names the reviewed commit
1301- [Code Review] Fixed empty or content-identical pushes being re-reviewed on GitHub repositories whose owner or name contains a capital letter; these pushes are now skipped
1302
1303## 2.1.272
1304
1305- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1306
1307## 2.1.271
1308
1309- Added fast mode in Claude Code Remote sessions (cloud and self-hosted runners): the host's fast-mode setting or `/fast` typed in the session applies where your organization allows it
1310- Added mouse support to the `/config` panel in fullscreen mode: the wheel scrolls the settings list, a click on a setting's value changes it, and the row under the pointer is highlighted
1311- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --drain-marker-file <path>`: when that file exists at a SIGTERM drain, the runner reports its exit to the server as a host drain (telemetry only)
1312- Added per-command `allowed_domains` to Bash, PowerShell and Monitor in auto mode with sandboxing: the hosts a command needs are reviewed with it and opened for it alone; other hosts are refused
1313- Added `omitClaudeMd` to agent frontmatter and `--agents` JSON, letting custom and plugin subagents run without user, project and local CLAUDE.md files; managed policy files still load
1314- Added `--accept-command <sha256>` to `claude plugin install` and `claude plugin update` to accept exactly the command a previous `--json` run displayed, instead of `-y`
1315- Added support for a `multiplier` above 1, up to 10, in the `modelPricing` managed setting and the Claude apps gateway `pricing` block, for marked-up internal chargeback rates
1316- Added a spinner tip pointing Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry and LLM gateway users to the Claude desktop app; the claude.ai desktop app tip now suggests `/desktop`, which offers to download the app
1317- Fixed a cached organization policy being reused after switching accounts, organizations, or API keys, and the policy not refreshing until the hourly check when the credential changes mid-session
1318- Fixed the tool and command lists not updating when the organization policy finishes loading after startup or changes mid-session
1319- Fixed an enterprise `managed-mcp.json` that can't be read or parsed being ignored: it now keeps exclusive MCP control (user, project and plugin servers don't load) and warns at startup
1320- Fixed org policy being fetched through, and rejected by, third-party local proxies set via `ANTHROPIC_UNIX_SOCKET`; they are again treated like other custom gateways, including for Remote Control
1321- Fixed cloud sessions rejecting every subagent tool call ("updatedInput … failed schema validation") when a workflow or agent approval was applied after the session's worker restarted
1322- Fixed `/fast off` answering "Fast mode unavailable" instead of turning fast mode off when the organization has fast mode disabled
1323- Fixed sessions started with `CLAUDE_CODE_SKIP_FAST_MODE_ORG_CHECK` re-sending fast requests every turn after the API rejected fast mode; the rejection now stands and its reason is shown
1324- Fixed fast mode under `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` failing the turn on a usage-credits limit, or retrying an overload at fast speed, instead of falling back to standard speed
1325- Fixed Bash permission checks missing the file that `fmt`, `column` and similar commands read when it follows an option the checker doesn't recognize
1326- Fixed Bash permission checks skipping files a wildcard expands to when the wildcard sits in a command's pattern or option value (for example `grep -v dir/* file`)
1327- Fixed Bash permission checks so that shell variable declaration flags cannot misrepresent the command being run
1328- Fixed Bash commands with two directory changes, a subshell, or a `cd`+`git` chain skipping the prompt under `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` in bypass and auto mode
1329- Fixed a stale `.git/config.lock` breaking `git checkout -b`, `git push -u` and `git config` for the rest of a session after a sandboxed command failed to start (Linux)
1330- Fixed settings file changes made outside the session going unnoticed on macOS machines whose system file-event service is saturated; the watcher now falls back to polling
1331- Fixed resumed `claude -p` sessions whose tools all come from MCP servers failing with "At least one tool must have defer_loading=false"
1332- Fixed turns failing with "API returned an empty or malformed response" when an LLM gateway returns the non-streaming reply as `text/plain`
1333- Fixed sustained high CPU usage and repeated tool-list requests when an MCP server sends `list_changed` notifications in a tight loop
1334- Fixed MCP OAuth mishandling client registrations: denying consent forced a new one, one for another redirect URI was reused, and a concurrent write could delete a valid one or keep a mismatched one
1335- Fixed tool search returning no match when Claude selects an MCP tool by its bare name instead of its full `mcp__server__tool` name
1336- Fixed Ctrl+O cancelling pending MCP server reconnects, and `/mcp` sent from Remote Control failing while the transcript view is open
1337- Fixed the Claude in Chrome prompt telling the model to load tools through ToolSearch when ToolSearch is unavailable
1338- Fixed cross-session messages held by the receiving session's permission-mode policy leaving no trace: headless senders now get a delivery notice, and `SendMessage` results no longer imply it was read
1339- Fixed Claude starting a second copy of a background command (such as a watch task or dev server) that was still running after the conversation was compacted
1340- Fixed `/model` warning about losing the conversation cache when switching back to the model the conversation actually ran on
1341- Fixed `/reload-skills` reporting a skill count that disagreed with the slash menu after `/cd`
1342- Fixed `/resume` and `/continue` showing only 1-2 sessions in fullscreen mode on short terminals
1343- Fixed `/resume` and `/teleport` keeping the previous conversation's file-read tracking, so Claude could edit files the resumed conversation had never read
1344- Fixed `--resume` dropping the 1M context window (`[1m]`) when the resumed session's model family differs from the configured default model
1345- Fixed artifacts attached with `/artifacts` disappearing from the session after `--resume`
1346- Fixed background sessions (`claude --bg`, `claude agents`) not watching the artifacts they publish for republishes made elsewhere
1347- Fixed custom agents, slash commands and output styles beyond the first not loading from a virtual drive that reports inode 0, such as an encrypted vault mounted as a Windows drive
1348- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions silently losing all host config (settings, skills, plugins, MCP servers) when the host config directory exceeds 64 MiB; added `--host-config-snapshot disk|memory`
1349- Fixed skills synced from claude.ai staying on disk indefinitely after signing out; copies not refreshed within `cleanupPeriodDays` now move to the recoverable trash at the next launch
1350- Fixed spinner tips suggesting commands that aren't available for your account type or are disabled in your session
1351- Fixed the `/add-dir` path input: the left and right arrow keys now move the cursor, and Enter adds only the typed path instead of also adding the highlighted completion
1352- Fixed text fields outside the main prompt moving a leading `!` to the end of what you typed (`!foo` came out as `foo!`)
1353- Fixed the interactive `/hooks` menu crashing when a hook matcher is named after an inherited object property such as `__proto__` or `constructor`
1354- Fixed a fullscreen rendering glitch where text kept a stale background color after the box around it lost its background
1355- Fixed Delete in st and Alt+arrow keys in rxvt-unicode not working in attached background sessions
1356- Fixed the terminal's replies to capability queries (`^[[?1;2c`) appearing at the shell prompt or in an editor when Claude Code exits, is suspended, or opens an editor right after starting
1357- Improved terminal rendering performance: large diffs and long transcripts render faster, with fewer slow frames
1358- Improved startup time slightly by skipping a redundant validation of built-in model data on every launch
1359- Improved hook feedback: while a SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse or SessionEnd hook runs, the spinner says so with elapsed time, and Esc cancels a prompt waiting on a SessionStart hook
1360- Improved the spinner status during long thinking: it now reads "deep in thought" after 45s, and shows "picking the thought back up" while recovering from the output-token limit
1361- Improved dynamic workflows to pause when you hit your usage limit and continue automatically when it resets, instead of dropping the affected agents
1362- Improved Remote Control to leave fewer empty sessions on claude.ai when setup fails on a flaky network
1363- Improved the Claude in Chrome message in cloud sessions when the browser can't be reached: it now says the computer may be asleep before it suggests an install
1364- Improved `claude mcp serve`: a running tool call now sends a progress update every 30 seconds, so clients show it is still running and idle timeouts don't abort a long command that prints nothing
1365- Improved Foundry and Claude Platform on AWS sessions: an `alwaysLoad` MCP server that finishes connecting mid-conversation is usable on the next turn without a tool-search round trip
1366- Improved Markdown files published as artifacts: they now render as styled document pages (title header, document typography, syntax-highlighted code)
1367- Improved Artifact tool publish errors: a publish with no file now says to write the page to a file first, and an unsupported file type is reported before a missing favicon
1368- Improved the Artifact tool's error when a page declares a capability its contract version lacks: it now lists every supported capability and notes when a newer contract version has it
1369- Improved artifact watching: a session can now watch up to 10 published artifacts at once for republishes made elsewhere, up from 5
1370- Improved PDF @-mentions to say "page count unknown" instead of a page count guessed from the file size when pdfinfo cannot count the pages
1371- Improved `/mobile` to show a single QR code for claude.ai/mobile, which opens the right app store for your phone
1372- Changed auto mode so that a skill's or slash command's inline `!` shell commands follow default-mode permission rules instead of the classifier; a command no rule decides runs as a reviewed tool call
1373- Changed auto mode so a subagent reports back to its caller through a dedicated hand-back call that the safety classifier reviews, instead of its last message being reviewed after the fact
1374- Changed Monitor watches to always have a deadline (at most 30 minutes; 10 in single-prompt `-p` runs) and notify Claude to re-arm, replacing the no-timeout `persistent` option
1375- Changed the IDE selection indicator in the prompt to a `[⧉ …]` pill that wraps with the text instead of squeezing multi-line prompts; delete it with Backspace to leave the selection out
1376- Changed the default dynamic workflow size to small on Pro plans and lowered the medium size guideline from 15 to 10 agents
1377- Changed Claude apps gateway, Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry sessions so that they no longer refresh a leftover claude.ai login that the session does not use
1378- Updated the bundled `claude-api` skill to enable `eager_input_streaming` on streaming custom tools, and to start deliverable-shaped Managed Agents work with `user.define_outcome`
1379- [VSCode] Added an Attach Open File setting that, when turned off, stops the open file from being added to messages; selected text is still attached
1380- [VSCode] Fixed the Hooks and Permission rules dialogs reporting a save that landed as failed, and the Hooks dialog going blank under a plugin-only policy lock or showing color codes in save errors
1381- [VSCode] Fixed Hooks dialog saves: no duplicate hook on replace, a header name retyped in other capitals keeps its secret, and settings.local.json is gitignored before the save returns
1382- [VSCode] Fixed session history showing only the current session when the workspace is on a Windows mapped network drive or SUBST drive
1383- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's Active filter hiding open idle sessions when Open is also checked in the filter menu
1384- [VSCode] Fixed a new chat switching back to the previous chat when the session list refreshed
1385- [VSCode] Fixed open tabs and the side bar keeping the old config folder until a window reload after `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` changed in the `environmentVariables` setting
1386- [VSCode] Fixed console windows flashing on Windows when the extension runs background commands such as git, ripgrep, and the sign-in status check
1387- [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock's hover text appearing only after a delay, and the auto-compact icon showing the browser's own tooltip beside its popup
1388- [VSCode] Improved the Hooks dialog: a save refused because of the settings file itself now opens a popup with an "Open settings file" button and the reason behind "Copy error"
1389- [VSCode] Changed the on state of toggle switches from Claude orange to the editor theme's button color
1390- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed a cloud session sometimes taking about ten minutes to respond after its process exited while the session still looked live; sending a message now restarts it right away
1391- [Claude Code on the web] Changed the Routines page on claude.ai/code to a new layout with Yours and Templates tabs and two-column routine cards that show run status, and removed its calendar view
1392- [Claude Code on the web] Added a Custom network access option to the Cloud environments editor in admin settings, with the same allowed-domains list the environment dialog on claude.ai/code offers
1393- [Claude Code on the web] Improved the Cloud environments admin page: it shows the default environment for Claude Tag and Claude Code, with a link to change it, and marks the recommended kind to create
1394- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in a channel where it stays active losing its working context about once an hour when the conversation is mostly in threads; thread activity now keeps it from being reset
1395- [Claude Tag] Fixed a thread that asked Claude to watch a pull request no longer hearing about CI failures, comments and reviews after Claude was restarted in that thread
1396- [Claude Tag] Fixed deleting the first message of a thread Claude had already replied in not ending Claude's work there; it now stops, as it did when a message with no replies was deleted
1397- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude holding back a post because of an earlier instruction addressed to a different bot or assistant; only instructions addressed to Claude bind it, and it asks when unsure
1398- [Claude Tag] Fixed the reply-mode card Claude posts on joining a busy channel saying it "sees a lot of automated posts" when the channel is only chatty or large; the card now names the real reason
1399- [Claude Tag] Improved the Environment picker in Claude Tag admin settings: options are labeled Anthropic-hosted or self-hosted, with links to edit that environment or create one
1400- [Code Review] Fixed a pull request in a repository reviewed once per PR sometimes getting no review when a commit arrived while its review was waiting to start; it now reviews the requested commit
1401- [Code Review] Fixed Code Review occasionally posting the same findings two or three times when GitHub reported an error for a review it had in fact created
1402- [Code Review] Fixed follow-up reviews re-posting a security finding a person had already resolved when a later push moved the lines it was anchored to
1403- [Code Review] Fixed reopening a finished /ultrareview cloud session in the Claude app starting the whole review over again unprompted
1404- Windows: Fixed PowerShell commands failing with "Exit code 1" and no output when the session's temp output path reaches 260 characters
1405
1406## 2.1.270
1407
1408- Fixed read-only git commands in Bash unexpectedly asking for permission after a session had been running for a while (regression in 2.1.269)
1409
1410## 2.1.269
1411
1412- Added `claude plugin eval`: run a plugin's eval suite against Claude Code and get scored, reproducible results (JSON + HTML report); see `claude plugin eval --help`
1413- Added `/output-style [name]` to list and switch output styles, including over Remote Control and in cloud and other headless sessions
1414- Added a diff of the files a Bash command changed to the Bash tool result when the Bash tool handles file edits (setting `bashEditDiffEnabled`)
1415- Added `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_REPOSITORY` to tag OpenTelemetry metrics and events with `vcs.*` repository attributes; commit events get `vcs.ref.head.*` with `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS`
1416- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS` to extend the LLM gateway `/v1/models` discovery timeout (default 3s)
1417- Added a spinner tip suggesting `/focus` for a view with just your prompt, a one-line work summary, and the response
1418- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS` (1–256) to raise the Workflow tool's per-run concurrent agent limit for inference-bound fan-outs
1419- Fixed the prompt cache being partially invalidated on the turn after a response was cut off at the output-token limit and automatically resumed
1420- Fixed a case where resuming a session after interrupting Claude mid-thought could change how earlier context was re-sent, hurting prompt-cache reuse
1421- Fixed F1/F2/F4 not working in kitty-protocol terminals and Delete in st, Alt+arrows acting as Escape in rxvt-unicode, and Shift+punctuation typing the unshifted key in WezTerm (regression in 2.1.247)
1422- Fixed remote and headless sessions reporting "waiting for your input" while background agents were still running (set `CLAUDE_CODE_BG_TASKS_REPORT_RUNNING=0` to restore the old behavior)
1423- Fixed the terminal's replies to capability queries (`^[[?1;2c`) appearing as stray text at startup in some terminals
1424- Fixed rows at the top or bottom of the transcript going blank in fullscreen after resizing the terminal
1425- Fixed a deny or ask permission rule starting with `!` applying beyond the settings source that wrote it; such a rule now applies only within its own source, and a bare `!` negation is ignored
1426- Fixed the git status Claude is told after a compaction: it is now the current status, not the one from the start of the session
1427- Fixed synced plugin MCP servers not connecting when a remote session resumes
1428- Fixed resumed headless sessions losing a turn's replies when the model was switched or a request was retried mid-turn
1429- Fixed terminal escape codes, line breaks and oversized text from a background task's on-disk record reaching the task list and task notifications when work is resumed
1430- Fixed CMYK JPEG images failing to attach with "cannot decode"; they are now converted and resized like other JPEGs
1431- Fixed the managed settings approval dialog not naming the collector for a gRPC telemetry endpoint set without a scheme
1432- Fixed plugin `headersHelper` consent prompts showing a URL path that could be misread as a different host
1433- Fixed plugin errors showing `[redacted URL]` in place of a relative Windows path with a folder name that starts with `@`
1434- Fixed missing cursor in the permission-rule, auto-mode-rule, add-directory, session-rename and feedback-review text fields when the terminal's native cursor is enabled
1435- Fixed repeated clicks on a `/fork` receipt, each under a second apart, never backgrounding the session right away while it waited for the current tool to finish
1436- Fixed plugin LSP servers that reject `shutdown` params (e.g. rust-analyzer) being left running at session end; `exit` is now sent even if `shutdown` fails
1437- Fixed the attribution reminder overriding a CLAUDE.md or memory rule against commit and pull request attribution; lines set by managed settings still apply
1438- Fixed prompt suggestions being dropped for text in Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other languages written without spaces between words
1439- Fixed synchronized output being assumed from the terminal's name in GNOME Terminal and Konsole versions that do not support it
1440- Fixed `permission_denials` in `--output-format stream-json` results omitting Read, Edit and Write calls blocked by a path-scoped deny rule
1441- Fixed sessions run through the SDK or the desktop app showing an unknown status in other sessions' agent list
1442- Fixed `/insights` failing on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and gateway deployments whose account can't reach the default Opus model by using the session model there instead
1443- Fixed organization policy limits not loading for the session when another Claude Code process refreshed the login at the same moment
1444- Fixed Claude Desktop sessions using Bedrock, Vertex, or a gateway not getting the contextual "what Claude needs" turn-end notification text
1445- Fixed MCP servers reconnecting when an updated config only changed the order of the server URL's query parameters
1446- Fixed the prompt box's top border splitting into extra lines when viewing a background agent whose name or description has line breaks or is wider than the terminal
1447- Fixed sessions getting permanently stuck on "Prompt is too long" when auto-compaction had no complete earlier exchange to summarize (mostly Agent SDK sessions with very large prompts)
1448- Fixed `/goal` runs silently stalling after API errors, network drops, or token limits: the goal now retries with backoff, or pauses and says why, including until a usage limit resets
1449- Fixed prompt cache misses in cloud sessions by waiting briefly for server configuration before the first request
1450- Fixed `/btw` answers that contained made-up tool calls and output: the side question is now told not to write them, and any that appear are flagged as not executed
1451- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` re-running a turn that had failed with an API error over 6 hours earlier, or longer ago than `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN_MAX_AGE_MS` when set
1452- Fixed organization plugins enabled through managed settings not loading in headless sessions and on Claude Desktop (once Desktop bundles this CLI version); they load from the next session
1453- Fixed plugin archives extracted for a session being readable by other local users, extracted files keeping world-writable bits from the archive, and stale files surviving re-extraction
1454- Fixed `Edit()` deny rules and the write-path check not applying to the file a Bash `tee` command writes; a `Bash(tee:*)` allow rule no longer covers destinations outside the working directories
1455- Fixed stray characters like `22c`, or a terminal's color or version reply, being typed into the prompt at startup over slow connections (ssh, browser terminals)
1456- Fixed the terminal's block cursor showing under the interface in rxvt-unicode after leaving or re-entering fullscreen
1457- Fixed the cursor block staying visible after returning from an external editor in fullscreen mode on rxvt-unicode
1458- Fixed the interface being drawn twice after returning from an external editor (Ctrl+G) outside fullscreen mode
1459- Fixed the interface being drawn twice in Konsole after returning from an external editor
1460- Windows: Fixed PowerShell tool commands sent to the background stopping when Claude Code exits
1461- Improved the `/diff` panel to open fully rendered in one step instead of showing a loading state first
1462- Improved prompt suggestion filtering for Japanese, Chinese and Korean text: mixed-script and single-word suggestions are kept, and meta or evaluative text is dropped as it is for English
1463- Improved the Skill tool's "Unknown skill" error to name the plugin skill's full name when a bare name matches exactly one plugin skill
1464- Improved keyboard support over SSH and in unrecognized terminals: terminals that answer the kitty keyboard query (such as foot and Alacritty 0.16+) now get Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift shortcuts
1465- Improved responsiveness in long sessions: transcript updates no longer re-process the whole conversation to build the collapsed tool-use summaries
1466- Improved first-party sessions with telemetry disabled: an `alwaysLoad` MCP server that finishes connecting mid-conversation is usable on the next turn without a tool-search round trip
1467- Changed `/ultrareview --post` to post the PR comment directly when the findings arrive and print the comment link, instead of starting a second cloud session to post it
1468- Changed artifact database reads that save into the session scratchpad so they no longer stop for working-folder approval
1469- Changed skills synced from claude.ai in cloud sessions to be named `anthropic-skills:<name>`, matching Claude Desktop; the bare name still works when nothing else uses it
1470- [VSCode] Added an agent map: an "N agents" footer pill opens a map of the session's sub-agents with per-agent cards, Stop agent, and read-only transcripts
1471- [VSCode] Added a Hooks dialog to the command menu for viewing hooks and adding, editing, or removing them in user, project, and local settings; managed, plugin, and session hooks stay read-only
1472- [VSCode] Added live progress rows for running subagents under the tool-call groups in Focus view
1473- [VSCode] Added a Permission rules dialog that lists permission rules and adds or removes them in user, project, and local settings; startup-option, session-only, and managed rules stay read-only
1474- [VSCode] Added a Cancel button to the Switch account screen that returns to your session as the current account
1475- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view showing a turn started by a delivered plain-text prompt, such as a scheduled task's, as part of the previous turn
1476- [VSCode] Fixed the footer's prompt cache clock hiding its minutes when the panel is narrow
1477- [VSCode] Fixed the session list keeping sessions from the default folder when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set in a settings file or the `environmentVariables` setting
1478- [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview that finished loading late sometimes hiding its comment box or showing an older plan
1479- [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview accepting comments that went nowhere after its Claude tab closed
1480- [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock and reopen notice for a session compacted after its last reply and then closed, which now reads as cold when reopened
1481- [VSCode] Fixed a session renamed in the extension while Remote Control is on keeping its old name on claude.ai/code
1482- [VSCode] Fixed the "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" toggle keeping its last position after the setting was reset to default from a terminal
1483- [VSCode] Fixed restored Claude tabs not counting as open in the session list after a window reload until clicked, and their row opening a second tab
1484- [VSCode] Fixed Switch account making a tab forget its dismissed usage-limit warnings when you sign back in as the same account
1485- [VSCode] Fixed a session rename being replaced by the generated name after a window reload when the session was renamed during a long turn
1486- [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar usage meter keeping a stale per-model weekly limit row after the account loses that limit
1487- [VSCode] Fixed a rare case where an @-mention sent with the keyboard shortcut while a new chat view was still starting could be inserted into the input long after the keystroke
1488- [VSCode] Fixed the session list jumping down when the Account & usage header appeared a moment after opening the Claude side bar
1489- [VSCode] Improved documents and messages written for someone other than the user: Claude now writes them for that audience and names it at the top of its reply
1490- [VSCode] Improved screen reader and keyboard accessibility in the slash-command menu, @-mention menu, output-style picker, Send/Stop button, permission and question cards, and onboarding checklist
1491- [VSCode] Changed the current-file chip in the message box: an X now removes it, replacing the Hide toggle
1492- [VSCode] Removed the Claude Code items from a session tab's right-click menu and the editor title bar's "..." menu; they could not act on the tab the menu was opened on
1493- [Claude Code on the web] Added taking back a queued message in a cloud session before Claude reads it: remove it from the queue, or press Esc or Up, and the text returns to the message box
1494- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed `/model default` in a cloud session leaving every later message failing in organizations that restrict which models Claude Code can use
1495- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed one-off scheduled routines occasionally running a second time after a transient server error
1496- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed routine runs that use subagents sometimes being treated as finished too early, which could skip the retry after a real failure or start a duplicate run
1497- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed file links in cloud session transcripts opening a GitHub 404 when Claude was working from a subfolder of the repository
1498- [Claude Code on the web] Changed the Cloud environments admin page to list every environment instead of capping each table at five rows behind a Show more control that could be unreachable
1499- [Claude Code on the web] Changed claude.ai/code for Free-plan users to open the plans page with a path to upgrade, instead of a "Disabled by org admin" page with no way forward
1500- [Claude Tag] Added a confirmation dialog before Connect all or Disconnect on a GitHub installation in admin settings, to guard against accidental organization-wide changes
1501- [Claude Tag] Fixed threads occasionally going silent after a failed turn because the failure notice was dropped when Slack briefly rate-limited it; the notice is now retried
1502- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude accepting a switch to a model your organization hasn't enabled and then quietly answering with a fallback model; it now declines and says an admin can enable it
1503- [Claude Tag] Fixed a table posting as raw pipe text when Claude attached files to the same message; the table now posts as a normal reply and the files follow with a plain caption
1504- [Claude Tag] Fixed `@Claude !restart` at the top level of a channel where Claude isn't active starting an unrelated conversation; it now privately says there is nothing to restart
1505- [Claude Tag] Fixed plugin rows in Slack access settings showing an unlabeled raw ID with no way to turn the plugin off; they now show its name and link to the bundle that manages it
1506- [Claude Tag] Fixed the shared-session banner and Share dialog on sessions started from Slack claiming the whole organization could open the link; they now name the Slack channel's audience
1507- [Claude Tag] Improved load time of the admin settings page and its Slack channel picker, most noticeably for organizations with many channels or several connected workspaces
1508- [Claude Tag] Improved scheduled routines in Slack channels: a routine run can now reply in an existing thread instead of always posting a new top-level channel message
1509- [Claude Tag] Improved the timestamp on Claude's live progress checklists to show each reader's local time and how long ago it was updated, instead of a fixed UTC time
1510
1511## 2.1.268
1512
1513- Added to the Claude apps gateway: with `pricing:` set in `gateway.yaml`, signed-in Claude Code clients receive the same rates through managed settings, so `/cost` and telemetry match the spend meter
1514- Added a startup warning for gateways when `access_control.allow_cidrs` is empty, and a one-time warning the first time a request arrives from a public address
1515- Added the `gatewayInternalNetworks` managed setting, letting administrators allow `/login` to a Claude apps gateway on their organization's own public IPv4 block
1516- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --remove-session-state` (default off): delete each session's per-session directories under `<base-dir>/_sessions/` when the session ends
1517- Added `configDirectory` to the output of `claude auth status --json`
1518- Added `--json` to `claude plugin install`, `uninstall`, `update`, `enable` and `disable`, and `errorDetails`/`noteDetails` to each row of `claude plugin list --json`
1519- Added browser-tab icons for published artifacts, chosen by Claude to match each page
1520- Fixed every turn failing with HTTP 400 on third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoints (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) since 2.1.265: a regex in the Artifact tool's input schema that those endpoints reject
1521- Fixed WebFetch hanging indefinitely on a server that keeps the response open without finishing; a fetch now fails after 300 seconds. Set `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBFETCH_DEADLINE_MS` to override the deadline (0 turns it off)
1522- Fixed a respawned in-process teammate picking up tools or a system prompt from a same-named agent file in a folder you have not trusted
1523- Fixed sustained high CPU usage: a busy loop in long-running idle sessions no longer pins a CPU core, and rapid terminal focus reports during a session recap no longer keep the CPU high
1524- Fixed Claude sometimes replying "your message came through empty" after an MCP tool call
1525- Fixed deny and ask permission rules on symlinked directories (`/etc`, `/tmp`, `/var` on macOS; `/bin` on Linux) not applying when a path was given by its real location, and Bash commands ignoring deny rules written on a symlinked path spelling
1526- Fixed a case where a Read or Edit deny rule did not apply when an `env -C`, `eval` or similar command the permission checker cannot analyze was on the same line
1527- Fixed plugin and marketplace errors showing a token or password from a git source URL
1528- Fixed `/mcp` and `/plugin` server details, `claude mcp list`/`get`, and MCP login errors showing secrets resolved from `${VAR}` placeholders in MCP configs
1529- Fixed prompt caching and extended thinking breaking mid-session for SDK sessions using `excludeDynamicSections`: the first message is no longer re-rendered each request
1530- Fixed entitled users being told a model is restricted after restart or in the Desktop Code tab when a cached model-access denial was stale
1531- Fixed a running session silently switching to the organization's default model when another Claude Code process refreshed a stale model-access entry
1532- Fixed long-context 429s on Fable models showing the usage-credits consent prompt instead of the 1M-context message on Pro and Team plans
1533- Fixed workload identity federation via a profile (as claude-code-action configures it): processes sharing the profile could fail mid-run with `401 … jti reused`
1534- Fixed MCP server OAuth sign-in failing with "No available ports for OAuth redirect" when the local callback port range can't be bound
1535- Fixed the conversation summary produced by `/compact` and auto-compact mangling text that contained `$` sequences
1536- Fixed resuming a conversation that ended with `/compact`: its restored-file notes now load in the same order on every resume
1537- Fixed SDK prompt suggestions, side questions and `/rename` sending the conversation from before a compaction
1538- Fixed `@` file and `/` command suggestions not appearing after recalling a previous prompt with the up arrow and editing it
1539- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing ← again at a natural pace to go back to the agent list no longer gets ignored until you pause for over a second
1540- Fixed `claude agents` session delete getting stuck when a worktree can't be removed: the message names the cause and next step, and for a git worktree ctrl+x again deletes the directory anyway
1541- Fixed background agent and workflow rows in the agents panel expanding to many lines when their text contained line breaks
1542- Fixed Claude in Slack sessions losing their Slack tools when org managed settings set an MCP allowlist
1543- Fixed Claude in Chrome asking to allow the host "https" when a navigation URL had a scheme but a host that could not be parsed
1544- Fixed the spinner wrapping onto several lines when the current task's label is long; the label and the "Next:" task line now stay within one terminal row
1545- Fixed the `/bug` and `/feedback` description field showing no cursor when the terminal's native cursor is enabled
1546- Fixed Remote Control sessions served by `claude remote-control` showing a generated name instead of their session title in `ListAgents`
1547- Fixed `claude plugin validate` rejecting plugin paths whose directory name begins with two dots, which the plugin loader accepts
1548- Fixed plugins silently skipping a default monitors file or root SKILL.md that could not be checked
1549- Fixed WebFetch's error for localhost and other dotless hostnames to explain why the URL is refused and suggest curl
1550- Fixed PermissionRequest hooks not firing in `--print` mode
1551- Fixed policy-helper warnings not printing on headless (`-p`) runs
1552- Fixed `/resume` listing a `/fork` background session under its parent's name instead of its own `⑂` fork name
1553- Fixed `/remote-control` and other claude.ai-gated commands to suggest `/login` when signed out instead of showing a Claude for Enterprise migration message
1554- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS` not extending SessionEnd hooks that have no per-hook `timeout` (they were still cancelled after 1.5 seconds)
1555- Fixed `/autofix-pr` and other cloud-session commands saying to retry or install the Claude GitHub App when no GitHub account is connected; they now point to `/web-setup` or the web connect page
1556- Fixed cloud-session commands such as `/teleport` and `/remote-env` to explain when an organization policy turns them off, instead of answering "Unknown command"
1557- Fixed Bash sandbox instructions over-stating confinement: no unenforced path lists when filesystem isolation is off, and strict mode no longer claims commands can never run unsandboxed
1558- Improved fullscreen mode: adding or removing a prompt line (Shift+Enter) now repaints as fast as typing a character instead of re-rendering the visible transcript
1559- Improved `--continue` / `--resume`: the conversation appears immediately instead of waiting for SessionStart hooks, and the first message no longer re-reads the whole transcript
1560- Improved responsiveness during tool-heavy turns by no longer redrawing the transcript for a hidden per-tool-batch reminder
1561- Improved startup time in projects with `.claude/workflows/` scripts: listing them no longer parses each script
1562- Improved auto mode denials: the message Claude receives now names the rule that blocked the action and asks Claude to try a safer method and finish unrelated work before stopping to ask you
1563- Improved Claude in Chrome: long page reads now stay inline instead of being saved to a file and read back
1564- Improved the MEMORY.md truncation warning to say how many lines were cut and where the cut starts
1565- Improved the terminal permission prompt for artifacts: it now leads with the ask's question
1566- Improved the prompt footer: an editor or `/diff` selection now shows inside the prompt input, and fullscreen mode shows Remote Control status in the header instead of the footer
1567- Improved the "Usage credits required for 1M context" message to say that usage credits turned on mid-session take effect after restarting Claude Code
1568- Improved `/plugin`: installing, enabling or disabling a plugin now takes effect when you close the menu; `/reload-plugins` is no longer needed afterwards
1569- Changed the system prompt on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry to deliver environment, model and settings details as attachments, matching first-party sessions
1570- Changed Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry sessions to keep the tool list byte-stable across a conversation (late-connecting tools load deferred instead of rewriting it), matching first-party sessions
1571- Changed the task-tracking tools (TaskCreate/Get/Update/List, TodoWrite) to be offered only on Claude 3.x, Opus 4.0–4.7, Sonnet 4.0–4.6, Haiku 4.5; set `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` elsewhere
1572- Changed the artifact data-edit permission prompt in the terminal to a card that shows the document count and who can open the artifact
1573- Changed local Cowork sessions set to skip all approvals: the Artifact tool now refuses a local file outside the session's folders, or behind a symlink, instead of reading it without asking
1574- Changed plain `WebFetch` deny and ask rules to no longer apply to Artifact tool reads and updates; use an `Artifact` rule (or `WebFetch(domain:claude.ai)`) to block or gate them
1575- Changed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice to announce each server once instead of at every launch
1576- [VSCode] Fixed the session list, settings toggles, and chat tabs when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set in a settings file or the `environmentVariables` setting
1577- [VSCode] Fixed the model pill, model picker and command menu going blank in open tabs for a few seconds after a login, logout or account switch
1578- [VSCode] Fixed Auto disappearing from the mode picker in new-tab or just-reloaded conversations when a project or local setting overrides the model named in `~/.claude/settings.json`
1579- [VSCode] Fixed session names reverting to the last prompt after a window reload when a SessionStart hook is configured
1580- [VSCode] Fixed the footer's model pill and Remote Control pill waiting for the new tab's Claude process to start when another tab in the window is already up
1581- [VSCode] Fixed a second Claude process running through its full startup when a session tab's launch arrived more than half a second after its config read
1582- [VSCode] Fixed resuming a session from the session list ignoring `claudeCode.preferredLocation: "sidebar"` (it always opened a panel), and programmatic opens resetting that setting to "panel"
1583- [VSCode] Fixed Windows issues: the WSL install prompt no longer appears on machines without WSL installed, and IDE diagnostics are now returned correctly for Windows files when WSL is installed
1584- [VSCode] Fixed the custom style builder saving a User level style in a folder the CLI does not read when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set through settings
1585- [VSCode] Added Left and Right arrow keys to change where an always-allow permission rule is saved, for keyboard and screen reader users
1586- [VSCode] Added a "Claude Code: Focus last message" command that moves keyboard focus to the newest message in the conversation, for keyboard and screen reader users
1587- [VSCode] Changed the Manage plugins dialog to apply installs, enables, disables and uninstalls to open sessions without a restart
1588- [VSCode] Changed some artifact permission prompts to omit the "don't ask again" choice, matching the terminal
1589- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed cloud sessions running longer than about six hours silently losing files saved to persisted session folders; saves now persist for up to a day
1590- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed "Invalid effort level" errors when a routine resumes a session, or a session starts with no set effort, in orgs where an admin caps a model's effort
1591- [Claude Code on the web] Improved routine creation from a conversation: when the new routine has no connectors, Claude now says so and how to add them instead of only confirming it
1592- [Claude Tag] Fixed the admin settings page hanging on a loading skeleton or going blank after a transient load failure; a section that fails to load now shows a Retry button
1593- [Claude Tag] Added a link from a Slack channel's configure page back to the organization's Claude in Slack admin settings
1594- [Claude Tag] Fixed a Slack Enterprise Grid channel losing its Claude settings (repository, environment, access) after a Slack admin moved it to another workspace
1595- [Claude Tag] Improved how Claude explains a blocked action: it now says whether a permission check, its own decision to confirm first, or missing access stopped it
1596- [Claude Tag] Improved reply speed: Claude now runs several read-only lookups (searching Slack, reading a thread, finding people) at once instead of one after another
1597- [Claude Tag] Improved formatting of comparisons: sentence-length comparisons now come as lists instead of wide tables that scroll sideways, and long table cells wrap
1598- [Claude Tag] Fixed `@Claude !restart` in a thread with its own session sometimes also posting a contradictory "this thread is handled by the channel session" notice
1599- [Claude Tag] Improved the message shown when your Claude account is in a different organization than the Slack workspace: it now explains how to connect the workspace to your org
1600- [Claude Tag] Fixed Markdown links whose URL is wrapped in angle brackets showing as literal bracket text in Slack instead of a clickable link
1601- [Claude Tag] Fixed a workspace guest's top-level @mention in a channel where guests may use Claude sometimes getting a "your Slack account isn't connected" reply instead of an answer
1602- [Claude Tag] Fixed a channel's long-running session being replaced with a fresh one mid-conversation; the scheduled refresh now waits until the channel and its threads are quiet
1603- [Claude Tag] Fixed channel-settings cards clicked more than once telling the proposing session the change was refused after it had already applied; the outcome is now sent once
1604- [Claude Tag] Changed memory in public channels: each channel now keeps its own notes, and Claude no longer recalls notes it saved in other public channels; workspace notes stay shared
1605- [Code Review] Added a note under the still-open findings list in follow-up reviews: resolving a finding's thread, not just replying to it, stops later reviews from counting it as open
1606- [Code Review] Fixed reviews sometimes ending as incomplete when one of the agents verifying a finding failed midway; the review now replaces that agent and reaches a verdict
1607- [Code Review] Fixed a push-triggered review that was queued behind a running review still posting after the pull request had been converted to draft
1608- [Code Review] Fixed reviews ignoring a directory's CLAUDE.md conventions when the PR edited a root file (e.g. README.md) that only shares a name with a file that CLAUDE.md lists
1609
1610## 2.1.267
1611
1612- Added `maxEffortLevel` setting (top-level or per model under `modelSettings`): caps the effort level on every provider, including Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry; users can still pick a lower level
1613- Added `--system-prompt-snapshot off` to render the system prompt fresh on every request instead of reusing the conversation's recorded prompt (for iterating on prompt text)
1614- Fixed Cowork scheduled tasks in the cloud failing at startup for organizations whose managed settings require sandboxing
1615- Fixed `/context` and other local command output rendering blank on mobile clients
1616- Fixed shift+enter and option+backspace not working after reconnecting to a tmux or ssh session inside an agent view
1617- Fixed the dim last-prompt header not appearing at the top of the conversation when scrolling up in fullscreen mode
1618- Fixed Workflow `agent()` calls with large output schemas being refused in auto mode instead of being checked by the safety classifier
1619- Fixed a case where a marketplace entry path containing a backslash could bypass the containment check for fetched marketplaces on macOS and Linux
1620- Fixed expired AWS or Google Cloud credentials under a host app such as Claude Desktop retrying ten times with a generic "request failed" before the re-authenticate error appeared
1621- Fixed resuming a session after `/compact` or another slash command ran via `-p --resume`: a spurious "Continue from where you left off." turn is no longer inserted
1622- Fixed resuming a large session (transcript over 5 MB): parallel tool calls and their hook output are no longer dropped from the reloaded conversation
1623- Fixed managed `allowedHttpHookUrls`, `httpHookAllowedEnvVars` and `allowedChannelPlugins` to admit nothing, not everything, when unreadable
1624- Fixed `/login` on machines whose managed settings require Claude apps gateway sign-in: Esc now closes the dialog instead of doing nothing
1625- Fixed artifact publishes cut off by a dropped connection mid-upload: they now retry once when Claude Code can tell the upload never completed, instead of reporting an unknown outcome
1626- Fixed `effort:` frontmatter on custom commands, skills, and subagents being ignored on models whose default effort is still pinned (Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, Fable 5)
1627- Fixed artifact publish failing with an unhelpful error when the page file isn't valid UTF-8 or contains a replacement character (U+FFFD); the error now names the line and column to fix
1628- Fixed `claude agents` `@` directory menu not listing repositories created after the session started
1629- Fixed Remote Control clients that join a Claude Desktop or VS Code session showing a stale permission mode until it was changed again
1630- Fixed `claude remote-control` exiting and dropping every attached session when its server credential expires (about 30 days after start); the host now re-registers and keeps going
1631- Fixed the usage-limit warning flickering on and off during a session when requests for different models or modes report different limit windows
1632- Fixed earlier reasoning being dropped when an MCP server re-sends, or a built-in tool re-renders, a tool the model already loaded
1633- Fixed a tool that disappears mid-conversation, from a disconnected MCP server or an upgrade, rewriting the tool list and discarding earlier thinking
1634- Fixed a background worker forked from a conversation adding EnterWorktree to the conversation's tool block mid-session, which broke prompt-cache reuse
1635- Fixed mid-session MCP and plugin tools being added to the tool list in sessions without ToolSearch, which broke prompt-cache reuse; supported models now receive them as deferred definitions
1636- Fixed switching models with /model re-sending every tool definition (a prompt-cache miss); commit and PR attribution text now arrives as a conversation note that updates on model changes
1637- Fixed resumed sessions rewriting the inline tool set when an MCP connector reconnects at a different moment than before
1638- Fixed resumed sessions re-rendering tool descriptions instead of replaying the recorded ones when the first turn ran a tool
1639- Fixed prompt-cache misses and dropped extended thinking when a claude.ai connector's tools change between a session and its resume
1640- Fixed resumed sessions rewriting earlier MCP tool announcements (and dropping extended thinking) before their connectors reconnect
1641- Fixed a prompt-cache break when a print-mode (`-p`) conversation is resumed interactively: the system prompt prefix no longer changes
1642- Improved the `/diff` panel: it no longer flashes "0 files changed" and a spinner before settling, and its empty state is centered in the panel
1643- Improved the Bash tool's description guidance so Claude describes what a command does in plain words instead of echoing the command
1644- Improved sandbox guidance so Claude suggests `/copy` when clipboard commands such as `pbcopy` fail inside the sandbox
1645- Improved `--resume` first-render time for sessions with many Bash tool calls
1646- Improved prompt input responsiveness: keystrokes no longer occasionally wait a frame behind spinner or streaming repaints
1647- Improved prompt-cache stability: subagents and sessions started with `--system-prompt` or `--append-system-prompt` now record the system prompt and tool definitions once instead of re-rendering them
1648- Improved Artifact tool publish errors: when a publish is refused, the message now says why and what to do about it
1649- Self-hosted runner: Changed `--use-anthropic-git-proxy` to be reported to the server at registration and to print a warning for each session that still clones through the legacy git proxy
1650- Gateway: Changed `forward_user_identity` upstreams to return a 429 as-is to a developer whose email was forwarded, instead of failing over to the next upstream, so the proxy's per-user limits hold
1651- [VSCode] Fixed the extension host hanging at 100% CPU when forking, editing an earlier message, or rewinding in a conversation whose saved transcript contains a cyclic parent link
1652- [VSCode] Fixed pasting a screenshot on WSL2/WSLg inserting raw image bytes into the chat input; the image is now attached when the clipboard provides it, otherwise the paste is ignored
1653- [VSCode] Fixed chat diff blocks always rendering with a dark editor theme; they now follow the active VS Code color theme, including high contrast
1654- [VSCode] Fixed mixed right-to-left and English text rendering in the wrong order while typing in the message input
1655- [VSCode] Fixed accepting an edit in the diff view on a file with Windows (CRLF) line endings failing with "String not found in file"
1656- [VSCode] Fixed @-mentions dropping files whose paths contain spaces
1657- [VSCode] Fixed the sessions list view failing to load in windows connected over Remote-SSH when the workspace folder exists only on the remote host
1658- [VSCode] Fixed runaway ripgrep processes when viewing files in large or symlink-heavy workspaces
1659- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed GitHub Enterprise Server sessions showing your GitHub account as disconnected once its token expired; PR and issue operations now refresh it automatically
1660- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed `gh` and GitHub API calls failing in organizations without the Claude GitHub App; they now use your connected GitHub account and say so when none is connected
1661- [Claude Tag] Added a "Use a custom connector" link to the preset connection forms in Claude Tag admin settings, so you can switch to a custom connection without starting over
1662- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude replying "The API rejected the request as invalid" when the organization has run out of usage credits; the reply now says so and explains how to add more
1663- [Claude Tag] Fixed thread requests to edit or delete a message Claude posted at the channel's top level being answered with a correction instead of reaching the session that posted it
1664- [Claude Tag] Fixed **Connect** on Tool access requests under Admin settings > Review requests failing with "Authorization failed" or showing the requested access bundle as deleted
1665
1666## 2.1.266
1667
1668- 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
1669
1670## 2.1.265
1671
1672- Added `user.email` and `user.groups` to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway, matching terminal sessions
1673- 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
1674- Added a 1 GB cap on tool results saved to disk; the in-conversation preview says when a saved file was truncated
1675- Fixed resuming a foreground-spawned subagent changing its tool list and system prompt prefix, which broke prompt-cache reuse for that agent
1676- 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
1677- 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
1678- Fixed `/model opusplan[1m]` being rejected with "Model not found"
1679- Fixed syntax-highlighted code in permission prompts and messages sometimes omitting a character after a Ruby `?`, Erlang `$`, or Perl `$` sigil
1680- Fixed the fullscreen transcript jumping by one row whenever the slash-command or @-file suggestion list opened or closed
1681- Fixed a plugin path containing a backslash bypassing the symlink containment check on macOS and Linux
1682- Fixed plugin directories whose names begin with two dots being wrongly refused as outside the plugin root
1683- Fixed VS Code and SDK sessions occasionally requiring re-login when a session was closed while refreshing its token
1684- 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
1685- Fixed background (`--bg`) sessions occasionally being retired mid-turn when a message arrived just before the idle timeout
1686- Fixed Claude Code's own git status and diff probes running clean filters configured by a nested repository inside the working tree
1687- 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
1688- 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
1689- 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
1690- 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
1691- Fixed forked skills (`context: fork`) not streaming their kickoff prompt and, with `--forward-subagent-text`, their text turns as progress events in stream-json
1692- 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
1693- 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
1694- 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`
1695- 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
1696- 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
1697- Fixed `/clear` from Remote Control waiting on SessionStart hooks and on open terminal dialogs before completing
1698- Fixed the `/config` dialog changing height when switching between its tabs
1699- 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
1700- Fixed the `claude-api` skill's error-code reference: model access failures return 404 and unavailable beta headers return 400, not 403
1701- 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
1702- 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
1703- 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)
1704- Fixed remote sessions keeping their sandbox container alive while a connector approval or sign-in link waits for you
1705- Fixed resumed sessions showing long model-facing recovery instructions in "background task didn't finish" notices instead of a short status line
1706- 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
1707- Improved `--worktree` startup on large repositories: the new worktree is now checked out in parallel (git 2.32+)
1708- 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
1709- 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
1710- Improved remote MCP servers that need sign-in: Claude Code no longer registers an OAuth client with them until you actually authenticate
1711- Improved the time to resume long sessions that read many files
1712- 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
1713- 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
1714- 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
1715- 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
1716- 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
1717- 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`
1718- 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
1719- [VSCode] Added automatic archiving of sessions inactive for a set period (new "Archive inactive sessions" setting, default 14 days)
1720- [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
1721- [VSCode] Fixed the timeline dot sitting below the text on the "Remote Control is active" message
1722
1723## 2.1.263
1724
1725- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
1726
1727## 2.1.261
1728
1729- 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
1730- 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
1731- 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
1732- Added `/skill-doctor` to show which loaded skills go unused and what they cost in context, so you can prune them
1733- Fixed typed or pasted characters occasionally landing out of order or being dropped during fast input or key repeat
1734- Fixed `/add-dir <subdirectory>` printing a false "couldn't be resolved" error when the working directory is on a `/net` automount
1735- 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
1736- 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
1737- Fixed being unable to delete the character immediately before an inline `[Image #N]` chip in the prompt input
1738- Fixed resuming a session losing hook output and other context around parallel tool calls, which changed the resumed request
1739- 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
1740- 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`
1741- 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
1742- Fixed Remote Control uploading a session pulled with `/teleport` into the connected session, which appeared appended to the original on phone and web
1743- Fixed Remote Control's inbound event stream failing behind TLS-inspecting corporate proxies on native Windows
1744- Fixed Remote Control sessions showing the default effort level on claude.ai when the effort comes from settings
1745- Fixed `gcpAuthRefresh` opening a browser at startup when the Google credential check was slow, even though the credential was still valid
1746- Fixed claude.ai connectors staying absent for the whole session when the startup connector fetch timed out — the CLI now retries in the background
1747- Fixed sustained high CPU usage when a background agent could not be resumed and its wake-up was retried in a tight loop
1748- Fixed feature flags gated to a newer version occasionally applying to an older Claude Code version running on the same machine
1749- 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
1750- Fixed `claude -p --resume <file>` adopting a malformed session ID recorded in the transcript; it now resumes under a fresh session ID instead
1751- Fixed the terminal progress indicator (iTerm2, Ghostty, ConEmu) showing the session as finished while a background workflow or agent was still running
1752- Fixed a rare layout glitch where a box could render with the wrong height after its container switched between row and column direction
1753- 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
1754- 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
1755- Fixed Desktop and web showing a session as busy while it only watches an artifact for updates
1756- Fixed Claude in Chrome `file_upload` failing with "paths: expected array, received undefined" in local Cowork sessions run from the Claude Desktop app
1757- 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
1758- 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
1759- 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
1760- 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
1761- 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
1762- Improved streaming performance: already-rendered blocks are no longer re-checked by layout on each update
1763- Improved the dangerous-`rm` safety prompt to also catch `rm -rf` on positional parameters and inside double-quoted `sh -c` scripts
1764- 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
1765- 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
1766- 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
1767- 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
1768- 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
1769- Changed `/context` token counting to use a local estimate when the token-counting API is unavailable, instead of extra small-model requests
1770- [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
1771- [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
1772- [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
1773- [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
1774- [VSCode] Added "Archive session" to the session list's right-click menu and gave Unarchive its own icon
1775- [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
1776- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename box opening empty for a tab restored with the window; it now starts with the current name
1777- [VSCode] Fixed collapsed sections in the session list panel briefly showing expanded each time the panel loaded
1778- [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
1779- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's active-row highlight going stale when an unfocused Claude tab's session ID is corrected
1780- [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
1781- [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
1782- [VSCode] Fixed the model picker showing models an organization has since disabled until the window was reloaded twice
1783- [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
1784- [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
1785- [VSCode] Fixed the pending question card not reappearing after the Claude panel reloads when signed in with a Claude.ai or Console account
1786- [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
1787- [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
1788- [VSCode] Fixed the next queued permission prompt keeping text typed on the previous prompt and accepting an immediate second click
1789- [VSCode] Fixed install-plugin links opening the Claude sidebar without the install dialog in a window where only the session list had been shown
1790- [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
1791- [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
1792- [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
1793- [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" so flipping it also applies right away to sessions open in other VS Code windows
1794- [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
1795- [VSCode] Changed the model picker to one flat list of every model, with rows kept for older model spellings listed last
1796
1797## 2.1.260
1798
1799- Added a diff panel that opens beside the conversation in fullscreen mode and shows your uncommitted changes as Claude edits; toggle it with `/diff`
1800- 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
1801- Added `/reload-plugins` to headless sessions, so it appears in the Claude Code Desktop and SDK command lists
1802- Added a text form of `/advisor` (`/advisor`, `/advisor <model>`, `/advisor off`) for the desktop app, Remote Control, and other headless (`-p`/Agent SDK) sessions
1803- 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
1804- Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in `desktop` policy blocks, including `userPluginMarketplacesEnabled` and `userPluginUploadsEnabled`
1805- 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
1806- 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
1807- 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
1808- 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
1809- Fixed `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` on macOS hiding the user's git config from sandboxed git and hiding a worktree-isolated sub-agent's own checkout
1810- Fixed managed settings not loading for claude.ai Enterprise/Team users who also had a leftover API key from an earlier `/login`
1811- 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
1812- 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`
1813- Fixed `model: fable` agents ignoring the `[1m]` tag on an `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_FABLE_MODEL` pin and silently running with a 200K context window
1814- 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`
1815- 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
1816- 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
1817- Fixed model switching being blocked for the session when an organization-managed plugin's marketplace could not be loaded
1818- Fixed SDK-provided MCP servers (e.g. Desktop connectors) sometimes missing from the first turn and only appearing on the next one
1819- Fixed Claude in Chrome tools failing with "Not connected" mid-task in cloud-hosted claude.ai sessions when a connector was added or removed
1820- 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 `…`)
1821- 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
1822- Fixed `/rewind` and `--rewind-files` reporting success when checkpoint backup files were missing and nothing was actually restored
1823- 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
1824- 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
1825- 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)
1826- 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
1827- 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
1828- Fixed intermittent "task output swap refused" errors when many sessions share a project directory
1829- Fixed Ctrl+Z in fullscreen leaving the shell on the alternate screen, drawn over the paused interface
1830- Fixed Workflow tool subagents being restarted as stalled while a long context compaction was still in progress
1831- 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
1832- 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)
1833- Fixed the Artifact tool's first call failing with an "Invalid tool parameters" validation error in some Cowork sessions
1834- Fixed IDE line selections being dropped when running a skill or slash command (the "N lines selected" context now reaches Claude)
1835- Fixed repository detection for GitLab projects in nested subgroups (e.g. `gitlab.com/group/subgroup/project`)
1836- 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
1837- 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
1838- 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
1839- 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
1840- 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
1841- Improved the Claude apps gateway's refresh-failure log to name the step that failed
1842- Improved idle CPU usage of non-interactive (`-p` / SDK) sessions
1843- 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
1844- 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
1845- 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
1846- Improved `/ultrareview` and `claude ultrareview` to wait up to 45 minutes (previously 30) for long-running cloud reviews
1847- Improved `/effort` on Claude Fable 5.1 so changing effort mid-session no longer invalidates the prompt cache
1848- 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
1849- Changed `ctrl+l` / `cmd+k` in fullscreen mode to clear the transcript view like a terminal `clear`; scroll up to see earlier messages
1850- 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
1851- 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
1852- 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
1853- Changed Claude apps gateway to send `orgPluginSettings` in the list form read by Claude Desktop 1.15200.0 and later; older desktops ignore it
1854- 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
1855- 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
1856- 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
1857- 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
1858- [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
1859- [VSCode] Added Open and Closed to the session list's status filter menu
1860- [VSCode] Fixed the welcome screen disappearing in a new session when Remote Control turns on automatically
1861- [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
1862- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename command silently doing nothing while the tab's view was reloading; it now always applies
1863- [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
1864- [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" not applying to a session tab that was still starting when the toggle was flipped
1865
1866## 2.1.259
1867
1868- 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
1869- 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
1870- 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
1871- Added `--json` to `claude plugin validate` for a machine-readable validation report
1872- 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
1873- Fixed a conversation whose thinking was rejected once being rejected again on every later turn
1874- 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
1875- Fixed the prompt cache being invalidated when the OAuth token refreshed in sessions with telemetry disabled
1876- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank conversation after a long turn with hundreds of tool calls
1877- 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
1878- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS` being ignored for Vertex-style model IDs (`@YYYYMMDD` suffix) of model versions Claude Code doesn't recognize
1879- Fixed the live output preview of a running shell command hiding its newest lines when an earlier line wrapped
1880- Fixed a background GitHub connection check that ran on every launch for claude.ai users; the result is now remembered across launches
1881- Fixed `--resume` failing (and `--continue` opening an empty conversation) when a saved session contains an attachment entry with no payload
1882- Fixed frontmatter `model:` on custom commands and skills being ignored in interactive sessions
1883- Fixed Artifact publishing failing once with an "unexpected parameter `note`" error in conversations continued from an older version
1884- Fixed managed `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` being ignored at startup when a policy helper configured by MDM or the managed settings file had already run
1885- Fixed worktree isolation refusing hook-created worktrees on machines where `git rev-parse` fails with a message other than "not a git repository"
1886- Fixed OpenTelemetry metrics and events from cloud sessions missing the `user.email`, `organization.id`, and `user.account_uuid` attributes
1887- Fixed MCP servers that disconnect while their tools are being listed at startup showing as connected with no tools instead of reporting the error
1888- Fixed the file edit permission dialog sometimes showing a changed line cut short with no indication
1889- Fixed repository detection dropping a known repo identity after a transient git probe failure
1890- 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
1891- 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
1892- Fixed resuming a workflow run while its previous stopped run was still exiting, which could run duplicate copies of its agents
1893- Fixed marketplace repo URLs on github.com with a trailing slash or dangling `?`/`#` producing an unusable `.git` clone URL
1894- 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
1895- Fixed remote (claude.ai) sessions taking 60 seconds to start a turn after a browser-hosted MCP server's page had gone away
1896- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing common Bash loops, xargs pipelines and launcher-wrapped commands that cannot reach the main checkout
1897- Improved terminal resize and first-render performance for long responses by reusing text measurements
1898- Improved `/workflows` agent detail: JSON outcomes are pretty-printed with syntax colors and real line breaks, and long outcomes fold behind an expand toggle
1899- Improved headless/SDK session start: the first turn begins up to 50 ms sooner when MCP servers finish connecting
1900- Improved `/install-github-app` to explain it is GitHub-only and point to the GitLab CI/CD docs when run inside a GitLab repository
1901- 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
1902- 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
1903- [VSCode] Added an Active quick filter and a status filter menu (Needs input, Working, Completed) to the session list sidebar
1904- Fixed remote and scheduled sessions doing nothing after a connector-tool permission prompt was approved while the session was paused
1905
1906## 2.1.258
1907
1908- Fixed Claude Code failing to launch on macOS 12 (Monterey), a regression introduced in 2.1.255
1909- Fixed remote and scheduled sessions failing with "user messages must have non-empty content" after a re-sent permission approval could not be applied
1910
1911## 2.1.257
1912
1913- 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
1914- 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
1915- 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
1916- 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
1917- Added `s` in `/effort` to change effort for the current session only, matching `/model`
1918- Added a `/doctor` warning for stale sandbox mask files left by a killed session
1919- 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`)
1920- 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"
1921- Fixed settings in a `.claude/` folder created after startup not being picked up until restart
1922- 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`
1923- 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
1924- 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
1925- Fixed the working spinner stopping while a response streams behind a slash-command panel
1926- Fixed a background session's `state.json` `detail` repeating its own dispatch prompt after a scheduled wake-up
1927- Fixed `claude agents` keeping a background session you re-prompted buried in Completed after it finished again; Completed now orders by the latest finish
1928- 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
1929- Fixed Remote Control connecting mid-session re-sending the Bash tool definition, causing a prompt-cache miss
1930- 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`
1931- 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
1932- Fixed a leftover Anthropic API key or auth token being sent alongside your Foundry subscription key in API-key mode
1933- Fixed `/schedule` routines whose prompt was saved without a message role and then ran with nothing to do
1934- Fixed `claude agents` not saying that a background session is waiting for you to approve a message from another session, or who sent it
1935- 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
1936- Fixed telemetry (OTEL) settings pushed through server-managed settings being ignored on warm starts, including desktop-app Code sessions
1937- Fixed a teammate permission request being answered twice when the leader's mailbox write was briefly locked
1938- Fixed a phantom duplicate slash-command row rendering below the in-flight turn while a command's auto-continued response streamed
1939- Fixed `policyHelper` `timeoutMs` and `refreshIntervalMs` values above the timer maximum (2147483647) causing failures or re-runs every millisecond; they are now clamped
1940- 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
1941- 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
1942- Fixed dismissing the Remote Control consent prompt (Esc, or `n` at `claude remote-control`) counting as consent, so the next request connected without asking
1943- 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
1944- Fixed `claude mcp remove` leaving a remote server's stored OAuth credentials behind when `strictPluginOnlyCustomization` locks MCP to plugin-only servers
1945- Fixed Remote Control (`claude remote-control`) sessions started from the Claude app ignoring the selected model and running on the machine's default instead
1946- Fixed `--disallowedTools` and session deny rules being dropped after the first settings reload when `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly` is enabled
1947- Fixed `--resume` listing a backgrounded conversation twice and `--continue` reopening its stalled pre-background copy; `--continue` now also opens finished background sessions
1948- Fixed fullscreen mode not letting you click `!` shell command output to expand it
1949- Fixed background sessions left running an older Claude Code binary piling up across auto-updates instead of being retired
1950- Fixed `claude agents --json` briefly switching the terminal to raw mode and undoing another program's terminal settings on exit
1951- 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
1952- 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
1953- 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
1954- 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
1955- 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
1956- 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
1957- 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
1958- 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
1959- Fixed the main agent not being told when you resume a subagent you had stopped from its transcript view
1960- Fixed a crash when pasting ANSI-colored text (e.g. a CI log) into dialogs like `/feedback`
1961- 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
1962- 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
1963- 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
1964- 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
1965- Fixed resuming or messaging a subagent whose transcript had grown past 5 MB (for example after reading many images) failing with "No transcript found"
1966- 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"
1967- Fixed `/model` and `/effort` showing a prompt-cache warning after rewinding a conversation back to empty
1968- Fixed prompt-cache misses on every turn in long screenshot-heavy sessions once images exceeded the per-request size cap
1969- Fixed the Edit permission prompt's diff view rendering emoji and multi-code-point characters with incorrect widths
1970- Fixed WebSocket MCP server connection failures being logged as "[object ErrorEvent]" instead of the underlying error
1971- 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
1972- Fixed background commands that detach from their shell (for example under `timeout` or `setsid`) surviving a task stop or Claude Code exit
1973- Fixed Claude not being told when you stop a background command from the tasks panel or a connected client
1974- Fixed stopping a background subagent leaving its monitors running
1975- Fixed sandboxed git commands in a linked worktree losing write access to the repository's common `.git` directory after `cd` into a subdirectory
1976- 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
1977- 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
1978- 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
1979- Fixed leftover `cc-daemon-*` folders in the system temp directory after an interrupted background daemon start; the `cleanupPeriodDays` retention sweep now removes them
1980- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving certain `[[ ]]` conditionals that zsh parses differently from bash; these commands now prompt for approval
1981- 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
1982- Fixed agent-team teammates in tmux/iTerm2 panes sometimes staying open after acknowledging a shutdown request
1983- 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
1984- 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
1985- Improved prompt input responsiveness by reducing per-keystroke rendering work
1986- 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
1987- Improved `/code-review --comment` to post findings on GitLab merge requests via `glab mr note` instead of reporting the target as unsupported
1988- 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
1989- Improved verbose/transcript output: async hook completion notices that arrive together now appear on one line instead of one line per hook
1990- 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
1991- 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
1992- Improved MCP connection and OAuth debug/error logs so credentials carried in a server's URL or request headers are redacted
1993- 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
1994- Improved emoji autocomplete to accept the remaining GitHub/Slack shortcode aliases (`:satisfied:`, `:telephone:`, `:collision:`, …)
1995- 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
1996- 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
1997- 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
1998- 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
1999- 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
2000- Changed `/btw` history browsing from `←`/`→` to `Shift+←`/`Shift+→` (or `[`/`]`), stepping through your recent side questions and back to the live answer
2001- 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`
2002- 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
2003- 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
2004- 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
2005- Changed Cowork and claude.ai cloud sessions: reading an artifact that isn't yours now always asks you first, even in auto mode
2006- Removed the Ctrl+E command explanation on Bash and PowerShell permission prompts
2007- [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
2008- [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
2009- [VSCode] Added a collapse toggle to the Ungrouped section of the session list
2010- [VSCode] Added output style selection to the command menu, including custom styles
2011- [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
2012- [VSCode] Fixed the session list panel's usage meter staying blank after the panel loads; it now shows the last known usage immediately
2013- [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
2014- [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
2015- [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
2016- [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
2017
2018## 2.1.252
2019
2020- Fixed Bash commands failing with "task output swap refused (tasks dir moved or linked)" on some Macs
2021- Fixed "always allow" not saving in a project that has no .claude/settings.local.json yet
2022- 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
2023- 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
2024
2025## 2.1.251
2026
2027- 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
2028- Added live streaming of a foreground subagent's tool calls and results to Remote Control clients (background subagents, the default, still show status only)
2029- 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
2030- 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
2031- 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
2032- 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
2033- 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
2034- 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
2035- Fixed the Workflow tool reading (and quoting in errors) a `scriptPath` outside what the session may read before the permission check ran
2036- Fixed Grep and Glob not applying `Read(...)` deny rules to files reached through a symlinked search path
2037- Fixed conversations getting stuck on "text content blocks must be non-empty" errors after a turn where the model produced only thinking
2038- Fixed the first launch on a fresh install starting in default mode instead of auto mode for accounts whose startup default is auto mode
2039- 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
2040- 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"
2041- Fixed TUI lag with many parallel subagents: per-second progress ticks now replace their predecessor instead of piling up in the transcript
2042- 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
2043- 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)
2044- Fixed managed-settings `disableAutoMode` arriving mid-session not moving an already-running auto-mode session back to default mode
2045- 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
2046- 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
2047- Fixed cloud sessions telling Claude the model had changed when the host was only setting the session's initial model
2048- Fixed Remote Control reporting a failure when an organization's policy disables it; it now shows a single quiet notice instead
2049- 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
2050- 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
2051- Fixed session transcripts being silently overwritten when a directory change relocated a session onto an existing same-ID transcript
2052- Fixed background sessions and their subagents being unable to edit files inside a git worktree they created with `git worktree add`
2053- 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
2054- 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
2055- 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
2056- Fixed self-hosted runner leaving a stuck session's Bash tool processes running after the session was force-stopped
2057- 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
2058- 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
2059- Fixed Ctrl+G failing with "Emacs quit unexpectedly" in background sessions for editors that open `/dev/tty`, such as `emacs -nw` and `micro`
2060- 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
2061- Fixed the MCP server menu's copy shortcut: it now says how the sign-in URL was copied instead of always claiming success
2062- 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
2063- Fixed `claude mcp add --header` and `claude mcp add-json` help text naming the wrong transports
2064- 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
2065- 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
2066- 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
2067- 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
2068- 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
2069- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt re-appearing after signing in again to the same Claude apps gateway when the settings are unchanged
2070- 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
2071- Fixed cloud session creation advising GitHub setup after a transient GitHub connection failure — the message now says to retry instead
2072- Improved CPU usage during turns in interactive sessions by cutting redundant UI re-renders
2073- Improved install size: the native binary is about 5 MB smaller
2074- 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"
2075- 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
2076- Improved framing of messages from your own subagents: Claude is told the sender is a worker inside this session, not an unrelated Claude session
2077- Improved the prompt placeholder to read "Message @name…" while viewing a background subagent or fork transcript opened from the subagent panel or `/tasks`
2078- Improved sanitization of MCP server names in error messages, menus, and command results
2079- 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
2080- Improved the managed settings approval dialog to list only the settings that changed since you last approved them
2081- 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
2082- Changed `/radio` to be available on Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, and when telemetry is disabled
2083- 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
2084- 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
2085- 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`)
2086- Changed the default model for seat-based Enterprise subscriptions to Opus 5, matching other premium plans
2087- Changed `/effort` to save your default effort level per model, so each model keeps its own setting when you switch
2088- 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`
2089- 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`
2090- 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
2091- 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
2092- 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
2093- 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`)
2094- 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
2095- Removed syntax highlighting for six rarely used languages (1c, gml, isbl, mathematica, maxima, sqf); the binary is 2.5 MB smaller
2096- [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
2097- [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`
2098
2099## 2.1.250
2100
2101- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2102
2103## 2.1.248
2104
2105- 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
2106- Added `experimental.cacheTtl` (`"5m"` or `"1h"`) to agent frontmatter: a per-agent prompt cache TTL used when no subagent TTL setting is configured
2107- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --client-label <label>` (or `SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_CLIENT_LABEL`) to override the label the runner registers with (default: hostname)
2108- 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`)
2109- 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
2110- 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
2111- Added cross-session messaging (`SendMessage` / `ListAgents`) between sessions on the same machine on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, and when telemetry is disabled
2112- 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
2113- 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
2114- 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
2115- 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
2116- 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
2117- 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
2118- 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
2119- Fixed `claude agents` skipping the workspace trust prompt when the `CI` environment variable is set
2120- Fixed `claude agents` crashing on launch when the PR-status cache held a malformed entry
2121- 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
2122- Fixed agent view sometimes opening an older conversation, and dropping the typed prompt, when starting a new session
2123- 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
2124- 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
2125- 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
2126- 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
2127- 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
2128- 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
2129- Fixed `/login` to a Claude apps gateway hanging when the managed-settings security approval dialog was required
2130- Fixed gateway model discovery (`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY`) never running when `apiKeyHelper` is the only credential
2131- Fixed `claude logs` leaving mouse tracking, bracketed paste and the alternate screen switched on in the terminal it was run from
2132- 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
2133- 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
2134- 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
2135- Fixed Remote Control sessions occasionally never showing a permission prompt or the latest messages on the connected device after the CLI silently reconnected
2136- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally failing at startup when the container's session credentials were not yet readable
2137- Fixed `claude remote-control` rejecting its own flags (e.g. `--spawn`, `--name`) when a global flag or a wrapper-injected option precedes the subcommand
2138- Fixed startup warnings (e.g. "N MCP servers need authentication") rendering one column right of the rest of the transcript
2139- 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
2140- Fixed @-mentions of other sessions not matching names typed with non-Latin characters (for example Korean entered through an IME)
2141- 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
2142- 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`)
2143- [VSCode] Fixed a chat tab getting stuck on "No conversation found" when its session was never saved; it now starts a new conversation instead
2144- 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
2145- 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
2146- Improved managed settings: client-side timeout, MCP startup-mode, and stream-watchdog env vars no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
2147- 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
2148- 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
2149- Changed shift+enter in the agent view dispatch input to insert a newline (matching the prompt); ctrl+enter now dispatches and attaches
2150- Changed `/loop`: self-paced dynamic mode and the no-prompt autonomous default are now always available, including on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
2151- 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
2152- Changed cross-session messaging in Linux user namespaces: root-equivalent trust for unmapped owners is limited to canonical system directories
2153- 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
2154
2155## 2.1.247
2156
2157- 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)
2158- Added `{id, text, cooldownSessions, priority}` entries, `tipsFile`, and `label` to `spinnerTipsOverride`, so organizations can rotate their own tips alongside the built-in ones
2159- Added a tip on Bash permission prompts pointing to auto mode, with a one-keystroke "Yes, and switch to auto mode" option
2160- 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
2161- Updated the `/claude-api` skill with Admin API coverage (organization members, invites, workspaces, API keys, rate limit reports, workload identity federation, CMEK)
2162- 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`
2163- 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
2164- 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"
2165- Fixed Ctrl keyboard shortcuts not firing under non-Latin (e.g. Cyrillic) keyboard layouts in kitty-protocol terminals
2166- Fixed text like `<35;150;7M` being inserted into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across reads right after the escape prefix
2167- 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
2168- Fixed `/terminal-setup` overwriting your entire Zed `keymap.json` instead of merging in its keybinding
2169- Fixed `/rename` silently confirming when the session registry could not be updated; it now says other sessions may still show the old name
2170- Fixed `/compact` and "Summarize from here" in sessions started with `--agent` summarizing under the default system prompt instead of the conversation's own
2171- 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
2172- 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
2173- 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
2174- 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
2175- 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
2176- Fixed Remote Control sessions started with `/remote-control` not reporting the working-tree diff to connected clients
2177- 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
2178- 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
2179- 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
2180- 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
2181- 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
2182- 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
2183- 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
2184- 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
2185- 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
2186- Changed the prompt-footer PR badge to skip its GitHub re-check on terminal refocus when the last check is under a minute old
2187- Changed analytics to stay off from startup, not only after login, when managed settings force gateway login or a custom OAuth deployment is configured
2188- 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)
2189- 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
2190
2191## 2.1.246
2192
2193- 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
2194- Added an Auto mode tab to `/permissions` for viewing and editing auto mode classifier rules
2195- Added the turn's completion time to the end-of-turn duration line, e.g. `✻ Sautéed for 23s · done 6:05 PM`
2196- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank transcript after resizing the terminal and jumping to the bottom until the next keypress
2197- 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
2198- Fixed erratic fullscreen scrolling when positioned at an earlier message, including jump-to-bottom getting stuck mid-transcript
2199- 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
2200- 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
2201- Fixed markdown rendering being disabled for a whole message when its first 500 characters contained no markdown, and for `+`/`N)` lists and setext headings
2202- 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
2203- Fixed MCP tool arguments being sent as JSON strings when the parameter's schema is empty (`{}`), instead of their real type
2204- Fixed a command interrupted mid-run showing as "Ran 1 shell command" with no sign it was cut
2205- Fixed pressing ← or running `/background` during a dynamic workflow restarting its finished subagents; it now asks first and says how many subagents would restart
2206- 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"
2207- Fixed `claude agents` listing a backgrounded named session twice; backgrounding the same conversation again now numbers the new row (e.g. `my-session (2)`)
2208- Fixed the background retention sweep removing git worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` that you created yourself when an old background-session record pointed at them
2209- Fixed auto mode tool calls being denied as "temporarily unavailable" on very large sessions by scaling the safety-check deadline with prompt size
2210- Fixed the plugin cache creating duplicate SHA-named directories for the same plugin
2211- Fixed plugin skills whose frontmatter `name` already includes the `<plugin>:` prefix showing it doubled in the slash menu (e.g. `/plugin:plugin:skill`)
2212- Fixed `claude plugin update` failing for an installed plugin given its bare name (only the fully-qualified name worked)
2213- Fixed plugin installation failing when `plugin.json` was saved with a UTF-8 byte-order mark (BOM)
2214- Fixed `/reload-plugins` reporting 0 skills for plugins that define skills under `skills/*/SKILL.md`
2215- Fixed hook error messages showing a literal `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` instead of the resolved plugin path
2216- 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`
2217- Fixed custom theme diff colors (`diffAdded`/`diffRemoved` and their dimmed variants) being ignored in diffs and the `/theme` preview
2218- 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`
2219- Fixed `/stats` activity heatmap showing each day's activity one cell off (Sunday's count under Monday) in timezones east of UTC
2220- Fixed `/fork` from an already-forked or backgrounded session starting the new session with an empty conversation
2221- Fixed prompts beginning with `/--` (e.g. Lean doc comments) being rejected as an unknown slash command instead of being sent to Claude
2222- Fixed the `@` file picker staying open after the typed text stopped matching a real path
2223- Fixed the status line's cost and duration resetting to zero after navigating to the agents view and back
2224- 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
2225- Fixed path completion failing when the completion token or working directory contained a null byte
2226- Windows/macOS: Fixed headless sessions not cleaning up stale entries in `~/.claude/sessions` left by sessions that exited uncleanly
2227- 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`
2228- 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
2229- 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
2230- 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)
2231- 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
2232- 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
2233- Fixed the `Notification` hook not firing while the sandbox "Network request outside of sandbox" permission prompt is waiting
2234- Fixed Bash permission checks to always require approval for malformed commands with a dangling `&&` or `||` operator
2235- Fixed `--strict-mcp-config` sessions prompting to approve `.mcp.json` servers they would never load, which left background sessions waiting at startup
2236- 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
2237- 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
2238- 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
2239- 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
2240- Fixed the task progress count (e.g. `3/5`) shown for background cloud sessions such as `/autofix-pr` occasionally missing a task
2241- 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
2242- 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
2243- 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
2244- 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`
2245- Improved Bash tool latency on bash shells by replaying snapshot functions without a base64 subshell per function
2246- 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
2247- 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
2248- 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
2249- 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
2250- `/goal`: Changed idle sessions to start at most three check-ins on long-running background work per goal; your next message allows three more
2251- Changed `claude install` and `claude update` to defer a pending managed-settings consent prompt to the next interactive session instead of prompting mid-command
2252- 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
2253- Fixed the command sandbox's filesystem configuration not respecting `--setting-sources`
2254
2255## 2.1.245
2256
2257- Fixed a crash on startup on Linux distributions that ship glibc 2.44 (for example Arch Linux, CachyOS and Fedora Rawhide)
2258
2259## 2.1.243
2260
2261- 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
2262- 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
2263- 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
2264- 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
2265- 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
2266- 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
2267- Added a `managed` marker in `/mcp` and `/plugins` on claude.ai connectors whose authentication is managed by your organization
2268- Added a tip pointing claude.ai users who haven't connected GitHub for Claude Code on the web to `/web-setup`
2269- 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
2270- Added the model (and effort level) each subagent ran on to `/tasks` and the agent detail dialogs
2271- 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
2272- 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)
2273- Fixed auto mode staying unavailable at startup when a temporary server-side disable was cached and later flag fetches failed
2274- 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
2275- Fixed the `/model` picker silently ignoring an Ultracode selection; picking Ultracode now applies it to the current session
2276- Fixed `/resume` only listing the 50 most recent sessions; the picker now loads more as you scroll
2277- 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
2278- Fixed cross-session messaging silently turning off inside user namespaces and rootless containers after the 2.1.232 socket-directory hardening
2279- 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
2280- Fixed `spellcheck` not underlining a misspelled word typed directly after an emoji
2281- Fixed background subagents not waking when their last background Bash task completes
2282- 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`
2283- Fixed auth, model-availability, and other client-generated error messages rendering like model output instead of as error lines
2284- 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
2285- Fixed server-managed `companyAnnouncements` not showing at startup in a session that began with signing in (for example the first launch after `/logout`)
2286- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `Bash(cat *)` firing on unrelated Bash commands when the command contained `$()` or backtick command substitution followed by more arguments
2287- Fixed plugin dependencies declared with a `marketplace` field never resolving when both plugins are loaded together via `--plugin-dir`
2288- 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
2289- Fixed `--agents` silently ignoring invalid JSON or invalid agent definitions; it now exits with a clear error, like `--mcp-config`
2290- Fixed `/status` showing "Found invalid entries in: ." with no filename when `~/.claude.json` has an invalid MCP server entry
2291- Fixed `/clear` removing the `/rename` session name from the prompt bar even though the name was kept for the new session
2292- Fixed Ctrl+R history search and up-arrow history breaking when `~/.claude/history.jsonl` contains a malformed entry
2293- Fixed Ctrl+[ not leaving vim INSERT mode in terminals that encode modified keys (modifyOtherKeys / kitty protocol)
2294- 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
2295- 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)
2296- 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
2297- Fixed `claude --teleport <session>` exiting on uncommitted changes instead of offering to stash them and continue, as the session picker already does
2298- Fixed `/web-setup` repeatedly asking you to log in when an older GitHub CLI (without `gh auth token`) was already authenticated
2299- 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
2300- [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
2301- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view sections you expanded collapsing on their own during subagent tool activity
2302- 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
2303- Improved native install and auto-update download size: the binary is now zstd-compressed (about 75 MB instead of 340 MB on Linux x64)
2304- 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
2305- Improved native binary size: about 2 MB smaller by storing the bundled skill and prompt text more compactly
2306- 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)
2307- Improved peak memory usage in long-running sessions (the runtime now garbage-collects sooner as the heap grows)
2308- 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
2309- 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
2310- 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
2311- 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
2312- 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
2313- 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
2314- 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
2315- Fixed `claude remote-control` exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
2316- 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
2317- 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
2318- 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
2319- [VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
2320- [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

2330## 2.1.239
2331
2332- Cost estimates (`/cost`, status line, `--max-budget-usd`) now include the 1.1× US-only-inference premium for data-residency workspaces
2333- Added the one-time fullscreen renderer offer on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other previously excluded setups; new installs there now start in fullscreen
2334- 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`)
2335- 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
2336- 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)
2337- The usage-limit message shown when your monthly spend limit is already used up now also says when your session or weekly limit resets
2338- 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
2339- 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`
2340- Fixed a raw crash dump when starting Claude Code from a directory that no longer exists; it now prints a clear message
2341- Fixed Edit and Write calls pausing for about 5 seconds in JetBrains IDE terminals when the Claude Code plugin is connected
2342- 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
2343- Fixed WebFetch retaining expired page content in memory for the whole session instead of the intended 15 minutes
2344- Fixed cloud sessions (Claude Code on the web, desktop and mobile apps) resuming out of plan mode after an idle worker restart
2345- 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
2346- Fixed remote MCP servers staying failed after a transient 5xx on a mid-session reconnect in cloud sessions or via SDK `setMcpServers()`
2347- Fixed custom session titles disappearing from `/resume` after more than ~64 KB of conversation was written following the rename
2348- Fixed `claude -c`/resume picking up sessions from a different directory whose path differed only by characters like `_`, `-`, or `.`
2349- 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
2350- 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
2351- Fixed the `dark-ansi` theme rendering expanded tool results in fullscreen mode with text the same color as the background
2352- Fixed the fullscreen renderer prompt reappearing on every launch when it could never be answered; it now stops after being shown on three launches
2353- Fixed `.worktreeinclude` patterns starting with `**/` silently matching nothing when the target lived in a gitignored directory
2354- Fixed agents, skills, and commands whose `.md` file starts with a UTF-8 BOM being silently ignored
2355- Fixed `/insights` echoing literal `<message>` tags in its response on some models
2356- Fixed marketplace `metadata.pluginRoot` having no effect: bare plugin source names now resolve under it as the docs describe
2357- Fixed mouse movement in browser-based terminals inserting text like `"35;150;7M"` into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across writes
2358- Fixed custom theme overrides for the effort/ultracode status badge colors being ignored
2359- 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
2360- Fixed vim mode in the agent view: Escape now switches to NORMAL mode and keeps your text instead of clearing the prompt
2361- Fixed the `selection:copy` keybinding silently dropping a text selection that had been extended with Shift+Arrow keys
2362- Fixed the `/voice` startup tip still appearing after voice dictation was enabled via the `voice.enabled` setting
2363- Fixed shell-mode (`!`) Tab completion dropping the `./` from a `./script` path, which left a command the shell couldn't run
2364- Fixed fullscreen mode answering a permission prompt or pressing a button when you clicked the terminal window only to bring it back into focus
2365- Fixed slash-command panels (e.g. `/config`, `/model`) in fullscreen mode covering the latest messages; the conversation now stays pinned above the panel
2366- Fixed the `/workflows` detail dialog overflowing the terminal and losing its header off-screen when opened while Claude is still responding
2367- Fixed the Linux sandbox making a nonexistent `.git/config.worktree` unreadable, which broke every sandboxed git command in repos with `extensions.worktreeConfig` set
2368- 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
2369- Fixed `claudeMdExcludes` not excluding a symlinked `.claude/rules` file when the pattern names the rules directory or the symlink rather than its target
2370- 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
2371- Fixed sessions whose title starts with `/` being unaddressable by `SendMessage` and shown as "(untitled)" in `ListAgents`
2372- 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
2373- 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
2374- Fixed Ctrl+Backspace deleting one character instead of a word in search boxes
2375- Fixed a request rejected by an organization policy check being re-sent before the rejection was shown
2376- Improved the reminder shown after compaction so a skill's original arguments are not re-run as a new request
2377- Long file paths on tool-use rows now truncate in the middle to stay on one line
2378- Remote sessions keep sending keep-alives while a long `SessionStart` or `Setup` hook runs, so the container is not idle-reaped mid-hook
2379- `/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
2380- `/goal`: resuming a session from the `claude --resume` picker now restores its active goal
2381- `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 …"
2382- `ListAgents` and `/list-agents` now list your live teammates (previously only subagents and other sessions appeared, so a reachable teammate looked absent)
2383- `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
2384- 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
2385- Claude in Chrome: `/clear` now closes the session's Chrome tab group, and empty groups are closed on `/resume` and when Claude Code exits
2386- Remote sessions: images uploaded from mobile now include their saved file path, so Claude can copy them into files it creates
2387- 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
2388- Remote Control: clearer message and `claude doctor` wording when Remote Control isn't enabled for your account
2389- 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
2390- [VSCode] "View usage" in the usage-limit banner now sits inline with the warning text instead of floating mid-banner
2391
2392## 2.1.238
2393
2394- 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
2395- 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
2396- 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`)
2397- 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
2398- 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
2399- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long interactive sessions: subagent tool results are now released once they leave the recent display window
2400- Fixed custom, project, and plugin output styles drifting back to the default voice mid-session
2401- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION=true` not keeping prompt suggestions on when your account is near, but not over, its usage limit
2402- Fixed worktree-isolation Bash refusals telling you to remove a redirect when the command had none
2403- 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
2404- 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
2405- Fixed leftover `/tmp/claude-*-cwd` files when a Bash command is killed, times out, or is interrupted
2406- Fixed held Backspace being ignored on terminals that send Ctrl+H for Backspace when keystrokes arrive in large bursts (slow SSH/mosh links)
2407- Fixed text-wrapping in permission prompt diffs: lines containing wide multi-code-point characters (such as emoji) or tabs are no longer clipped
2408- Fixed killing a suspended (Ctrl+Z) session sometimes leaving the terminal in bracketed-paste mode with the cursor hidden
2409- Fixed stdio MCP servers receiving a `server/discover` request before `initialize`, forcing lazy servers to start their backend on every session open
2410- Fixed a proxy's refusal of a connection being reported as a generic network error instead of naming the proxy
2411- Fixed the `/model` and `/effort` cache-miss warning appearing when the prompt cache had already expired
2412- Fixed per-task Stop from the Remote Control tasks panel doing nothing on CLI-hosted sessions
2413- Fixed remote sessions exiting when a client delivered a user message without a valid role
2414- Fixed Remote Control sessions started by `claude remote-control` inheriting session-scoped environment variables from the launching shell
2415- 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
2416- Fixed Remote Control messages sent from the web or Desktop while Claude is mid-turn disappearing from the transcript after the turn finishes
2417- Fixed Remote Control model picks made on a phone or web not updating the model shown in the terminal
2418- Fixed Remote Control disconnecting with "login expired" when a brief network hiccup delays renewing your sign-in; it now retries and stays connected
2419- Fixed Remote Control reporting a failed reconnect on sign-out; signing out now ends the session with a clear message
2420- 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
2421- 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
2422- 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
2423- 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
2424- Improved startup: bare `claude` starts sooner on macOS
2425- Improved Bash tool permission checking for zsh-specific syntax in shell conditionals
2426- 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
2427- Improved startup responsiveness: the automatic update check now runs about 10 seconds after launch instead of competing with startup for CPU
2428- 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
2429- 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
2430- Changed `claude mcp list` and `claude mcp get` to show disabled servers as `⊘ Disabled` instead of connecting to them for a health check
2431- 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`)
2432- 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
2433
2434## 2.1.237
2435
2436- Fixed prompt caching for sessions using an LLM gateway or custom base URL
2437- 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.
2438
2439## 2.1.236
2440
2441- 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`)
2442- 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)
2443- 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
2444- 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)
2445- 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
2446- 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
2447- Fixed `SendMessage` calls being rejected when a malformed closing tag left the message text inside the summary field
2448- 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)
2449- Fixed fullscreen mode sometimes not showing a newly sent message until the next update after the terminal was resized
2450- 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
2451- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt sometimes not appearing at startup while still capturing the first keypress as approval
2452- 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
2453- Fixed an unclear error when the cloud environments list came back empty or malformed
2454- Fixed the Fable 5 first-time usage-credits prompt auto-selecting the fallback model after 60 seconds with no answer when using Remote Control
2455- Fixed spinner tips never appearing, with a repeated background error, when the cached guest-pass reward in `~/.claude.json` was malformed
2456- 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+)
2457- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions released on idle, retire, or startup timeout occasionally resuming on another runner before the post-session hook had finished
2458- Fixed the Clawd mascot's eyes and feet rendering unevenly in iTerm2 at some font sizes
2459- Fixed occasional runaway session recaps: recap text (automatic and `/recap`) is now capped at 400 characters, cut at a word boundary
2460- Improved startup performance: the session counter is now written in the background
2461- 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
2462- 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
2463- 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
2464- 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
2465- `/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
2466- `/usage` now shows the usage-credits spend row for Team and Enterprise members, and shows a capped row at 0% before anything is spent
2467- 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
2468- 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
2469- Remote Control now marks a session offline within seconds when the CLI exits or its terminal closes
2470- `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
2471- Aligned the session title chip on the prompt border with the footer's right edge
2472- 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
2473- [VSCode] Added screen reader support for the transcript: live announcements for replies, permission requests, errors, and status changes, plus per-turn heading navigation
2474
2475## 2.1.235
2476
2477- Added an optional `spellcheck` setting that underlines misspelled words in the prompt input as you type, using your installed `aspell`, `hunspell`, or `ispell`
2478- Fixed whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server disconnected or reconnected mid-session
2479- Fixed nested markdown list items misaligning at depth 3+ and added a hanging indent to wrapped list items in the terminal UI
2480- Fixed prompt input highlights (slash commands, keywords, mentions) appearing shifted by one or more characters in some multi-line prompts
2481- Fixed Shift+Tab inside the permission prompt's comment field approving the edit and granting session-wide edit permission instead of closing the field
2482- 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
2483- 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
2484- Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing HTML entities instead of the actual characters
2485- Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
2486- Fixed the expanded task list (`ctrl+t`) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching into a session that still has open tasks
2487- 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
2488- 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
2489- 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
2490- Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to `/config` to re-enable it
2491- Vim mode: NORMAL mode and cursor position are now preserved when toggling the detailed transcript (ctrl+o) or closing a panel
2492- Dialogs: arrow keys and Enter pressed in quick succession now select the option you navigated to instead of the previously highlighted one
2493- `SendMessage` now refuses messages too large for cross-session delivery up front instead of silently dropping them
2494- Remote Control: `claude rc` now applies the same enterprise-gateway availability check as interactive startup
2495- [VSCode] Fixed focus jumping between open Claude tabs on its own when a window with several Claude panels is restored or reloaded
2496
2497## 2.1.234
2498
2499- 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
2500- 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
2501- 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
2502- Claude Code now continues your session automatically when a claude.ai usage limit resets; turn it off in `/config` ("Continue automatically at usage limit")
2503- Claude is now told to use your account email only to identify you, and not to send it to unrelated services unless you ask
2504- 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
2505- Fixed auto mode in very long sessions repeatedly re-checking and denying sandboxed commands' network access after the conversation had been compacted
2506- Fixed session-scoped permission answers (including denies) being dropped when answering background subagent tool permission prompts
2507- 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
2508- Fixed markdown rendering becoming extremely slow for some messages containing unusual Unicode sequences
2509- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a recipient copied from `ListAgents` when the session name is at the 200-character cap or emoji-heavy
2510- Fixed repository detection mis-reading the host of git remotes with unusual userinfo, producing links and repo-specific behavior for the wrong host
2511- Fixed MCP diagnostics printing resolved secrets: scope-conflict warnings now show the configured `${VAR}` form, and connection-failure details show only the server origin
2512- Fixed `strictKnownMarketplaces` allowlists accepting SCP-style git marketplace sources whose host differs from the one git would actually connect to
2513- Fixed modal text such as the `/login` OAuth URL losing characters when copied in fullscreen
2514- Fixed a `---` horizontal rule in rendered markdown running into the line after it
2515- Fixed consecutive shell commands splitting into multiple "Ran 1 shell command" rows when todo/task updates were interleaved between them
2516- Fixed dialogs like `/permissions` opened while a `!` shell command was running being dismissed when the command finished
2517- Fixed a queued `!` shell command being sent to the model as plain text after pressing up-arrow to edit the queued input
2518- 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
2519- 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
2520- 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
2521- Fixed trust prompts omitting the repository-wide scope warning when the directory was first seen before the repository existed there
2522- Fixed a case where an IDE diff tab closing during a permission re-prompt could answer the new prompt with the previous input
2523- 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
2524- 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
2525- 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
2526- 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
2527- Fixed: provider API tokens that mask on permission previews now mask even when directly followed by shell delimiters
2528- 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
2529- 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
2530- 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
2531- 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
2532- `SendMessage` and `ListAgents` now say when your account's session list was too long to check completely, instead of treating unseen sessions as absent
2533- Expired Anthropic profile credential now points you at `/login` when a claude.ai login would take precedence
2534- Improved the transcript: your own prompts now render markdown (highlighted code blocks, inline code, lists) the same way replies do
2535- 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
2536- 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")
2537- Reduced the context cost of loading the built-in `claude-api` skill from ~200k+ tokens to ~25k by loading reference docs on demand
2538- `/permissions` can now be opened while Claude is working — rule changes apply to the rest of the current turn
2539- `/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
2540- `/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
2541- `/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)
2542- `claude setup-token` now rejects unexpected extra arguments instead of silently ignoring them
2543- Changed Esc in fullscreen mode to no longer clear a mouse text selection: it interrupts or dismisses as usual and the selection stays highlighted
2544- Removed the redundant "Allowed by auto mode classifier" line that auto mode showed under every Agent tool call
2545- Removed the "Default teammate model" setting from `/config`; agent-team teammates now use the leader's model unless the spawn names one
2546- Dimmed the elapsed-time counter on the running tool header so it no longer competes with the bold counts
2547- Background task notifications delivered between turns are now sent to the model inside `<system-reminder>` tags, matching mid-turn delivery
2548- Mantle: skip the admin-pin availability probe at startup when a main-loop model is already picked
2549- Windows: startup no longer stalls on repeated rename retries when `~/.claude.json` is read-only
2550

2553- Added GitLab merge request URL support to the `--worktree` flag and the `claude agents` view (where MRs display as `!N`)
2554- 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
2555- 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
2556- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBFETCH_CACHE_TTL_MS` environment variable to configure the WebFetch session URL cache TTL (default unchanged: 15 minutes)
2557- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally being marked as lost when the environment shut down while Claude was waiting on a permission prompt
2558- 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)
2559- Fixed Notification hooks not firing for permission prompts when running under Claude Desktop or VS Code
2560- Fixed idle sessions on Linux sometimes keeping one CPU core at 100% when sandboxing is enabled
2561- 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
2562- Fixed skill/command argument substitution to prevent argument values from being re-expanded as template markers
2563- Fixed Windows paths spelled with the NT `\??\` device prefix bypassing UNC path validation, closing an NTLM credential-leak vector
2564- 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
2565- 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
2566- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check a bare `.claude/skills` directory, reporting SKILL.md files whose frontmatter fails to parse
2567- 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
2568- 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
2569- 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
2570- 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
2571- Windows: fixed auto mode repeatedly stopping for manual approval on ordinary `cd <dir> && <command> > file` Bash commands (a 2.1.232 regression)
2572- 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
2573
2574## 2.1.232
2575
2576- 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
2577- Type `@` in the prompt to mention another Claude session by name; Claude then uses `SendMessage` to reach that session directly
2578- `SendMessage` now delivers to a bare name that exactly matches one live session, instead of asking to confirm with a ref first
2579- 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
2580- Added `/config` rows for "Dialog expiry" and "Messages from your other sessions" (cross-session inbound accept/hold/refuse)
2581- 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`
2582- 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
2583- Settings: `additionalMarketplaces` and `allowedMarketplaces` are now accepted as friendlier aliases for `extraKnownMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces`
2584- 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
2585- 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
2586- 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
2587- Fable 5 is offered as an advisor in `/advisor` again for organizations with Fable access, with usage-credits consent set up through `/model fable`
2588- Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass where variable-writing parameters could silently overwrite `$PSDefaultParameterValues` and redirect later commands' file access
2589- 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
2590- Fixed nested git repositories inheriting trust from a parent directory; each repository now requires its own trust confirmation
2591- 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
2592- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by a bridge inside a cloud session inheriting that session's transcript or credentials
2593- 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
2594- Fixed Remote Control sessions appearing unreachable to newly attached clients while idle
2595- Fixed Remote Control bridge sessions not restoring conversation history when the session worker restarts
2596- 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)
2597- 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
2598- Fixed voice mode on native builds getting stuck on "listening…" when the voice service rejected the connection; the rejection is now shown immediately
2599- Fixed mTLS client certificate rotation requiring a restart; Claude Code now reloads the rotated cert and key automatically on connection errors
2600- Fixed malformed AWS or Vertex region values being used to build request URLs; they now fall back to the default region
2601- Fixed stream idle timeout errors failing the request instead of recovering on Bedrock, Vertex, and gateway deployments
2602- Fixed content-sized overlays containing truncated text rendering one column too wide, and start-truncated text collapsing to an ellipsis
2603- Fixed a stray garbled character where a long shell-command or agent-description preview was cut off mid-emoji
2604- Fixed a startup race that could silently unregister a plugin marketplace due to concurrent writes to `known_marketplaces.json`
2605- Fixed `/update` and `/tui` refusing to restart while work that survives the relaunch was running
2606- Fixed usage-limit guidance suggesting unavailable slash commands in SDK and remote sessions
2607- Fixed the consent message for interactive `--advisor fable` launches, which told you to run `/model fable` in an interactive session that had just exited
2608- Improved fullscreen streaming: long sessions stay responsive because the whole conversation is no longer re-normalized on every update
2609- 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`)
2610- `/feedback` and `/bug` now open immediately when invoked while Claude is responding, instead of waiting for the turn to finish
2611- `/plugin install plugin@marketplace` now refreshes the marketplace first, so newly published plugins install without a manual marketplace update
2612- `/code-review` at high, xhigh, and max effort now runs in a background agent like the other levels
2613- Pasted and clipboard images are read without blocking the event loop
2614- 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
2615- 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
2616- Updated agent panel: completed subagents hide immediately with a `/tasks` footer hint, and the "↓ N more" overflow indicator moved left for visibility
2617- 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
2618- Bash input redirections (`< file`) are now permission-checked like their argument spellings on all platforms
2619- Shortened the message shown when resuming a completed background agent
2620- Cowork sessions no longer inline external @-imports from user-scope memory files
2621- 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
2622- Hardened the Linux filesystem sandbox against a protected-path bypass
2623- Changed `sandbox.ripgrep` to be honored only from user, managed, and `--settings` settings; project settings can no longer override the sandbox's ripgrep binary
2624- Removed the startup tip suggesting you create custom subagents, and the matching nudge in the `/powerup` tour
2625
2626## 2.1.231
2627
2628- Fixed MCP OAuth sign-in failing with a redirect URI mismatch for servers that use a pre-registered OAuth client, such as Slack
2629
2630## 2.1.229
2631
2632- Documented `claude remote-control --continue` for resuming the most recent Remote Control session
2633- Added server-supplied Claude Code hook support for self-hosted runner sessions, matching managed-environment behavior
2634- Added SSE keepalive pings to gateway streaming responses during long thinking pauses, preventing idle-timeout disconnects on Vertex and Bedrock upstreams
2635- 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
2636- `ListAgents` now marks disconnected Remote Control sessions as `offline` and labels your cloud sessions as `cloud`
2637- Fixed long responses partly disappearing while streaming and being printed twice in the terminal
2638- 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
2639- 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)
2640- Fixed a crash on Windows when a tool call or message referenced a file by an extended-length (`\\?\`) or UNC path
2641- Fixed auto mode failing on every tool call for users who disable the attribution header via `CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER` (direct Anthropic API connections)
2642- Fixed `/model` rejecting Sonnet/Opus 1M for claude.ai subscribers using a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway
2643- Fixed MCP OAuth with strict authorization servers by using `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` in the redirect URI
2644- Fixed Remote Control clients showing a stuck working spinner after a slash command typed in the laptop terminal
2645- Fixed the Claude Code Review workflow generated by `/install-github-app` completing without posting its review on the pull request
2646- Fixed multi-second UI stalls after editing a file with thousands of IDE diagnostics while the IDE extension is connected
2647- Fixed one-shot `claude plugin` commands leaving a stray liveness file that could prevent cleanup of outdated plugin versions
2648- Fixed dynamic workflows inside CPU-limited containers using the host machine's core count instead of the container's CPU limit
2649- 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
2650- Fixed SDK and `--input-format stream-json` sessions getting a 400 API error when a whitespace-only message was submitted
2651- 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
2652- Fixed OpenTelemetry export from Claude Desktop sessions being rejected by the Desktop-managed gateway when that gateway is also the telemetry endpoint
2653- 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
2654- Fixed self-hosted runner repository preparation hanging on a Git Credential Manager prompt; git now fails fast when credentials are missing
2655- 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)
2656- Improved "prompt is too long" errors to explain why automatic compaction could not recover instead of only suggesting `/compact`
2657- Improved sandbox: IPv6 literals in network domain lists are now bracketed (`[::1]:443`), and ambiguous spellings are enforced fail-closed and flagged by `/doctor`
2658- Updated `/login` to repeat the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` override warning after a successful login
2659- Changed `/commit-push-pr` so git/gh commands with dangerous flags (`--force`, `--amend`, `--no-verify`, etc.) are no longer auto-approved
2660- Changed self-hosted runner Windows startup to require an explicit `--base-dir`; there is no default checkout directory on Windows
2661- [VSCode] "Report a problem" and `/bug` now open the built-in feedback dialog instead of a retired survey link
2662- [VSCode] Made the `/btw` side-question panel resizable by dragging its boundary, in both side-docked and stacked layouts
2663- [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
2664
2665## 2.1.228
2666
2667- Fixed interactive sessions that could stop redrawing entirely, while the process kept running, after a rare internal layout error
2668- Fixed `git` / Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code is launched from a parent folder of the git installation
2669- Fixed `/tui` reverting the session to an earlier model when `/model` had been changed since the last response
2670- Fixed cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox in the first session after install or upgrade
2671- Fixed Remote Control `/resume` while connected leaking the resumed conversation's title or history into the connected session
2672- 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
2673- Fixed self-hosted runners ending sessions in the gap between a background task finishing and the follow-up turn starting
2674- Fixed session cleanup deleting contents inside a project's memory folder
2675- Fixed background plugin-cache cleanup deleting a plugin's cache when its only version is a symlinked development checkout
2676- 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
2677- Fixed the deferred-tools reminder occasionally being sent to the model twice after a skill invocation
2678- 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
2679- 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
2680- Improved Vertex AI credential handling: expired or missing Google Cloud credentials now fail within seconds instead of retrying for minutes
2681- Improved compaction progress: the retry countdown and stall hint now appear during compaction instead of only a progress bar
2682- Updated terminal title busy-spinner glyphs to reduce tab-bar jitter on some terminals
2683- 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
2684- Removed the outdated note about auto mode sessions costing slightly more from the first-use notice for Pro, Max, and Team plans
2685
2686## 2.1.227
2687
2688- 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
2689- Fixed every Bash command failing under `claude-code-action` with `allowed_non_write_users` on GitHub-hosted runners
2690- Fixed `/tui` bringing back a conversation that had been rewound to before its first message
2691- 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
2692- Improved performance: fewer event-loop stalls on file-not-found suggestions and at-mention size checks
2693
2694## 2.1.226
2695
2696- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2697
2698## 2.1.225
2699
2700- 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)
2701- Added a workspace trust prompt to `claude agents` for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of `claude`
2702- 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
2703- Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
2704- 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
2705- Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
2706- Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
2707- Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
2708- 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
2709- Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
2710- 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
2711- [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
2712- 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
2713- 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
2714
2715## 2.1.224
2716
2717- 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
2718- Added `archive` plugin source: install plugins from a zip over HTTPS without git or npm, with optional SHA-256 pinning
2719- Added a cancel-and-confirm step when removing an unavailable paste changes a command's text
2720- Added `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX` env var for Bedrock to prefer a specific cross-region inference profile over the `AWS_REGION`-derived one
2721- 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
2722- 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
2723- 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)
2724- 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
2725- Fixed `SendMessage` reporting "Message sent" when the write to a teammate's inbox had actually failed; failed deliveries are now reported as errors
2726- Fixed sandbox filesystem deny entries written with a trailing slash (e.g. `denyRead: "~/.aws/"`) being silently bypassable on Linux and macOS
2727- Fixed sandbox violation details never appearing in Bash tool results; Claude now sees which file or network access was denied and why
2728- Fixed MCP tools that connect mid-turn being deferred for tool search without their names announced to the model
2729- Fixed plugin install records being silently corrupted when the same plugin is installed in multiple projects
2730- Fixed recalled or restored paste content occasionally attaching wrong data or silently losing text when the paste had aged out or placeholder numbers collided
2731- Fixed copy-on-select on Wayland sometimes not reaching the clipboard; the two selection writes no longer race
2732- Fixed the feedback survey's transcript share silently failing on long sessions; a failed share now shows an error instead of a success message
2733- Fixed Remote Control auto-start intermittently failing with "Remote credentials fetch failed" on a cold start with a stale login token
2734- Fixed Remote Control and SDK clients showing a blank "(no content)" message after `/clear` and other output-less commands
2735- Fixed a Remote Control session recreated after its server session expired uploading prior local conversation history into the new session
2736- Improved fullscreen mode to keep the full pre-compaction history in scrollback across repeated compactions, instead of only the most recent interval
2737- 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
2738- Improved Remote Control: connection failures now show a persistent failure indicator with details and a reconnect shortcut, instead of only an 8-second toast
2739- Removed the 200-subagent-per-session spawn cap; long-running sessions no longer refuse new agents (concurrency and depth limits still apply)
2740- Changed managed settings: the approval prompt no longer re-appears after re-login or org switching when the organization's settings are unchanged
2741- 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
2742- Changed the Bash tool description to always note that command output is displayed to the model, not reliably to the user
2743- Changed recalled paste placeholder numbers to renumber when accepted into the input
2744- 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`
2745- [VSCode] Fixed the extension showing Remote Control as connected after the connection failed
2746- Fixed a session resume silently reconnecting Remote Control after the user turned it off (`--resume`, SDK hosts, and the VS Code extension)
2747- [VSCode] Fixed sessions not honoring `remoteControlAtStartup` when explicitly enabled
2748
2749## 2.1.223
2750
2751- Added owner wildcard entries (`"owner/*"`) to the `strictKnownMarketplaces` and `blockedMarketplaces` managed settings for allowing or blocking all marketplace repos under a GitHub org
2752- 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
2753- Added a `/teleport` hint in cloud sessions showing how to continue locally with `claude --teleport <session id>`
2754- Fixed a Bash permission bypass where a crafted command could hide parts of itself from permission checks
2755- Fixed permission prompts so commands padded with tabs or invisible Unicode can no longer hide part of the command from the approval dialog
2756- Fixed workflow scripts being able to use dynamic `import()` to run code outside the workflow sandbox
2757- Fixed a permission gap where an agent definition's `bypassPermissions` mode ignored the org bypass-permissions disable policy
2758- Fixed resuming a session after a mid-session `/cd` coming back empty
2759- Fixed gateway model discovery hiding Claude models registered under provider-prefixed IDs such as `vertex_ai/claude-*` or `bedrock/anthropic.claude-*`
2760- 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
2761- 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
2762- Fixed sandboxed commands failing to start on Linux when `sandbox.filesystem.denyWrite` covers the working directory
2763- Fixed forked background agents getting stuck "already resuming" for the rest of the session when rebuilding the fork's parent prompt failed during resume
2764- 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
2765- Fixed a rare hang when parsing unusual `git push` output
2766- 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
2767- 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
2768- 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
2769- Changed `/code-review` with no effort level to reuse the level you typed last; type a level like `/code-review high` to change it
2770
2771## 2.1.222
2772
2773- 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
2774- Fixed PreToolUse auto-allow hooks bypassing tool restrictions in background agent tasks (summaries, compaction, renames)
2775- 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
2776- 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
2777- Fixed "Connection closed mid-response" errors being reported on responses that had actually completed
2778- 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
2779- Fixed sessions not linking to pull requests created after the branch was pushed, including through the GitHub REST API
2780- 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
2781- Fixed stream idle timeout firing on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateways despite server keep-alive pings arriving on the wire
2782- Fixed claude.ai connectors being falsely marked as needing authorization when the session token is invalid — they now show a `/login` hint instead
2783- Fixed tool errors not being displayed for tools no longer available locally, for example after an MCP server is removed
2784- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a long summary — it now truncates instead, so sends no longer fail on a character limit
2785- 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
2786- Fixed rare crashes when a file watcher hit a filesystem error or during file-watcher teardown
2787- 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
2788- 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
2789- Improved auto mode safety: messages sent to other agent sessions via `SendMessage` are now evaluated by the permission classifier before dispatch
2790- 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
2791- 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
2792- 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`
2793- Removed ultraplan feature
2794
2795## 2.1.221
2796
2797- [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
2798- 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`
2799- Added warnings to `claude plugin validate` when a marketplace or plugin name would be rejected by Claude Desktop's managed marketplace sync
2800- Added a `prompt-audit` subcommand to the `claude-api` skill for auditing prompts and tool descriptions for patterns written for older models
2801- Fixed a Bash tool permission-check bypass where zsh could execute hidden commands in `[[ ]]` regex conditionals; affected commands now prompt for permission
2802- Fixed PowerShell permission checks mishandling paths containing quote characters on Windows; such paths now prompt for approval
2803- 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
2804- 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
2805- Fixed @-mentioned files being silently dropped when pressing Esc to retract a prompt and resubmitting it
2806- Fixed a crash when preparing API requests for SDK MCP tools named after built-in object properties such as `constructor`
2807- Fixed WebSearch failing with a 400 error at effort `xhigh`/`max` when thinking is disabled
2808- Fixed sandboxed large uploads failing with TLS errors through the sandbox proxy
2809- Fixed Team and Enterprise spend-limit message incorrectly blaming the org's monthly limit instead of your individual spend limit
2810- Fixed Bedrock authentication with AWS SSO named profiles failing in desktop-managed sessions on Windows machines that set a stray `HOME` environment variable
2811- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN=0` not disabling interrupted-turn auto-resume; falsy values are now honored
2812- 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
2813- 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
2814- Fixed plugin- and org-delivered skills named after terminal-only built-ins (e.g. `/help`, `/feedback`) being un-invocable in non-interactive sessions
2815- Fixed the "Plugins changed" notification lingering after plugins were reloaded instead of clearing
2816- Fixed Vim mode: the yank register now survives dialogs, history search, and the transcript view instead of being silently emptied
2817- Fixed Vim mode: undoing back to an empty prompt now arms the "press ← again" confirm before returning to the agent view
2818- Improved tool search on Google Vertex AI: re-enabled for Claude 4.5-generation and newer models
2819- 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
2820- Reduced prompt-cache costs for auto-mode permission checks by reusing the cached conversation prefix across decisions
2821- Improved Stats panel to count cache tokens in its token totals, with a breakdown by input, output, cache read, and cache write
2822- 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
2823- 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
2824- 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
2825- Changed `/plugin install` to refresh a stale marketplace catalog and retry before reporting a plugin not found
2826- Changed plugins installed from `/plugin` to activate immediately when safe, instead of always requiring `/reload-plugins`
2827- Changed plugins to accept `"."` as a `skills` path, and the root-level `SKILL.md` validation error now suggests using the plugin root
2828- Changed `/status` to show the session kind: `interactive`, or a background job that is `attached` or `unattended`
2829- Changed emoji autocomplete to accept common alternate shortcodes like `:thumbsup:`, `:thumbsdown:`, and `:love:`
2830- Changed sessions forked with `/fork` to create a new worktree of their own instead of working in the original session's checkout
2831- Changed Claude in Chrome to close the browser tabs it opens once it no longer needs them
2832- Changed fast mode to report on the stream when usage credits run out mid-session, instead of failing silently
2833- Changed Monitor: a watch that exits without producing any output now says so instead of reporting "stream ended"
2834- Changed the Gateway `model` field validation: non-string values are rejected with a 400 instead of being forwarded
2835- Removed the repeated "Permission mode changed while the auto-mode classifier call was queued" notice from approval prompts
2836
2837## 2.1.220
2838
2839- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2840
2841## 2.1.219
2842
2843- Added Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, fast mode at $10/$50 per Mtok
2844- Added `sandbox.network.strictAllowlist` setting to deny non-allowlisted hosts for sandboxed commands without prompting
2845- Added `DirectoryAdded` hook that fires after `/add-dir` or the SDK `register_repo_root` control request registers a new working directory mid-session
2846- 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
2847- 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
2848- 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
2849- Fixed `claude -p` text output dropping the answer already produced when a turn dies on a mid-stream API error
2850- 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
2851- Fixed the Fable model row showing "Requires usage credits" for plans that include it, when a stale cache had baked the label in
2852- Fixed the `/model` picker showing the merged Opus row as plain "Opus" instead of "Opus (1M context)"
2853- Fixed copy-on-select inside GNU screen printing base64 into the terminal instead of copying the selection
2854- Fixed Remote Control clients keeping a stale fast-mode status after a model switch, reconnect, or failed org check
2855- 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
2856- Fixed Vim mode: pressing ← on an empty prompt now returns to the agent view from NORMAL mode, not just INSERT
2857- Fixed screen-reader mode rewriting the entire input line on every keystroke instead of echoing only the typed character
2858- Improved the "Remote Control is only available via api.anthropic.com" error to name the specific setting that caused it
2859- Improved `claude --teleport` to show which repo your current checkout points at when it doesn't match the session's repo
2860- 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`
2861- Changed managed MCP allowlist/denylist `${VAR}` entries to resolve from the startup environment and managed-settings env instead of settings-file env
2862- 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
2863- Added the current default workflow size to the running-workflow status line, with a pointer to `/config` for changing it
2864- Removed Opus 4.7 from fast mode; `/fast` now applies to Opus 5 and Opus 4.8
2865- Updated the claude-api skill to default to Claude Opus 5, with a migration path from Opus 4.8
2866- 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
2867
2868## 2.1.218
2869
2870- 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
2871- 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
2872- Fixed Windows paths with `\u`-prefixed segments (like `C:\Users\unicorn`) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
2873- 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
2874- Fixed multi-line paste collapsing into one line with `j` in place of newlines in terminals that encode pasted newlines as Ctrl+J
2875- Fixed `/context` reporting stale pre-compact token usage after compacting from the message picker
2876- 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
2877- Fixed `/code-review ultra` silently running a local review in non-interactive sessions — it now launches the cloud review
2878- Fixed gateway spend metering to price Bedrock application-inference-profile ARNs and other config-mapped upstream model IDs at the configured model's rates
2879- Fixed mojibake when a long IDE selection was truncated mid-emoji, and a case where a tool executor error could be silently dropped
2880- Fixed an engine teardown race that could start and abandon a phantom turn, and made input pushed after close consistently rejected
2881- 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
2882- Fixed VoiceOver reading "new line" instead of echoing the typed space at the end of the input in `--ax-screen-reader` mode
2883- Fixed plugin and settings panels not moving the terminal cursor to the focused row, so screen readers and magnifiers can follow arrow-key navigation
2884- Fixed crashes (maximum call stack exceeded) when a deeply nested watched directory tree was deleted or moved, and when rendering deeply nested UI trees
2885- Fixed pull request events occasionally being lost when a session exited immediately after creating or linking a PR
2886- Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard failing profile verification for assume-role profiles in partitioned AWS regions and on proxy-only networks
2887- Fixed rare negative or incorrect turn duration measurements after a system clock adjustment by timing turns with a monotonic clock
2888- Fixed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice over-counting claude.ai connectors that aren't connected in claude.ai
2889- Fixed prompt history entries being dropped or duplicated when history writes raced or failed
2890- 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
2891- Fixed agent frontmatter hooks running from untrusted folders: hooks now require the agent file's own folder to have accepted workspace trust
2892- Fixed fork-session lineage being lost after compaction in headless and SDK sessions
2893- Fixed a resumed session failing every turn, or crashing on resume, when its history held a malformed delta attachment
2894- Improved `/ultrareview` error feedback so Claude can correct an invalid argument instead of retrying it unchanged
2895- Improved auto mode: the dangerous-rm, background-`&`, and suspicious-Windows-path checks no longer open permission dialogs; the auto-mode classifier adjudicates them instead
2896- Improved sandbox command restrictions for IDE interactions
2897- Improved trust dialogs to name the repository root the grant covers
2898- Changed `/deep-research` to start only when invoked manually; Claude no longer launches it on its own
2899- 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
2900- Added an announcement when fast mode changes as a result of switching models via `/config model=<x>` or Remote Control
2901- Changed server-managed settings so benign feature and cost toggles no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
2902- Changed agent markdown files to reject agent names containing `:`, which is reserved for plugin namespacing
2903- Changed skills with `context: fork` to run in the background by default; opt out per skill with `background: false`
2904- Added `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off`/`1`/`0` (case-insensitive) as accepted values for skill and plugin frontmatter booleans, alongside `true`/`false`
2905- 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
2906
2907## 2.1.217
2908
2909- Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting
2910- 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
2911- Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session
2912- Fixed Windows auto-update failures that could leave `claude.exe` missing; failed updates now restore the preserved executable automatically
2913- Fixed background session isolation not canonicalizing symlinked working directories, which could let sessions escape their workspace folder
2914- Fixed auto-compact never triggering for Claude Opus 4.8 on Bedrock and `/compact` failing once over the limit
2915- Fixed corporate mTLS, TLS-verify, OAuth scope, and proxy settings being ignored in Claude Desktop sessions
2916- 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
2917- 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
2918- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` and `/resume` failing with a TypeError when a transcript has a malformed attachment entry
2919- Fixed Remote Control sessions not showing a pending permission prompt or dialog to viewers that connected after it appeared
2920- 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
2921- 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
2922- 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
2923- 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
2924- Changed the login-expiry warning to appear 3 days before expiry instead of 5
2925- Capped the frontend-design plugin suggestion tip at 3 lifetime impressions instead of repeating indefinitely
2926- 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
2927- Changed subagents to no longer spawn nested subagents by default; set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to allow deeper nesting
2928- Fixed `--max-budget-usd` not stopping background subagents: once the cap is reached, new spawns are denied and running background agents are halted
2929
2930## 2.1.216
2931
2932- Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control
2933- Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes
2934- Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session
2935- Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first — free-text answers now get neutral wording
2936- Fixed Claude Code on the web re-asking the same question and dropping your answer after the session sat idle for a few minutes
2937- 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
2938- Fixed resumed background agent sessions reverting to the default agent: the agent's prompt and tool restrictions are now restored
2939- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents redirecting git into the shared checkout via `git -C`, `--git-dir`, or `GIT_DIR`/`GIT_WORK_TREE`
2940- Fixed worktree sessions landing in another project's leftover worktree when the working directory did not match the selected project
2941- Fixed background sessions whose worktree has no git repository being undeletable
2942- Fixed `claude daemon stop --any` potentially terminating an unrelated process via a stale legacy daemon lockfile
2943- Fixed Esc-Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind picker in long-running sessions with background tasks
2944- Fixed Bash command permission checking for compound statements with redirects inside `&&` lists or negations
2945- Fixed pressing Ctrl+X twice in the agent list failing to delete a session, and deleted sessions reappearing when their background worker had died
2946- Fixed background subagents getting cancelled when a high-priority message arrives during their startup window
2947- 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
2948- Fixed Claude-in-Chrome 403-looping on reconnect when the session's OAuth token lacks a required scope
2949- Fixed workflow saves and scheduled-task writes following a symlink at `.claude`, which could redirect writes outside the project
2950- 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
2951- Fixed read-only commands on Windows accessing network paths without a permission prompt
2952- Fixed Bash command parsing of non-ASCII characters to match real shell word boundaries
2953- Fixed PowerShell tool permission validation of commands containing invisible Unicode characters
2954- Fixed dialogs in fullscreen mode stretching past the right-hand edge of their panel
2955- Fixed the `/config` settings list in fullscreen mode clipping its keyboard-hint footer
2956- Fixed the transcript-mode (Ctrl+O) footer hint wrapping on terminals narrower than 104 columns
2957- Fixed the Prometheus metrics endpoint (`OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus`) emitting invalid `# UNIT` lines
2958- Fixed skills and commands changed during a session not appearing in the slash menu until restart
2959- Fixed plugin skills with a `name` frontmatter field losing their plugin prefix in slash-command autocomplete
2960- 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
2961- 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
2962- Improved validation of `git` and `gh` command arguments in the PowerShell tool
2963- Improved the `/ultrareview` diff-too-large error to show configured limits, measured diff size, and largest contributing files
2964- Improved `/code-review ultra` empty-diff message to name the exact base ref and suggest passing an explicit base
2965- Improved the spend limit adjustment prompt to show the server's reason when a spend limit change is rejected
2966- `/context` now shows an explicit warning when the conversation exceeds the context window, and a failed `/compact` displays as an error
2967- `/rewind` no longer restores or deletes files through symlinks or hard links at tracked paths and reports how many paths it skipped
2968- Background sessions: `/mcp` and `/install-github-app` now park a "needs input" request in the agent view when no client is attached
2969- Updated the bundled dataviz skill: reordered the default chart palette and fixed guidance that suggested direct labels for four-series charts
2970- [VSCode] Fixed right-to-left text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering in the wrong order when mixed with English or code
2971- 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
2972
2973## 2.1.215
2974
2975- Claude no longer runs the `/verify` and `/code-review` skills on its own; invoke them with `/verify` or `/code-review` when you want them
2976
2977## 2.1.214
2978
2979- 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`
2980- Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions
2981- Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer
2982- Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically
2983- Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in `[[ ]]` comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval
2984- Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain `help` and `man` commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths
2985- Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog
2986- 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
2987- Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent
2988- Added an ISO `modified` timestamp to memory file frontmatter
2989- Added `message.uuid`, `client_request_id`, and `tool_source` attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance
2990- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH` to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes
2991- Added reasoning effort to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort
2992- 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
2993- Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags
2994- Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a `pkill -f` pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)
2995- 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
2996- Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows
2997- 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
2998- Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task
2999- Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)
3000- Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)
3001- 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)
3002- Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting `where.exe`, `fc.exe`, and `diff.exe` as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)
3003- Fixed `>` and `>>` under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8
3004- Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon
3005- Fixed background sessions parked with `←` or `/background` and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely
3006- Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via `claude rm` or the agent view once the background service had gone idle
3007- Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view
3008- Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store
3009- Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled
3010- 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
3011- Fixed plugins enabled via the `--settings` CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)
3012- Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates
3013- Fixed `/ultrareview` refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files
3014- Fixed `claude update` and `claude doctor` hanging silently, and the `/status` System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory
3015- Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline `#` when memory files are saved
3016- Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative `message_delta` frames
3017- Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking
3018- Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation
3019- Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context
3020- Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources
3021- 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
3022- 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.
3023- Changed `file` commands using `-m`/`--magic-file` or `-f`/`--files-from` to require permission instead of being auto-allowed as read-only
3024- Changed keep-alive connection pooling to disable after a stale-connection error, so retries open a fresh socket
3025- Changed SessionStart hooks to report source `"fork"` when a session begins as a fork instead of `"resume"`
3026
3027## 2.1.212
3028
3029- `/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`
3030- Added `claude auto-mode reset` to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass `--yes` to skip)
3031- 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
3032- 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
3033- 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`
3034- 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
3035- Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. `touch`, `rm`) without a permission prompt or SDK `canUseTool` callback
3036- Fixed worktree creation following a repository-committed symlink at `.claude/worktrees`, which could create files outside the repository
3037- 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
3038- 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
3039- 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
3040- Fixed shell mode (`!`) not executing commands containing file paths while the path autocomplete popup was open
3041- Fixed auto-mode denial notifications rendering broken characters when a long denial reason was truncated mid-emoji
3042- 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
3043- Fixed `/ultrareview` rejecting PR references like `#123`, `PR 123`, and pasted PR URLs; error hints now name the command you actually typed
3044- Fixed `/ultrareview <branch>` not fetching the branch from origin when it exists remotely; it now suggests the closest branch name on typos
3045- Fixed `/ultrareview` skipping the billing confirmation in a new conversation after `/clear`
3046- Fixed `/ultrareview`'s "not a git repository" error on Claude Desktop now suggesting the project's repository folder instead of terminal commands
3047- 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
3048- 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
3049- Fixed `ExitWorktree` failing with "no active EnterWorktree session" after resuming a session with `--continue`/`--resume` in print/SDK mode
3050- Fixed the workflow agent grid staying empty for Remote Control clients that join a session mid-run
3051- Fixed streaming-mode control requests being marked complete before their handler finished, which could lose the request on session restart
3052- Fixed background sessions created with `/fork` losing their live-parent protection after a state write failure
3053- 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
3054- Fixed agent teams: a stopping teammate could send the leader duplicate idle notifications when team initialization re-ran within a session
3055- Fixed the plan-approval dialog footer splitting "ctrl+g to edit in <editor>" apart when the file path is long
3056- Fixed the welcome banner keeping its old panel widths after a combined width+height terminal resize in fullscreen mode
3057- Fixed diff previews losing their line numbers and +/- markers in narrow layouts
3058- Fixed @-mentions attaching nothing after a partial file read, plugin uninstall targeting the wrong marketplace, and false "Command timed out" on exit code 143
3059- Fixed OpenTelemetry HTTP exports being rejected with 411/400 by Azure Monitor and other endpoints that don't accept chunked transfer encoding
3060- Fixed OTLP event log records missing `trace_id`/`span_id` when `TRACEPARENT` is set in SDK/headless mode
3061- Fixed conversations with many images incorrectly failing with "Request too large" errors, and improved the error message to explain the actual cause
3062- Fixed web search and web fetch returning "API Error" text as search results or page content when the API was overloaded
3063- Improved web search and web fetch reliability by retrying 529 errors and rate-limited requests with bounded backoff
3064- Improved prompt caching: the mid-conversation system block now works behind LLM gateways and custom base URLs (Bedrock, Vertex, 1P)
3065- Improved background agent attach: cold-attaching now instantly shows the formatted transcript while the session boots, instead of a blank wait
3066- Reduced token usage in inter-agent messaging: `SendMessage` bodies are no longer duplicated into replayed history and tool results
3067- Changed `/fork` to name the copy after your prompt when the session has no title, so the row is recognizable in the agent view
3068- Changed bare `/btw` to reopen the side-question panel on your most recent exchange so you can browse earlier answers
3069- Changed the `←` footer hint to pulse `N done` for a moment when a background agent finishes while nothing needs your input
3070- Deprecated the Task tool's `mode` parameter (now ignored); subagents inherit the parent session's permission mode by default
3071- Changed Enterprise `forceLoginMethod` to be enforced for VS Code extension, SDK, `setup-token`, and `install-github-app` logins, not just the terminal
3072- Changed session transcripts to record the reasoning effort level on each assistant message
3073- 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
3074- 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"
3075- Updated the auth status panel title from "Cloud authentication" to "Authentication"
3076- Corrected an earlier release note (2.1.200): tmux through the 3.6 series lacks synchronized output; newer tmux with support is detected automatically
3077
3078## 2.1.211
3079
3080- Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output
3081- 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
3082- Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt
3083- Fixed parallel Claude Code sessions all logging out simultaneously after wake-from-sleep when many sessions share one credential store
3084- Fixed plugin MCP servers not reconnecting after an idle web session woke, leaving MCP calls failing until the next message
3085- 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
3086- Fixed subagents spawned with an explicit model override reverting to the parent's model when resumed or sent a follow-up message
3087- Fixed nested `.claude/rules/*.md` files loading even when setting sources exclude project settings
3088- 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
3089- Fixed file uploads to Claude in Chrome from remote and CLI sessions
3090- Fixed edits that leave the input as "?" being silently swallowed and toggling the shortcuts panel
3091- Fixed a startup hang when the Claude in Chrome extension is enabled but Chrome is not running
3092- Fixed a 300ms delay revealing async content (Settings tabs, Stats, diff views, and other loading states)
3093- Fixed reopening a just-stopped background session from the agents view starting a blank conversation under the same session id
3094- Fixed `/loop` hiding the session from `/resume` after a single use
3095- Fixed screen reader users losing the audible terminal bell after `/terminal-setup` or onboarding terminal setup
3096- Fixed background jobs on LLM gateway auth (`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` + `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) coming back "Not logged in" after the daemon respawns them
3097- 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
3098- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the session cost counter — the statusline's cost now starts at $0 after `/clear`
3099- Fixed Claude in Chrome setup pages failing to open in the browser on Windows
3100- Fixed headless print-mode sessions on Windows crashing or silently exiting when stdin is unreadable
3101- Fixed background session titles in the agents view showing the naming model's refusal text when the prompt contains a link
3102- Fixed background agents killed by the user auto-respawning, and revived agents re-running stale prompts from old sessions
3103- Fixed routines with no schedule reporting a next run time in the year 1
3104- Hardened synced skill/plugin directory naming on Windows and kept CCR web fetch/search proxies working after `/clear`
3105- Improved terminal layout and rendering performance
3106- Improved background agent result reporting — Claude now reports the status of still-running agents and waits for the real completion instead of fabricating results
3107- Improved the memory index over-limit warning to measure only loaded content, excluding frontmatter and HTML comments
3108- Updated integer environment variables (timeouts, token budgets, retry counts) to accept scientific notation and digit-separator spellings like `1e6` and `64_000`
3109- Updated documentation links to the current docs sites
3110- Changed "always allow" permission rules to save at the repository root, so approvals granted in a git worktree persist across sessions and worktrees
3111- Changed `/usage-credits` to ask for confirmation before sending a request to organization admins
3112- Changed Vim mode `s` and `S` (substitute char/line) to work in NORMAL mode, matching vim behavior
3113- [VSCode] Updated the Remote Control banner to describe what it does
3114- Claude in Chrome: hardened file-upload path validation
3115- Claude in Chrome: `save_to_disk` on screenshot actions now writes the image to disk and returns the path; previously it did nothing
3116- 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.
3117
3118## 2.1.210
3119
3120- Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck
3121- Added a startup warning for `Write(path)`, `NotebookEdit(path)`, and `Glob(path)` permission rules — use `Edit(path)` or `Read(path)` instead
3122- Fixed `isolation: 'worktree'` subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree
3123- Fixed the `ultracode` keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated input such as webhook payloads and relayed PR comments
3124- Fixed a rendered text fragment leaking into crash telemetry when a UI component returned content outside a styled text element
3125- Fixed paste markers leaking into external editors opened from Claude Code, which could appear as stray È/É characters around pasted text
3126- 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
3127- Fixed a session crash when a tool's result renderer returned a numeric bigint value or plain text instead of a UI element
3128- Fixed a hook callback timeout being misreported to the model as a user rejection, which made unattended sessions stop and wait
3129- 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
3130- Fixed plugin-provided MCP servers being torn down when MCP servers are re-synced mid-session
3131- Fixed plan approvals without edits being labeled "(edited by user)" and overwriting the plan file with a stale snapshot
3132- Fixed `/doctor` skipping its auto-mode-default proposal on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, where auto mode no longer needs an opt-in
3133- Fixed Grep content mode claiming "No matches found" when paginating past the end of results
3134- Fixed unmatched `$1`/`$2` positional placeholders in skills and commands being silently stripped; they are now preserved verbatim
3135- Fixed plugin cache writes leaving temp files behind on failure and failing on locked-file renames on Windows and network filesystems
3136- Fixed background workers crash-looping when a client resets its connection to the background service
3137- Fixed `claude agents --effort ultracode` not reaching dispatched sessions; the value was silently dropped
3138- Fixed pressing ← to open the agents view dropping the task tracker when returning to the session
3139- Fixed the agents dashboard retaining pasted images from abandoned reply drafts after their session was deleted
3140- Fixed killed background sessions leaving a permanent `git worktree lock` behind; the periodic sweep now releases locks whose owning process is gone
3141- Fixed SDK MCP servers registered via an `initialize` control request waiting until the next turn to start connecting
3142- Fixed returning to the agents view from a session leaving overlapping ghost frames with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1`
3143- Fixed late-appearing `.claude/*` symlinks not being reconciled into the sandbox deny-write list
3144- Hardened the Agent tool against indirect prompt injection via content a subagent read
3145- 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
3146- 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
3147- Improved the bundled dataviz skill's chart color validation with perceptual OKLab color difference and recalibrated color-blindness thresholds
3148- Memory writes that leave a MEMORY.md index over its read limit now produce an explicit error instead of silent truncation
3149- Screen reader mode now announces permission mode changes aloud when cycling modes with Shift+Tab
3150- The agents footer hint now shows how many background agents are waiting on your input, with a brief color emphasis when the count changes
3151- Agent view: the session you pressed ← from stays visibly marked even after mouse hover or arrow keys move the selection
3152- Fable temporarily shows as unavailable in the advisor picker while a server-side issue causing Fable advisor failures is fixed
3153
3154## 2.1.209
3155
3156- Fixed /model and other dialogs being blocked in `claude agents` background sessions (reverts an overly broad guard)
3157
3158## 2.1.208
3159
3160- 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.
3161- Added `vimInsertModeRemaps` setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like `jj` to Escape in vim mode
3162- 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
3163- Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and "Other" input rows in fullscreen mode
3164- Changed the Fable 5 usage-credits consent prompt to start with the decline option focused
3165- Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings
3166- Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts
3167- 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
3168- 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
3169- Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight
3170- Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from `claude -p`
3171- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (`1e6` became `1`)
3172- 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
3173- Fixed the Edit tool failing on files modified after reading when the target text still matches uniquely
3174- 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
3175- 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
3176- 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
3177- Fixed `/upgrade` showing a login flow instead of the upgrade URL when the browser fails to open
3178- Fixed stream-json input killing the session on blank CRLF or whitespace-only lines from Windows-style SDK hosts
3179- 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
3180- Fixed repeated "No completion record was found" notices on session resume — orphaned background tasks now collapse into a single summary
3181- Fixed Remote Control clients attaching to a terminal-hosted session not seeing background agents and workflow progress until a task started or stopped
3182- 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
3183- Fixed `/usage` showing stale cached bars over fresher data, and `/mcp` not reclassifying placeholder servers after config edits
3184- 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
3185- Fixed the workflow save dialog showing `~/.claude/workflows/` instead of the `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` location for user-scope saves
3186- Fixed `/release-notes` adding the viewed notes to the model's context — "Show all" previously injected the entire changelog into every subsequent request
3187- Fixed a memory leak in the agent view where pasted images were retained for the screen's lifetime after sending peek replies
3188- Fixed SDK sessions losing agents defined via the initialize request when a plugin refresh ran before the client attached
3189- 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
3190- 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
3191- Fixed multi-second per-turn slowdowns in sessions with many permission deny/ask rules — rule matchers are now compiled once and cached
3192- Improved input responsiveness while agent task lists update — task updates no longer re-render the entire UI
3193- 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)
3194- Reduced memory usage by bounding the file edit read cache to 16 MB instead of pinning up to 1,000 full files
3195- Reduced session transcript size (up to 79x in edit-heavy sessions) and bounded checkpoint disk usage by pruning superseded file-history backups
3196- Reduced memory usage when resuming sessions with background agents or forks spawned from large conversations
3197- Completed background agents now stay listed in `/tasks` until cleanup instead of vanishing the moment they finish
3198- Attaching to a stopped background agent now shows its transcript immediately while the session warms up, instead of a blank "Session is starting" screen
3199- Background sessions: an older daemon no longer silently restarts workers spawned by a newer version onto the older binary
3200- 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
3201- Catastrophic removals (e.g. `rm -rf ~`) in commands containing `$(…)`/backticks/`<(…)` now prompt in `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and auto mode, matching the plain form
3202- `/install-github-app` and the `/mcp` settings menu no longer open in background sessions
3203- MCP servers configured with an empty URL now show as "not configured" in `/mcp` instead of a config error
3204- `/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
3205- 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)
3206
3207## 2.1.207
3208
3209- Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings
3210- Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
3211- 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
3212- Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
3213- 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
3214- Fixed compound commands with `cd` prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to `/dev/null`
3215- Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
3216- 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
3217- Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, `.ignore`, and `.worktreeinclude` breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
3218- 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
3219- Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
3220- Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
3221- Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
3222- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
3223- Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname
3224- Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
3225- Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of adding a second one
3226- 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
3227- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
3228- Changed auto mode to no longer read `autoMode` from `.claude/settings.local.json` (repo-resident); use `~/.claude/settings.json` instead
3229- 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.
3230- 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).
3231- Plugin option values (`pluginConfigs`) are no longer read from project-level `.claude/settings.json`; only user, `--settings`, and managed settings are honored
3232- 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
3233
3234## 2.1.206
3235
3236- Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior
3237- Added a `/doctor` check that proposes trimming checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
3238- `/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`
3239- Gateway: `/login` now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
3240- `EnterWorktree` now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project's `.claude/worktrees/` directory
3241- 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
3242- 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`
3243- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` not responding to keyboard input on startup
3244- 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
3245- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` being silently ignored by `claude agents` / `--bg` background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
3246- Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
3247- Fixed `--permission-prompt-tool` pointing at an MCP server crashing with "MCP tool not found" on cold start before the server finishes connecting
3248- 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
3249- Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the `/model` picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
3250- Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing "running" after a slash command was sent mid-turn
3251- Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare `claude --resume` on Windows
3252- Fixed `claude rm` leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in `claude agents`
3253- Fixed `/remote-control` showing "Unknown command" when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
3254- Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
3255- Fixed `/status` listing the same broken-install warning twice
3256- Fixed false "disused plugin" tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
3257- Fixed `/doctor`'s update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask's channel instead of the settings channel
3258- Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
3259- Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an `awsCredentialExport` helper on networks with restricted egress
3260- Improved `/code-review` findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
3261- Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
3262- Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted
3263
3264## 2.1.205
3265
3266- Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
3267- Fixed `--json-schema` silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the `format` keyword being rejected
3268- Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the `--max-turns` limit
3269- Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
3270- Fixed background agents staying shown as "failed" or "completed" in the agent list after being resumed with `SendMessage`
3271- Fixed background jobs flipping from "needs input" back to "working" in the agent list when the agent's turn contained no readable text
3272- Fixed `claude attach` erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
3273- Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
3274- 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
3275- Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
3276- Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
3277- Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
3278- Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
3279- Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
3280- Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale "Running" status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
3281- Improved auto mode to ask before running `rm -rf` on a variable it can't resolve from context
3282- Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater's peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
3283- Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
3284- Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in `claude agents`
3285- 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
3286- `/doctor` is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; `/checkup` is its alias
3287- 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
3288- Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with "Not logged in · Please run /login" on CLI 2.1.203+
3289
3290## 2.1.204
3291
3292- Fixed hook events not streaming during SessionStart hooks in headless sessions, which could cause remote workers to be idle-reaped mid-hook
3293
3294## 2.1.203
3295
3296- Added a warning when your login is about to expire, so you can re-authenticate before background sessions are interrupted
3297- Added a grey ⏸ badge to the footer when in manual permission mode, making the active mode always visible
3298- Added the session's additional working directories to MCP `roots/list`, with `notifications/roots/list_changed` sent when the set changes
3299- 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)
3300- Fixed background sessions becoming permanently unresponsive to attach, replies, and stop when the daemon's session token went stale — the session now recovers automatically
3301- Fixed returning to `claude agents` silently stopping running subagents and re-running the prompt from scratch — their work now carries over
3302- 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
3303- Fixed background agents inheriting a stale `PATH` from the daemon instead of the dispatching shell, causing missing tools on Windows
3304- 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
3305- Fixed Bash failing with "argument list too long" in repos with many git worktrees
3306- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents sometimes running shell commands in the parent checkout instead of their own worktree
3307- Fixed worktree creation rejecting nested repositories in multi-repo workspaces, leaving background sessions unable to isolate and edit
3308- 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
3309- Fixed a background daemon auto-upgrade failure silently killing all running background sessions
3310- Fixed `TaskStop` and `TaskOutput` failing to find background agents spawned by another agent — errors now list running agents by id and description
3311- Fixed the `claude agents` composer discarding your typed message when a slash command isn't available there
3312- Fixed the agent list crashing when opening a stopped session whose conversation was already open in another session
3313- Fixed background sessions showing "Needs input" in the agent list after the question was already answered
3314- Fixed background agent startup failures showing only "exit_with_message" instead of the actual error
3315- Fixed background sessions ignoring `effortLevel` changes in settings.json when forked through the daemon
3316- Fixed attached background sessions ignoring `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` opt-outs
3317- Fixed `/exit` incorrectly warning about running background agents after all named agents had completed
3318- Fixed background sessions started from a non-git directory unable to edit files when a `WorktreeCreate` hook was configured
3319- Fixed the `@` directory picker in `claude agents` not showing registered git worktrees
3320- Fixed background task output on Windows being permanently replaced by an empty file after `/clear`
3321- Fixed content jumping when scrolling up through long transcript history
3322- Fixed the terminal flickering and jumping while typing in bash mode when a shell-history suggestion was shown
3323- Fixed literal `^[[I` / `^[[O` escape codes being printed when reattaching to a background session
3324- Fixed LSP-only plugins being incorrectly flagged for disuse when their language servers deliver diagnostics or answer navigation requests
3325- Improved responsiveness while long responses stream: live-preview updates no longer re-render the whole screen
3326- Improved subagent behavior: agents are now less likely to re-delegate their entire task to another subagent
3327- Reduced binary size by ~7 MB and startup memory by ~7 MB by loading a large bundled dependency lazily instead of inlining it
3328- Changed left arrow to no longer close the background tasks, diff, and workflow detail views — press Esc instead
3329- Changed the empty `claude agents` view to always show the organized sections (Needs input / Working / Completed) with descriptions
3330- Removed the startup "claude command missing or broken" warnings — they now appear in `/doctor` and `/status` instead
3331- Removed a redundant navigation hint from the `claude agents` footer
3332- [VSCode] Added a Settings toggle for "Enable Remote Control for all sessions"
3333
3334## 2.1.202
3335
3336- 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
3337- 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
3338- Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning the history file
3339- Fixed `/rename` on background sessions being reverted when the job restarts, which broke addressing the session by its new name
3340- Fixed transient mTLS handshake failures when settings were re-applied during an in-place client certificate rotation
3341- Fixed commands sent from Remote Control (mobile/web) into an interactive session failing with "Unknown command"
3342- Fixed images and files sent from the Remote Control mobile or web app without a caption being silently dropped
3343- 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
3344- Fixed opening a chat from `claude agents` sometimes failing with "currently running as a background agent" followed by a worker crash/respawn loop
3345- 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
3346- Fixed voice dictation retrying in an unbounded loop when the microphone or audio recorder fails — repeated capture failures now pause voice input
3347- Fixed `/remote-control` sessions showing the wrong permission mode in the mobile and web apps
3348- 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
3349- Fixed installer and updater downloads failing immediately with "aborted" when a proxy or network drops the connection mid-download — transient connection drops now retry
3350- Fixed re-invoking an already-loaded skill appending a duplicate copy of its instructions to context
3351- Improved `/workflows` agent list layout: wider titles, a dedicated time column, shorter model names, and no per-row tool-call counts
3352- 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"
3353- 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
3354
3355## 2.1.201
3356
3357- Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders
3358
3359## 2.1.200
3360
3361- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
3362- 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`
3363- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
3364- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
3365- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
3366- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
3367- 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
3368- 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
3369- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
3370- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
3371- 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`
3372- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
3373- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
3374- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
3375- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
3376- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
3377- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
3378
3379## 2.1.199
3380
3381- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
3382- 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
3383- 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
3384- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
3385- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
3386- 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
3387- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
3388- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
3389- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
3390- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
3391- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
3392- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
3393- 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
3394- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
3395- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
3396- 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
3397- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
3398- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
3399- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
3400- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
3401- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
3402- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
3403- `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`
3404- `claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
3405
3406## 2.1.198
3407
3408- 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)
3409- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
3410- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
3411- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
3412- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
3413- 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
3414- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
3415- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
3416- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
3417- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
3418- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
3419- 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
3420- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
3421- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
3422- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
3423- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
3424- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
3425- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
3426- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
3427- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
3428- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
3429- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
3430- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
3431- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
3432- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
3433- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
3434- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
3435- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
3436- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
3437- 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
3438- `/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
3439- 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
3440- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
3441
3442## 2.1.197
3443
3444- 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
3445
3446## 2.1.196
3447
3448- 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
3449- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
3450- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
3451- 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`
3452- 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
3453- 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
3454- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
3455- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
3456- 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
3457- 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
3458- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
3459- 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
3460- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
3461- 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
3462- 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
3463- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
3464- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
3465- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
3466- 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
3467- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
3468- 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
3469- 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
3470- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
3471- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
3472- 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.
3473- 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`
3474- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
3475
3476## 2.1.195
3477
3478- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
3479- 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.
3480- Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
3481- Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
3482- Fixed external plugins enabled only by project `.claude/settings.json` not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path
3483- Fixed `/plugin` Enable/Disable not working when a plugin's `plugin.json` `name` differs from its marketplace entry name
3484- Fixed background jobs disappearing from `claude agents` or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
3485- Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
3486- Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
3487- Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes "no microphone" from "SoX not installed" when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
3488- Improved `claude agents` completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
3489- Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts
3490
3491## 2.1.193
3492
3493- Added `autoMode.classifyAllShell` setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
3494- Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and `/permissions` recent denials
3495- 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.
3496- Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (`!`)
3497- Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at `/mcp`
3498- Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1`)
3499- Fixed `/model` and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after `/login`
3500- Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
3501- Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
3502- Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
3503- Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
3504- Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
3505- Improved MCP `headersHelper` auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
3506- Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace `renames` maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
3507- Improved `/add-dir` message when the directory is already a working directory
3508
3509## 2.1.191
3510
3511- Added `/rewind` support for resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run
3512- Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
3513- Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent
3514- Fixed `/voice` showing a generic "not available" message when disabled by an organization's policy — it now explains the restriction
3515- Fixed `/login` URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
3516- Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
3517- Fixed `claude agents` sending builtin slash commands like `/usage` to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
3518- Fixed `claude agents` job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the `[Image #N]` placeholder
3519- Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. `"Bash,PowerShell"`) silently never firing
3520- Fixed `/permissions` Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
3521- Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
3522- Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
3523- 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
3524- 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
3525- Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (`tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list`) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
3526- 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
3527- Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
3528- Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL `/`) to hint how to reach slash commands
3529- Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
3530- Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache
3531
3532## 2.1.190
3533
3534- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
3535
3536## 2.1.187
3537
3538- Added `sandbox.credentials` setting to block sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables
3539- 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
3540- Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, `/model`, `/config`, etc.) in fullscreen mode
3541- Fixed `--resume` failing with "No conversation found" when the original `-p` run produced no model turns
3542- 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
3543- 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`)
3544- Fixed Claude Code Remote sessions taking ~2.7s longer to start after the agent proxy CA system-trust install was added
3545- Fixed pasted Korean/CJK text turning into mojibake in terminals that deliver paste as per-byte extended-key events
3546- Fixed `/update` over Remote Control hanging when a startup trust dialog would have shown
3547- Fixed background jobs in the agents view getting stuck in "working" indefinitely when the agent ended a turn without producing structured output
3548- Fixed channel connections dropping after navigating to the agents view and back, and after `/bg`, `/tui`, or `/update`
3549- Fixed agent stop notifications not correctly attributing who stopped the agent, and improved wording ("finished"/"stopped" instead of "came to rest")
3550- Fixed subagent depth tracking: resumed subagents now restore their original spawn depth, and forked subagents now count toward the depth cap
3551- Fixed leaked agent worktree registrations: locked `.git/worktrees/` entries from killed agents are now cleaned up automatically
3552- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
3553- Fixed `claude --help` not listing the `--bg`/`--background` flag
3554- Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while `/share` is uploading
3555- Improved `/install-github-app`: GitHub Actions workflow setup is now optional — you can install just the GitHub App and skip the workflow/secret steps
3556- Improved `/btw` with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
3557- Improved `/plugin` to surface plugins you haven't used recently so you can clean them up
3558- [VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session
3559
3560## 2.1.186
3561
3562- 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
3563- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view
3564- Added a "Skills" section to the `/plugin` Installed tab
3565- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
3566- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
3567- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
3568- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
3569- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
3570- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
3571- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
3572- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
3573- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
3574- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
3575- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
3576- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
3577- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
3578- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
3579- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
3580- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
3581- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
3582- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
3583- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
3584- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
3585- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
3586- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
3587- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
3588- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
3589- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
3590- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
3591- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
3592- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
3593- 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
3594- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
3595
3596## 2.1.185
3597
3598- 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
3599
3600## 2.1.183
3601
3602- 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
3603- 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
3604- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
3605- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
3606- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
3607- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
3608- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
3609- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
3610- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
3611- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
3612- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
3613- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
3614- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
3615- 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
3616- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
3617- 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
3618- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
3619
3620## 2.1.181
3621
3622- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
3623- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
3624- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
3625- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
3626- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
3627- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
3628- 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
3629- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
3630- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
3631- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
3632- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
3633- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
3634- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
3635- 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
3636- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
3637- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
3638- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
3639- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
3640- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
3641- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
3642- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
3643- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
3644- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
3645- 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`
3646- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
3647- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
3648- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
3649- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
3650- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
3651- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
3652- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
3653- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
3654- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
3655- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
3656- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
3657- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
3658- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
3659- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
3660- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
3661
3662## 2.1.179
3663
3664- 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"
3665- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
3666- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
3667- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
3668- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
3669- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
3670- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
3671- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
3672- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
3673
3674## 2.1.178
3675
3676- 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.
3677- 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
3678- 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
3679- 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/`
3680- 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
3681- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
3682- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
3683- 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
3684- 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
3685- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
3686- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
3687- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
3688- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
3689- 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
3690- 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`
3691- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
3692- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
3693- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
3694- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
3695- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
3696- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
3697- 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
3698- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
3699- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
3700
3701## 2.1.176
3702
3703- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
3704- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
3705- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
3706- 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
3707- 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
3708- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
3709- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
3710- 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
3711- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
3712- 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
3713- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
3714- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
3715- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
3716- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
3717- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
3718- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
3719- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
3720- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
3721- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
3722- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
3723- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
3724- 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
3725
3726## 2.1.175
3727
3728- 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
3729
3730## 2.1.174
3731
3732- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
3733- 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
3734- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
3735- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
3736- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
3737- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
3738- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
3739- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
3740- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
3741- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
3742- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
3743- [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
3744- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
3745
3746## 2.1.173
3747
3748- 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
3749- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
3750
3751## 2.1.172
3752
3753- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
3754- 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
3755- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
3756- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
3757- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
3758- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
3759- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
3760- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
3761- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
3762- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
3763- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
3764- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
3765- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
3766- 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
3767- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
3768- 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
3769- 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
3770- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
3771- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
3772- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
3773- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
3774- 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
3775- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
3776- 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
3777- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
3778- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
3779- `/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
3780- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
3781- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
3782- [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
3783
3784## 2.1.170
3785
3786- 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
3787- 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.
3788
3789## 2.1.169
3790
3791- 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
3792- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
3793- 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
3794- 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
3795- 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
3796- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
3797- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
3798- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
3799- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
3800- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
3801- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
3802- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
3803- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
3804- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
3805- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
3806- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
3807- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
3808- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
3809- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
3810- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
3811- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
3812- 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
3813- 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
3814- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
3815- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
3816- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
3817- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
3818- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
3819- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
3820- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions

3829
3830## 2.1.166
3831
3832- 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
3833- 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
3834- 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
3835- `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)
3836- 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
3837- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
3838- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
3839- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
3840- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
3841- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
3842- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
3843- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
3844- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
3845- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
3846- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
3847- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
3848- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
3849- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
3850- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
3851- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
3852- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
3853
3854## 2.1.165
3855
3856- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
3857
3858## 2.1.163
3859
3860- Added `requiredMinimumVersion` and `requiredMaximumVersion` managed settings — Claude Code refuses to start if its version is outside the allowed range and directs the user to an approved version
3861- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
3862- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
3863- Hooks: Stop and SubagentStop hooks can now return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` to give Claude feedback and keep the turn going without being labeled a hook error
3864- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
3865- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
3866- 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
3867- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
3868- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
3869- Fixed Bash commands failing on Windows with "EEXIST: file already exists" on the session-env directory when it has the read-only attribute or is inside OneDrive
3870- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
3871- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
3872- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
3873- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
3874- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
3875- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
3876- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
3877- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
3878- 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
3879- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
3880- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
3881- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
3882
3883## 2.1.162
3884
3885- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
3886- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
3887- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
3888- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
3889- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
3890- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
3891- 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
3892- 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
3893- 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
3894- 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
3895- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
3896- 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
3897- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
3898- 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
3899- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
3900- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
3901- 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
3902- 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
3903- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
3904- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
3905- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
3906- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
3907- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
3908- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
3909- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
3910- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
3911- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
3912- 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
3913
3914## 2.1.161
3915
3916- `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
3917- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
3918- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
3919- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
3920- 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
3921- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
3922- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
3923- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
3924- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
3925- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
3926- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
3927- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
3928- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
3929- 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
3930- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
3931- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
3932- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
3933- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
3934- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
3935- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
3936- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
3937- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
3938
3939## 2.1.160
3940
3941- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
3942- `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.)
3943- 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
3944- 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
3945- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
3946- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
3947- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
3948- 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
3949- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
3950- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
3951- 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
3952- 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
3953- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
3954- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
3955- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
3956- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
3957- 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
3958- 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
3959- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
3960- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
3961- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
3962- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
3963- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
3964- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
3965- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
3966- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
3967- 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
3968
3969## 2.1.159
3970
3971- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
3972
3973## 2.1.158
3974
3975- 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`
3976
3977## 2.1.157
3978
3979- Plugins in `.claude/skills` directories are now automatically loaded, no marketplace required
3980- Added `claude plugin init <name>` to scaffold a new plugin in `.claude/skills`
3981- Added autocomplete for `/plugin` arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
3982- `claude agents`: the `agent` field in `settings.json` is now honored for dispatched sessions, with `--agent <name>` to override it
3983- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
3984- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
3985- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
3986- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
3987- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
3988- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell
3989- Fixed `claude agents` pressing Esc not cancelling a slow "opening…", leaving the list unresponsive
3990- Fixed background agent worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
3991- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
3992- Fixed copy-on-select in `claude agents` not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with `set-clipboard on` (regression in 2.1.153)
3993- Fixed `--resume` not reporting background subagents that were running when the previous Claude Code process exited
3994- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
3995- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
3996- 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
3997- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
3998- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup
3999- Fixed a rare duplicate line appearing in scrollback after the terminal UI redraws
4000- Fixed right-click paste duplicating the clipboard in the VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf integrated terminals
4001- WSL: fixed image paste (`alt+v` keybinding), screenshot paste on Windows 11, and added support for dragging images from Windows Explorer
4002- Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
4003- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
4004- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
4005- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
4006- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
4007- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
4008- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
4009- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
4010- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
4011- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
4012
4013## 2.1.156
4014
4015- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
4016
4017## 2.1.154
4018
4019- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
4020- 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
4021- 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
4022- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
4023- 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
4024- `/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
4025- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
4026- `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>'`
4027- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
4028- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
4029- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
4030- 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
4031- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
4032- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
4033- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
4034- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
4035- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
4036- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
4037- 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`
4038- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
4039- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
4040- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
4041- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
4042- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
4043- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
4044- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
4045- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
4046- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
4047- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
4048- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
4049- 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
4050- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
4051- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
4052- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
4053- 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
4054- 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
4055- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
4056- 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
4057- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
4058- [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
4059- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
4060- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
4061- 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
4062- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
4063
4064## 2.1.153
4065
4066- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
4067- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
4068- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
4069- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
4070- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
4071- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
4072- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
4073- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
4074- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
4075- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
4076- 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
4077- `--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
4078- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
4079- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
4080- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
4081- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
4082- 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
4083- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
4084- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
4085- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
4086- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
4087- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
4088- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
4089- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
4090- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
4091- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
4092- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
4093- 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
4094- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
4095- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
4096- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
4097- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
4098- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
4099- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
4100- `/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.
4101- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
4102
4103## 2.1.152
4104
4105- `/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`
4106- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
4107- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
4108- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
4109- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
4110- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
4111- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
4112- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
4113- 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
4114- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
4115- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
4116- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
4117- 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)
4118- 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
4119- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
4120- 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
4121- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
4122- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
4123- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
4124- 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
4125- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
4126- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
4127- 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
4128- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
4129- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
4130- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
4131- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
4132- 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
4133- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
4134- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
4135- 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
4136- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
4137- 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
4138
4139## 2.1.150
4140
4141- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
4142
4143## 2.1.149
4144
4145- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
4146- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
4147- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
4148- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
4149- 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
4150- 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)
4151- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
4152- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
4153- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
4154- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
4155- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
4156- Fixed `otelHeadersHelper` failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in `/doctor` and the debug log
4157- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
4158- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
4159- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
4160- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
4161- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
4162- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
4163- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
4164- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
4165- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
4166- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
4167- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
4168- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
4169- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
4170- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
4171
4172## 2.1.148
4173
4174- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
4175
4176## 2.1.147
4177
4178- 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
4179- 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
4180- 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
4181- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
4182- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
4183- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
4184- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
4185- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
4186- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
4187- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
4188- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
4189- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
4190- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
4191- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
4192- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
4193- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
4194- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
4195- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
4196- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
4197- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
4198- 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
4199- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
4200- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
4201- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
4202- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
4203- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
4204- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
4205- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
4206- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
4207- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
4208- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
4209- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
4210- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
4211
4212## 2.1.145
4213
4214- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
4215- 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
4216- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
4217- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
4218- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
4219- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
4220- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
4221- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
4222- 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
4223- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
4224- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
4225- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
4226- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
4227- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
4228- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
4229- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
4230- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
4231- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
4232- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
4233- 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
4234
4235## 2.1.144
4236
4237- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
4238- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
4239- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
4240- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
4241- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
4242- 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
4243- 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
4244- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
4245- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
4246- 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)
4247- 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
4248- 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
4249- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
4250- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
4251- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
4252- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
4253- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
4254- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
4255- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
4256- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
4257- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
4258- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
4259- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
4260- 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
4261- 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
4262- 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
4263- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
4264- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
4265- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
4266- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
4267- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
4268- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
4269- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
4270- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
4271- 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
4272- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
4273- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
4274- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
4275- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
4276- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
4277- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
4278- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
4279- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
4280- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
4281- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
4282- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
4283- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
4284- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
4285- 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)
4286- 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.
4287
4288## 2.1.143
4289
4290- 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
4291- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
4292- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
4293- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
4294- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
4295- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
4296- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
4297- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
4298- 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`)
4299- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
4300- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
4301- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
4302- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
4303- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
4304- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
4305- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
4306- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
4307- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
4308- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
4309- 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`.
4310- `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
4311- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
4312- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
4313- 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`
4314- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
4315- 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.
4316- `/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.
4317- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
4318- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
4319- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
4320- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
4321- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
4322- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
4323
4324## 2.1.142
4325
4326- 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
4327- 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
4328- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
4329- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
4330- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
4331- 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
4332- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
4333- 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
4334- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
4335- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
4336- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached

4345- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
4346- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
4347- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
4348- 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
4349- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
4350
4351## 2.1.141
4352
4353- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
4354- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
4355- 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

4357- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
4358- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
4359- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
4360- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
4361- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
4362- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
4363- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
4364- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
4365- 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
4366- 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
4367- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
4368- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
4369- 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
4370- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
4371- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
4372- Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box
4373- Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent `transcript_path` after `EnterWorktree` switches the working directory
4374- Fixed markdown tables with cell wrapping falling back to the vertical key-value layout instead of rendering as a bordered grid (regression in 2.1.136)
4375- Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
4376- Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
4377- Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
4378- Fixed alternative `chat:submit` keybindings (e.g. `meta+enter`, `ctrl+enter`) not working when `enter` is rebound to `chat:newline`

4386- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
4387- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
4388- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
4389- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
4390- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
4391- Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name
4392- Fixed `/mcp` server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
4393- Fixed redaction in `/feedback` bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs
4394- Fixed desktop and third-party provider sessions incorrectly inheriting `apiKeyHelper`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` from host managed-settings
4395- Fixed early analytics events being silently dropped when fired before logger initialization
4396- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
4397- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
4398- 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
4399- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
4400- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
4401- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
4402- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
4403- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
4404- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
4405- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
4406- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
4407- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
4408- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
4409- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
4410- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
4411- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
4412- `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
4413- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
4414
4415## 2.1.140
4416
4417- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
4418- Updated agent color palette
4419- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
4420- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
4421- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
4422- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time

4425- Fixed `/loop` scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
4426- Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. `gh`) triggered synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns on every check
4427- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
4428- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
4429- 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`.
4430
4431## 2.1.139
4432
4433- 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
4434- 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
4435- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
4436- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
4437- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
4438- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
4439- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
4440- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
4441- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
4442- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails

4447- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
4448- 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
4449- 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
4450- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
4451- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
4452- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
4453- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
4454- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
4455- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
4456- Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
4457- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
4458- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
4459- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
4460- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
4461- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
4462- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
4463- Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one
4464- Fixed hyperlinks using unreadable dark navy on dark themes — they now adapt to the active theme
4465- Fixed model picker showing a redundant "Current model" row for third-party users whose model is set to the `opus` alias
4466- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
4467- 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
4468- Fixed scroll behavior in Windows Terminal and VS Code when attached to background sessions
4469- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
4470- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one

4495- Added `settings.autoMode.hard_deny` for auto mode classifier rules that block unconditionally regardless of user intent or allow exceptions
4496- Fixed MCP servers configured in `.mcp.json`, plugins, and claude.ai connectors silently disappearing after `/clear` in the VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, and Agent SDK
4497- Fixed a rare login loop where a concurrent credential write could overwrite a freshly-rotated OAuth token and force re-login
4498- 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
4499- Fixed an API error (400) when extended thinking emitted a redacted thinking block after a tool call
4500- Fixed `--resume` / `--continue` not finding sessions when the project path contains underscores
4501- Fixed plan mode not blocking file writes when a matching `Edit(...)` allow rule exists
4502- WSL2: image paste from Windows clipboard now works via a PowerShell fallback when xclip/wl-paste cannot read image data
4503- Fixed plugin `Stop`/`UserPromptSubmit` hooks failing when cache cleanup deletes a version still in use by a running session
4504- 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
4505- Fixed colors appearing at wrong positions in bash command output and markdown code blocks
4506- Fixed ReasonML diffs rendering corrupted "undefined" text artifacts at word-diff boundaries

4543- Fixed MCP tool results being invisible when the server returns content blocks
4544- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
4545- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
4546
4547## 2.1.133
4548
4549- 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
4550- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
4551- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
4552- 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`

4558- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
4559- 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
4560- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
4561- 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
4562- 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
4563- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
4564- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`

4570- 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
4571- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
4572- 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
4573- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
4574- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
4575- 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
4576- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
4577- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
4578- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters
4579- Fixed pasting text starting with `/` silently swallowing the input or triggering an unknown-command reply
4580- Fixed pasting dumping stray escape sequences into the prompt when focus events or mouse-tracking reports interleave with the bracketed paste
4581- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling being too fast in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 due to an upstream xterm.js bug
4582- Fixed scroll-wheel handling in JetBrains IDE 2025.2 terminals (spurious arrow keys, wrong-direction events, runaway acceleration)
4583- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
4584- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there

4586- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
4587- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height
4588- Fixed statusline `context_window` token counts reflecting cumulative session totals instead of current context usage
4589- Fixed Alt+T (thinking toggle) not working on macOS terminals without "Option as Meta" enabled (iTerm2, Terminal.app defaults)
4590- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
4591- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
4592- 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`
4593- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
4594- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
4595- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)
4596- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex 400 errors when `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` is set
4597
4598## 2.1.131

4605- Added `--plugin-url <url>` flag to fetch a plugin `.zip` archive from a URL for the current session
4606- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs `eat`)
4607- 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
4608- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
4609- 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)
4610- 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
4611- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
4612- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description
4613- The `claude_code.pull_request.count` OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands
4614- Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging
4615- Fixed API errors with unrecognized 400 status codes showing raw JSON instead of the underlying error message
4616- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the terminal tab title after a conversation
4617- Fixed session title chip from `/rename` disappearing while a permission or other dialog is active
4618- Fixed agent panel below the prompt being hidden when subagents are running (regression in 2.1.122)
4619- Fixed external-editor handoff (Ctrl+G) blanking the conversation history above the prompt
4620- Fixed `/context` dumping its rendered ASCII visualization grid into the conversation, wasting ~1.6k tokens per call

4622- Fixed `/branch` success message not including the new branch's session id for `/resume`
4623- Fixed bold headers with keycap/ZWJ/skin-tone emoji losing trailing characters in fullscreen mode
4624- Fixed server-managed settings policy not applying for enterprise/team users whose stored OAuth credentials lacked the `user:inference` scope
4625- Fixed OAuth refresh race after wake-from-sleep that could log out all running sessions
4626- Fixed 1-hour prompt cache TTL being silently downgraded to 5 minutes
4627- Fixed cache-miss warning appearing spuriously after `/clear` or compaction when changing `/effort` or `/model`
4628- Fixed `Bash(mkdir *)`, `Bash(touch *)` and similar allow rules not being honored for in-project paths
4629- Fixed `deniedMcpServers` patterns with a `*://` scheme wildcard not matching mixed-case hostnames
4630- Fixed harmless WebSocket warning being logged as an error in `--debug` during voice mode
4631- [VSCode] Fixed `/clear` not clearing the conversation context and displayed transcript
4632
4633## 2.1.128
4634
4635- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
4636- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
4637- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
4638- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
4639- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
4640- 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
4641- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
4642- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
4643- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
4644- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
4645- Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, `/compact`, or run with `--debug`)
4646- Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
4647- Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every `/exit` in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification
4648- Fixed Remote Control showing an empty "Opening your options…" message on rate limit instead of actionable upsell options
4649- Fixed drag-and-drop image upload hanging on "Pasting text…" when the image read fails

4651- Fixed long URLs not being individually clickable on every wrapped row in fullscreen mode
4652- Fixed `/plugin` Components panel showing "Marketplace 'inline' not found" for plugins loaded via `--plugin-dir`
4653- Fixed MCP tool results dropping images when the server returns both structured content and content blocks
4654- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
4655- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
4656- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
4657- 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
4658- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
4659- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
4660- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
4661- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
4662- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
4663- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
4664- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
4665- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
4666- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
4667- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
4668- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
4669- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
4670- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
4671- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
4672
4673## 2.1.126
4674
4675- The `/model` picker now lists models from your gateway's `/v1/models` endpoint when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway
4676- - Added `claude project purge [path]` to delete all Claude Code state for a project (transcripts, tasks, file history, config entry) — supports `--dry-run`, `-y/--yes`, `-i/--interactive`, and `--all`
4677- `--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)
4678- `claude auth login` now accepts the OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers)
4679- `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"`)
4680- Auto mode: the spinner now turns red when a permission check stalls, instead of looking like the tool is running
4681- Host-managed deployments (`CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST`) no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
4682- Windows: PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or `.NET global tool` is now detected
4683- Windows: when the PowerShell tool is enabled, Claude now treats PowerShell as the primary shell instead of defaulting to Bash
4684- Read tool: removed the per-file malware-assessment reminder that could cause spurious refusals and "this is not malware" commentary on legacy models
4685- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
4686- 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
4687- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin
4688- Fixed OAuth login failing with timeout on slow or proxied connections, in IPv6-only devcontainers, and when the browser callback can't reach localhost
4689- Fixed a rare race where a concurrent credential write could clear a valid OAuth refresh token

4696- Fixed Japanese/Korean/Chinese text rendering as garbled characters on Windows in no-flicker mode
4697- Fixed `Ctrl+L` clearing the prompt input — it now only forces a screen redraw, matching readline behavior
4698- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn
4699- Fixed plan-mode tools being unavailable in interactive sessions launched with `--channels`
4700- Fixed `/plugin` Uninstall reporting "Enabled" instead of "Uninstalled"
4701- Bounded total size of file-modified reminders when a linter touches many files at once
4702- Fixed `/remote-control` retries appearing stuck on "connecting…" — each retry now shows its result
4703- Fixed Remote Control failure notification not showing the error reason for initial connection failures
4704- 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
4705- PowerShell tool: bare `--` (e.g. `git diff -- file`) is no longer mis-flagged as the `--%` stop-parsing token
4706- Fixed Agent SDK hang when the model emits a malformed tool name in a parallel tool call batch
4707

4719- OpenTelemetry: added `claude_code.at_mention` log event for `@`-mention resolution
4720- Fixed `/branch` producing forks that fail with "tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks" when the source session contained entries from rewound timelines
4721- Fixed `/model` not showing the Effort option for Bedrock application inference profile ARNs, and those ARNs not receiving `output_config.effort`
4722- Fixed Vertex AI / Bedrock returning `invalid_request_error: output_config: Extra inputs are not permitted` on session-title generation and other structured-output queries

4726- Fixed `!exit` / `!quit` in bash mode terminating the CLI instead of running as a shell command
4727- Fixed images sent to newer models being resized to 2576px per side instead of the correct 2000px maximum
4728- Fixed remote control session idle status redrawing twice per second, which could flood `tmux -CC` control pipes and pause the terminal
4729- Fixed assistant messages appearing blank in some sessions due to a stale view preference
4730- Fixed a malformed hooks entry in `settings.json` no longer invalidating the entire file
4731- Voice mode: keybindings bound to Caps Lock now show an error since terminals don't deliver Caps Lock as a key event
4732
4733## 2.1.121
4734
4735- Added `alwaysLoad` option to MCP server config — when `true`, all tools from that server skip tool-search deferral and are always available

4876- Fixed credential save crash on Linux/Windows corrupting `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
4877- Fixed `/login` having no effect in a session launched with `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` — the env token is now cleared so disk credentials take effect

4894- Agent frontmatter `mcpServers` are now loaded for main-thread agent sessions via `--agent`
4895- 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
4896- The `/resume` command now offers to summarize stale, large sessions before re-reading them, matching the existing `--resume` behavior
4897- Faster startup when both local and claude.ai MCP servers are configured (concurrent connect now default)
4898- `plugin install` on an already-installed plugin now installs any missing dependencies instead of stopping at "already installed"
4899- Plugin dependency errors now say "not installed" with an install hint, and `claude plugin marketplace add` now auto-resolves missing dependencies from configured marketplaces
4900- Managed-settings `blockedMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces` are now enforced on plugin install, update, refresh, and autoupdate
4901- 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`
4902- The `cleanupPeriodDays` retention sweep now also covers `~/.claude/tasks/`, `~/.claude/shell-snapshots/`, and `~/.claude/backups/`
4903- 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
4904- 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)
4905- Windows: cached `where.exe` executable lookups per process for faster subprocess launches
4906- Default effort for Pro/Max subscribers on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 is now `high` (was `medium`)
4907- 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
4908- Fixed `WebFetch` hanging on very large HTML pages by truncating input before HTML-to-markdown conversion
4909- Fixed a crash when a proxy returns HTTP 204 No Content — now surfaces a clear error instead of a `TypeError`
4910- Fixed `/login` having no effect when launched with `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` env var and that token expires
4911- Fixed prompt-input undo (`Ctrl+_`) doing nothing immediately after typing, and skipping a state on each undo step

4913- Fixed rare spurious escape/return triggers when key names arrive as coalesced text over slow connections
4914- Fixed SDK `reload_plugins` reconnecting all user MCP servers serially
4915- Fixed Bedrock application-inference-profile requests failing with 400 when backed by Opus 4.7 with thinking disabled

4917- Fixed subagents running a different model than the main agent incorrectly flagging file reads with a malware warning
4918- Fixed idle re-render loop when background tasks are present, reducing memory growth on Linux
4919- [VSCode] Fixed "Manage Plugins" panel breaking when multiple large marketplaces are configured
4920- 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
4921
4922## 2.1.116
4923
4924- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
4925- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; `resources/templates/list` is now deferred to first `@`-mention
4926- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — `/terminal-setup` now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity
4927- Thinking spinner now shows progress inline ("still thinking", "thinking more", "almost done thinking"), replacing the separate hint row
4928- `/config` search now matches option values (e.g. searching "vim" finds the Editor mode setting)
4929- `/doctor` can now be opened while Claude is responding, without waiting for the current turn to finish
4930- `/reload-plugins` and background plugin auto-update now auto-install missing plugin dependencies from marketplaces you've already added
4931- Bash tool now surfaces a hint when `gh` commands hit GitHub's API rate limit, so agents can back off instead of retrying
4932- 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
4933- Agent frontmatter `hooks:` now fire when running as a main-thread agent via `--agent`
4934- Slash command menu now shows "No commands match" when your filter has zero results, instead of disappearing
4935- Security: sandbox auto-allow no longer bypasses the dangerous-path safety check for `rm`/`rmdir` targeting `/`, `$HOME`, or other critical system directories
4936- 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`
4937- Fixed Devanagari and other Indic scripts rendering with broken column alignment in the terminal UI

4940- Fixed Ctrl+Z hanging the terminal when Claude Code is launched via a wrapper process (e.g. `npx`, `bun run`)
4941- Fixed scrollback duplication in inline mode where resizing the terminal or large output bursts would repeat earlier conversation history
4942- Fixed modal search dialogs overflowing the screen at short terminal heights, hiding the search box and keyboard hints
4943- Fixed scattered blank cells and disappearing composer chrome in the VS Code integrated terminal during scrolling
4944- Fixed an intermittent API 400 error related to cache control TTL ordering that could occur when a parallel request completed during request setup
4945- Fixed `/branch` rejecting conversations with transcripts larger than 50MB
4946- Fixed `/resume` silently showing an empty conversation on large session files instead of reporting the load error
4947- Fixed `/plugin` Installed tab showing the same item twice when it appears under Needs attention or Favorites
4948- Fixed `/update` and `/tui` not working after entering a worktree mid-session
4949
4950## 2.1.114

4953
4954## 2.1.113
4955
4956- Changed the CLI to spawn a native Claude Code binary (via a per-platform optional dependency) instead of bundled JavaScript
4957- Added `sandbox.network.deniedDomains` setting to block specific domains even when a broader `allowedDomains` wildcard would otherwise permit them
4958- Fullscreen mode: Shift+↑/↓ now scrolls the viewport when extending a selection past the visible edge
4959- `Ctrl+A` and `Ctrl+E` now move to the start/end of the current logical line in multiline input, matching readline behavior
4960- Windows: `Ctrl+Backspace` now deletes the previous word
4961- Long URLs in responses and bash output stay clickable when they wrap across lines (in terminals with OSC 8 hyperlinks)
4962- Improved `/loop`: pressing Esc now cancels pending wakeups, and wakeups display as "Claude resuming /loop wakeup" for clarity
4963- `/extra-usage` now works from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients
4964- Remote Control clients can now query `@`-file autocomplete suggestions
4965- Improved `/ultrareview`: faster launch with parallelized checks, diffstat in the launch dialog, and animated launching state
4966- Subagents that stall mid-stream now fail with a clear error after 10 minutes instead of hanging silently
4967- Bash tool: multi-line commands whose first line is a comment now show the full command in the transcript, closing a UI-spoofing vector
4968- Running `cd <current-directory> && git …` no longer triggers a permission prompt when the `cd` is a no-op
4969- Security: on macOS, `/private/{etc,var,tmp,home}` paths are now treated as dangerous removal targets under `Bash(rm:*)` allow rules
4970- Security: Bash deny rules now match commands wrapped in `env`/`sudo`/`watch`/`ionice`/`setsid` and similar exec wrappers
4971- Security: `Bash(find:*)` allow rules no longer auto-approve `find -exec`/`-delete`
4972- Fixed MCP concurrent-call timeout handling where a message for one tool call could silently disarm another call's watchdog
4973- Fixed Cmd-backspace / `Ctrl+U` to once again delete from the cursor to the start of the line
4974- Fixed markdown tables breaking when a cell contains an inline code span with a pipe character
4975- Fixed session recap auto-firing while composing unsent text in the prompt
4976- Fixed `/copy` "Full response" not aligning markdown table columns for pasting into GitHub, Notion, or Slack

4981- Fixed `/insights` crashing with `EBUSY` on Windows
4982- Fixed exit confirmation dialog mislabeling one-shot scheduled tasks as recurring — now shows a countdown
4983- Fixed slash/@ completion menu not sitting flush against the prompt border in fullscreen mode
4984- 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
4985- Fixed prompt cursor disappearing when `NO_COLOR` is set
4986- Fixed `ToolSearch` ranking so pasted MCP tool names surface the actual tool instead of description-matching siblings
4987- Fixed compacting a resumed long-context session failing with "Extra usage is required for long context requests"
4988- Fixed `plugin install` succeeding when a dependency version conflicts with an already-installed plugin — now reports `range-conflict`
4989- Fixed "Refine with Ultraplan" not showing the remote session URL in the transcript

5002- Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7
5003- 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`
5004- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
5005- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`
5006- 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`
5007- 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
5008- Auto mode no longer requires `--enable-auto-mode`
5009- 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)
5010- Read-only bash commands with glob patterns (e.g. `ls *.ts`) and commands starting with `cd <project-dir> &&` no longer trigger a permission prompt
5011- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
5012- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
5013- 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
5014- `/skills` menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` to toggle
5015- `Ctrl+U` now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press `Ctrl+Y` to restore
5016- `Ctrl+L` now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing the prompt input
5017- Transcript view footer now shows `[` (dump to scrollback) and `v` (open in editor) shortcuts
5018- The "+N lines" marker for truncated long pastes is now a full-width rule for easier scanning
5019- Headless `--output-format stream-json` now includes `plugin_errors` on the init event when plugins are demoted for unsatisfied dependencies

5021- Suppressed spurious decompression, network, and transient error messages that could appear in the TUI during normal operation
5022- Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries — it traded long waits for more outright failures during API overload
5023- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
5024- 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
5025- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
5026- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
5027- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
5028- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
5029- 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
5030- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command
5031- Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers)
5032- Fixed feedback surveys appearing back-to-back after dismissing one
5033- Fixed bare URLs in bash/PowerShell/MCP tool output being unclickable when the terminal wraps them across lines
5034- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
5035- 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
5036
5037## 2.1.110
5038
5039- Added `/tui` command and `tui` setting — run `/tui fullscreen` to switch to flicker-free rendering in the same conversation
5040- Added push notification tool — Claude can send mobile push notifications when Remote Control and "Push when Claude decides" config are enabled

5063- Hardened "Open in editor" actions against command injection from untrusted filenames
5064- Fixed `PermissionRequest` hooks returning `updatedInput` not being re-checked against `permissions.deny` rules; `setMode:'bypassPermissions'` updates now respect `disableBypassPermissionsMode`
5065- Fixed `PreToolUse` hook `additionalContext` being dropped when the tool call fails
5066- Fixed stdio MCP servers that print stray non-JSON lines to stdout being disconnected on the first stray line (regression in 2.1.105)

5082- `/undo` is now an alias for `/rewind`
5083- Improved `/model` to warn before switching models mid-conversation, since the next response re-reads the full history uncached
5084- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
5085- 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
5086- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand
5087- Added "verbose" indicator when viewing the detailed transcript (`Ctrl+O`)
5088- Added a warning at startup when prompt caching is disabled via `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING*` environment variables

5094- Fixed session titles showing placeholder example text when the first message is a short greeting
5095- Fixed terminal escape codes appearing as garbage text in the prompt input after `--teleport`
5096- Fixed `/feedback` retry: pressing Enter to resubmit after a failure now works without first editing the description
5097- Fixed `--teleport` and `--resume <id>` precondition errors (e.g. dirty git tree, session not found) exiting silently instead of showing the error message
5098- Fixed Remote Control session titles set in the web UI being overwritten by auto-generated titles after the third message
5099- Fixed `--resume` truncating sessions when the transcript contained a self-referencing message

5109
5110- Added `path` parameter to the `EnterWorktree` tool to switch into an existing worktree of the current repository
5111- Added PreCompact hook support: hooks can now block compaction by exiting with code 2 or returning `{"decision":"block"}`

5115- Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
5116- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
5117- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
5118- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
5119- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
5120- 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
5121- Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely

5149
5150- Added `/team-onboarding` command to generate a teammate ramp-up guide from your local Claude Code usage
5151- Added OS CA certificate store trust by default, so enterprise TLS proxies work without extra setup (set `CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE=bundled` to use only bundled CAs)
5152- `/ultraplan` and other remote-session features now auto-create a default cloud environment instead of requiring web setup first
5153- Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message
5154- Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
5155- 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

5158- Improved `claude -p --resume <name>` to accept session titles set via `/rename` or `--name`
5159- Improved settings resilience: an unrecognized hook event name in `settings.json` no longer causes the entire file to be ignored
5160- Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set
5161- Improved `/plugin` and `claude plugin update` to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version

5165- Fixed a command injection vulnerability in the POSIX `which` fallback used by LSP binary detection
5166- Fixed a memory leak where long sessions retained dozens of historical copies of the message list in the virtual scroller
5167- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` losing conversation context on large sessions when the loader anchored on a dead-end branch instead of the live conversation
5168- Fixed `--resume` chain recovery bridging into an unrelated subagent conversation when a subagent message landed near a main-chain write gap
5169- Fixed a crash on `--resume` when a persisted Edit/Write tool result was missing its `file_path`
5170- Fixed a hardcoded 5-minute request timeout that aborted slow backends (local LLMs, extended thinking, slow gateways) regardless of `API_TIMEOUT_MS`
5171- Fixed `permissions.deny` rules not overriding a PreToolUse hook's `permissionDecision: "ask"` — previously the hook could downgrade a deny into a prompt

5179- Fixed `RemoteTrigger` tool's `run` action sending an empty body and being rejected by the server
5180- Fixed several `/resume` picker issues: narrow default view hiding sessions from other projects, unreachable preview on Windows Terminal, incorrect cwd in worktrees, session-not-found errors not surfacing in stderr, terminal title not being set, and resume hint overlapping the prompt input
5181- Fixed Grep tool ENOENT when the embedded ripgrep binary path becomes stale (VS Code extension auto-update, macOS App Translocation); now falls back to system `rg` and self-heals mid-session
5182- Fixed `/btw` writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use
5183- Fixed `/context` Free space and Messages breakdown disagreeing with the header percentage
5184- 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
5185- 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
5186- Fixed `ctrl+]`, `ctrl+\`, and `ctrl+^` keybindings not firing in terminals that send raw C0 control bytes (Terminal.app, default iTerm2, xterm)
5187- Fixed `/login` OAuth URL rendering with padding that prevented clean mouse selection
5188- 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
5189- Fixed crash when `settings.json` env values are numbers instead of strings
5190- Fixed in-app settings writes (e.g. `/add-dir --remember`, `/config`) not refreshing the in-memory snapshot, preventing removed directories from being revoked mid-session

5192- Fixed `claude --continue -p` not correctly continuing sessions created by `-p` or the SDK
5193- Fixed several Remote Control issues: worktrees removed on session crash, connection failures not persisting in the transcript, spurious "Disconnected" indicator in brief mode for local sessions, and `/remote-control` failing over SSH when only `CLAUDE_CODE_ORGANIZATION_UUID` is set
5194- Fixed `/insights` sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
5195- [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed
5196

5571- Added transcript search — press `/` in transcript mode (`Ctrl+O`) to search, `n`/`N` to step through matches
5572- Added `Ctrl+X Ctrl+E` as an alias for opening the external editor (readline-native binding; `Ctrl+G` still works)
5573- Pasted images now insert an `[Image #N]` chip at the cursor so you can reference them positionally in your prompt

5613- Reduced scrollback resets in long sessions from once per turn to once per ~50 messages
5614- Faster `claude -p` startup with unauthenticated HTTP/SSE MCP servers (~600ms saved)
5615- Bash ghost-text suggestions now include just-submitted commands immediately
5616- Increased non-streaming fallback token cap (21k → 64k) and timeout (120s → 300s local) so fallback requests are less likely to be truncated

5625- Claude can now reference the on-disk path of clipboard-pasted images for file operations
5626- `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.

5642
5643## 2.1.81
5644
5645- 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

5742
5743## 2.1.77

5746- Added `allowRead` sandbox filesystem setting to re-allow read access within `denyRead` regions
5747- `/copy` now accepts an optional index: `/copy N` copies the Nth-latest assistant response
5748- 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
5749- Fixed auto-updater starting overlapping binary downloads when the slash-command overlay repeatedly opened and closed, accumulating tens of gigabytes of memory

5779- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check skill, agent, and command frontmatter plus `hooks/hooks.json`, catching YAML parse errors and schema violations
5780- Background bash tasks are now killed if output exceeds 5GB, preventing runaway processes from filling disk
5781- Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
5782- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
5783- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
5784- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
5785- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
5786- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)

5816- Fixed bridge sessions failing to recover after extended WebSocket disconnects
5817- Fixed slash commands not found when typing the exact name of a soft-hidden command
5818- Improved `--worktree` startup performance by reading git refs directly and skipping redundant `git fetch` when the remote branch is already available locally
5819- Improved background agent behavior — killing a background agent now preserves its partial results in the conversation context
5820- Improved model fallback notifications — now always visible instead of hidden behind verbose mode, with human-friendly model names
5821- Improved blockquote readability on dark terminal themes — text is now italic with a left bar instead of dim
5822- Improved stale worktree cleanup — worktrees left behind after an interrupted parallel run are now automatically cleaned up
5823- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
5824- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input

5855- Fixed managed policy `ask` rules being bypassed by user `allow` rules or skill `allowed-tools`
5856- 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`
5857- Fixed MCP OAuth authentication hanging when the callback port is already in use
5858- 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)
5859- 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
5860- Fixed `SessionEnd` hooks being killed after 1.5 s on exit regardless of `hook.timeout` — now configurable via `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS`

5874- Fixed freezes and 100% CPU loops triggered by permission prompts for complex bash commands
5875- 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)
5876- Fixed Bash tool output being lost when running multiple Claude Code sessions in the same project directory
5877- Fixed subagents with `model: opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku` being silently downgraded to older model versions on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry

5891- Improved clipboard image pasting performance on macOS
5892- Improved `/effort` to work while Claude is responding, matching `/model` behavior
5893- Improved voice mode to automatically retry transient connection failures during rapid push-to-talk re-press
5894- Improved the Remote Control spawn mode selection prompt with better context
5895- Changed default Opus model on Bedrock, Vertex, and Microsoft Foundry to Opus 4.6 (was Opus 4.1)

5907- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
5908- 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
5909- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
5910- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
5911- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)

5929- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
5930- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
5931- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
5932- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
5933- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
5934- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query

5940- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
5941- 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
5942- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
5943- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
5944- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs

5956- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
5957- 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
5958- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
5959- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
5960- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
5961- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
5962- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other

5970- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
5971- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref

5973- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
5974- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
5975- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
5976- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
5977- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
5978- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
5979- 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
5980- 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.
5981- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
5982- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
5983
5984## 2.1.70
5985
5986- 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
5987- 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
5988- 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
5989- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
5990- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
5991- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`
5992- Fixed extra VS Code windows opening at startup on Windows when running from the VS Code integrated terminal
5993- Fixed voice mode failing on Windows native binary with "native audio module could not be loaded"
5994- Fixed push-to-talk not activating on session start when `voiceEnabled: true` was set in settings
5995- Fixed markdown links containing `#NNN` references incorrectly pointing to the current repository instead of the linked URL
5996- Fixed repeated "Model updated to Opus 4.6" notification when a project's `.claude/settings.json` has a legacy Opus model string pinned
5997- Fixed plugins showing as inaccurately installed in `/plugin`
5998- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
5999- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
6000- 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
6001- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
6002- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
6003- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
6004- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
6005- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
6006- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
6007- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
6008- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
6009- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
6010- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
6011- 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.
6012- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
6013- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
6014- [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
6015
6016## 2.1.69
6017
6018- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
6019- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
6020- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
6021- 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
6022- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
6023- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
6024- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
6025- 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`
6026- 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
6027- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
6028- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
6029- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
6030- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
6031- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
6032- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
6033- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
6034- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
6035- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
6036- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
6037- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
6038- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
6039- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
6040- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
6041- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
6042- 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.
6043- 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)
6044- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
6045- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
6046- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
6047- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
6048- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
6049- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
6050- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
6051- 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)
6052- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
6053- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
6054- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
6055- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
6056- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
6057- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
6058- Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
6059- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter
6060- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` being ignored during conversation compaction
6061- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
6062- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
6063- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
6064- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
6065- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
6066- 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
6067- 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
6068- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
6069- 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.
6070- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
6071- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
6072- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
6073- 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
6074- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
6075- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
6076- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
6077- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
6078- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
6079- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
6080- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
6081- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
6082- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
6083- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior
6084- Fixed `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` plugin hooks being silently ignored
6085- Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
6086- Fixed project skills without a `description:` frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
6087- Fixed `/context` showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
6088- Fixed literal `nul` file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style `2>nul` redirection in Git Bash
6089- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
6090- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
6091- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
6092- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
6093- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
6094- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
6095- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
6096- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
6097- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
6098- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
6099- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
6100- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
6101- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
6102- 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.
6103- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
6104- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
6105- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
6106- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
6107- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
6108- Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
6109- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
6110- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
6111- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
6112- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
6113- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
6114- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
6115- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
6116- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
6117- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
6118- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
6119- [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
6120- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
6121
6122## 2.1.68
6123
6124- 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`
6125- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
6126- 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
6127
6128## 2.1.66
6129
6130- Reduced spurious error logging
6131
6132## 2.1.63
6133
6134- Added `/simplify` and `/batch` bundled slash commands
6135- Fixed local slash command output like /cost appearing as user-sent messages instead of system messages in the UI
6136- Project configs & auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
6137- Added `ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false` env var to opt out from making claude.ai MCP servers available
6138- Improved `/model` command to show the currently active model in the slash command menu
6139- Added HTTP hooks, which can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON instead of running a shell command
6140- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
6141- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
6142- 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.
6143- Fixed memory leak when navigating hooks configuration menu
6144- Fixed listener leak in interactive permission handler during auto-approvals
6145- Fixed file count cache ignoring glob ignore patterns
6146- Fixed memory leak in bash command prefix cache
6147- Fixed MCP tool/resource cache leak on server reconnect
6148- Fixed IDE host IP detection cache incorrectly sharing results across ports
6149- Fixed WebSocket listener leak on transport reconnect
6150- Fixed memory leak in git root detection cache that could cause unbounded growth in long-running sessions
6151- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache that grew unbounded over long sessions
6152- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
6153- 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.
6154- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
6155- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
6156- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
6157- 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.
6158- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
6159- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
6160
6161## 2.1.62
6162
6163- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
6164
6165## 2.1.61
6166
6167- Fixed concurrent writes corrupting config file on Windows
6168
6169## 2.1.59
6170
6171- Claude automatically saves useful context to auto-memory. Manage with /memory
6172- Added `/copy` command to show an interactive picker when code blocks are present, allowing selection of individual code blocks or the full response.
6173- 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
6174- Improved ordering of short task lists
6175- Improved memory usage in multi-agent sessions by releasing completed subagent task state
6176- Fixed MCP OAuth token refresh race condition when running multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously
6177- Fixed shell commands not showing a clear error message when the working directory has been deleted
6178- Fixed config file corruption that could wipe authentication when multiple Claude Code instances ran simultaneously
6179
6180## 2.1.58
6181
6182- Expand Remote Control to more users
6183
6184## 2.1.56
6185
6186- VS Code: Fixed another cause of "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found" crashes
6187
6188## 2.1.55
6189
6190- Fixed BashTool failing on Windows with EINVAL error
6191
6192## 2.1.53
6193
6194- Fixed a UI flicker where user input would briefly disappear after submission before the message rendered
6195- Fixed bulk agent kill (ctrl+f) to send a single aggregate notification instead of one per agent, and to properly clear the command queue
6196- Fixed graceful shutdown sometimes leaving stale sessions when using Remote Control by parallelizing teardown network calls
6197- Fixed `--worktree` sometimes being ignored on first launch
6198- Fixed a panic ("switch on corrupted value") on Windows
6199- Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning many processes on Windows
6200- Fixed a crash in the WebAssembly interpreter on Linux x64 & Windows x64
6201- Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred after 2 minutes on Windows ARM64
6202
6203## 2.1.52
6204
6205- VS Code: Fixed extension crash on Windows ("command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found")
6206
6207## 2.1.51
6208
6209- Added `claude remote-control` subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.
6210- Updated plugin marketplace default git timeout from 30s to 120s and added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS` to configure.
6211- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
6212- 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`.
6213- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
6214- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
6215- 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.
6216- 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.
6217- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
6218- 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.
6219- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files
6220
6221## 2.1.50
6222
6223- Added support for `startupTimeout` configuration for LSP servers
6224- Added `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
6225- 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.
6226- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
6227- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state
6228- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` to fully strip down skills, session memory, custom agents, and CLAUDE.md token counting
6229- Fixed `/mcp reconnect` freezing the CLI when given a server name that doesn't exist
6230- Fixed memory leak where completed task state objects were never removed from AppState
6231- Added support for `isolation: worktree` in agent definitions, allowing agents to declaratively run in isolated git worktrees.
6232- `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` mode now also disables MCP tools, attachments, hooks, and CLAUDE.md file loading for a fully minimal experience.
6233- Fixed bug where MCP tools were not discovered when tool search is enabled and a prompt is passed in as a launch argument
6234- Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing internal caches after compaction
6235- Added `claude agents` CLI command to list all configured agents
6236- Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing large tool results after they have been processed
6237- Fixed a memory leak where LSP diagnostic data was never cleaned up after delivery, causing unbounded memory growth in long sessions
6238- Fixed a memory leak where completed task output was not freed from memory, reducing memory usage in long sessions with many tasks
6239- Improved startup performance for headless mode (`-p` flag) by deferring Yoga WASM and UI component imports
6240- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
6241- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long sessions by capping file history snapshots
6242- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT` environment variable to disable 1M context window support
6243- Opus 4.6 (fast mode) now includes the full 1M context window
6244- VSCode: Added `/extra-usage` command support in VS Code sessions
6245- Fixed memory leak where TaskOutput retained recent lines after cleanup
6246- Fixed memory leak in CircularBuffer where cleared items were retained in the backing array
6247- Fixed memory leak in shell command execution where ChildProcess and AbortController references were retained after cleanup
6248
6249## 2.1.49
6250
6251- Improved MCP OAuth authentication with step-up auth support and discovery caching, reducing redundant network requests during server connections
6252- Added `--worktree` (`-w`) flag to start Claude in an isolated git worktree
6253- Subagents support `isolation: "worktree"` for working in a temporary git worktree
6254- Added Ctrl+F keybinding to kill background agents (two-press confirmation)
6255- Agent definitions support `background: true` to always run as a background task
6256- Plugins can ship `settings.json` for default configuration
6257- Fixed file-not-found errors to suggest corrected paths when the model drops the repo folder
6258- 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.
6259- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
6260- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
6261- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
6262- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
6263- 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.
6264- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes
6265- Fixed unbounded WASM memory growth during long sessions by periodically resetting the tree-sitter parser
6266- Fixed potential rendering issues caused by stale yoga layout references
6267- Improved performance in non-interactive mode (`-p`) by skipping unnecessary API calls during startup
6268- Improved performance by caching authentication failures for HTTP and SSE MCP servers, avoiding repeated connection attempts to servers requiring auth
6269- Fixed unbounded memory growth during long-running sessions caused by Yoga WASM linear memory never shrinking
6270- SDK model info now includes `supportsEffort`, `supportedEffortLevels`, and `supportsAdaptiveThinking` fields so consumers can discover model capabilities.
6271- Added `ConfigChange` hook event that fires when configuration files change during a session, enabling enterprise security auditing and optional blocking of settings changes.
6272- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
6273- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
6274- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call
6275- Fixed `disableAllHooks` setting to respect managed settings hierarchy — non-managed settings can no longer disable managed hooks set by policy (#26637)
6276- 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.
6277- 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
6278
6279## 2.1.47
6280
6281- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
6282- 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.
6283- 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.
6284- 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.
6285- 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)
6286- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use
6287- Improved startup performance by deferring SessionStart hook execution, reducing time-to-interactive by ~500ms.

6299- Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
6300- Fixed an issue where a single file write/edit error would abort all other parallel file write/edit operations. Independent file mutations now complete even when a sibling fails.

6318- Fixed CJK wide characters causing misaligned timestamps and layout elements in the TUI (anthropics/claude-code#26084)
6319- Fixed custom agent `model` field in `.claude/agents/*.md` being ignored when spawning team teammates (anthropics/claude-code#26064)
6320- Fixed plan mode being lost after context compaction, causing the model to switch from planning to implementation mode (anthropics/claude-code#26061)
6321- Fixed `alwaysThinkingEnabled: true` in settings.json not enabling thinking mode on Bedrock and Vertex providers (anthropics/claude-code#26074)
6322- Fixed `tool_decision` OTel telemetry event not being emitted in headless/SDK mode (anthropics/claude-code#26059)
6323- Fixed session name being lost after context compaction — renamed sessions now preserve their custom title through compaction (anthropics/claude-code#26121)
6324- Increased initial session count in resume picker from 10 to 50 for faster session discovery (anthropics/claude-code#26123)
