3## 2.1.296
4
5- Added a `code` key to the Claude apps gateway's `managed.policies[]`: the same settings as `cli`, also applied in Claude Desktop's Code tab; beside `desktop`, it turns on Claude Desktop's gateway mode
6- Added `autoCompactWindow` to subagent frontmatter and `--agents` definitions, so a subagent can auto-compact earlier than the main conversation's window
7- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_SUBAGENT_MODEL` to run every workflow agent on one model while other subagents keep theirs
8- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OVERLOADED_RETRY_MAX_DELAY_MS` environment variable to set a longer maximum delay for the backoff when retrying an overloaded (529) request
9- Added a note in `/plugin` on a plugin whose hooks are left out because another enabled plugin has the same name
10- Added an `allow_large` option to the Read tool so Claude can read a text file past the usual size limits in one call when it needs the whole file and the context has room
11- Fixed managed-settings `PreToolUse` hooks that deny a tool call with `"continue": false`, and managed `prompt` hooks that block one, refusing the call but not ending the turn
12- Fixed PostToolUse hooks in managed settings not applying `updatedMCPToolOutput` in some sessions
13- Fixed headless sessions starting a folder's `.mcp.json` or plugin MCP server that was switched off for that folder, after changing directory or reloading plugins
14- Fixed a Claude apps gateway that serves `allowedProviders` with `"gateway"` locking out laptops that name that gateway in user settings
15- Fixed a saved Claude apps gateway sign-in being ignored on machines whose managed settings set `forceLoginMethod` to `gateway` with no `forceLoginGatewayUrl` (regression in 2.1.295)
16- Fixed `--teleport` opening an empty conversation when the session's history could not be read
17- Fixed token counts for Haiku 5.5 and other models that take only adaptive thinking, which failed behind some gateways and were counted with budget thinking elsewhere
18- Fixed resumed subagents being told that the user rejected a tool call that a session shutdown had interrupted
19- Fixed hook output being altered when it contained text resembling a plugin hint tag
20- Fixed secret redaction in shared transcripts and debug logs missing some values that follow a key with no value, including in JSON written inside a shell string
21- Fixed a stray `52;c;…` escape sequence printed on screen after copying in older VTE-based terminals such as MATE Terminal
22- Fixed toasts and notifications waiting unseen for as long as the `/diff` panel or dialog was open
23- Fixed Esc or an interrupt during a `UserPromptSubmit` hook or a mod's `prompt.submit` hook ending headless sessions, clearing the typed prompt, or letting the unchecked prompt through
24- Fixed SessionStart hooks of a plugin loaded after a headless session starts being skipped when a different plugin with the same name, or another spelling of it, had already run
25- Fixed `claude self-hosted-runner` printing misleading errors when registration is refused: it now names the org admin setting, or says a restarted on-demand runner needs a fresh work order
26- Fixed a self-hosted runner session's git fetch, pull and push failing while another session of the same repository starts on a runner with `--capacity` above 1
27- Fixed workflow scripts silently truncating results, agent options and other values nested deeper than about 20,000 levels, and deeply nested results writing huge task output files
28- Fixed a plugin's served `$` methods running in the main session's working directory instead of the calling agent's, and ignoring the turn their calling hook holds
29- Fixed `$.agent.register` succeeding from a mod's hook that was still running after the mod was reloaded or removed; the call is now refused
30- Fixed `$.http.fetch` in mods refusing a `HEAD` request when the response declares a `Content-Length` over the 4 MiB body limit
31- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace add`, `marketplace update` and `plugin install` failing with an internal error for a marketplace named like `constructor`; `add` now refuses such names clearly
32- Fixed a plugin secret named `constructor` or `prototype` being deleted by the next save of that plugin's options
33- Fixed cloud sessions skipping auto mode's checks on Claude in Chrome actions that a saved permission allows when their feature flags had not loaded
34- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` re-running a finished turn after a restart when an MCP tool result had ended that turn
35- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving some commands that assign the `BASH_ARGV0` shell variable and then use it; these now prompt for approval
36- Fixed Edit and NotebookEdit replacing every non-ASCII character in files that are not valid UTF-8 (Windows-1252, Shift-JIS, GBK); such edits are now refused
37- Fixed a prompt sent just after `←` being run twice, once unseen in the foreground, when the background service was slow to answer
38- Fixed a prompt sent while SessionStart hooks were still running vanishing when `←` moved the session to the background; it is still not sent, but `↑` now brings it back
39- Fixed a late-loading plugin's SessionStart hook output reaching the new conversation after `/clear` in headless sessions
40- Fixed PowerShell commands not seeing variables that hooks write to CLAUDE_ENV_FILE (when the file holds only plain assignments)
41- Fixed Claude calling cloud sessions non-interactive and suggesting `/mcp` or `claude mcp` when an MCP server needs authentication
42- Fixed `/code-review` ending on a raw JSON array in cloud sessions, the Agent SDK and IDE integrations; the findings now print as a numbered list
43- Fixed auto mode occasionally refusing one update to your own artifact, saying its sharing had changed when it had not
44- Fixed skills synced from claude.ai never finishing their install, and being downloaded again at every sync, when several sessions share a config directory
45- Fixed a plugin synced from claude.ai being disabled when the marketplace dependency it declares was also synced from claude.ai
46- Fixed a startup hang on macOS when plugin paths copied from a Linux machine pointed under /home
47- Fixed the Workflow tool refusing script files with CRLF line endings, such as files checked out on Windows
48- Fixed OpenTelemetry `tool_result` events missing `git_commit_id` after `git commit -q` or `git -C <dir> commit`
49- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_TRANSCRIPT_LOCAL_GC` dropping a message from the saved transcript when its text held a Unicode line or paragraph separator (U+2028, U+2029)
50- Fixed `claude purge` leaving a prompt in the history file when its text held a Unicode line or paragraph separator (U+2028, U+2029)
51- Windows: Fixed PowerShell commands longer than about 1 KB always asking for permission, so allow rules and read-only detection now apply up to 32 KB
52- Windows: Fixed stdio MCP servers being force-killed at shutdown; stdin now closes first and the process tree is killed only if the server is still running after 300 ms
53- Windows: Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for GitHub `owner/repo` plugin sources on machines with no GitHub SSH key; the clone is now retried over HTTPS
54- Windows: Fixed `rm -rf /c/Users/<name>` in Git Bash not asking in bypass permissions mode
55- Improved fullscreen mode: the link under the mouse pointer is now underlined to show it can be opened
56- Improved transcript toggle (ctrl+o) responsiveness in code-heavy conversations by caching syntax-highlighted code blocks
57- Improved Claude Desktop's Code tab behind a Claude apps gateway: when a session can't start, including on a machine not set up for the gateway's `code` settings, the reason shows as a reply
58- Improved the errors for a refused cloud session: they now say why your organization's policy couldn't be loaded, and name an API key or auth token that overrides your claude.ai login
59- Improved `--debug` output to name unrecognized frontmatter fields in custom agent files, with a hint for likely typos
60- Improved auto mode: a tool call that wasn't run because auto mode's check had no usable answer now shows as a dim "Not run" row instead of a red error
61- Improved `--debug` output for hooks: command hooks on tool calls, prompts, SessionStart and Stop now log their command, plugin, outcome and duration when they finish, so a slow hook is identifiable
62- Improved `CLAUDE_CODE_TRANSCRIPT_LOCAL_GC`: a large transcript file is no longer rewritten when that would free under 10% of it
63- Updated `/cost`, the status line, `--max-budget-usd` and the SDK's cost figures to price Sonnet 5.5 cache reads at $0.10 per million tokens (was $0.20)
64- Updated the bundled dataviz skill: lighter violet for the seventh series in light mode, softer primary text in dark mode, and compact y-axis labels like 1K
65- Changed the default limit on MCP tool descriptions sent up front and on MCP server instructions from 2,048 to 4,096 characters
66- Changed `←`: a turn or `!` command started while the session moves to the background is now stopped instead of finishing out of sight
67- [VSCode] Fixed `claudeCode.spinnerVerbs` missing from the extension's settings, so settings.json now completes and validates it; a malformed value no longer breaks the chat panel
68- [VSCode] Changed Claude in Chrome to ask before browser actions in every session, including one connected with `@browser`, as the terminal does; allowing a site for the session stops repeat asks
69- [VSCode] Fixed chat links written as a full Windows path, such as C:\repo\file.ts or file:///C:/repo/file.ts, not opening the file on Windows
70- [VSCode] Fixed the working indicator still animating when reduced motion is turned on in your OS, in VS Code, or with the `prefersReducedMotion` setting
71- [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock reading warm after the panel caught up on messages late, such as after the display was off or a remote window reconnected
72- [Cloud sessions] Added a status filter to the Sessions and Runners lists on a self-hosted environment's Activity tab in admin settings; you can pick several statuses at once
73- [Cloud sessions] Fixed every cloud session waiting for a self-hosted runner showing the same queue position; each now shows how many sessions are ahead of it
74- [Cloud sessions] Fixed a message you send while Claude is still replying in a cloud session jumping above that reply when it finishes; it now stays below it, including after a reload
75- [Claude Tag] Changed Claude in Slack to show the footer with the session link, model and cost only on its newest reply in a thread; the reply before it drops the footer
76- [Claude Tag] Fixed links to URLs that contain parentheses breaking in some of Claude's Slack replies and task checklists, which showed stray bracket text and opened the wrong page
77- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude's Slack replies drawing color swatches beside codes that only look like hex colors, such as six-digit pull request numbers
78- [Claude Tag] Added creating, editing and deleting workspace and channel memory files on the Activity page's Memory tab for members with the Claude Tag Admin permission
79- [Claude Tag] Fixed the plugin confirmation card Claude posts in a Slack channel showing a plugin's ID instead of its name
80- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack posting a card to remove a plugin the channel's own settings don't include; it now explains where the plugin comes from instead
81- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack sometimes losing its reply when a session in a self-hosted environment moved to a new runner partway through a task
82- [Code Review] Fixed the Code Review check sometimes staying "in progress" on a pull request after the review finished; it now shows the review's result
83- [Code Review] Improved Code Review admin settings to say why a setting couldn't be saved, such as a policy restriction, instead of a generic failure message
84
85## 2.1.295
86
87- Added `onFailure: "block"` for command and HTTP hooks: a hook that can't start, times out, or exits with an unexpected code blocks the action instead of letting it through
88- Added Program Status Protocol (OSC 7501) support: terminals that implement it can show whether Claude Code is working, waiting on you, or done
89- Added quoted text to the `/copy` picker, so a drafted message copies without its `>` markers
90- Added a warning to `claude plugin install`, `enable`, `disable` and `marketplace add` when the settings file they write to does not load
91- Added a line on stderr, when it is a terminal, that says what a `claude -p` run is waiting for when it stays open after its last turn
92- Added support for `timeouts.upstream_ttfb_ms` on the Claude apps gateway's Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other cloud upstreams: a value you set now limits how long a stream may take to start there, after which it fails over or gets a 502
93- Added a "Backgrounding cancelled" message when you stop the turn while `←` is waiting for the current tool to finish
94- Added an optional `models` list to every Claude apps gateway upstream: only the listed models are sent there, on failover too, and one `*` in an entry is a wildcard
95- Added support for `forceLoginMethod: "gateway"` and `forceLoginGatewayUrl` in your own user settings on machines with no managed settings, so `/login` opens on that Claude apps gateway
96- Added advice to `claude plugin validate` when a plugin's README has no install line: it prints the line to paste and never changes the exit code, even with `--strict`
97- Added `upstream_request_id` to the Claude apps gateway's `inference` audit event: the request ID from Amazon Bedrock, the Anthropic API or another upstream, for support cases
98- Added `$.ui.notify` for mods: raises a native notification through your own notification setting and says which channel sent it
99- Added children to a mod's `Button`: strings and `Text`, so a row of a list is one pressable with a chip or a dim detail inside
100- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG_MAX_WAIT_MS` to limit how long unattended retry mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG`) waits out 429 and 529 errors
101- Added a `request-id` header to the Claude apps gateway's successful inference responses, so `request_id` in Claude Code telemetry matches the gateway's audit log
102- Fixed every request failing on a `[1m]` model when a gateway, Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry refuses the context-1m beta; Claude Code now resends without it
103- Fixed `claude -p` text output dropping earlier responses when background work started another turn; each turn's response now prints when the turn ends
104- Fixed remote MCP servers in headless and SDK sessions staying disconnected after an outage longer than 15 seconds, or reconnecting in a tight loop to a server that drops each connection right after it connects; repeated drops now back off, up to 30s
105- Fixed remote MCP connections being dropped when a server's error reply happened to contain a network error name
106- Fixed MCP servers that repeat a pagination cursor being asked for the same page up to 20 times at every connect
107- Fixed CSS, JavaScript and XML files returned by MCP tools being saved as .bin, which the Read tool refuses; font and icon files now get their own extension too
108- Fixed Bash tool calls failing when the model passes `command_description` instead of `description`
109- Fixed Claude in Chrome not applying a site deny rule written with port 80 (`host:80`) to plain `http://` pages on that host
110- Fixed `/plugin`'s Errors tab removing a marketplace that failed to load, and uninstalling its plugins, on Enter without asking first
111- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace add` reporting success for a marketplace whose name no plugin can be installed under; such an add is now refused
112- Fixed `CLAUDE_AUTO_BACKGROUND_TASKS` moving a subagent to the background while an edit or shell command waited behind it, which started that call before the subagent finished
113- Fixed PushNotification saying a push was not sent in `claude remote-control` sessions right after a phone message, without the `/config` toggle, or when started from inside Claude Code
114- Fixed files sent from remote sessions being refused as "could not be vouched for" when more than 256 were sent at once
115- Fixed a rare failure to load managed settings at startup right after a login refresh
116- Fixed `/tui` exiting without a message, or with a raw system error, when Claude Code could not be started again
117- Fixed a link address shown as text being hidden by a colour or conceal style a reply left on, including where it wraps in a table or a question preview
118- Fixed Fable models listed in `availableModels` not appearing in the `/model` picker for sessions signed in to a Claude apps gateway; such a model now shows its built-in row in place of a `modelPicker` row added for the same model
119- Fixed the Claude apps gateway's admin spend view showing a developer's old groups and group cap after their session stopped carrying groups
120- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC` hiding the Claude apps gateway spend limit in `/usage` and the status line. The spend limit request goes to the gateway the session is signed in to
121- Fixed subagents in their own linked worktree being shown the parent session's git branch, status and recent commits
122- Fixed Claude stopping at the end of the current tool when text typed in the prompt cancelled backgrounding with `←`; Claude now keeps working in the foreground
123- Fixed `--tools` and `--restricted` not applying to built-in tools that register after launch, and deprecated tool names reaching tools outside the caller's tool set
124- Fixed an interrupt not ending the turn until a timeout while Claude waited for an MCP server's resource list
125- Fixed a mod's hook being handed a deeply nested tool input cut short with no error, so a guard could pass content it never saw
126- Fixed Esc not stopping a self-paced `/loop` that was moved to the background with `←`; cancelling a pending wakeup now shows a notice
127- Fixed commands and hooks in background sessions inheriting `FORCE_COLOR=3`, which put color escape codes into the output Claude reads
128- Fixed `claude agents` starting a new background service as it exited when both were stopped with a session open (for example at a reboot), which could delay shutdown and restart an interrupted session
129- Fixed a custom agent named `worker` being shown as "Agent" in auto-mode denial notices and in the activity lists of task detail views
130- Fixed Bash permission checks for for-loops over glob patterns, improving permission-check accuracy
131- Fixed forked skills invoked from Workflow subagents delivering their results to the main conversation instead of the invoking agent
132- Fixed in-process agent teammates failing their first SendMessage call until they loaded the tool through tool search
133- Fixed Claude being told on resume that an unfinished background workflow may have been stopped by `TaskStop`, which can never be the cause
134- Fixed Claude not being told when you stop a long-running MCP tool call from the tasks panel or a connected client
135- Fixed a background session's `/loop` stopping without notice when its next wakeup came due while the session's process was down; the session now says so and Claude is told
136- Fixed raw terminal hyperlink bytes in a reply or a teammate's message being drawn as a clickable link with a hidden address
137- Fixed plugin marketplaces whose repository has large git submodules failing to add or refresh: only the submodules that hold plugin files are now fetched
138- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog showing a checkmark on a saved advisor model that is no longer available; it now opens on "No advisor"
139- Fixed the notification for an MCP tool call that moved to the background showing a shortened task id
140- Fixed vim mode's `~` moving the cursor past the last character of a line, so `x` after it did nothing, and `3~` running on into the next line
141- Fixed the cursor landing one character too far after pasting accented text copied from macOS (such as a file name) into the middle of the prompt
142- Fixed the terminal freezing, with ctrl+c ignored, when a response ran to tens of thousands of lines
143- Fixed calls a mod makes while it reloads during a plugin hooks worker restart getting past another mod's guard hook that has a `.catch`; such calls are now refused
144- Fixed plugins whose hooks module nests code thousands of levels deep failing to load or validate with a bare stack-overflow message
145- Fixed `claude plugin test` passing a `session.append` hook that removes tool call, tool result or thinking blocks that a real session keeps
146- Fixed Claude not being told it can resume background subagents with SendMessage after a session was killed and resumed a second time
147- Fixed a file being treated as already read after a Bash command such as `cat` ran without printing it
148- Fixed plugin options named `constructor` or `prototype` always reading as their default and never reloading the plugin when edited
149- Fixed a mod's hot reload missing a save made while `/reload-plugins` or session start was reading the mod's files
150- Fixed the mod hot-reloading question being asked again every turn for the whole session when it is approved without picking an answer
151- Fixed `/model`, `/fast` and `/output-style` saving their setting without asking a plugin's `config.set` hook
152- Fixed bold text being drawn faint in piped output when it directly follows dim text
153- Fixed replies whose quotes nest deeper every few lines freezing the terminal for seconds and using gigabytes of memory
154- Fixed a mod's hot reload missing a save made within a few milliseconds of its last reload, which left the mod on its old version until the next save
155- Fixed `claude mcp serve` background Bash results not naming the output file, and its tool description promising a notification that never arrives
156- Fixed an async SessionStart hook's unchanged context being added to the conversation again on every resume
157- Fixed variables a SessionStart hook writes to `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` not reaching the Bash tool after an in-app `/resume` or `/branch`
158- Fixed a skill's `allowed-tools` and `effort` being dropped when the Skill tool finished before the response stream ended, which denied the skill's Bash commands in `-p` runs
159- Fixed a tampered cache of server-managed settings making a person's own plugin count as organization-managed on machines whose managed settings list or enable plugins
160- Fixed Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3.x Sonnet sessions being offered tool search, which those models reject, where feature flags are unavailable
161- Fixed generated type files being written into a `--plugin-dir` plugin's folder in `-p` and SDK sessions; they are now written only where a mod is being developed
162- Fixed text with tabs or bidirectional control characters losing its end at the edge of the screen or drawing over nearby rows
163- Fixed `/model` saying a Max effort pick was saved as your default for new sessions; Max applies to the current session only
164- Fixed an async hook's JSON output being ignored when it is printed over several lines
165- Fixed the Read tool rejecting calls with an empty `pages` parameter instead of treating it as omitted
166- Fixed project-scope plugins not loading in VS Code on Windows due to drive-letter casing (anthropics/claude-code#74612)
167- Fixed `plugin install` and `uninstall` at project or local scope on Windows missing the install record, or adding a second one, when only the drive letter's case differs
168- Fixed a queued message being lost when pulled back into the prompt with `↑` or `Esc` just after `←`: prompt history now keeps it
169- Fixed mod hot-reloading turning off for the whole session when an SDK host closed its enable question before anyone answered; the question is now asked up to three times
170- Fixed a prompt that a mod's `prompt.submit` hook rewrote or dropped still being saved as typed to prompt history and to the transcript's queued-prompt records
171- Fixed non-interactive sessions telling you about MCP servers that need authentication when your request doesn't use them
172- Fixed the `claude_code.auth` OpenTelemetry login event not being emitted on Claude apps gateway sign-in. The event is exported when OpenTelemetry is configured on the machine or the session is already signed in to the gateway
173- Fixed a plugin that adds very large interfaces getting another plugin unloaded when the plugin hooks worker stalls
174- Fixed Edit treating a file as fully read when its contents changed without its modification time advancing
175- Fixed short command output with Windows line endings (CRLF) being drawn on a single line
176- Fixed a stopped scheduled task coming back on resume after a rewind, and a scheduled task being lost on resume after Esc or a rewind following a compaction
177- Fixed the terminal freezing for seconds or minutes while syntax highlighting code with very long lines, long runs of blank lines, or unclosed strings and heredocs
178- Fixed temporary files left under `~/.claude/seed-admin` by an interrupted `/ultrareview` upload never being removed by the retention cleanup
179- Fixed Desktop and SDK sessions refusing to switch back to auto mode until restart after `disableAutoMode` was removed from settings
180- Fixed claude.ai-synced plugin hooks failing with "Plugin directory does not exist" in long-running sessions after another session synced a plugin update
181- Fixed the prompt sent after a `/rewind` being lost, and the removed turns coming back, when the session was moved to the background or resumed after being killed
182- Fixed cloud sessions hanging when a mod's `session.receive` hook asked for permission before passing a message on
183- Fixed macOS background sessions that restart together after an update sometimes running outside the stable app wrapper, so folder-access prompts could reappear
184- Fixed an MCP sign-in or reconnect that finishes late in headless and SDK sessions relisting a server set with `setMcpServers()` as your own
185- Fixed changing the auto-update channel in `/config` saving before a plugin's `config.set` hook was asked
186- macOS: Fixed a file count at session start that could reach other apps' data and raise the "access data from other apps" prompt when a session starts in the home folder or above it
187- Improved token counts behind a Claude apps gateway on Amazon Bedrock, which `/context` and large file reads use: the gateway now gets them from AWS's CountTokens API instead of a one-token model request. Grant `bedrock:CountTokens` to use it
188- Improved the Claude apps gateway to log a warning every 30 seconds while its PostgreSQL database is read-only, saying what fails and how to recover
189- Improved the status shown in Remote Control, claude.ai and the desktop app for a session waiting on a permission prompt to name an MCP tool by its server and readable name instead of its `mcp__server__tool` identifier
190- Improved background requests behind a Claude apps gateway to use Haiku 4.5 instead of the session's model, falling back to the session's model where the gateway does not serve Haiku 4.5
191- Improved how the Claude apps gateway handles models not listed under `models:` in Amazon Bedrock regions outside AWS's US geography. AWS always refused those requests; the gateway now tries the model in your own region, and a refusal names the model to add
192- Improved headless `rate_limit_event` usage-limit warnings to say whether the account has extra usage turned on
193- Improved the built-in `plugin-authoring` skill: it no longer tells a session with no terminal to run terminal commands, and explains sharing a mod only when asked
194- Improved Grep input handling: a search sent with grep's `-l`, `-c` or `-r` flag now runs instead of failing the call
195- Improved `claude plugin validate` and plugin loading: when a hooks module is refused over a rebound top-level `var`, the error now names the line that rebinds it, the cause, and a fix
196- Improved the Workflow tool's `scriptPath` refusal: it now says to pass the script inline via `script`, the route that works in sessions without a Read tool
197- Improved what Claude is told when a large file it sends fails to upload with no reason given, so it reports the failure instead of shrinking the file
198- Changed MCP tool descriptions the model loads through tool search to be cut at 16,384 characters instead of 2,048
199- Changed subagents to preload at most 32 skills from the `skills` field, each once; a subagent with the Skill tool can still invoke the rest
200- Changed Ctrl+C at the idle prompt of an attached background session to leave a pending `/loop` wakeup alone, so pressing it twice detaches and the loop keeps running; press Esc to stop it
201- Changed `claude agents` stopped with its background service (macOS, or Linux without the service installed): running sessions now stop in about a minute unless it is run again, and a notice says so
202- Changed claude.ai connectors to negotiate MCP protocol version 2026-07-28 by default on installs that fetch no flags; `MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION=legacy` opts out
203- Changed Artifact pages with no background of their own to show on white instead of off-white
204- Changed what Claude and you read when a mod denies a tool call after the tool ran: it now says the tool ran and a plugin withheld its result
205- Changed tab stops to count from where a text starts instead of from the screen's left edge: an answer indented by 2 has its first stop 8 cells in, where it was 6
206- Changed the Artifact tool's permission prompts with telemetry disabled to the same five questions other installs get, instead of asking before each read of someone else's artifact and each data edit
207- Changed scheduled and Run now routine runs in installs with telemetry disabled to publish new private artifacts, and update your own, without asking, as in other installs
208- Changed toasts from your organization's mods to show ahead of other mods' toasts instead of waiting behind them
209- Changed the Claude apps gateway to start with a warning and serve a `desktop` policy key its bundled Claude Desktop schema doesn't know, so new Desktop settings need no gateway upgrade
210- Changed WebSocket (`ws`) MCP servers: a message over 16 MiB is no longer parsed and closes the connection, the limit the other transports already have
211- [VSCode] Added a chat row for files Claude sends you: click a file's name to open it in the editor; Claude's caption shows underneath, and the row stays visible in Focus view
212- [VSCode] Fixed "Fork conversation from here" and Rewind's conversation restore failing with "Message not found in session" after a background agent's activity or one of the panel's own status lines
213- [VSCode] Fixed Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Cmd+Shift+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab in the chat input also switching the permission mode, and Ctrl+Tab accepting the suggested prompt
214- [VSCode] Fixed keyboard focus bouncing between two Claude views visible at once, which could send typed text to the wrong conversation
215- Self-hosted runner: Changed the runner to stop passing `CCR_AUTO_MODE_ALLOW`, `CCR_AUTO_MODE_ENVIRONMENT` and `CCR_AUTO_MODE_SOFT_DENY` into a session's environment
216- Self-hosted runner: Fixed git fetches being cut off while the git server was still reporting progress on a large repository; `CLAUDE_RUNNER_FETCH_SERVER_PROGRESS_CAP_MS` tunes or turns off the wait
217- [Cloud sessions] Fixed a message sent right after unarchiving a cloud session sometimes getting no reply because no container could start for it
218- [Cloud sessions] Fixed some older routines starting their runs without ever giving Claude their saved prompt; those routines now run their prompt again
219- [Cloud sessions] Improved how quickly a cloud session catches up after its connection drops: activity you missed now appears all at once instead of row by row
220- [Cloud sessions] Improved the setup script box in the cloud environment form: it starts taller, grows with your script, and can be resized by dragging
221- [Claude Tag] Changed the settings confirmation cards Claude posts in a Slack channel to stay open for 30 minutes instead of 10
222- [Claude Tag] Changed Claude's notice that a channel shared across Enterprise Grid workspaces uses organization defaults to post only when someone mentions Claude, at most once a month
223- [Claude Tag] Fixed channel links and @-mentions in a forked thread's "Continued from" card showing as raw Slack codes
224- [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack's Working status spinning on under a thread after `@Claude !restart` had already confirmed the restart
225- [Claude Tag] Fixed another app's or bot's @Claude going unanswered in a busy channel where Claude had stopped reading untagged messages
226- [Claude Tag] Added a confirmation in Claude Tag admin settings before adding a channel manager moves that member to Custom roles, which can remove their other access
227- [Code Review] Fixed Code Review re-reviews saying no issues were found while earlier findings were still open; the comment now says how many remain open
228- [Code Review] Fixed Code Review still skipping a large CLAUDE.md's rules when the pull request edits that file
229- Fixed web searches and `agent` hook evaluations taking much longer at `xhigh` and `max` effort
230
231## 2.1.294
232
233- Fixed `prompt` and `agent` hooks written as instructions (such as "Block commands that...") allowing what they should block
234- Improved how `prompt` hooks on Stop and SubagentStop written as instructions (such as "Carry on if the build is broken") are judged, so Claude is less likely to stop early
235
236## 2.1.293
237
238- Added Claude Haiku 5.5 (`claude-haiku-5-5`), now the default Haiku model on the Anthropic API — 1M context, $0.10/$0.50 per Mtok ($0.50/$2.50 for prompts over 100K)
239- Added `agentType` to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so scripts can tell custom subagent types apart
240- Added `isDeferred` to `$.tool.register` for mods: `false` lists the tool's schema in the prompt from the start instead of behind tool search
241- Fixed Claude sometimes treating its own last actions before a context compaction as done after it, and retracting or redoing finished work
242- Fixed a memory leak where an HTTP MCP connection kept every request it had sent until it closed
243- Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being lost when `←` moved the session to the background; if a queued message can't move, `←` now stays put and says so
244- Fixed `/model` effort ←/→ wrapping past the highest or lowest level, which could accidentally save Low as a model's default effort
245- Fixed `/tui` disconnecting Claude in Chrome in a session started with `--chrome`, and ignoring `--no-chrome`
246- Fixed Claude being told to continue or message subagents with `SendMessage` in sessions, including resumed ones, where a host, a permission rule or a `--tools` list removed that tool
247- Fixed subagents and `--agent` sessions being told a built-in tool was disabled for the whole session when only their own tool list left it out
248- Fixed a claude.ai-synced skill's edited description sometimes not reaching the model until a new conversation or `/clear`
249- Fixed `claude logs`, `stop`, `kill`, `rm` and `claude daemon status`, `stop`, `uninstall` sometimes signing you out when your login had expired or was about to
250- Fixed the footer's agents count disappearing after a momentary failure to read the sessions folder (for example, too many open files)
251- Fixed a custom agent named `worker` being shown as "Agent" when it starts, and the agent detail dialog's title losing the agent type once the agent finishes
252- Fixed the Artifact tool's transcript row briefly reading `Artifact("(unprintable path)")` while a publish call was still streaming in
253- Fixed the `/ultrareview` upload on Linux wrongly refusing some repositories, such as one inside another checkout, over a settings file that "could not be parsed" while a sandboxed command was running
254- Fixed the `/ultrareview` upload's refusal over split-index files advising a git command that could leave git unable to read its index
255- Fixed replies in very long Remote Control and cloud sessions that could still appear a block at a time instead of streaming in
256- Fixed Remote Control uploading a session's starting history again after every credential recovery
257- Fixed PushNotification reporting "Remote Control inactive" in sessions started with `claude remote-control`
258- Fixed a mod's hooks on `classic.*` events being skipped while the plugin hooks worker restarts, which left settings hooks to answer without them
259- Fixed `claude plugin test` failing for mods that call `$.session.append`; tests can read the appended rows back with the new `mock.session`
260- Fixed `claude plugin eval` refusing every Bash-granting run on Macs with Docker Desktop (links under `~/.docker/bin`); the refusal now names which part of a credential store held the link
261- Fixed the Claude apps gateway refusing to start when a `desktop` policy sets Claude Desktop's built-in browser keys, such as `builtinBrowserEnabled`
262- Fixed `claude agents` offering bypass permissions that background sessions then ignored when consent was saved only in `.claude/settings.local.json` or a `--settings` file; it now asks for consent first, and a session that ignores bypass shows a short notice that stays
263- Fixed `←` backgrounding a session after 10 seconds while the prompt held unsent text (it now cancels the move) or a question was waiting for your answer
264- Fixed Esc, or No without feedback, on a permission prompt not stopping the turn when `←` had just been pressed to move the session to the background
265- Fixed the agents view briefly replacing the session list with placeholder rows when the sessions folder could not be read (for example, too many open files)
266- Fixed path-scoped rules and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading when Claude views a file with a single-file cat, head, tail, sed -n or grep command in the Bash tool instead of the Read tool
267- Fixed pasted text that begins and ends with the same words sometimes being sent to Claude as if it had been typed
268- Fixed a skill name in pasted text being treated as typed when an accent typed or pasted right after the paste merged into its last letter
269- Fixed `/feedback` returning to the drafts list after Ctrl+O or Ctrl+Z while a report was sending, leaving the send impossible to cancel
270- Fixed `claude purge` stopping silently (exit 0, or a hang in a terminal) when a file or folder could not be deleted; it now deletes the rest, lists what it could not delete, and exits 1
271- Fixed keybindings.json checks: a lone " " (space key) is no longer reported as an error, and keys like "ctrl+ k" now get a warning
272- Fixed vim mode `>>` and `<<` on a line of only spaces leaving the cursor past the end of the line, where a following `x` deleted nothing
273- Fixed vim mode: after deleting whole lines in Visual mode (`V` then `d`) the cursor lands on the first non-blank, and `.` after it acts on the cursor's line
274- Windows: Fixed stopping a status line, hook, or shell command sometimes terminating an unrelated process that had been given the same process ID
275- Reverted the auto mode denial message change from 2.1.281 that told Claude a denial covers the outcome, not only the exact command
276- Reverted the 2.1.290 fix for cloud sessions staying asleep after a container restart lost a pending `/loop` wakeup or scheduled task; Claude is no longer told, and the session stays asleep
277- Improved startup for Team and Enterprise organizations: policy and managed settings are fetched earlier, and a stalled request is retried after 3 seconds
278- Improved Claude in Chrome: fewer page actions are refused when the browser is slow to report its tabs
279- Improved the Claude in Chrome message in cloud sessions when the browser can't be reached: if you belong to more than one organization, it now says the extension must be signed in to the same one, and how to change that
280- Improved the Bash edit diff note to say the listed files changed while the command ran, which can include writes by other processes
281- Improved artifacts: Claude pins libraries to exact versions two weeks old or older
282- Changed claude.ai skill syncing to check for changes about every 40 minutes, instead of every 10, while no session is in use
283- Changed the order of agent lists and of MCP servers announced to the model: names with non-ASCII characters now sort after ASCII names
284- Changed OpenTelemetry `claude_code.at_mention` logging to emit at most 100 agent and 100 MCP-resource events each time a prompt is read
285- Self-hosted runner: Changed the orchestrator to sleep 4 to 6 seconds between polls instead of a constant 5, so several replicas for one environment stop polling at the same moment
286- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack saying a workspace isn't set up in Enterprise Grid channels shared across workspaces when Slack labels a message with a workspace that isn't connected
287- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack stopping mid-task in a channel when an admin changed the channel's connectors, plugins, skills or rules; the change now applies once Claude finishes
288- [Claude Tag] Fixed asking Claude in Slack to run a thread's routine now with extra notes starting a separate run that couldn't post back; the run now continues in that thread
289- [Claude Tag] Fixed an access bundle's Add a connector dialog in Claude Tag admin settings showing every Google connector as connected after one Google sign-in
290- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude Tag admin settings to list an Enterprise Grid that isn't connected yet, with a Connect button
291- [Claude Tag] Changed Claude in Slack to join announcement channels, where only admins can post, without posting its intro
292- [Claude Tag] Changed the limit on channel rules in Claude Tag admin settings from 20 to 50 for each workspace and for the organization-wide Slack page
293- [Code Review] Improved Code Review's Add a repository dialog to list each repository that couldn't be added and why, such as missing GitHub write access
294
295## 2.1.292
296
297- Added `--marketplace <source>` to `claude plugin install`: adds the marketplace if needed, under the same policy checks as `claude plugin marketplace add`, then installs the plugin from it
298- Added an `effort` parameter to the Agent tool, so Claude runs a sub-agent at the effort level you ask for
299- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OVERLOADED_RETRY_BASE_DELAY_MS` environment variable to set a longer base delay for the backoff when retrying an overloaded (529) request
300- Added `prompt.autocomplete`, an event a mod hooks to add its own rows to the prompt box's autocomplete list
301- Added prompt caching to `$.model.complete` for mods: `prompt` and `system` take blocks of text, and `cache: true` on a block caches the request up to it
302- Added workflow agents to the `agent.spawn` mod hook, with their run and index, so a mod can refuse them
303- Fixed subagent definitions with `permissionMode: auto` entering auto mode when auto mode is unavailable (disabled by settings, circuit breaker, or a model that doesn't support it)
304- Fixed sandboxed commands being able to read the staged file copies of `/ultrareview` uploads under `~/.claude/seed-admin`
305- Fixed a managed sandbox read-deny path (and user ones beside it) that appears or re-points mid-session not dropping project grants inside it or ending credential injection from files it covers
306- Fixed a notebook or PDF read on macOS and Windows being able to return a file outside what was approved, through a link swapped in mid-read
307- Fixed a tampered on-disk cache of server-managed settings being able to switch off or unseat the built-in policy plugin while the settings fetch failed
308- Fixed `rm -rf` on the 8.3 short name or another alternate Windows spelling of the home folder or a drive not being treated as removing it
309- Security: Fixed PreToolUse hook approvals and auto mode bypassing the permission prompt for file reads from network (UNC) paths
310- Fixed a skill's or slash command's `allowed-tools` rule coming back in a later turn when you leave auto mode or plan mode partway through that turn
311- Fixed `NO_PROXY` being ignored for Claude Code's own API requests (sign-in, policy, feedback, artifacts) when `HTTPS_PROXY` is set
312- Fixed an MCP tool with a name longer than 128 characters making every request fail; that tool is now left out and an MCP error names it
313- Fixed `claude plugin` commands such as `marketplace add` and `install` running before an organization's managed settings had loaded on a first run
314- Fixed one-shot `claude -p` and Agent SDK runs stopping a background command 5 seconds after the final result, and one-shot `claude -p` runs dropping a scheduled wakeup; both are now waited for
315- Fixed plan mode not being restored when resuming a session from the `claude --resume` session picker or with `/resume`
316- Fixed saved scheduled tasks created after `/resume`, `/branch` or `/clear` never firing, and saved tasks ignoring later creates and deletes after two writes to the tasks file milliseconds apart
317- Fixed a background session's `/loop` silently stopping when the session's process restarted (for example after a crash), because its pending wakeup was lost
318- Fixed Grep and Glob reporting no matches when the file or folder they were given could not be read; Claude now retries once or tells you
319- Fixed the Read tool returning only the first entry, with no error, when a PDF's `pages` was a list such as "6,9,15"; it now returns an error saying to read each page or range separately
320- Fixed @-mentioned text files over 256KB being left out silently: Claude is now told the file's size and to read it in portions
321- Fixed the usage limit alert repeating once per background agent when agents failed on a limit that had already stopped the main conversation
322- Fixed Remote Control viewers seeing an empty subagent pane for background subagents in sessions hosted by the desktop app or an IDE
323- Fixed cross-session delivery notices showing two sessions with similar names as one recipient, and the expiry notice blaming the desktop app when a terminal session let the message lapse
324- Fixed Send now in the desktop app ending the subagent a turn was waiting on when another message was already queued
325- Fixed `/bug`, `/share` and `/feedback <text>` starting over after Ctrl+O or Ctrl+Z while a report was being sent, and closing as cancelled after it had been sent
326- Fixed `/remote-env` replacing your saved default environment when you pressed Enter right away: the list now opens on your default, and no row has a check mark when no default is in effect
327- Fixed some pasted text reaching Claude as typed text when several pastes overlapped in one prompt
328- Fixed vim mode leaving the cursor past the end of a line, j/k losing their column on shorter lines, and `f`/`t`/`F`/`T`/`;`/`,` jumping to, or deleting up to, a match on another line of the prompt
329- Fixed `/add-dir` path box letting Shift+Enter or a paste add a line break, and treating fast-typed "tab", "up" or "down" as those keys
330- Fixed fast typing, input-method text and decomposed accents being dropped while a prompt footer row was selected, and `!` leaving the row selected
331- Fixed fullscreen mode sending a full-screen clear on every window resize and Ctrl+L when iTerm2 is detected, which may be what filled iTerm2's scrollback with stale pages
332- Fixed a spurious "could not be examined" note for @-words that name no file when a Read deny rule is set and the working directory is under a symlink
333- Fixed "instruction file not loaded" lines going stale or missing after `/cd` or a permission change, and added a transcript line when a nested one isn't loaded
334- Fixed a compaction summary that repeated `/name` letting Claude invoke a skill that is reserved for the user
335- Fixed Write, Edit, NotebookEdit and LSP rows, and single Read, Grep and Glob rows, hiding why a mod denied the call: the row now shows the reason
336- Fixed a cloud session showing a turn that never ended when its worker was stopped just as the turn finished
337- Fixed cloud sessions with a large transcript sometimes asking for a permission again after it was approved
338- Fixed scheduled tasks and other queued notifications being lost in cloud sessions when a message was retried or edited while Claude was reading them
339- Fixed cloud sessions forgetting the thinking setting chosen in the client when the session's container restarted
340- Fixed Cowork cloud sessions saying a proxy blocked artifacts when Anthropic couldn't confirm the organization's settings
341- Fixed plugins whose hooks module makes many `$.state` calls through one const taking minutes to load or validate
342- Fixed `claude plugin validate` listing a matcher or state value for a hooks module that the engine reads from elsewhere
343- Fixed `claude plugin validate` listing a `$.state` value read through a top-level `var` that was declared again or reassigned; such a module is now refused
344- Fixed a plugin's served `$` method restarting the hook origin, which could run a guard hook with a `.catch` above it again without end
345- Fixed plugin interface calls made while the plugin hooks worker restarts running without the hooks other plugins put on them
346- Fixed a mod's `config.set`, `state.set`, `env.set` or `agent.spawn` hook that denies after calling `next(e)` being answered as a refusal: the hook is now reported as failed, by name
347- Fixed `/theme`, the `/config` Theme menu and the first-run theme step saving a theme before a plugin's `config.set` hook was asked
348- Fixed a plugin's `tool.check` hook answering allow running a tool that requires your answer (a question, a plan approval) without showing its dialog
349- Fixed a mod's start-up prompt, command or subagent being queued a second time when the hooks worker was replaced
350- Fixed a mod's hook that called `next(e)` and then failed while the turn was interrupted letting the call through; the call is now rejected
351- Fixed a plugin's prompt drop or setting deny being ignored when its reason was longer than 4,096 characters
352- Fixed an organization's plugin being unloaded on its own reload, or after another plugin crashed, when it returned a `$` name that a user-installed mod had added; the mod is now unloaded instead
353- Fixed tool calls made while the plugin hooks worker restarts being answered without the plugins' permission hooks
354- Fixed plugin `tool.call` hooks seeing some tool calls before misnamed parameters were repaired; a hook now sees the arguments the tool will run with
355- Fixed a mod's guard hook with a `.catch` being skipped silently for calls another mod's hook makes beneath the guard's own `$` call; its `.catch` is now asked
356- Improved startup of `claude -p` and SDK sessions: the first turn no longer waits for HTTP and SSE MCP servers to answer `resources/list`
357- Improved rendering speed of long bulleted or numbered replies: they stream, resize and re-open in the transcript (ctrl+o) much faster
358- Improved Ctrl+C draft recovery: a cleared prompt now stays reachable with Up after a slash command or a sent message
359- Improved hook output handling: `<system-reminder>` tags written in a hook's output are escaped before they reach Claude
360- Improved tool input handling: Grep accepts `file_path` for `path`, and Write, WebFetch and Read ignore a few stray parameters instead of failing the call
361- Improved the steps shown when a marketplace declared in a settings file has a name that looks like an official Anthropic marketplace
362- Improved sandbox auto-allow: with strict sandbox mode set in user, managed or --settings settings, an interpreter command with an env var prefix like `FOO=bar python3 app.py` runs unprompted
363- Improved the Artifact tool's listing: Claude now sees how many published artifacts you have and can list up to 200 at once instead of 50
364- Improved cloud sessions after a restart: Claude is now told which stopped background agents it can resume by id
365- Improved the Claude in Chrome message in claude.ai cloud sessions when the browser can't be reached: Claude is now told it may continue with alternatives if the user prefers
366- Improved the /focus tip: it now invites you to try focus view mid-turn and shows how to switch back
367- Improved startup with local (stdio) MCP servers that ignore the newer protocol check: after one slow connect they are remembered for 7 days and connected the older way without the wait
368- Changed local (stdio) MCP server connections to negotiate protocol version 2026-07-28 by default on every install, including Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry; `MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION=legacy` opts out
369- Changed `claude plugin test`: a failed `expect` inside a hook the test registered, or a stub answer the engine refuses, now fails the test instead of passing silently
370- Changed usage limit messages to write claude.ai settings links with https:// so terminals and apps can make them clickable
371- Changed scheduled and Run now routine runs to publish a new artifact only you can see without asking for approval; artifacts that request connectors or other access still ask
372- Changed agent names to allow at most 256 characters: a longer one is rejected, and a skill's or a plugin file's `name` longer than that is ignored
373- [Cloud sessions] Fixed routine runs occasionally staying listed as running for hours after they had finished
374- [Cloud sessions] Fixed editing or duplicating a routine turning off its push notifications when the routine had no saved notification setting
375- [Cloud sessions] Fixed SVG, HEIC, TIFF and other less common image files failing to attach; they now attach as regular files
376- [Cloud sessions] Fixed approval prompts offering "Always allow" for connector tools that an organization set to require approval; the choice had no effect
377- [Remote Control] Fixed the first message of a new Remote Control session started from claude.ai/code accepting only images; it now accepts PDFs and other files like later messages
378- [Claude Tag] Added an Edit button to the Allowed domains card on a channel's Configure page, so Enterprise admins can open the access bundle that sets the channel's domains
379- [Claude Tag] Fixed replies sent in a Slack thread while Claude was still on its first request there being held until that request finished, or missed when sent seconds apart
380- [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack threads woken only by GitHub pull request activity or a routine staying on their original model after an admin changed the channel or workspace default model
381- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude sometimes posting a spend limit notice in Slack when the real cause was that your organization had run out of usage credits
382- [Claude Tag] Fixed a session hanging until interrupted when a permission prompt that can't be answered from Slack was denied automatically
383- [Claude Tag] Improved `@Claude !status` in a channel to say when Claude has stopped reading its untagged messages, why, and that an @-mention starts it reading again
384- [Claude Tag] Changed the first message of a Slack thread continued with `!fork` to a card showing where it came from, the request, and who asked, with a link to the original thread
385- [Claude Tag] Changed the organization-wide and default spend limit boxes on Claude Tag's spend limits page in admin settings to save only when you press Save or Enter, not when you click away
386- [Code Review] Added the period's total with its change from the previous period, and a breakdown by repository, to the PRs reviewed chart in Code Review analytics
387- [Code Review] Fixed a queued review failing when the pull request moved to a new base branch and the old one was deleted; the commit is now re-queued for review
388- [Code Review] Fixed reviews ignoring a CLAUDE.md's rules when the pull request edits that file; reviews now use its version from the base branch
389
390## 2.1.291
391
392- Fixed a regression in 2.1.290 where cloud sessions could drop answers to permission prompts
393- Fixed a regression in 2.1.288 where the last messages of a session could be lost when quitting
394
395## 2.1.290
396
397- Added `serverToolUses` to the result of a mod's `turn.step` hook: the tool calls the API ran itself (the advisor), each with its id, name, input, start and end
398- Added `agentId` to the `tool.check` event of plugin hooks, so a hook can tell a subagent's permission check from the main session's
399- Added `ceiling` to the question and verdict a mod's `tool.check` hook reads, naming the approval an organization requires for a tool
400- Added `ThemeKey` and `Color` types to the plugin hooks typings, so an editor lists the theme colors a mod's drawing can name
401- Added to `claude plugin validate`: each hook a mod registers at a gating site is listed with whether it has a `.catch` (`gatingHooks` under `--json`)
402- Added a Deny button to the Claude apps gateway's sign-in approval page: it ends the pending sign-in, so the waiting terminal stops within seconds
403- Added `claude attach <name>` and `claude logs <name>`: part of a session name works in place of the id
404- Added `/claude-api managed-agents-onboard <url>` to set up the Managed Agents pattern a page describes as `ant apply` files
405- Added `/claude-api managed-agents-onboard <quickstart-name>` to build a Console quickstart template, such as `deep-researcher`, with the `ant` CLI
406- Added a warning when a managed settings file is a link to a file outside the managed settings folder
407- Added a /status and doctor warning when managed settings ignore user-configured sandbox allowRead paths or allowed domains
408- Fixed requests failing behind proxies and gateways that reject one of Claude Code's beta headers with a status other than 400, or together with a second beta
409- Fixed long sessions with hundreds of images getting stuck on "Request rejected as unprocessable by the model" errors
410- Fixed a turn ending at once when the API's output content filter stopped a reply while Claude was still thinking; the request is now retried once before the error is shown
411- Fixed resumed subagents and teammates losing their earlier thinking and prompt cache after receiving a message mid-run
412- Fixed WebFetch silently dropping page text past 100,000 characters; it now says how much was unread and takes an `offset` to read on
413- Fixed a crash ("Maximum call stack size exceeded") when a response nested lists or quotes thousands of levels deep
414- Fixed `/rewind` not listing a prompt sent while Claude was still working
415- Fixed scheduled tasks (`/loop` with an interval, reminders) silently not coming back on resume once the conversation was compacted; covers compactions made from this version on
416- Fixed scheduled tasks set in the foreground never firing after a ← or `/background` hand-off, and recurring ones firing an extra run on every resume, respawn or fork
417- Fixed headless `--json-schema` runs exiting non-zero with `is_error: true` on a `success` result when the connection dropped after the structured output was already delivered
418- Fixed plan mode letting the auto mode classifier approve non-read-only connector tools that carry a server-pushed ask policy
419- Fixed a project `CLAUDE.md`, rule or `AGENTS.md` symlinked outside the working directories loading under `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` or a `Read` deny rule
420- Fixed URL allow and deny patterns with a wildcard inside an `xn--` host label matching differently from one process to the next
421- Fixed an MCP server provided by your organization being relisted as your own after signing in or reconnecting, including from a late result in headless and SDK sessions
422- Fixed `/ultrareview` dropping uncommitted changes without a warning on Windows when `git stash create` failed, and refusing them after a `git add -N` file was deleted or moved
423- Fixed the `plansDirectory` setting's project-root check for paths that contain a backslash on macOS and Linux
424- Fixed replies in very long Remote Control and cloud sessions that could appear a block at a time instead of streaming in
425- Fixed the background daemon's log passing terminal control characters to the screen under `claude daemon run` and `claude daemon logs`; they now show as `\uXXXX` escapes
426- Self-hosted runner: Fixed a crafted, very long line of a session's error output freezing the runner for several seconds
427- Fixed a plugin hook with a `.catch` being unloaded, and its `.catch` skipped, when the hook kept the hooks worker busy on a prompt or tool call
428- Fixed a mod's `turn.step` result listing a tool call that a mid-response model fallback had discarded
429- Fixed a Cowork cloud session's reply sometimes never finishing when its container restarted just after Claude sent a message or a file
430- Fixed `claude plugin validate` and plugin loading refusing a hooks module that destructures an option named like one of its top-level functions
431- Fixed `/ultrareview` failing to upload uncommitted changes when `core.safecrlf=true` is set in git's configuration
432- Fixed the effort level changing when a flagged message is retried on a fallback model that has a different level saved in settings
433- Windows: Fixed multi-line `!` shell blocks in skills and commands failing when the file is saved with CRLF line endings
434- Fixed Claude Code hanging until killed when a `/permissions` tab was clicked while searching in fullscreen mode
435- Fixed conversation compaction sometimes failing with a "null is not an object" error
436- Fixed plugin hooks reading an empty `answer` on `turn.complete` for a subagent that hands its report back in auto mode
437- Fixed a mod being unloaded without a message when a refresh followed its failed reload; its failure line now says the version loaded before is unloaded
438- Fixed a mod's `prompt.submit` hook that drops a prompt after calling `next(e)` being ignored silently: the hook is now reported as failed, by name
439- Fixed a mod's pane or band being redrawn without end when it followed its end over a tree that changed height at every drawing
440- Fixed an image read on macOS and Windows being able to return a file outside what was approved, through a link swapped in mid-read
441- Fixed a case where a user-installed mod could get an organization's plugin unloaded; the mod is now the one unloaded
442- Fixed `disableClaudeAiConnectors` and `allowedMcpServers` URL rules not being applied to some MCP entries declared in `.mcp.json`, plugins or agents
443- Fixed a mod's inline pane being redrawn without end when its tree changed height at every drawing
444- Fixed an `@`-mention under the read block or `--restricted` being able to read a file outside the working directories through a link changed mid-read
445- Fixed Esc in the agents view confirming "Press enter again to restart this session — it isn't responding"; Esc now just reopens the session
446- Fixed agent view losing a background session's `/loop` run count, countdown and live status line after the session enters a worktree that it creates
447- Fixed `claude agents` sessions in manual permission mode asking for approval to read an image pasted into a reply or a new agent's prompt
448- Fixed a deny or ask rule missing a command or path whose name came from a variable set as a prefix on `declare`, `typeset`, `export` or `readonly`
449- Fixed Read deny rules not applying to image paths pasted or dragged into the prompt, or to file names listed for an @-mentioned folder
450- Fixed a case where a user-installed mod could make an organization's guard skip its check; such a mod is now unloaded
451- Fixed plugin hooks stalling each redraw when a mod draws a long multi-line text holding non-Latin characters
452- Fixed repeated Ctrl+X in the agents view deleting the whole next section after the bottom session of a section was deleted
453- Fixed You should know writing its notes in English regardless of the `language` setting
454- Fixed a freeze after sending some very long messages
455- Fixed a slowdown when expanding the transcript (ctrl+o) or resizing over large tool output that contains non-ASCII characters such as arrows, dashes or box-drawing
456- Fixed `claude respawn` re-sending an earlier message to a backgrounded session that has no saved transcript instead of starting it with an empty conversation
457- Fixed Esc after an `n:` or Ctrl+F search in the agents view moving focus to a section header, where Ctrl+X twice would delete every session in the section
458- Fixed `claude agents` saving a slash command it could not deliver to a stopped session and then running it by itself the next time that session restarted
459- Fixed `/ultrareview` uploading uncommitted changes unfiltered for files under a git filter driver named `unset` or `unspecified`; the upload now stops and asks you to rename the driver
460- Fixed auto mode denials suggesting a permission rule that would skip the classifier for a whole tool or that Claude Code would ignore
461- Fixed `claude --teleport` and `/teleport` deleting the files in a folder that had replaced a tracked file of the same name when you chose to stash: the stash is now refused, and says why
462- Fixed Esc confirming agent view's "Press enter again to restart this session fresh" prompt
463- Fixed agent view's `/loop` run count freezing and its countdown disappearing after `/clear`; the count now restarts with the new conversation
464- Fixed `--channels` permission relay: a reply ID that repeats within a session is now ignored instead of approving a different prompt
465- Fixed `/chrome` "Reconnect extension" not restoring browser tools after a failed Chrome connection, and added an explanation when it can't (anthropics/claude-code#98135)
466- Fixed mods staying off for people who reach Claude through a gateway (`ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` with `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`) and have no Anthropic account
467- Fixed replies sent from `claude agents` just after a background session crashed being refused after 2 seconds: they are now retried for up to 12 seconds while the session restarts
468- Fixed slash commands and answers to a multiple-choice question that `claude agents` could not deliver to a running session being saved and sent by themselves the next time it was restarted
469- Fixed sandboxed commands that pipe a heredoc into another command (`cat <<EOF | python3`) asking for approval on every run
470- Fixed `claude agents` failing with "Couldn't restart the background service" and background sessions stopping after a Homebrew upgrade (takes effect from the upgrade after this one)
471- Fixed agent view's "restart this session fresh" re-sending an earlier message from the session instead of starting with an empty conversation
472- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving some read-only commands (such as `rg` or `git grep`) whose arguments the shell would still expand as wildcards; these now prompt for approval
473- Fixed `claude plugin test` refusing to run after an upgrade because of an out-of-date saved setting
474- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving certain commands whose variable names zsh reads differently from bash; these now prompt for approval
475- Fixed a short form of a `git clone` option keeping the sandbox exemption from a git pattern such as `git *` in `sandbox.excludedCommands`; it is now treated like the long form
476- Fixed the first feature-flag request of a session ignoring a proxy or API endpoint set in a project's settings
477- Fixed `/ultrareview` of a local branch silently leaving uncommitted work out of the upload in a repository that keeps its branches outside `.git` (git 2.54+); it now refuses with an explanation
478- Fixed cloud sessions staying asleep after a container restart lost a pending `/loop` wakeup or scheduled task; Claude is now told and can schedule it again
479- Fixed the Claude apps gateway's retention sweep deleting a returning developer's identity row refreshed at the same moment, on PostgreSQL versions without the November 2025 fixes
480- Fixed sandboxed Monitor tool commands skipping the permission prompt under sandbox auto-allow; they now follow your permission rules
481- Fixed the Claude apps gateway failing to start when the certificate it presents to the identity provider has an empty subject
482- Fixed the Claude apps gateway exiting with a bare "Invalid URL" when `store.postgres_url` can't be parsed; the error now names the setting and says what the URL may hold
483- Fixed background agents failing with "Agent stalled" and Workflow tool subagents restarting from their prompt when a Mac woke from sleep
484- Fixed slow or failed startup since 2.1.285 under SDK hosts such as the VS Code extension when managed settings deny reads of many paths on a slow filesystem (notably Windows drives under WSL)
485- Fixed a response interrupted by computer sleep being treated as a stalled stream on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and custom gateways
486- Fixed a freeze before the first request and in the `/sandbox` Config tab on Linux and WSL when a sandbox read rule such as `~/**/.env` covers a large folder
487- Fixed skills not being found when asked for by the name in SKILL.md when their folder has a different name (for example a non-English name): the skill listing now shows both names
488- Fixed a plan written in plan mode being lost when a cloud session's container restarted before the plan was presented
489- Fixed the Bash tool occasionally losing shell aliases, functions and plugin PATH entries for a whole session when its first command ran seconds after startup on a new config directory
490- Fixed unbounded memory use when an HTTP MCP server sends a very large response
491- Fixed artifact operations failing in a Claude Code run started from inside a cloud session (for example `claude -p` run from the Bash tool)
492- Fixed files sent from remote sessions sometimes being refused as "not the one approved" when four or more were sent at once
493- Fixed plan mode not being restored when resuming a session with `--continue` or `--resume <session-id>` in the terminal
494- Fixed a marketplace named after another GitHub marketplace's download folder stopping that marketplace from downloading
495- Fixed automatic compaction giving up with "Prompt is too long" when a Mac went to sleep while it was running
496- Fixed the rewind menu (Esc Esc / `/rewind`) freezing for hundreds of milliseconds per keypress when the conversation contains a very large pasted stack trace or source file
497- Fixed a subdirectory's AGENTS.md not being attached when a file under it is @-mentioned
498- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions resumed after a stopped runner failing with "missing but already registered worktree" when the sessions folder is a relative symlink
499- Fixed a freeze when the secret scan or a permission prompt met long token-like text
500- Fixed Bash permission checks not applying Read deny rules or the outside-directory read block to a wildcard in some option values of read-only commands
501- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_USER_DIALOG_TIMEOUT_MS=5m` being read as 5 ms and cancelling remote dialogs at once; values with a unit suffix now fall back to `dialogExpiry`
502- Fixed a stall when an MCP server's tool listing contains very long runs of combining characters
503- Fixed two pastes that overlap in one prompt being sent to the model partly as typed text instead of as one pasted block
504- Fixed Claude in Chrome's browser picker showing a message meant for Claude when the chosen browser is no longer connected, and the VS Code dialog's list going stale after a switch
505- Fixed background subagents losing write and Bash access in their worktree after the main session enters or exits a different worktree
506- Fixed background commands, the agents view and daemon workers sending telemetry and a feature-flag request to Anthropic behind a Claude apps gateway when no managed settings on the machine force gateway login
507- Fixed `--restricted` (and `CLAUDE_CODE_RESTRICTED=1`) sessions opening the cross-session messaging socket
508- Fixed sessions moved to the background while idle reopening as "no saved transcript" after a restart or idle cleanup; they now resume their conversation
509- Fixed background workers honoring `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` on respawn without the bypass-permissions disclaimer having been accepted
510- Fixed Claude replying in an endless loop when a plugin's async Stop hook passes an unquoted script path under a folder with a space, such as Application Support
511- Fixed a freeze of several seconds when secret masking met very long unbroken text
512- Fixed some permission rules and safety checks not being applied to a tool call after a PreToolUse hook rewrote its input
513- Fixed first launch asking to pick a login method again after `claude auth login` or with a credentials file already in the config directory
514- Fixed file names containing line breaks being displayed incorrectly in file tool errors and permission prompts
515- Fixed a large paste expanded in place being sent to the model as typed text after the next keystroke when it held accents stored as separate characters, as macOS file names do
516- Fixed macOS `/login` reporting success when the keychain refused the new login and kept an old one it could not remove
517- Fixed SDK hosts using `--include-partial-messages` seeing a reply stay open after the turn ended when its stream was cut, interrupted or fell back to non-streaming
518- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands on Linux running `ConfigChange` hooks and reloading settings mid-command when `.claude/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.local.json` does not exist
519- Fixed errors reading "Premature close" instead of naming the missing program when a tool Claude Code runs, such as git or gh, is not installed (macOS, Linux)
520- Fixed `/loop` and other recurring session-only scheduled tasks running an extra time after a sandboxed Bash command on Linux or after `.claude/scheduled_tasks.json` was deleted
521- Fixed edits to the file a symlinked settings file points at running without the settings-file permission question
522- Improved MCP startup behind a network proxy: a server the proxy blocks (HTTP 403) is no longer retried three times
523- Improved permission prompts from background agents to show the Ctrl+X Ctrl+K shortcut that stops all background agents
524- Improved the built-in `plugin-authoring` skill: Claude now gives the one command another person runs to install a mod you made, and writes it in a README's install section
525- Improved the reply to `/plugin` in the desktop app's Code tab: it now says where to install and manage plugins there
526- Improved the Bash changed-files view: when a chained command includes git merge, pull or checkout, it lists the files without full diffs
527- Improved the Claude apps gateway's log when an upstream's cloud credentials or connection fail: the warning now ends with the underlying cause
528- Improved the error shown when a cloud session is started without a claude.ai sign-in: it now names `claude auth login` and /login and no longer blames API-key authentication
529- Improved the Read tool's message for binary files: it now points Claude to a skill or a shell command that can read the format
530- Improved the error shown when a git config file stops the `/ultrareview` upload: it is about half as long and says what kind of file is the problem
531- Improved the errors shown when the `/ultrareview` upload refuses a checkout: each known cause now has its own message, with a way to fix it
532- Improved the Claude apps gateway to log a warning during the last 30 days before the certificate it presents to the identity provider expires
533- Improved Claude in Chrome: a `browser_batch` call now gets 90 seconds, up from 60, before it is reported as timed out
534- Improved the Claude apps gateway's browser sign-in pages: brand fonts, centered layout, and dark mode
535- Improved responsiveness while resuming large sessions: timers, input and rendering keep running while the transcript loads
536- Improved the / and @ suggestion lists: the selected row now starts with a ❯ pointer, so you can see it without color
537- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC` to also skip the startup connection warm-up
538- Changed Claude in Chrome so that a project's settings files can no longer turn it on; use `--chrome`, `/chrome` or your user settings
539- Changed the Bash tool to ask for permission before running `pyright`, which is no longer treated as a read-only command
540- Changed what a mod's `$.process.spawn` rejects with when another mod denies it after the child ran: it now says the call ran and a plugin withheld its result
541- Changed the background daemon's log to write a multi-line message as one JSON-quoted line
542- Changed skills and custom commands to refuse a `!` shell command that contains raw control characters other than tab and newline, with a message that shows where they are
543- Changed `/artifacts`: opening an artifact in your browser now closes the list
544- Changed Bash permission checks so that more forms of the `ps` command ask for approval instead of running without asking
545- Changed plugin hooks so long text is clipped and logged instead of being refused or dropped silently
546- Changed background sessions whose scheduled task is gone: they now move to Completed about 20 seconds later and can be updated or shut down when idle
547- Changed the "Press ← again" confirm on a just-cleared prompt: a second ← no longer has to wait a second before it switches, and holding ← down now switches too
548- Changed the errors shown when the `/ultrareview` upload fails at a git step: they name the step and what to try, and no longer repeat git's own error text
549- Changed `/code-review` at medium effort to also report cleanup and CLAUDE.md conventions findings on models without tuned review settings, including Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5
550- Changed an in-process teammate's `agent_id` in Agent results to its agent ID (its `name@team` address stays in `teammate_id`); TeammateIdle hooks no longer fire from its subagents or forks
551- Changed background sessions waiting on a scheduled wakeup (`/loop`): they are now left running through updates and low memory, where being restarted or shut down could silently lose the wakeup
552- Changed `/model`, `/effort` and `/rename` sent from `claude agents` to a busy background session to apply right away, without a confirmation, instead of when the turn ends
553- Changed the Claude apps gateway's minimum supported PostgreSQL version from 14 to 11
554- Changed the interactive session's WebSearch budget to refill over time (100 calls/hour; `CLAUDE_CODE_WEB_SEARCH_REFILLS_PER_HOUR` sets the rate, 0 turns it off) instead of ending after 200 calls
555- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ATTACHMENTS` so a repository's `.claude/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.local.json` can no longer set it; shell, user and managed settings still can
556- Changed `claude plugin update` on a plugin loaded from a directory to print just its reason, without the "Failed to update plugin" prefix, as for built-in plugins
557- Changed the built-in `gh api` in cloud sessions: a host other than github.com set in `GH_HOST` or `GH_REPO` is now refused (use `--hostname` or a full URL), and stderr notes requests to other hosts
558- Changed the `claude-api` skill's Managed Agents examples to turn off the web tools unless the agent needs them and to use the `auto` permission policy
559- Self-hosted runners: Changed `claude --environment <id>` to create its session through the current Sessions API; printed and JSON session ids keep their session_… form
560- [VSCode] Added a screen reader announcement, "Message queued.", when you send a message while Claude is working
561- [VSCode] Added a way to review and run a plugin marketplace's install or update command from the Manage plugins dialog
562- [VSCode] Fixed a blank chat you never typed into keeping a background Claude process running after you open a saved conversation in its place
563- [VSCode] Fixed settings dialogs blaming a timeout when Claude Code stopped unexpectedly during a save
564- [VSCode] Fixed the branch switch dialog offering to switch when it could not check for uncommitted changes
565- [VSCode] Fixed a permission prompt that arrived behind an open dialog taking keyboard focus, so a key pressed in the dialog could answer it
566- [VSCode] Fixed sign-in and new sessions giving no clear reason when Claude Code cannot find or start its program
567- [VSCode] Fixed the agent map showing a nested sub-agent with "Tool calls (0)" and placing the agents it starts under the main agent
568- [VSCode] Improved Continue After Reload: tabs reopened after VS Code restarts its extensions now also finish a step the restart interrupted
569- [VSCode] Improved file pills in messages: hovering one now shows the file's path from the project folder, so same-named files can be told apart
570- [VSCode] Changed message timestamps to show by default (turn them off with the Claude Code: Show Message Timestamps setting)
571- [Cloud sessions] Fixed turning off prompt suggestions through a cloud environment's environment variables having no effect in new cloud sessions
572- [Cloud sessions] Fixed the working indicator in a cloud session spinning on for several seconds after Claude's reply had finished; it now stops with the reply
573- [Cloud sessions] Fixed History on a never-run routine's page still saying "No runs yet" after you pressed Run now; it now shows the new run
574- [Cloud sessions] Fixed an unarchived cloud session looking as if Claude were still working until you sent another message
575- [Remote Control] Fixed a computer that just started Remote Control taking up to a minute to appear in the Remote Control menu of a new session; it now appears within seconds
576- [Claude Tag] Added fast mode in Slack: mention Claude with `!fast` to switch a thread to fast mode, moving it to Opus if needed, and `!fast off` to switch back; replies show (fast) while it's on
577- [Claude Tag] Added the optional Path prefixes field when creating a custom connection in an access bundle, so its allow rule can cover only those paths instead of the whole host
578- [Claude Tag] Fixed members with the Claude Tag Admin permission getting "Couldn't load memory files" on the Activity page's Memory tab; they can now read workspace and channel memory
579- [Claude Tag] Fixed a workspace guest's Confirm on a Claude settings card in Slack removing its buttons for everyone; only the guest sees the refusal, and members can still confirm or cancel
580- [Claude Tag] Fixed scheduled routines in Slack channels running on a model other than the channel's default; each run that starts a new session now uses the current default model
581- [Claude Tag] Fixed GitHub repositories in an access bundle attached by a channel-name rule being refused in the channels the rule covers; Claude can now add, list and clone them there
582- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude's notice in your direct messages when your own Claude plan's usage limit is reached: it shows within seconds and says when the limit resets
583- [Claude Tag] Improved the earlier Claude in Slack app's reply when it can't start a session: it now says what failed and who can fix it, in full only once per thread
584- [Claude Tag] Changed the channel instructions limit to 8,192 characters instead of bytes, so non-English text gets the same room, and added a character count beside Save on the Configure page
585- [Code Review] Fixed blocking review comments sometimes opening with a "nit" label that contradicted their severity
586- [Code Review] Fixed tips to comment "@claude review" being posted on fork and Manual-mode pull requests in organizations that have turned Code Review off
587
588## 2.1.289
589
590- Fixed a deny or ask rule on a nested part of a compound shell command not holding over a user-installed mod's approval on managed machines
591- Fixed the terminal freezing on short code blocks with many unclosed `<script>` tags or deeply nested `${` substitutions
592- Fixed `Read` deny rules not applying to files @-mentioned, changed, or selected in the IDE through a symlink
593- [VSCode] Reverted a 2.1.288 change to `claude auth status` that may have made sign-outs more frequent
594- Improved how quickly large files open in a plugin code pane by laying the highlighted view out once at its final width
595- Fixed `plugin list`, `plugin eval` and `plugin update` showing a stale copy of a plugin installed from a local folder marketplace, and hot reload for a symlinked `--plugin-dir`
596- Fixed installed mods not loading in the first session after an upgrade
597- Fixed a plugin's rows above the prompt showing a stale row while the Background tasks dialog was open in fullscreen
598- Fixed plugin panes drawing nothing when a link used a localhost address, an `@` in its path, an uppercase host or a `file:` path
599- Fixed a user-installed plugin being able to rewrite the descriptions of an organization-managed MCP server's sign-in tools
600- Fixed a freeze or forced quit at launch when a plugin drew a Box with a border style the terminal does not know
601- Fixed supervised and background sessions ending when a plugin's on-screen handler threw asynchronously
602- Fixed sessions ending with an interface error when a plugin region with no height kept growing
603- Fixed Bash deny and ask rules missing a command behind an environment variable prefix with an expanded value (e.g. `TZ="$HOME" rm -rf build`) when the sandbox auto-allows commands
604- Fixed a Bash deny or ask rule being skipped under sandbox auto-allow when a bare variable assignment came before the command
605- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping the plugin when the folder also holds a marketplace manifest
606- Added `agent.spawn` for teammates, one agent id across plugin hook events, and idle and waiting states in `$.agent.list()`
607- Fixed sessions ending with "unrecoverable interface error" when a value a mod's `ui.render` hook wrote made a row throw while drawn; the engine now draws its own row instead
608- Fixed text with a tab, a stray escape and a C1 control, or a short text with a tab and CRLF line endings, drawing over the rows below it
609- Fixed right-aligned content in a mod's pane or band drawing under the close mark or `[-]`, which now also keep one column in from the terminal's edge
610- Fixed a mod's `Client` that fails while drawn taking down everything the mod drew around it; it now fails alone and raises `ui.fault`
611- Fixed `claude plugin validate` failing an Anthropic marketplace's own plugin and listing a clean `plugin.json` in `--json`
612- Fixed a mod's band that fails to draw briefly telling the cards under it to step aside
613- Fixed a failed plugin component showing `Error` or nothing as its reason when the failure carried no message
614- Improved the line a mod's author sees when its band or pane fails to draw: it names the mod and says nothing was drawn
615- Fixed published artifact pages freezing or crashing the reader's browser tab on short code blocks with many unclosed `<script>` tags
616- Fixed a mod's Client region staying failed for the whole session after the terminal threw while drawing it
617
618## 2.1.288
619
620- Added `$.ui.selection()` for mods: returns the text you last selected in fullscreen mode and, when the selection lies within one transcript row, that row
621- Added a built-in `gh api` to cloud sessions whose image has no GitHub CLI, and fixed the built-in sending control characters from file names, jq filters or GitHub errors to the terminal
622- Added recovery for a prompt cleared with Ctrl+C: pressing Up on the empty prompt brings the draft back, including pasted text and images
623- Added a re-authenticate prompt when an MCP server asks for more OAuth scope during a tool call
624- Added `--max-findings <n>|all` to /code-review to report more or fewer findings than the usual limit; the choice is reused until you pass `--max-findings default`
625- Added Ctrl+F to find a session by name and Alt+↑/↓ to jump between groups in the agents view; both, and rename, can be rebound in keybindings.json
626- Added a screen reader mode announcement of the new permission mode when you approve a plan, including with Shift+Tab
627- Fixed mid-response API timeouts failing the turn: non-interactive sessions and subagents now continue from the partial response, and thinking-only responses are retried
628- Fixed long conversations failing with "Prompt is too long" instead of auto-compacting when the last reply reported zero token usage
629- Fixed `--resume` sometimes dropping files and other context that a compaction had just restored
630- Fixed a resumed session sometimes not saving the last response of a turn, so that the next `--resume` showed the prompt unanswered
631- Fixed resume occasionally loading a transcript cut short when the same session rewrote the file during the load
632- Fixed resuming a conversation started on 2.1.286 or earlier dropping the model's earlier thinking
633- Fixed session titles, memory recall and prompt hooks failing on Mantle or behind gateways that reject structured outputs; added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_STRUCTURED_OUTPUTS` to turn structured outputs off
634- Fixed auto mode denials pointing Claude at a Bash permission rule when the blocked tool was not Bash
635- Fixed auto mode on Bedrock and Mantle switching to the local classifier for the rest of the session after a request to an older model, such as a WebFetch summary or a `sonnet` subagent
636- Fixed cloud sessions that restarted on a newly picked model replying with that model after the server refused it
637- Fixed Cowork cloud sessions staying marked as waiting for input after a WebFetch permission prompt for an unapproved URL went unanswered for five minutes
638- Fixed prompt suggestions not appearing on a phone that joins a Cowork cloud session started on another device
639- Fixed a mod's button sometimes running a different button's action when pressed on a view drawn before Claude Code restarted
640- Fixed a plugin's pane showing nothing when one `Code` element held a diff that does not parse; it now draws as plain code
641- Fixed plugin LSP servers receiving literal `${user_config.*}` and `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` placeholders in `initializationOptions` and `settings` instead of substituted values or manifest defaults
642- Fixed a plugin's `tool.call` hook making Bash fail and file searches read the wrong folder in subagents that run in a worktree
643- Fixed `git-subdir` plugin installs failing, or caching an incomplete plugin, on older git (before 2.39, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04's 2.34)
644- Fixed plugins loaded with `--plugin-dir` not showing "Configure options" in `/plugin`
645- Fixed background sessions ending when a plugin was reloaded or disabled while one of its timers or reads was still running
646- Fixed sandboxed heredocs with an unquoted delimiter (`python3 <<EOF`) asking for approval on every run under sandbox auto-allow when the body holds only plain text and simple `$VAR` references
647- Fixed Bash tool permission check to prompt before a `BASHPID` assignment whose value the shell would evaluate as arithmetic, instead of allowing it silently
648- Fixed fullscreen sessions exiting with "unrecoverable interface error" when opening the background tasks dialog while a plugin or mod showed rows above the prompt
649- Fixed Claude reporting a message to another session as delivered when that session held it: the notice now says it wasn't delivered and names the session, and in SDK sessions Claude can now learn of it mid-turn
650- Fixed OpenTelemetry `claude_code.tool.blocked_on_user` spans reporting `unknown` source or decision in `-p` and SDK sessions and for PreToolUse hook approvals
651- Fixed permission asks that ended unanswered, in `-p` or on an interrupted turn, emitting no `tool_decision` event
652- Fixed Edit and Retry in Cowork cloud sessions refusing a message sent before `/compact` even though its history was still saved
653- Fixed unattended sessions (`CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG`) retrying for hours after a very long response stream failed; Claude Code now streams again, and gives up after three timeouts
654- Fixed `/login` reporting "Login successful" when credentials could not be saved to secure storage; it now shows the failure, and offers a retry when the new login didn't take effect (anthropics/claude-code#73861)
655- Fixed a Stop during Bedrock credential lookup sometimes moving the session to a fallback model instead of ending the request
656- Fixed a second `gcpAuthRefresh`/`awsAuthRefresh` browser sign-in opening when a laptop wakes from sleep while another Claude Code process is signing in
657- Fixed agent teams: a plugin-defined agent spawned by name now runs with its own prompt, tools, disallowedTools and effort instead of the defaults
658- Fixed headless (`-p` / SDK) sessions occasionally ignoring SIGTERM when a supervisor such as `timeout` or systemd sends SIGCONT alongside it
659- Fixed restarted cloud sessions restoring a model that the organization's enforced model list refuses
660- Fixed MCP tool calls sometimes running twice when a remote server's result was over 16 MB or could not be parsed
661- Fixed subagents in Claude Desktop's Code tab getting none of the tools of a user-configured MCP server named `memory`
662- Fixed Claude in Chrome asking before every screenshot and page read on a site you allowed when auto mode is unavailable (such as with `disableAutoMode` or an older model); typing, navigation and JavaScript still ask
663- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for GitHub-source plugins on macOS and Linux machines with no GitHub SSH key: the clone now falls back to HTTPS and prints a notice
664- Fixed `sandbox.credentials.files` entries on git config files not taking effect while `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` is on
665- Fixed Claude leaving out your organization's design systems when starting slides or a design with the Artifact tool on Team and Enterprise plans or machines with managed settings
666- Fixed the keyboard not working on Windows after Claude Code restarts itself (first sign-in to a Claude apps gateway, provider setup, `/tui`)
667- Fixed a stall when launching an agent whose `tools:` lists very many `Agent(...)` entries
668- Fixed sessions on Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3 Sonnet failing on every turn after a whole PDF entered the conversation
669- Fixed the npm auto-updater reporting success when the platform-native binary failed to download and only the placeholder `claude` stub was installed
670- Fixed Remote Control cleanup archiving a session that is still connected or was just re-attached by another Claude Code process
671- Fixed `owner/repo` plugin marketplaces showing only the second attempt's error when both the SSH and HTTPS fetch fail; both errors are now shown, with the transport tried first on top
672- Fixed path-scoped `.claude/rules` and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading when Write or Edit creates or changes a file in their scope (previously only Read loaded them)
673- Fixed a dangerous `rm` (such as one on `/` or the home directory) inside a `bash -c` or `sh -c` script running without a prompt in bypassPermissions mode or under a shell allow rule (anthropics/claude-code#96300)
674- Fixed LSP tool calls hanging indefinitely when a language server uses dynamic capability registration or stops responding; requests now time out after 60s (per-server `requestTimeout`)
675- Fixed `idle_prompt` notification hooks firing while background agents are still running (anthropics/claude-code#93672)
676- Fixed PreToolUse and PermissionRequest hooks being skipped when matching them failed or the tool's input could not be serialized to JSON; the call is now blocked
677- Fixed the first request in a fresh environment or after a model switch using the built-in output limit and auto-compact window, not the server's; that request may now wait up to 1.5 seconds
678- Fixed the "What should Claude do instead?" hint showing on the Interrupted row after sending queued messages with ctrl+enter
679- Fixed `/login` in a `--bare` session running a sign-in the session never reads, which could replace your saved login; it now says which credentials work
680- Fixed the InstructionsLoaded hook omitting agent_id and agent_type when a subagent's file access loads a rule or nested CLAUDE.md; rules and nested CLAUDE.md files loaded on file access now also report effort
681- Fixed the Agent tool in `claude mcp serve` always reporting no available agents and rejecting every subagent_type
682- Fixed the terminal cursor not following the typed text in the fullscreen transcript viewer's search and in `/theme`'s custom color search
683- Fixed `/permissions` in screen reader mode: typing a rule's number now picks it instead of opening the search box
684- Improved auto mode: when a conversation grows too long for the client-side safety classifier to review, it is now compacted instead of prompting for, or failing, every tool call
685- Improved screen reader mode: short announcements, such as a deleted word, now stay on screen until your next key press or until something above them on screen changes
686- Improved screen reader mode: answered questions in question dialogs now say "answered" beside their box
687- Improved the `/usage-credits` message shown to Team and Enterprise members whose organization has turned off usage credit requests
688- Improved cloud sessions: a new conversation's first turn no longer waits for a stdio MCP server whose config sets `alwaysLoad: false`
689- Improved "You should know" notes to say "we", "the main agent" or "you" depending on who was responsible for a decision
690- Improved the error for an artifact database write refused at the database's size limit: it now states the limit and what frees space
691- Improved Bash permission prompts to give a shorter reason when part of a command can't be checked before it runs
692- Self-hosted runner: Improved the built-in `gh api`: a refused gh command now prints its `gh api` equivalent, `--paginate` follows every page of a repository's lists, and a nested `claude` no longer removes it
693- Improved Remote Control's recovery from an expired server credential: sessions stay connected during renewal and are kept if it gives up after a server outage
694- Changed the background command time limit to apply only in unattended sessions (`-p`, Agent SDK, CI, cloud); terminal, desktop app and VS Code sessions have no limit
695- Changed the client-side auto mode classifier to ignore an `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pin that names Claude Sonnet 5.5 or Opus 5.5 and use Claude Sonnet 5 instead
696- Changed `claude project purge` to `claude purge`; the old name still works and prints a notice
697- Changed the agents view `n:` filter (and Ctrl+F search) so Enter opens the session whose name matches best instead of the top row
698- Changed `/autocompact` to save the auto-compact window per model, so each model keeps its own setting when you switch
699- Changed MCP URL prompts from servers that can't report when you're done to wait for "I'm done, continue" before the tool call continues, so you can finish in the browser first
700- [VSCode] Fixed a claude.ai connector staying on "Needs authentication" after you authorize it: the MCP servers dialog now offers Check connection
701- [VSCode] Fixed the opt-in New Conversation shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl+N) starting a conversation in every visible Claude view instead of only the one you are in
702- [VSCode] Fixed the chat view resuming the next saved session after you archive the one it shows; it now starts a new conversation instead
703- [Cloud sessions] Fixed the Cloud sessions switch in Claude Code admin settings staying locked off while an unrelated security setting was loading or had failed to load
704- [Cloud sessions] Fixed pressing Stop while a self-hosted runner was still starting not cancelling the queued message, which could then run once the runner was up
705- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude Tag admin settings offering a "Remove this scope" option, which always failed, on channels whose settings were created automatically
706- [Claude Tag] Improved Claude to also follow a related Slack thread in another channel that it only read, so updates there reach the conversation that depends on them
707- [Claude Tag] Improved save errors on a channel's Configure page: too-long channel instructions now say to shorten them, and a save refused for lost access no longer says to try again
708- Fixed `claude plugin test` reporting mods as turned off remotely when it had only read an out-of-date saved setting
709
710## 2.1.287
711
712- Added Claude Mods: plugins may now modify deeper behavior
713- Added You should know, a built-in mod 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)
714- 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
715- 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)
716- 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
717- Windows: Added a startup warning when denying the Bash tool also turns off the PowerShell tool, so Claude has no shell tool
718- 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
719- Fixed fast mode staying off in remote sessions owned by an agent with no user account, even when the organization allows it
720- 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
721- 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
722- Fixed tool heartbeats not reaching SDK hosts while the model's response stream was stalled with no data arriving
723- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex startup model checks ignoring an enforced `availableModels` list, which could collapse `/model` to one Opus row
724- Fixed the Claude in Chrome browser picker showing a JSON parse error when Chrome could not be reached
725- 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
726- Fixed switching between Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 (`/model`, `opusplan`) rewriting earlier MCP tool announcements, which could drop earlier extended thinking
727- 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
728- 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
729- Fixed `claude -p` and SDK sessions repeating a model fallback on every later message after the model was switched while a reply was running
730- Fixed a folder's CLAUDE.md being attached a second time after resuming a session or after a compaction
731- Fixed background sessions that could not be reopened from `claude agents` after the agent exited and removed the worktree the session was started in
732- 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
733- Fixed Bash permission prompts showing internal parser names such as "Contains simple_expansion" instead of a plain explanation
734- 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
735- Fixed organization per-tool permission ceilings being silently dropped for an MCP tool named `__proto__`
736- Fixed Claude being told to page large MCP results saved as JSON with Read's offset and limit, which cannot split one long line
737- Fixed the commit attribution reminder being delivered inside a tool result after a compaction
738- 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
739- Fixed screen reader mode refusing Enter with nothing typed on /rewind's summarize options, whose added context is optional
740- Fixed screen reader mode showing a "Tab to amend" hint on approval prompts, where Tab does nothing
741- 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
742- Fixed screen reader mode leaving out the changed lines in file edit approval prompts and other diffs
743- 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
744- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS` not removing the structured-output format from session-title and prompt-hook requests, which Bedrock-backed gateways reject
745- 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
746- 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
747- Fixed `claude agents` sometimes not showing the permission prompt a background session is waiting on
748- 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
749- Fixed `claude remote-control` failing to register behind an HTTP proxy with a misleading "Check your organization permissions" error (anthropics/claude-code#97352)
750- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands on Linux inheriting an open handle on the Claude Code executable
751- 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
752- Fixed times in `claude agents` changing every second in screen reader mode; they now change at most every 10 seconds
753- 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"
754- Fixed `/ultrareview` upload refusals advising you to copy a variable named by a repository's settings file into your own user settings
755- 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
756- 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
757- 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
758- Fixed cloud sessions sometimes losing the earlier conversation when the session restarted while it was being compacted
759- Fixed a plugin reload that overlapped the startup `--plugin-url` download corrupting the session's cached copy of the plugin archive
760- Fixed `/desktop` quoting partial output when opening Claude Desktop timed out or printed too much output; the error now names the cause
761- 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
762- Fixed SessionStart hooks from synced plugins not running in new cloud sessions
763- 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
764- 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
765- 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
766- 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
767- Fixed messages sent from the Claude apps with 17 to 20 attached files delivering only the first 16
768- Fixed headless sessions reporting an MCP server as needing authentication after one refused call, even though later calls succeed
769- macOS: Fixed Remote Control sessions started with `claude remote-control` stopping mid-turn when the Mac went to idle sleep
770- 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)
771- 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
772- 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
773- Improved plugin marketplace errors to say in plain words why a marketplace was ignored or refused, and what to do
774- 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
775- 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
776- 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
777- Improved `/memory`: the left and right arrow keys now flip its on/off settings, such as Auto-memory
778- Improved `/skill` names typed mid-message: Claude is now told they are skills, including `disable-model-invocation` ones
779- Improved the contrast of the prompt input border in light themes and of the ❯ before your earlier messages
780- 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
781- 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
782- Improved the prompt for a held message from another session to show the message between dashed lines, matching other permission prompts
783- Improved MCP and other tool permission prompts to show the tool call between dashed lines, matching file edit prompts
784- 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
785- 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
786- 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
787- 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
788- Windows: Improved Bash tool speed by removing a subshell that ran before every command
789- 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
790- 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)
791- 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
792- 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)
793- 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
794- Changed MCP server `alwaysLoad: false` to defer all of that server's tools behind tool search
795- 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
796- Changed automatic model switches after a flagged message to keep your current effort level instead of the new model's default
797- 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)
798- [VSCode] Added "Run in background" to a running command or sub-agent, to move it to the background and keep working
799- [VSCode] Added the output of background shells and Monitors to their cards in the agent map
800- [VSCode] Fixed settings dialogs blaming a timeout when Claude Code's reply was too large to confirm a save
801- [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
802- [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"
803- [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
804- [VSCode] Fixed tool-row file links, session-list links and two hints showing in plain text
805- [VSCode] Fixed a background agent's still-running command showing as failed once the main turn ended
806- [VSCode] Fixed a user's own `/usage` or `/context` command opening the extension's dialog instead of running when picked from the command menu
807- [VSCode] Fixed file links in the plan preview tab doing nothing when clicked; they now open the file like links in chat replies
808- [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
809- [VSCode] Improved the Manage plugins dialog: a failed marketplace add, remove or refresh now says what went wrong
810- [VSCode] Changed the Claude in Chrome "Enabled by default" switch to also connect the editor's own sessions, which still ask before browser actions
811- [Cloud sessions] Fixed occasional failures to fetch from or push to GitHub when GitHub briefly refused a newly issued access token
812- [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
813- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude Tag's spend limits page in admin settings leaving out recently created and private channels in organizations with many channels
814- [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
815- [Code Review] Fixed finding comments and their "Why this was flagged" text stopping mid-sentence; they now end on a complete sentence
816- [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
817- [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
818
819## 2.1.286
820
821- Added a count such as "2 of 5" to the permission prompt when several permission requests stack up
822- 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
823- Fixed several Claude Code processes and IDE extensions each opening a login browser when gcpAuthRefresh or awsAuthRefresh credentials expire
824- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` sometimes losing every turn after a batch of parallel tool calls when the earlier session crashed or was killed
825- Fixed API 400 errors after a tool or hook returned an object, number or boolean instead of text, including in resumed sessions
826- Fixed cloud sessions with very large histories never waking up because the container was stopped while the transcript was still loading
827- 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
828- 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
829- 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
830- 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
831- 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
832- Fixed headless sessions repeating the "MCP servers require authentication" reminder after a successful re-authentication when the MCP discovery cache is enabled
833- 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
834- 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
835- 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
836- 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
837- Fixed MCP error messages showing a credential's value when "Bearer" or "Basic" came before its key name
838- Fixed percent-encoded Bearer tokens being only partly masked in error messages
839- Fixed redacted logs and transcripts showing a secret whose key name has an invisible character inside, such as a zero-width space
840- 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
841- Fixed the session transcript in the zip that `/feedback` saves to disk containing invalid JSON lines after secret redaction
842- Fixed MCP connectors listing no tools for up to a day after their server dropped the older MCP handshake
843- Fixed a repeat MCP sign-in request from Claude replacing the pending sign-in link, which could stop that link from working
844- 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
845- Fixed plugins enabled on claude.ai occasionally going missing from Claude Code for a session after a transient server error
846- Fixed a message typed into a running subagent showing twice in its transcript after the subagent read it
847- Fixed subagent hand-back messages showing a raw task id instead of the agent's name when the subagent had no registered name
848- Fixed foreground subagents sometimes missing the task-tracking tools (TaskCreate/Get/Update/List, TodoWrite) in sessions that have them enabled
849- 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
850- Fixed Workflow tool subagents being restarted from their original prompt when a connection stalled for a few minutes mid-response
851- 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
852- Fixed background jobs showing done while waiting for your approval
853- Fixed the commit attribution reminder being re-sent inside tool output when a model fallback lasts only one turn
854- 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
855- 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
856- Fixed files with very long names not reaching a cloud session when attached to it
857- Fixed plugin errors for a marketplace Claude Code refuses to load: they now say why and how to fix it instead of "not found"
858- 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
859- 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
860- 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
861- Improved replies from background agents to your messages so they no longer open with a separate recap of what you said
862- 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
863- 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
864- Improved Bash, PowerShell and Monitor permission prompts to show the command between dashed lines, matching file edit prompts
865- 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
866- Improved the external editor (Ctrl+G): editors that take a line number now open on the line your cursor is on in the prompt
867- Improved slash command suggestion responsiveness while typing when many skills or plugin commands are installed; command descriptions now match by word prefix
868- 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
869- Improved `/hooks`: the closing line of a hook's detail screen now says "this hook" instead of "it"
870- Improved the model fallback notice and the autocompact-thrashing error to say when a fallback dropped the context window from 1M to 200K tokens
871- Improved responsiveness of SDK and `-p` sessions when a host re-sends an MCP server enable for a server that is already connected
872- 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
873- Changed prompts sent while nothing is running or queued to show in the normal text color right away instead of gray
874- 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
875- 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
876- Changed the send-now key (ctrl+enter) to move a skill's own shell command to the background instead of ending it
877- Changed the WebFetch error for a rate-limited domain safety check to tell Claude not to retry it in a loop
878- Changed plugin installs to refuse npm sources that are git repositories or folders, and to install plugin dependencies only from registry packages
879- Changed list screens (`/artifacts`, `/mcp`, `/skills`, `/hooks` and others) to always line up each row's details in one column after the names
880- Changed the overflow rows of lists to read "↑ N more" / "↓ N more" instead of "N more above" / "N more below"
881- Changed `/hooks` to open on one list of your configured hooks grouped by event, so viewing a hook takes one Enter instead of three
882- 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
883- 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
884- Changed the `claude-api` skill's Managed Agents examples to create environments with limited networking
885- Removed the browser link from `/ultrareview` and `claude ultrareview` output
886- 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
887- [VSCode] Added bookmarks: save Claude's responses and keep them in view in a Bookmarks side panel
888- [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
889- [VSCode] Added option previews to question cards in the chat panel: the highlighted choice's mockup or snippet shows beside or under the options
890- [VSCode] Added rows under a message that open to the terminal output, browser tab, browser instructions and selected code sent with it
891- [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
892- [VSCode] Fixed settings dialogs reporting a failed save, without re-checking, when Claude Code printed more than 1 MB of output
893- [VSCode] Fixed an endless "Teleporting session…" spinner when the extension stops responding
894- [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
895- [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
896- [VSCode] Changed the "✻ Claude Code" status bar item to show in every window, so you can open Claude when no file is open
897- [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
898- [Cloud sessions] Fixed clearing an organization environment's setup script in admin settings leaving new cloud sessions still running the old script
899- [Cloud sessions] Fixed the Runner actions menu on the self-hosted environments admin page closing on its own a few seconds after it opened
900- [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
901- [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
902- [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
903- [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
904- [Claude Tag] Fixed memory recall finding nothing in organizations that cannot use the default Sonnet model
905- [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
906- [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
907- [Claude Tag] Fixed public channel names on Claude Tag's spend limits page in admin settings showing as raw Slack IDs in larger organizations
908- [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
909
910## 2.1.285
911
912- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_WEB_FETCH` environment variable to turn off the WebFetch tool
913- Added `claude --desktop` to open the Claude desktop app on the current directory, or on a session with `--continue` / `--resume <id>`
914- 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`
915- 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
916- 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)
917- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_NONSTREAMING_TIMEOUT_RETRIES` environment variable to cap re-sends of a non-streaming fallback request that timed out
918- 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
919- 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`
920- 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
921- Fixed cloud sessions that restarted after their conversation was compacted refusing the next update to an artifact the session had already read or published
922- 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
923- 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
924- 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
925- Fixed redacted logs and transcripts showing part of a URL password that contains `@`, or all of it when the URL writes its `@` as `%40`
926- Fixed SSH passphrase and new-host prompts from worktree and `/teleport` fetches taking over the terminal; these fetches now fail fast instead of asking
927- Fixed switching off an MCP server added mid-session in SDK and `-p` sessions leaving its tools available
928- Fixed `claude -p --permission-prompt-tool`: a background subagent's permission request now goes to the prompt tool instead of being auto-denied
929- 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
930- Fixed sandbox auto-allow asking for approval on every run of many inline scripts (`python3 -c`, `node -e`) just because they contain `=`
931- 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
932- 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
933- Fixed background subagents in auto mode prompting a second, redundant reply after each report
934- Fixed cloud session creation and `/remote-env` reading only the newest 20 of an account's environments
935- 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)
936- 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
937- Fixed hooks and SDK permission callbacks seeing a missing or outdated plan on ExitPlanMode when the plan was written in the same response
938- Fixed the first reply in cloud sessions arriving tens of milliseconds late, a regression in 2.1.283
939- Fixed sessions that authenticate with `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` against the Anthropic API never loading the organization's policy
940- 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
941- 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
942- Fixed WebFetch reporting a rate-limited domain safety check as a network or enterprise policy block
943- 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
944- Fixed Amazon Bedrock mid-stream `modelTimeoutException` and `serviceUnavailableException` errors showing a raw JSON body instead of the error message
945- Fixed `/autofix-pr` and `/schedule` saying the Claude GitHub App is not installed on a repository whose install status had not been checked yet
946- 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
947- 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
948- 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
949- 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
950- 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
951- 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
952- Fixed a misleading "core.worktree is set" error from `/ultrareview` when the project folder briefly could not be read
953- Fixed `/ultrareview` on macOS and Linux failing to upload the working tree from a git worktree whose per-worktree config sets `core.longpaths`
954- 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
955- Fixed `/ultrareview` uploads including uncommitted changes to credential files whose name has a colon before the extension, such as `server:8443.key`
956- Fixed a rare auth failure when two sessions recover a login refresh lock left by a crashed process at the same time
957- 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)
958- 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
959- Fixed a cancelled shell command or hook still starting, and running to its end, when the cancel arrived while it was being set up
960- 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
961- 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
962- 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
963- 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
964- 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
965- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` re-running a turn that had ended at `--max-turns`
966- Fixed sign-in that could wait forever after the browser showed success
967- Windows: Fixed `/ultrareview` uploading a linked worktree of a repository rooted at your home folder in some cases
968- Fixed cloud sessions reporting the uploads folder as missing before any file had been uploaded
969- Fixed a reply sent from `claude agents` to a background session waiting on a permission prompt sometimes approving the pending command
970- 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
971- Fixed `claude mcp list` leaving out WebSocket (`ws`) MCP servers; each is now listed with its URL and health status
972- Fixed `claude mcp get` showing no Type, Command, Args, or Environment for stdio servers whose config entry omits the `type` field
973- Fixed `.claude/settings.local.json` allow rules being held back outside a git repository when git's trace2 output is configured
974- Fixed the `/claude-api` eval runner scaffold and report builder writing through a symlink or hard link planted at an output file
975- 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
976- 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
977- Fixed a brief freeze (up to a second) partway through long sessions outside fullscreen mode, which came back after `/clear` or `/compact`
978- 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
979- 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
980- 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"
981- 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
982- Improved plugin marketplace errors to name why a git address is refused instead of citing enterprise policy
983- Improved validation of git URLs for plugins, marketplaces and the current repository's remote
984- Improved Artifact tool results: they now suggest publishing in the same step as writing or editing the page, which can save a round trip
985- 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
986- 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
987- 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
988- 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
989- 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
990- 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
991- 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
992- Improved per-turn performance when many permission deny rules and MCP tools are configured
993- Improved responsiveness when leaving the ctrl+o transcript view in long sessions when fullscreen rendering is off
994- Improved Bedrock, Vertex and Mantle start-up model checks to send the same User-Agent, x-app and session ID headers as regular requests
995- 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`
996- 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
997- 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)
998- 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
999- 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
1000- 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
1001- 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
1002- 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
1003- 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
1004- 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
1005- 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
1006- 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
1007- Changed `/tasks` to fold background work Claude Code runs for itself under one "System tasks" row; press Enter on it to show those tasks
1008- 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
1009- 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
1010- 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
1011- Changed Bedrock, Vertex and Mantle start-up model checks to identify themselves as Claude Code, like other Claude Code requests
1012- Changed `claude mcp get` to hide the command, arguments, and environment values of stdio MCP servers provided by plugins; variable names are still shown
1013- Changed `/claude-api` so it can no longer be run from Remote Control clients
1014- 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
1015- 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
1016- [VSCode] Added a note under a restored tab's last message when a window reload interrupted it and no reply will follow
1017- [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
1018- [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
1019- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Enter after typing a slash command running an unrelated menu item picked by fuzzy match, or doing nothing
1020- [VSCode] Fixed an open agent transcript losing the agent's newer messages during a long session
1021- [VSCode] Fixed a message that quotes a Claude Code or IDE tag losing the rest of its text in the chat
1022- [VSCode] Fixed a message sent while Claude was working disappearing from the conversation after the session was reopened
1023- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's Web tab showing the previous account's sessions after an account switch
1024- [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
1025- [VSCode] Fixed Escape stopping the running turn instead of closing the command menu after clicking one of its rows
1026- [VSCode] Fixed opening Past conversations replacing a live conversation with its saved copy
1027- [VSCode] Fixed a Claude tab reloaded after an extension restart staying blank instead of saying how to recover
1028- [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
1029- [VSCode] Fixed a hook's reason for blocking or stopping a prompt disappearing after a window reload
1030- [VSCode] Fixed tabs stuck on a conversation that can't be resumed: the error now says so and offers to start a new conversation
1031- [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
1032- [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`)
1033- [VSCode] Fixed uninstalling a plugin from the Manage plugins dialog, which removed the wrong installation or failed for a plugin installed for the project
1034- [VSCode] Fixed sign-in staying on the authorization-code step after going back and choosing the same sign-in method again
1035- [VSCode] Fixed the chat panel stalling when a long session trims its oldest rows
1036- [VSCode] Fixed the conversation disappearing from a session when many agents run
1037- [VSCode] Fixed the editor tab keeping an old name after a session was renamed with /rename, by a SessionStart hook, or on claude.ai
1038- [VSCode] Fixed the agent map's transcript view leaving out messages sent to a running agent
1039- [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
1040- [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
1041- [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
1042- [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
1043- [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
1044- [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
1045- [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
1046- [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
1047- [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
1048
1049## 2.1.284
1050
1051- 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
1052- 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
1053- 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`
1054- Added `effortSlider:decreaseEffort`, `increaseEffort` and `toggleUltracode` keybinding actions, so the `/effort` slider's arrow and Tab keys can be rebound in `keybindings.json`
1055- 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
1056- Added `/mcp reconnect all` in the interactive terminal to retry every MCP server that failed to connect or needs authentication at once
1057- 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`
1058- 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
1059- 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
1060- 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
1061- Fixed an overloaded or server error arriving right after a thinking block ending the turn with an error instead of being retried
1062- 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
1063- 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
1064- 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
1065- 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
1066- 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
1067- 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
1068- 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
1069- Fixed `ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE` being interpolated into the Foundry endpoint host unvalidated; a value that is not a plain resource name is now refused
1070- Fixed Claude Desktop behind a Claude apps gateway offering no 1M context option: the gateway now marks each 1M-capable model for Desktop automatically
1071- Fixed ↓ in shell mode selecting a hidden background-tasks pill, which stopped Backspace and Ctrl+U from editing the prompt
1072- 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
1073- 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"
1074- Fixed fullscreen rendering erasing the terminal output above the session when `[` in transcript mode writes the conversation to scrollback (macOS and Linux)
1075- Fixed fullscreen scroll position jumping to the previous message or to the bottom when a reply finished streaming while scrolled up
1076- 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
1077- 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
1078- Fixed `/keybindings` writing Backspace and Delete bindings for a footer action that does nothing into the generated `keybindings.json`
1079- Fixed a rebound agent panel close key (`footer:close`) typing "x" instead of itself on the row of the agent you're viewing
1080- 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)
1081- 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
1082- Fixed a key pressed the instant the terminal regained focus answering the Remote Control enable prompt before its short safety delay restarted
1083- Fixed the workspace trust dialog appearing a second time after switching renderers or updating when Claude Code was started in the home directory
1084- 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
1085- 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
1086- Fixed a failed first `claude plugin install` leaving the plugin enabled and recorded when a dependency's version range could not be met
1087- 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
1088- Fixed `{"decision":"block"}` returned by Elicitation and ElicitationResult hooks being ignored; it now declines the MCP elicitation, as exit code 2 does
1089- Fixed sessions launched without the `SendMessage` tool (such as by Claude Desktop) still being told to message other sessions with it
1090- 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
1091- 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
1092- 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
1093- 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
1094- 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
1095- Fixed `/ultrareview` failing to upload the working tree when started from a git worktree that the Claude desktop app created on macOS or Linux
1096- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands failing to start on Linux when the working directory is write-denied and contains a read-denied directory
1097- 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`
1098- 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
1099- 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
1100- Improved the "No such tool available" error for Claude in Chrome tools called without their prefix: it now names the tool to call
1101- 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
1102- Improved Workflow tool sandbox hardening for errors thrown by async script hooks
1103- Improved startup time and memory use by building only the parts of the settings schema that your settings files actually use
1104- 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
1105- 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
1106- 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
1107- 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
1108- 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
1109- Improved `claude remote-control`: in a folder you haven't trusted yet, it now asks for workspace trust on the terminal instead of exiting
1110- 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
1111- 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
1112- 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
1113- 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
1114- 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
1115- Changed the notice shown when a Sonnet model's safeguards flag a message to explain why it happened and to offer editing and retrying
1116- 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
1117- 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`
1118- 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
1119- 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`
1120- 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`
1121- [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)
1122- [VSCode] Added plugin load errors and notes to the Manage plugins rows, with a popup to disable, uninstall or copy the error
1123- [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
1124- [VSCode] Fixed Reload Claude from the Memory dialog restarting before an edited file was saved
1125- [VSCode] Fixed a restored tab opening a conversation another Claude process still has open; it now asks first
1126- [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
1127- [VSCode] Fixed typing `/model` and Enter printing usage text into the chat instead of opening the model selector
1128- [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
1129- [VSCode] Fixed sign-in waiting up to a minute for the Python extension after a window reload
1130- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code tabs that stopped responding after Restart Extensions: they now reopen on their conversation
1131- [VSCode] Fixed a message from another agent with no recorded sender showing as raw XML in the chat
1132- [VSCode] Fixed messages from other agents, sessions or channels disappearing after a reload
1133- [VSCode] Fixed a user's own `/mcp`, `/config` or `/settings` command being shadowed by the extension's dialog
1134- [VSCode] Fixed Escape stopping every background agent when no turn was running
1135- [VSCode] Fixed plugin install links replacing a marketplace you already have that uses the same name
1136- [VSCode] Fixed "Prompt is too long" errors after compaction when a large text file is attached to a message
1137- [VSCode] Fixed chat links to files with non-ASCII characters, spaces or brackets in their path not opening
1138- [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
1139- [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
1140- [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
1141- [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
1142- [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
1143- [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
1144- [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
1145- [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
1146- [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
1147- [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
1148- [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
1149- [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
1150- [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
1151
1152## 2.1.283
1153
1154- 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`
1155- Added `availableModelsMatch` managed setting: with `"exact"`, an `availableModels` entry allows only the model version it names, so new releases stay blocked until listed
1156- Added `deniedModels` managed setting to block specific models, even when `availableModels` allows them
1157- Added MCP tool, WebFetch and WebSearch outputs to the `tool.output` OpenTelemetry span event when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_CONTENT=1`
1158- 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
1159- Added click-to-expand for truncated messages from your other sessions in fullscreen mode
1160- Added `path` to `--plugin-dir` load-failure entries in the stream-json `system/init` `plugin_errors`, naming the directory that did not load
1161- 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
1162- Added a `mantle` upstream provider to the Claude apps gateway for Amazon Bedrock's Mantle endpoint
1163- 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`
1164- Fixed MCP progress notifications being discarded once a long-running tool call moved to the background; the background task now shows the latest progress
1165- Fixed stdio MCP servers being left running when the session ended while they were still starting
1166- 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
1167- 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
1168- Fixed the weekly Fable limit not appearing in `/usage` and the VS Code usage meters when telemetry is disabled
1169- 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
1170- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Haiku version and price when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL` pins a different model
1171- Fixed dynamic workflows started during a model fallback running every agent on the fallback model instead of retrying the configured model
1172- Fixed `DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_HAIKU` having no effect when Haiku is the session's main model
1173- Fixed `claude plugin validate` saying Claude Code accepts a plugin or marketplace name it cannot install; such names in `marketplace.json` now fail validation
1174- Fixed `claude plugin validate` passing plugins whose `outputStyles`, `themes`, `monitors`, or `lspServers` paths are missing or point outside the plugin directory
1175- Fixed `claude plugin details` showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare their servers in `plugin.json`
1176- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace remove` not saying which installed plugins it uninstalled with the marketplace; it now lists them
1177- 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
1178- 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
1179- 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
1180- Fixed `installed_plugins.json` showing no plugins when it holds a record under an invalid plugin id; such a file loads again
1181- 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
1182- Fixed permission dialogs in screen-reader mode reading quoted commands and paths as if they were the dialog's own text
1183- Fixed `/context` not counting MCP server instructions: they now appear as their own row and count toward the total
1184- Fixed markdown links in the Warp terminal rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
1185- 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
1186- Fixed the first words of a reply in a cloud session sometimes appearing late instead of streaming as Claude writes them
1187- 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
1188- Fixed `keybindings.json` silently accepting a misspelled modifier such as `ctl+k`; it now warns in the debug log and suggests the fix
1189- Fixed footer hints still saying "Enter to view" after `footer:openSelected` was rebound or unbound in `keybindings.json`
1190- Fixed keys typed quickly together (type-ahead, key repeat, bursts over ssh or tmux) sometimes being handled against stale state
1191- 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
1192- Fixed sandboxed `git` asking credential helpers to store the sandbox proxy's login, which printed "failed to store"
1193- 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
1194- 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
1195- Fixed Remote Control being unavailable on paid plans when telemetry is turned off with `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` or `DO_NOT_TRACK`
1196- Fixed the `/remote-control` menu cutting its QR-code hint mid-word in narrow terminals
1197- 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
1198- 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
1199- 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
1200- 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
1201- 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
1202- 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
1203- 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
1204- 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
1205- 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
1206- 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
1207- Improved the browser page shown after signing in to an MCP server: centered layout, dark mode, and new artwork
1208- 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
1209- 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
1210- 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
1211- Improved artifact database reads: an ordered query that returns a full page now says it is one page and how to read the rest
1212- 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
1213- Improved first-request latency by reusing the preconnected API connection
1214- 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
1215- 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
1216- 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
1217- Changed the `/ultrareview` launch dialog to say that reviewing a local branch may upload uncommitted changes to tracked files
1218- 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
1219- Changed prompt suggestions in the terminal to appear less often after 20 in a row go unused; using one brings them back
1220- Changed `--system-prompt` and `--append-system-prompt` to accept their text and `-file` forms together; the file's text comes first
1221- 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
1222- Changed `/rewind` and `/diff` lists to move on the same keybinding actions as every other list (`select:*`); `messageSelector:*`/`diff:*` rebinds still work
1223- 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
1224- 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
1225- 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
1226- 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`
1227- 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
1228- 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
1229- [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
1230- [VSCode] Fixed a session teleported from the web dropping the messages sent while Claude was working
1231- [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
1232- [VSCode] Fixed a reopened session splitting a turn at a message Claude received mid-turn, such as an automatic continuation
1233- [VSCode] Fixed a reloaded session showing a rewound-away turn, or only the rows before a compaction
1234- [VSCode] Fixed the footer's agents pill drawing its icon off-center, with the status dot against the edge, in narrow panels
1235- [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
1236- [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
1237- [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
1238- [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
1239- [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
1240- [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
1241- [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
1242- [Claude Tag] Fixed access-bundle repository search missing repositories on GitHub App installs that are limited to a large list of selected repositories
1243- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude occasionally posting the same reply twice when a new message interrupted it mid-reply
1244- [Claude Tag] Fixed channel routines that stopped running in older private channels whose Slack channel ID changed, for example after a Slack Connect share
1245- [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
1246- [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
1247- [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
1248
1249## 2.1.282
1250
1251- Added a `maxProseWidth` setting that caps the width of Claude's prose in wide terminals while tables and code blocks keep the full width
1252- 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
1253- 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
1254- 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
1255- Added a scrollbar to the `/feedback` drafts list in fullscreen mode; it appears while the mouse is over the list
1256- 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)
1257- 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
1258- Fixed earlier extended thinking being dropped when `/model`, `/rename`, `/artifacts` or another immediate slash command was used while Claude was working
1259- 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
1260- 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
1261- Fixed compaction failing when the summarization request is refused; it now retries on a fallback model
1262- 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
1263- 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
1264- 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
1265- 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
1266- 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
1267- 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
1268- 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
1269- Fixed a command approved on a restored permission prompt running twice when a remote session's worker restarted
1270- 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
1271- 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
1272- Fixed repository, user and `--add-dir` skills, commands and skills-directory plugin manifests pre-approving their own tools via `allowed-tools` under managed `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`
1273- Fixed safeguard block messages on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle not showing a request ID; block messages now also show the message ID
1274- Vertex AI: Fixed web search not being offered for models Claude Code doesn't recognize yet, such as newly released ones
1275- Fixed Bash and PowerShell hiding a full disk quota behind "Exit code 1" and leaving large output files in temp
1276- 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
1277- Fixed pasted multi-line text being submitted line by line after the terminal's bracketed paste mode was reset mid-session
1278- Fixed the prompt's example text flashing and disappearing at startup in projects with a `SessionStart` hook
1279- Fixed a blank screen flashing before the first frame when starting in fullscreen mode
1280- 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
1281- 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
1282- Fixed the cursor landing before the end of a prompt recalled from history when the prompt contains a tab
1283- 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
1284- Fixed `claude remote-control --debug` failing with "Unknown argument: --debug", although Remote Control's own eligibility error says to run with `--debug`
1285- 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
1286- Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share on Bedrock, Vertex and other third-party providers still saving the report file after you cancelled during the save
1287- 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
1288- 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
1289- Fixed a key typed right after `/` in `/skills` moving the skill list instead of reaching the search box
1290- 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
1291- Fixed lists with a scrollbar, such as `/skills` and `/mcp`, being two columns narrower outside fullscreen mode, where the scrollbar can never appear
1292- Fixed the agent panel footer wrapping onto two lines with long rebound keys, and its "Esc to collapse" hint ignoring a rebound collapse key
1293- Fixed a doubled ` · ` separator in the `/tasks` dialog footer when the stop-all-agents shortcut is unbound in `keybindings.json`
1294- Fixed artifact publishes failing when Claude gave the version a label longer than 60 characters; the label is now shortened
1295- 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
1296- 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
1297- 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
1298- 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
1299- 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
1300- 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
1301- Improved the time to resume very large sessions, including ones that were never compacted
1302- 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
1303- Improved the Claude Desktop unknown-model error to suggest switching to a different model
1304- Improved rendering of unusual Unicode in permission prompts
1305- 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
1306- 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
1307- Updated the `claude-api` skill to recommend `ant apply` for keeping Managed Agents resources as version-controlled files
1308- 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)
1309- Changed `sandbox.excludedCommands` to ignore project and local settings entries when managed settings or `--settings` set `allowUnsandboxedCommands: false`, or managed `allowManagedDomainsOnly: true`
1310- 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_*`
1311- 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
1312- 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
1313- 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
1314- 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
1315- 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
1316- Changed the Clawd mascot's feet in the start-up banner to sit under the corners of his body
1317- [VSCode] Fixed long replies falling behind the stream: the panel no longer re-parses the whole reply on every update
1318- [VSCode] Fixed the dictation mic button covering the message input's scrollbar when the input is tall enough to scroll
1319- [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
1320- [VSCode] Fixed an editor tab's sign-in screen hanging silently after the extension host restarts; it now shows the "stopped responding" notice too
1321- [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
1322- [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
1323- [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
1324- [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
1325- [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
1326- [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
1327- [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
1328- [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
1329- [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
1330- [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
1331- [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
1332- [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
1333- [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
1334- [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
1335- [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
1336- [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
1337
1338## 2.1.281
1339
1340- Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in `desktop` policy blocks, including `blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` and `disableBypassPermissionsMode`
1341- 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
1342- 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)
1343- Added `telemetry.resource_attributes` to the Claude apps gateway config, to put fixed labels on the telemetry of Claude Desktop and `/login` sessions
1344- 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
1345- 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
1346- 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
1347- Added an auto mode recommendation to `/insights` that estimates how many permission prompts auto mode could have handled in your recent sessions
1348- 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
1349- Fixed a crash ("unrecoverable interface error") that could end a session while an API request was being retried
1350- Fixed a turn that could retry indefinitely, ignoring `--max-turns`, when the model alternated unparseable tool calls and output-limit truncation
1351- 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
1352- Fixed resuming a very large session sometimes restoring only its last few messages
1353- 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
1354- 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
1355- 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
1356- 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)
1357- 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
1358- 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
1359- Fixed an empty completed response being requested twice when the connection dropped before the stream's final event
1360- Fixed the stop reason being lost when a proxy sends a trailing usage-only frame
1361- 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
1362- Fixed fast mode retrying rate-limited requests back to back when the server sent `Retry-After: 0`
1363- Fixed a tool that returned an oversized image leaving sibling tool calls unanswered and still running, or ending the turn with no final message
1364- 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
1365- 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
1366- 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
1367- Fixed non-interactive sessions (`-p`, Agent SDK) failing on the next turn after the directory they were started in was deleted mid-session
1368- 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
1369- 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
1370- Fixed a delay of up to two minutes before responding when reading or @-mentioning a PDF larger than 3 MB
1371- Fixed an interrupted Read of specific PDF pages leaving its page render running for up to two minutes
1372- Fixed permission dialogs and attachment checks reading a path under macOS's `/.vol`, `/.nofollow` or `/.resolve` (which can reach a network mount) before approval
1373- Fixed a recursive `rm` whose target is only command-substitution output, such as `rm -rf "$(pwd)"`, running unprompted in auto and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` mode; it now asks even with a Bash allow rule, unless run with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_SUBSTITUTION_RM_PROMPT=1`
1374- Fixed a permission rule containing a NUL byte being expanded into a wildcard match; such a rule now matches nothing
1375- Fixed sandbox `excludedCommands` entries not matching `git rev-parse --git-dir`, programs named like shell builtins, and commit messages containing `[WIP]` or `#` lines
1376- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands being unable to write to `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set
1377- 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
1378- 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
1379- 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
1380- Fixed Write refusing a call that gives the file path or content twice under two parameter names with identical values
1381- 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
1382- 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
1383- Fixed cloud sessions not telling Claude about background agents that finished just before a worker restart
1384- 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
1385- 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
1386- 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
1387- 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
1388- 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)
1389- 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
1390- 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
1391- 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
1392- 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)
1393- Fixed `MCP_CONNECTION_NONBLOCKING=0` giving up on claude.ai connectors after 1s instead of honoring `MCP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MS`
1394- 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
1395- 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
1396- 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
1397- 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
1398- Fixed `claude plugin validate` reporting `privacyPolicyUrl`, `supportUrl` and other listing metadata keys in plugin.json as unknown fields
1399- 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
1400- Fixed the `/plugin` Errors tab showing no confirmation after its last error is resolved
1401- Fixed `/plugin` starting a second uninstall or update of the same plugin when Enter was pressed again while the first was still running
1402- 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
1403- 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
1404- 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
1405- Fixed `/context` total leaving out messages added since the last response; it now matches its categories and can read higher than the status line
1406- 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
1407- 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
1408- Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share still sending your report after you cancelled it while it was being sent
1409- Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share failing every send with "Couldn't send feedback" after a Remote Control Stop arrived while the dialog was open
1410- Fixed `/ide` showing "No available IDEs detected" while also listing a running IDE
1411- 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
1412- Fixed `/config` exiting when `respectGitignore` or `copyFullResponse` in `~/.claude.json` holds `null`
1413- Fixed the session name from /rename disappearing while Claude asks a multiple-choice question, so side-by-side sessions stay identifiable
1414- 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
1415- 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
1416- Fixed pressing Shift+Tab twice quickly landing on the wrong permission mode
1417- 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)
1418- 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`
1419- 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
1420- 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
1421- 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
1422- Fixed the prompt cursor moving one character too far after an accent typed as its own key
1423- 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
1424- Fixed bulleted lists of plain numbers (like `- 316.`) showing as letters, roman numerals or the wrong numbers
1425- 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
1426- 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
1427- Fixed a mouse click on an agent-panel row leaving the keyboard cursor on the previously selected row
1428- Fixed Esc interrupting the running turn instead of deselecting the selected agent-panel row
1429- Fixed PgUp and PgDn doing nothing in a dialog's list (for example `/skills`) in fullscreen mode
1430- Fixed `/heapdump` summary saying most memory is native when it is in the JS heap snapshot
1431- 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
1432- Fixed /workflows moving the pointer to a different run, and `x` stopping it, when a new run started while the list was open
1433- 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`)
1434- Fixed the mouse wheel over the `/plugin` Installed list scrolling the pane behind it instead of the list
1435- Fixed the hover highlight lingering on a list row in fullscreen mode after scrolling or filtering moved it away from the mouse
1436- Fixed long list rows, such as in the /remote-control menu, wrapping onto a second line in narrow terminals; they're now cut with …
1437- Fixed `/hooks` and `/mcp` detail views printing a long value over the row below it in narrow terminals
1438- Fixed lists such as a skill's state options in `/plugin` not being answerable by typing a number in screen-reader mode
1439- Windows: Fixed Bash commands that write to `$TMPDIR/…` failing with "Permission denied"
1440- 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
1441- Improved Claude Desktop sign-in and usage-limit error messages to point at the app instead of terminal commands
1442- Improved startup: managed settings and policy fetches no longer retry requests that can never succeed
1443- Improved interactive startup time: git reads, startup telemetry and the Bedrock/Vertex model-upgrade checks no longer run before the first frame
1444- Improved the time to resume long sessions that read many files; the restored file cache now matches the files as they were read
1445- Improved the time to resume very long sessions that have been compacted, most noticeably through the Agent SDK and Claude Desktop
1446- 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
1447- 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
1448- Improved the auto mode denial message so Claude treats a denial as covering the outcome, not only the exact command
1449- 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
1450- Improved sandbox guidance on macOS: when a local dev server can't bind a port, Claude now points to `sandbox.network.allowLocalBinding`
1451- Improved `--agents` to accept the path to a JSON file (with `-p`) as well as inline JSON, and to allow an empty `prompt`
1452- Improved `/batch` to run where a WorktreeCreate hook provides the agent worktrees, not only inside a git repository
1453- 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)
1454- 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>`
1455- Improved `/deep-research` reliability on long research briefs by removing unused required fields from the scope step's output
1456- Improved the writing in published artifact pages: the bundled artifact-design skill now asks Claude for plain, direct prose
1457- Improved artifact publishing on slow connections: large page uploads are now sent compressed
1458- Improved the large CLAUDE.md startup notice to also count instruction files together, so many mid-sized files and @-imports are caught
1459- Improved debug logs to name settings `env` variables ignored because the session's launch environment already sets them
1460- 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
1461- 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
1462- 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
1463- 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
1464- Improved the `/plugin` plugin and marketplace details menus and the `/remote-control` already-connected menu: they now support Home/End and clicking a row
1465- 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
1466- Improved the /plugin Installed list: rows now line up in columns (status, name, type, details) across every section
1467- 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
1468- 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
1469- Improved `/diff`: a scrollbar shows where you are in a long list of changed files, and long paths no longer wrap their rows
1470- 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
1471- Improved screen-reader output in `/mcp`: a disabled server is read as "off" instead of "pending"
1472- 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
1473- Changed send now (ctrl+enter or ctrl+x ctrl+s) to move running tools to the background instead of cancelling the turn
1474- 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
1475- 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
1476- 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)
1477- Changed AGENTS.md support to also work on Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Microsoft Foundry, LLM gateways, and sessions with telemetry disabled
1478- 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
1479- 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`
1480- Changed queued messages to show in the conversation above the spinner instead of under it
1481- 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
1482- Changed the Artifact tool to let Claude load scripts from unpkg.com in artifact pages
1483- 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
1484- 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
1485- 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
1486- Changed Remote Control attachment downloads to reuse connections and to skip files already downloaded in the session
1487- Changed MCP resource lists (the resource list tool and @-mention suggestions) to skip MCP Apps UI resources; reading one by URI still works
1488- 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
1489- Changed the background tasks list (`/tasks`): pressing `x` on a running `/ultrareview` now asks for confirmation before stopping the review
1490- Removed the leftover "(removed)" `/agents` entry from the command menu and `/help`; typing `/agents` still explains where the wizard went
1491- [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
1492- [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
1493- [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
1494- [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
1495- [VSCode] Fixed Claude attaching option previews to multiple-choice questions in the chat panel, where the question card never shows them
1496- [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
1497- [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
1498- [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
1499- [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
1500- [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
1501- [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
1502- [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
1503- [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
1504- [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
1505- [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
1506- [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
1507- [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
1508- [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
1509- [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
1510- [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
1511- [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
1512- [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
1513- [Claude Tag] Fixed requests to DynamoDB and Kinesis account-based endpoints failing to authenticate when sent through an AWS connection in Claude Tag
1514- [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
1515- [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
1516- [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
1517
1518## 2.1.280
1519
1520- 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
1521- 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
1522- 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
1523- Added hook output sizes and the number of oversized outputs saved to a file to the `hook_execution_complete` OpenTelemetry event
1524- 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
1525- 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
1526- 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
1527- Fixed Write calls failing validation when a model sends `path`, `file_text`, `file_content` or a stray `description` instead of `file_path` and `content`
1528- 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
1529- 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
1530- 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)
1531- Fixed text fields in dialogs losing a typed letter, digit or Space to a keybinding on that key
1532- 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
1533- 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"
1534- 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
1535- 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
1536- Fixed resumed fork subagents rebuilding their tool list instead of re-sending the one they first used, which broke prompt caching for that agent
1537- Fixed subagent hand-back messages showing an internal provenance preamble when expanded outside verbose mode
1538- 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
1539- Fixed skills in `~/.claude/skills/` being moved to `~/.claude/skills/.trash/` when a `manifest.json` in that folder listed their names
1540- Fixed the session feedback survey showing no hover highlight on light and ANSI themes
1541- Fixed `/workflows` briefly showing a one-row list before opening the only run
1542- Fixed the mouse wheel not scrolling selection lists with hidden options (such as `/model` and `/permissions`) in fullscreen mode
1543- 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 ◯
1544- Fixed multi-select option descriptions being indented under the option number instead of under the label
1545- Fixed the search box in `/plugin`, `/skills` and `/mcp` losing its right border in fullscreen mode
1546- 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 ⚠
1547- Fixed Home and End doing nothing in the `/config` settings list and in selection lists such as `/model`, `/memory` and permission prompts
1548- Fixed PgUp/PgDn in the `/skills` menu wrapping past the first or last skill instead of stopping there
1549- Fixed Tab silently changing the selected setting's value in the `/config` list; it now does nothing there
1550- Fixed conversations failing on every turn with a "role 'system' must precede an 'assistant' message" API error
1551- 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
1552- 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
1553- Fixed a crash when resuming a session whose saved transcript holds a malformed system message or a memory-saved notice without its file list
1554- 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
1555- 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
1556- 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`
1557- Fixed resuming a session with unfinished background agents, shells or workflows starting a model turn on its own before you typed anything
1558- Fixed messages sent to a background subagent being silently lost in headless and SDK sessions when the subagent was finishing its turn
1559- Fixed a finished subagent's report being lost when the conversation that launched it was compacted before the report was read
1560- Fixed background subagents being unable to use the LSP tool when an LSP plugin is active
1561- Fixed background shell tasks reporting benign non-zero exits (e.g. grep with no matches) as failures
1562- 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
1563- Fixed Ctrl+C needing three or four presses to exit while background subagents are running; two presses now exit
1564- 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
1565- 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
1566- 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
1567- Fixed an MCP server re-added under the same name after `claude mcp remove` still showing as needing authentication instead of reconnecting
1568- Fixed background plugin marketplace auto-update ignoring git credential helpers, so private-repo marketplaces were re-cloned every run or never updated
1569- 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
1570- 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
1571- 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
1572- 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
1573- Fixed the Claude app showing a missing or stale context usage figure for Remote Control and cloud sessions right after /compact or /clear
1574- 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
1575- 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
1576- 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
1577- Self-hosted runner: Fixed lifecycle-hook commits failing to sign under `--configure-git`
1578- Windows: Fixed background cleanup deleting a directory symlink or junction used to relocate `~/.claude/session-env`, `image-cache` or another cleaned-up folder
1579- 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
1580- Reverted `ctrl+l` / `cmd+k` in fullscreen mode clearing the transcript view (added in 2.1.260); they redraw the screen again
1581- 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
1582- Improved `/permissions` tab navigation: ←/→ and Tab pressed in a rule list now switch tabs without moving focus to the tab bar
1583- Improved `/cost` cache-miss causes to name thinking mode and thinking display changes
1584- Improved the Artifact tool so that when Claude cannot read an artifact link it was given, it tells the user before continuing
1585- Improved `/install-github-app`: the GitHub CLI check and repository selection steps now show "Esc to cancel"
1586- 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
1587- Improved the workflow progress tree: running agents and phases now show a dim dot instead of ⟳
1588- 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`
1589- Improved the `/workflows` detail view in fullscreen: it no longer draws a second horizontal rule under the pane's divider
1590- Improved code blocks that don't name a language: they are now colored like inline code, so commands stand out from the surrounding text
1591- 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
1592- Improved the UserPromptSubmit hook timeout notice and the debug log to name which hook command timed out
1593- Improved `@` file suggestions: a file whose name contains the query now ranks above one that only matches across its folder names
1594- 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
1595- Improved `/ultrareview` uploads: renamed copies of key files, such as `id_rsa copy` or `kubeconfig (1).yaml`, now also stay on your machine
1596- Improved the cross-session messaging startup warning to explain that `--debug-file` writes a debug log to a path you choose
1597- Changed the default model on Pro and Team Standard plans from Sonnet to Opus, matching Max, Team Premium, and Enterprise
1598- 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
1599- 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
1600- Changed `/autocompact`'s footer hint to name ←/→, the keys that adjust other ordered values
1601- Changed `/fast`'s footer to name Space as the toggle key
1602- 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`
1603- Changed plugin marketplaces whose name imitates a reserved marketplace name to be refused when added, and to stop loading if one was already added
1604- 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
1605- [VSCode] Added a Status dialog, with a typed `/status`, showing the session's version, account, model and server details
1606- [VSCode] Added a Sandbox dialog for the sandbox mode, the unsandboxed fallback and excluded commands, opened from the panel menu or by typing `/sandbox`
1607- [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`
1608- [VSCode] Added Export conversation, with a typed `/export`, to copy or save the conversation as plain text
1609- [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
1610- [VSCode] Added a typed `/plan` that switches to plan mode, sends a first planning prompt, or shows the session's plan
1611- [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
1612- [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
1613- [VSCode] Changed "Open in New Tab" to open Claude beside the editor group you are working in rather than after the last group
1614- [VSCode] Fixed the effort chip showing a stale saved effort level instead of the level the session runs at
1615- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code never starting when the Python extension hangs while activating; it now starts after 60 seconds without the Python environment
1616- [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
1617- [VSCode] Fixed arrow-key navigation in the session list stopping after archiving or unarchiving a session from the keyboard
1618- [VSCode] Fixed paste marker lines showing in your own messages after reopening a session
1619- [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
1620- [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
1621- [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
1622- [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
1623- [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
1624- [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
1625- [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
1626- [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
1627- [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
1628- [Claude Tag] Fixed scheduled routines silently failing to run in Slack workspaces that were connected to Claude before the workspace joined its Enterprise Grid
1629- [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
1630- [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
1631- [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
1632- [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
1633- [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
1634
1635## 2.1.278
1636
1637- 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
1638- Added an `Auto mode server` row to `/status` showing whether this session's auto mode classifier runs on the server
1639
1640## 2.1.277
1641
1642- Added AGENTS.md support: in a project with no CLAUDE.md, Claude Code reads AGENTS.md instead; change it under "Project instructions" in `/config`
1643- 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
1644- Added an optional `headers:` map on Claude apps gateway upstreams, to send static headers to a proxy you run in front of a provider
1645- Added a line saying a background task's update is waiting when it finishes while a panel such as `/tasks` is open
1646- 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
1647- 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`
1648- 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
1649- Fixed interactive start-up hanging or showing an error for `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` users when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed `customApiKeyResponses` value
1650- 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
1651- Fixed `claude update` on winget- or apk-managed installs reporting "up to date" when the version lookup failed
1652- 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
1653- 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
1654- 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
1655- 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
1656- 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
1657- 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
1658- Fixed background sessions (`claude --bg`) exiting when a plugin's LSP server exited or closed its stdin
1659- Fixed a crash ("Type error") when opening `/mcp` or `/plugin manage` with a malformed `claudeAiMcpEverConnected` value in `~/.claude.json`
1660- Fixed a crash at launch when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed `theme` value
1661- 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
1662- Fixed a crash when resuming a session whose saved history holds an assistant message stored as a plain string
1663- Fixed sessions on slow or heavily loaded machines sometimes exiting with "Claude Code exited after an unrecoverable interface error" when the first spinner appeared
1664- Fixed a rare case where the screen could stop updating for the rest of the session after an internal rendering error
1665- 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
1666- 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
1667- 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
1668- Fixed the "copied" notice not appearing after drag-selecting text in the fullscreen `/resume` picker and other panels that cover the prompt area
1669- Fixed `$TMPDIR` expanding empty in Bash commands that run outside the sandbox while sandboxing is enabled
1670- 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
1671- Fixed the Claude apps gateway's telemetry relay ignoring a collector hostname or domain listed in `NO_PROXY` when a proxy is set
1672- Fixed one malformed `strictKnownMarketplaces` or `blockedMarketplaces` entry silently disabling the whole enterprise marketplace policy
1673- Fixed failed auto-updates leaving large staged downloads behind in `~/.cache/claude/staging`
1674- Fixed `/plugin` not stripping terminal control characters from messages on the Installed tab, such as the error of a failed plugin update
1675- 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`
1676- Fixed `/plugin` closing with no message when every install in a multi-select failed
1677- Fixed uninstalled plugins reappearing as "failed to load" rows in `/plugin` Installed, and Remove not clearing such a row
1678- 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
1679- 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
1680- Fixed Remote Control session bookkeeping failing when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed placeholder record
1681- Fixed the error after a revoked claude.ai login blaming an expired Anthropic profile; it now leads with `/login`
1682- Fixed typed or pasted text occasionally coming out scrambled in the `claude agents` dispatch input during key repeat or very fast input
1683- Fixed a crash ("unrecoverable interface error") when resuming a session whose saved transcript contains a stop hook summary without a well-formed hook list
1684- Fixed Enter on a selected agent panel row doing nothing when `keybindings.json` rebinds Enter in the Chat context, for example to `chat:queueSubmit`
1685- Fixed PDF page reads on Windows failing when the working folder's path is long (about 120 characters or more)
1686- 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
1687- Fixed project skills from the main repository not loading in `--worktree` sessions when `.claude/skills` is untracked
1688- Fixed a `sandbox.excludedCommands` glob exempting an entire compound Bash command from the sandbox when only one part matched; every part must now match
1689- Fixed resumed subagents and teammates re-rendering the MCP tool definitions they had loaded, which broke prompt caching for that agent
1690- 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
1691- Fixed attachments recorded earlier in a conversation being re-rendered after a resume or relaunch, which dropped extended thinking and missed the prompt cache
1692- 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
1693- Fixed messages typed while Claude is still working sometimes being ignored by the model
1694- Improved session start-up for SDK and headless (`-p`) use: the first turn no longer waits on the per-directory CLAUDE.md lookup
1695- Improved the Claude apps gateway's loopback error messages to name `CLAUDE_GATEWAY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK`
1696- Improved `/plugin` Installed: an MCP server listed apart from its plugin now shows which plugin it belongs to
1697- 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
1698- Improved the startup notice overflow line under the logo: it now reads "N more notices hidden" instead of "+N more · /status"
1699- 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
1700- 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
1701- Improved artifact link handling so Claude reads claude.ai artifact links with the Artifact tool instead of WebFetch when that tool is available
1702- Improved the dangerous-rm permission prompt to name the flagged rm command and suggest a `${VAR:?}` guard, so headless runs can recover
1703- Improved the Artifact tool's permission prompts: shorter sentences, pages and artifacts named by title or file name, and links listed after the text
1704- Changed Fable to always appear in `/model` on the Anthropic API; it is greyed out only when your organization's settings disable it
1705- 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
1706- Changed `/ultrareview` in non-interactive sessions to refuse when the repository has no base branch or shared history
1707- 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
1708- 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
1709- Removed the background Haiku auto-title request from `claude -p` runs launched outside an SDK or IDE
1710- 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
1711- [VSCode] Added a Sign out row to the panel menu, with `/logout` in the typed command menu
1712- [VSCode] Added background shells and other running tasks to the agent map, each with a Stop, and a typed `/tasks` that opens it
1713- [VSCode] Added a Copy response button on responses and a typed `/copy`
1714- [VSCode] Added a one-time notice when inactive sessions are archived automatically, and an "Unarchive all" action on the Archived sessions group
1715- [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)
1716- [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
1717- [VSCode] Fixed the effort slider's level not persisting into later sessions on a model that already had a level saved with `/effort`
1718- [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"
1719- [VSCode] Fixed `/fast` not saving fast mode as the default, so it was lost when the extension relaunched Claude Code
1720- [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
1721- [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
1722- [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
1723- [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
1724- [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
1725- [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
1726- [Claude Tag] Changed the Pylon credential preset in Claude Tag access bundles so admins can point it at Pylon's EU host
1727- [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
1728- [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
1729
1730## 2.1.276
1731
1732- Fixed every request failing with `400 … Input tag 'advisor_20260301'` when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at a proxy or gateway (2.1.275 regression)
1733
1734## 2.1.275
1735
1736- 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
1737- 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
1738- Added a startup warning when a configured `otelHeadersHelper` fails, so sessions that silently export no telemetry are noticed
1739- 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`
1740- Added `/plugin install <plugin> --marketplace <source>`, which offers to add the marketplace before installing the plugin
1741- Fixed a restored memory file's age note changing between requests after a compaction or resume, which caused prompt cache misses
1742- 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
1743- Fixed @-mention file suggestions being buried below MCP resources when using a custom `fileSuggestion` command or typing `@.`/`@./`
1744- 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
1745- Fixed `claude plugin marketplace update` deleting a GitHub marketplace's local copy when the fetch failed and the marketplace was named after its repository
1746- Fixed plugin and marketplace messages, logs and `claude plugin marketplace list` showing a password or token stored in a git, ssh or marketplace URL
1747- Fixed a resumed cloud session leaving an unanswered question open in the transcript after a queued message superseded it
1748- 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
1749- Fixed fullscreen mode freezing or blanking for several seconds when scrolling up past a large file diff
1750- Fixed a stray `</ccmemory>`-style closing tag occasionally appearing in responses
1751- Fixed plugin messages, logs and the VS Code plugin dialog showing the wrong server for some git addresses
1752- 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
1753- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands on Linux reporting exit code 0 for failed commands when the shell is zsh
1754- Fixed the Read tool hanging instead of reporting an error when part of a large file could not be decoded under memory pressure
1755- 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
1756- 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
1757- Fixed sessions failing to resume or start when their saved transcript contains a malformed message content block
1758- 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
1759- 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
1760- 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
1761- 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
1762- Fixed a crash at launch when `~/.claude.json` holds a malformed `mcpNeedsAuthNoticed` value
1763- 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
1764- Fixed text selected with the mouse in the fullscreen `claude --resume` session picker never reaching the clipboard
1765- 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
1766- 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
1767- Fixed `SubagentStop` hooks with a specific `matcher` firing for every stopping subagent whose agent type was empty
1768- Fixed sandboxed Bash commands being unable to write to project directories named `hooks/` or `config/`
1769- 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
1770- Fixed `/update-config` writing `Write(path)` permission rules, which file permission checks don't match, instead of `Edit(path)` rules
1771- Fixed four dead documentation URLs (Pricing, Computer Use, Skills, CLI) in the bundled claude-api skill's live-sources table
1772- 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
1773- Improved the `/desktop` error when Claude Desktop does not open: it now says why and what to do next
1774- 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
1775- 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
1776- 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
1777- 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
1778- 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
1779- Improved the `ListPlugins` tool description so Claude knows it lists plugins enabled on your claude.ai account, not plugins installed locally with `/plugin`
1780- Improved responsiveness when the terminal is slow or paused: output no longer falls further behind while the terminal catches up
1781- 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
1782- Updated `/logout` for Claude apps gateway sign-ins to also end the session on gateways that advertise token revocation
1783- Changed hosted sessions to keep an unanswered permission prompt up after a container restart, instead of asking again
1784- Changed the Artifact tool to ask for a one-word tab icon on a first publish instead of an emoji favicon
1785- 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
1786- 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
1787- 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
1788- Removed the startup notice that told you a one-off scheduled routine had run since your last session
1789- [VSCode] Added viewing, editing and deleting a saved memory inside the Memory dialog
1790- [VSCode] Added sending an attached image without typing any text
1791- [VSCode] Added a Retry link to the MCP servers dialog when the server list fails to load
1792- [VSCode] Added accept and reject buttons under each change in the proposed-change diff tab, so an edit can be reviewed change by change
1793- [VSCode] Fixed the transcript creeping toward the bottom in small steps while a permission card waits and content keeps arriving
1794- [VSCode] Fixed rewound and forked conversations not keeping the permission mode you had picked for the original conversation
1795- [VSCode] Fixed an empty `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` entry in the `environmentVariables` setting making Claude Code keep its files in the workspace
1796- [VSCode] Fixed plugin install links opening the Manage plugins dialog for plugin names and marketplace addresses that can't be used in a link
1797- [VSCode] Fixed Remote Control staying shown as connected after a turn-off that Claude Code reported as failed; it now shows as off
1798- [VSCode] Fixed the scroll to the bottom on send stopping short of the reply when the reply starts arriving during the scroll
1799- [VSCode] Fixed the agent map showing agents a crash left unfinished as stopped instead of failed once the session is reopened
1800- [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
1801- [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
1802- [VSCode] Fixed "Fork conversation from here" failing on the message right after one sent while Claude was working
1803- [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock showing too few minutes after reopening a session with a message sent while Claude was working
1804- [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
1805- [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
1806- [VSCode] Fixed renaming a running session reverting to the generated name (regression in 2.1.269)
1807- [VSCode] Fixed slash commands typed while Claude is responding being sent to the model as text instead of running once the response finishes
1808- [VSCode] Fixed unreadable code in the plan preview and the Hooks and Permission rules dialogs with the High Contrast Light theme
1809- [VSCode] Fixed `/remote-control` being ignored while Remote Control is still connecting: running it again now turns Remote Control off immediately
1810- [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
1811- [VSCode] Fixed the Manage plugins dialog showing a password or token that was typed into a marketplace URL
1812- [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
1813- [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
1814- [VSCode] Changed a message sent while Claude is working to wait at the bottom of the conversation until Claude starts on it
1815- [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
1816- [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
1817- [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
1818- [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
1819- [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
1820- [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
1821- [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
1822- [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
1823- [Claude Tag] Fixed S3 uploads from recent AWS CLI and SDK versions failing with a 502 error when sent through an AWS connection
1824- [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
1825- [Claude Tag] Fixed a thread's "Claude [task]" display name reverting to plain "Claude" after the session behind that thread was refreshed or restarted
1826- [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
1827- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude sometimes replying twice when another app or bot @mentioned it in a top-level channel message
1828- [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
1829- [Code Review] Fixed reviews occasionally dropping part of their analysis when one of the reviewing agents returned its findings in an unexpected format
1830- [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
1831
1832## 2.1.274
1833
1834- Added a visible warning when memory usage is critical, with steps to free memory or restart safely
1835- 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)
1836- Added `effort` attribute to the `claude_code.llm_request` OpenTelemetry trace span, matching the `api_request` event
1837- 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`
1838- 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
1839- Added `enduser.sub`, the IdP subject, to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway
1840- 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
1841- Added click-to-expand for collapsed teammate and agent messages in fullscreen mode
1842- 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
1843- 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
1844- Fixed Streamable HTTP MCP tool calls timing out after about 5 minutes even when a longer per-server `timeout` was set
1845- Fixed MCP prompts and resources not refreshing when a server sends list-changed notifications without declaring `listChanged`
1846- 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
1847- 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
1848- Fixed an active `/goal` being lost when resuming (`--continue` / `--resume`) a session that had compacted
1849- Fixed `claude agents` losing `--model`, `--effort`, `--permission-mode`, `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` and `--agent` after an auto-update relaunch
1850- Fixed a per-turn slowdown when a language server publishes project-wide diagnostics for thousands of files
1851- 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)
1852- 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
1853- Fixed clickable links to local file paths doing nothing in VS Code and other terminals that require a `file://` URI
1854- 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
1855- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview notes being attached to a previously chosen option instead of the highlighted one
1856- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview mode dropping the highlighted option when submitting a note with Enter
1857- Fixed a resumed background agent keeping half of an interrupted tool batch when one of its calls was approved with a message
1858- Fixed a local `claude -p --resume` started with `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` not reporting background tasks the previous process left unfinished
1859- Fixed the first turn of a cloud session sometimes starting without the tools of an SDK-hosted MCP server that was still connecting
1860- 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
1861- Fixed error hints in Claude Desktop sessions to suggest slash commands like `/usage-credits` instead of CLI flags that cannot be used there
1862- Fixed `/schedule` saving a routine's prompt without its message role when Claude writes the routine in the shape that listing routines returns
1863- Fixed `/status` not showing the `apiKeyHelper` failure that its own error banner told you to check
1864- 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
1865- 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
1866- Fixed Cowork and claude.ai cloud sessions with network access on treating reads of a teammate's artifact as if network access were off
1867- 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`
1868- Fixed `--strict-mcp-config` with an empty `--mcp-config` holding the first non-interactive turn for up to `MCP_TIMEOUT` on incidental MCP servers
1869- 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
1870- Fixed extra empty editor windows opening at startup on Linux under Wayland when running inside the Cursor or VS Code terminal
1871- Fixed an unhandled promise rejection in the Claude apps gateway when Postgres drops a connection during a spend check
1872- 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`)
1873- 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
1874- 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
1875- 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
1876- Fixed plugins with a top-level `$schema` in `hooks/hooks.json` showing an "unknown key" notice
1877- Fixed MCP connection errors and the MCP login tool's description showing secrets resolved from `${VAR}` placeholders in MCP configs
1878- Fixed Bash permission checks for commands that loop over or assign certain special shell variables; these commands now ask for permission
1879- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions accepting Bash commands with certain nested shell expansions; these are now refused
1880- Fixed the Edit permission prompt preview sometimes showing a different location than the approved edit in files with multi-byte characters
1881- 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
1882- Fixed a message a subagent sends to the main session disappearing from the Claude Desktop transcript after a relaunch
1883- Fixed a plugin loaded from a `.zip` being served from a stale extraction after several overlapping reloads
1884- Fixed a sub-agent's progress summary being replaced by a runaway multi-paragraph reply
1885- 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
1886- Improved Monitor tool notifications: a script's final output and its exit now arrive as one notification instead of two, saving a model turn
1887- 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
1888- Improved artifact publishing: a publish built on an older version is stopped before it is sent, with the newer page to merge
1889- Improved safety checks before removing an agent worktree that contains submodule checkouts
1890- 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
1891- 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
1892- 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
1893- 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
1894- 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`)
1895- 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
1896- 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
1897- 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
1898- Changed plugin and marketplace clones to leave Git LFS files as pointers instead of downloading them; `git lfs pull` in the checkout fetches them
1899- Changed self-hosted runners to skip a read-only repository the git host refuses at the access check instead of failing the session start
1900- 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"
1901- [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
1902- [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
1903- [VSCode] Added a `claudeCode.lockEditorGroups` setting to stop Claude from locking the editor groups it opens in
1904- [VSCode] Fixed a `/btw` side question asked in a new conversation's first seconds occasionally showing another session's side-question history
1905- [VSCode] Fixed a brief freeze when the extension first looks up your global gitignore file
1906- [VSCode] Fixed a message sent while Claude was running a tool disappearing from the conversation after a window reload
1907- [VSCode] Fixed the Manage Plugins enable toggle and MCP servers dialog rows being unreachable from the keyboard
1908- [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
1909- [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
1910- [VSCode] Fixed overlapping settings writes from the extension leaving `~/.claude/settings.json` unparseable or dropping a setting
1911- [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
1912- [VSCode] Fixed reopening a closed Claude tab splitting the editor layout when its locked group still holds another Claude tab and a file
1913- [VSCode] Fixed New session opening another locked editor group whenever a file tab shared the group with your Claude tab
1914- [VSCode] Fixed session names shifting sideways in the session picker while typing a search query
1915- [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
1916- [VSCode] Fixed inline code and code blocks in chat replies being unreadable under the High Contrast themes
1917- [VSCode] Improved screen reader navigation of the conversation: each message is announced as "You" or "Claude", with the tool name for tool steps
1918- [VSCode] Changed the default global gitignore file to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore` when `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is an absolute path
1919- [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
1920- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed git operations in cloud sessions failing with "service unavailable" when GitHub's token renewal briefly errors
1921- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed editing a routine occasionally making it fire twice or re-enabling a routine that had just been paused
1922- [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
1923- [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"
1924- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed sessions sometimes flipping back to unread right after you mark them read
1925- [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
1926- [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
1927- [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
1928- [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
1929- [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
1930- [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
1931- [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
1932- [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
1933- [Claude Tag] Fixed email addresses in Claude's Slack replies rendering with a visible `mailto:` prefix; they now show as the plain, clickable address
1934- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude refusing to watch an Enterprise Grid channel shared with the whole organization when asked from another workspace in the grid
1935- [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
1936- [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
1937- [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
1938- [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
1939- [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
1940- [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
1941- [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
1942
1943## 2.1.273
1944
1945- 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`
1946- Added a notification when an MCP server disconnects mid-session and automatic reconnection gives up, pointing at `/mcp`
1947- 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
1948- 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
1949- Fixed skills synced from claude.ai staying available after your organization turns Skills off; they now move to the recoverable trash
1950- Fixed `allowManagedMcpServersOnly`, `deniedMcpServers` and `disableClaudeAiConnectors` set via MDM or `managed-settings.json` being ignored when server-managed settings are also present
1951- 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
1952- Fixed `/login`, `/upgrade`, and `/extra-usage` discarding earlier thinking from the conversation, which forced a full prompt-cache rewrite on the next request
1953- 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
1954- Fixed a long-running session recreating a stub `.git/info/exclude` after the repository's `.git` directory was removed or moved away
1955- Fixed the main prompt dropping a `!` typed at the start while already in shell mode, so negated commands like `! grep …` can be typed
1956- 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"
1957- 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
1958- 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
1959- 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
1960- 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
1961- Fixed saved scheduled tasks running in the wrong session after `.claude/scheduled_tasks.json` was copied into another folder, such as a new worktree
1962- 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`)
1963- Fixed `/install-github-app` reporting a SAML single sign-on block as "admin permissions required"
1964- 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
1965- Fixed the spinner showing a doubled ellipsis ("……") on compaction status lines such as "Running PreCompact hooks…"
1966- Fixed a false-positive spinner tip suggesting the frontend-design plugin after reading or publishing Artifacts
1967- 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
1968- Improved responsiveness in long sessions: hook progress and sub-agent activity no longer re-process the whole conversation on every update
1969- 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
1970- 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
1971- Improved artifact database writes: an update can now remove a single field instead of rewriting the whole document
1972- 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
1973- 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
1974- 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
1975- 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
1976- 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
1977- 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
1978- 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`
1979- Improved the error shown when an MCP server's sign-in expires mid-session to say how to re-authenticate (`/mcp`)
1980- 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
1981- Changed `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` to also include real agent, skill, plugin and MCP server names on cost and token metrics
1982- Changed sign-in with a Claude account to also request access to your claude.ai plugins
1983- 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
1984- [VSCode] Fixed "Report a problem" still appearing, and `/bug` / `/feedback` opening a report form, for organizations that have product feedback disabled
1985- [VSCode] Fixed a red "Claude Code process exited with code 4294967295" banner appearing after completed turns on Windows
1986- Windows: Improved the network-path permission check for UNC paths when a mapped network drive was added with `--add-dir`
1987- [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
1988- [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
1989- [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
1990- [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
1991- [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
1992- [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
1993- [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude going silent minutes after reinstalling the app when an Enterprise Grid was disconnected but one of its workspaces stayed connected
1994- [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
1995- [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
1996- [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
1997- [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
1998- [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
1999- [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
2000- [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
2001- [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
2002- [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
2003- [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
2004- [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
2005- [Code Review] Improved suggested fixes to say what the fix must keep working when other code depends on the behavior being changed
2006- [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
2007- [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
2008- [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
2009
2010## 2.1.272
2011
2012- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2013
2014## 2.1.271
2015
2016- 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
2017- 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
2018- 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)
2019- 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
2020- 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
2021- 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`
2022- 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
2023- 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
2024- 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
2025- Fixed the tool and command lists not updating when the organization policy finishes loading after startup or changes mid-session
2026- 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
2027- 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
2028- 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
2029- Fixed `/fast off` answering "Fast mode unavailable" instead of turning fast mode off when the organization has fast mode disabled
2030- 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
2031- 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
2032- Fixed Bash permission checks missing the file that `fmt`, `column` and similar commands read when it follows an option the checker doesn't recognize
2033- 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`)
2034- Fixed Bash permission checks so that shell variable declaration flags cannot misrepresent the command being run
2035- 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
2036- 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)
2037- 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
2038- Fixed resumed `claude -p` sessions whose tools all come from MCP servers failing with "At least one tool must have defer_loading=false"
2039- Fixed turns failing with "API returned an empty or malformed response" when an LLM gateway returns the non-streaming reply as `text/plain`
2040- Fixed sustained high CPU usage and repeated tool-list requests when an MCP server sends `list_changed` notifications in a tight loop
2041- 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
2042- Fixed tool search returning no match when Claude selects an MCP tool by its bare name instead of its full `mcp__server__tool` name
2043- Fixed Ctrl+O cancelling pending MCP server reconnects, and `/mcp` sent from Remote Control failing while the transcript view is open
2044- Fixed the Claude in Chrome prompt telling the model to load tools through ToolSearch when ToolSearch is unavailable
2045- 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
2046- 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
2047- Fixed `/model` warning about losing the conversation cache when switching back to the model the conversation actually ran on
2048- Fixed `/reload-skills` reporting a skill count that disagreed with the slash menu after `/cd`
2049- Fixed `/resume` and `/continue` showing only 1-2 sessions in fullscreen mode on short terminals
2050- Fixed `/resume` and `/teleport` keeping the previous conversation's file-read tracking, so Claude could edit files the resumed conversation had never read
2051- Fixed `--resume` dropping the 1M context window (`[1m]`) when the resumed session's model family differs from the configured default model
2052- Fixed artifacts attached with `/artifacts` disappearing from the session after `--resume`
2053- Fixed background sessions (`claude --bg`, `claude agents`) not watching the artifacts they publish for republishes made elsewhere
2054- 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
2055- 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`
2056- 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
2057- Fixed spinner tips suggesting commands that aren't available for your account type or are disabled in your session
2058- 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
2059- Fixed text fields outside the main prompt moving a leading `!` to the end of what you typed (`!foo` came out as `foo!`)
2060- Fixed the interactive `/hooks` menu crashing when a hook matcher is named after an inherited object property such as `__proto__` or `constructor`
2061- Fixed a fullscreen rendering glitch where text kept a stale background color after the box around it lost its background
2062- Fixed Delete in st and Alt+arrow keys in rxvt-unicode not working in attached background sessions
2063- 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
2064- Improved terminal rendering performance: large diffs and long transcripts render faster, with fewer slow frames
2065- Improved startup time slightly by skipping a redundant validation of built-in model data on every launch
2066- 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
2067- 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
2068- Improved dynamic workflows to pause when you hit your usage limit and continue automatically when it resets, instead of dropping the affected agents
2069- Improved Remote Control to leave fewer empty sessions on claude.ai when setup fails on a flaky network
2070- 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
2071- 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
2072- 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
2073- Improved Markdown files published as artifacts: they now render as styled document pages (title header, document typography, syntax-highlighted code)
2074- 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
2075- 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
2076- Improved artifact watching: a session can now watch up to 10 published artifacts at once for republishes made elsewhere, up from 5
2077- Improved PDF @-mentions to say "page count unknown" instead of a page count guessed from the file size when pdfinfo cannot count the pages
2078- Improved `/mobile` to show a single QR code for claude.ai/mobile, which opens the right app store for your phone
2079- 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
2080- 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
2081- 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
2082- 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
2083- Changed the default dynamic workflow size to small on Pro plans and lowered the medium size guideline from 15 to 10 agents
2084- 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
2085- 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`
2086- [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
2087- [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
2088- [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
2089- [VSCode] Fixed session history showing only the current session when the workspace is on a Windows mapped network drive or SUBST drive
2090- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's Active filter hiding open idle sessions when Open is also checked in the filter menu
2091- [VSCode] Fixed a new chat switching back to the previous chat when the session list refreshed
2092- [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
2093- [VSCode] Fixed console windows flashing on Windows when the extension runs background commands such as git, ripgrep, and the sign-in status check
2094- [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
2095- [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"
2096- [VSCode] Changed the on state of toggle switches from Claude orange to the editor theme's button color
2097- [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
2098- [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
2099- [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
2100- [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
2101- [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
2102- [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
2103- [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
2104- [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
2105- [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
2106- [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
2107- [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
2108- [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
2109- [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
2110- [Code Review] Fixed reopening a finished /ultrareview cloud session in the Claude app starting the whole review over again unprompted
2111- Windows: Fixed PowerShell commands failing with "Exit code 1" and no output when the session's temp output path reaches 260 characters
2112
2113## 2.1.270
2114
2115- 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)
2116
2117## 2.1.269
2118
2119- 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`
2120- Added `/output-style [name]` to list and switch output styles, including over Remote Control and in cloud and other headless sessions
2121- Added a diff of the files a Bash command changed to the Bash tool result when the Bash tool handles file edits (setting `bashEditDiffEnabled`)
2122- 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`
2123- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS` to extend the LLM gateway `/v1/models` discovery timeout (default 3s)
2124- Added a spinner tip suggesting `/focus` for a view with just your prompt, a one-line work summary, and the response
2125- 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
2126- Fixed the prompt cache being partially invalidated on the turn after a response was cut off at the output-token limit and automatically resumed
2127- Fixed a case where resuming a session after interrupting Claude mid-thought could change how earlier context was re-sent, hurting prompt-cache reuse
2128- 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)
2129- 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)
2130- Fixed the terminal's replies to capability queries (`^[[?1;2c`) appearing as stray text at startup in some terminals
2131- Fixed rows at the top or bottom of the transcript going blank in fullscreen after resizing the terminal
2132- 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
2133- 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
2134- Fixed synced plugin MCP servers not connecting when a remote session resumes
2135- Fixed resumed headless sessions losing a turn's replies when the model was switched or a request was retried mid-turn
2136- 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
2137- Fixed CMYK JPEG images failing to attach with "cannot decode"; they are now converted and resized like other JPEGs
2138- Fixed the managed settings approval dialog not naming the collector for a gRPC telemetry endpoint set without a scheme
2139- Fixed plugin `headersHelper` consent prompts showing a URL path that could be misread as a different host
2140- Fixed plugin errors showing `[redacted URL]` in place of a relative Windows path with a folder name that starts with `@`
2141- 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
2142- 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
2143- 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
2144- Fixed the attribution reminder overriding a CLAUDE.md or memory rule against commit and pull request attribution; lines set by managed settings still apply
2145- Fixed prompt suggestions being dropped for text in Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other languages written without spaces between words
2146- Fixed synchronized output being assumed from the terminal's name in GNOME Terminal and Konsole versions that do not support it
2147- Fixed `permission_denials` in `--output-format stream-json` results omitting Read, Edit and Write calls blocked by a path-scoped deny rule
2148- Fixed sessions run through the SDK or the desktop app showing an unknown status in other sessions' agent list
2149- 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
2150- Fixed organization policy limits not loading for the session when another Claude Code process refreshed the login at the same moment
2151- Fixed Claude Desktop sessions using Bedrock, Vertex, or a gateway not getting the contextual "what Claude needs" turn-end notification text
2152- Fixed MCP servers reconnecting when an updated config only changed the order of the server URL's query parameters
2153- 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
2154- 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)
2155- 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
2156- Fixed prompt cache misses in cloud sessions by waiting briefly for server configuration before the first request
2157- 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
2158- 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
2159- 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
2160- 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
2161- 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
2162- 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)
2163- Fixed the terminal's block cursor showing under the interface in rxvt-unicode after leaving or re-entering fullscreen
2164- Fixed the cursor block staying visible after returning from an external editor in fullscreen mode on rxvt-unicode
2165- Fixed the interface being drawn twice after returning from an external editor (Ctrl+G) outside fullscreen mode
2166- Fixed the interface being drawn twice in Konsole after returning from an external editor
2167- Windows: Fixed PowerShell tool commands sent to the background stopping when Claude Code exits
2168- Improved the `/diff` panel to open fully rendered in one step instead of showing a loading state first
2169- 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
2170- 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
2171- 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
2172- Improved responsiveness in long sessions: transcript updates no longer re-process the whole conversation to build the collapsed tool-use summaries
2173- 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
2174- 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
2175- Changed artifact database reads that save into the session scratchpad so they no longer stop for working-folder approval
2176- 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
2177- [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
2178- [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
2179- [VSCode] Added live progress rows for running subagents under the tool-call groups in Focus view
2180- [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
2181- [VSCode] Added a Cancel button to the Switch account screen that returns to your session as the current account
2182- [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
2183- [VSCode] Fixed the footer's prompt cache clock hiding its minutes when the panel is narrow
2184- [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
2185- [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview that finished loading late sometimes hiding its comment box or showing an older plan
2186- [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview accepting comments that went nowhere after its Claude tab closed
2187- [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
2188- [VSCode] Fixed a session renamed in the extension while Remote Control is on keeping its old name on claude.ai/code
2189- [VSCode] Fixed the "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" toggle keeping its last position after the setting was reset to default from a terminal
2190- [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
2191- [VSCode] Fixed Switch account making a tab forget its dismissed usage-limit warnings when you sign back in as the same account
2192- [VSCode] Fixed a session rename being replaced by the generated name after a window reload when the session was renamed during a long turn
2193- [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar usage meter keeping a stale per-model weekly limit row after the account loses that limit
2194- [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
2195- [VSCode] Fixed the session list jumping down when the Account & usage header appeared a moment after opening the Claude side bar
2196- [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
2197- [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
2198- [VSCode] Changed the current-file chip in the message box: an X now removes it, replacing the Hide toggle
2199- [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
2200- [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
2201- [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
2202- [Claude Code on the web] Fixed one-off scheduled routines occasionally running a second time after a transient server error
2203- [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
2204- [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
2205- [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
2206- [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
2207- [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
2208- [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
2209- [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
2210- [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
2211- [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
2212- [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
2213- [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
2214- [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
2215- [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
2216- [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
2217
2218## 2.1.268
2219
2220- 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
2221- 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
2222- Added the `gatewayInternalNetworks` managed setting, letting administrators allow `/login` to a Claude apps gateway on their organization's own public IPv4 block
2223- 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
2224- Added `configDirectory` to the output of `claude auth status --json`
2225- Added `--json` to `claude plugin install`, `uninstall`, `update`, `enable` and `disable`, and `errorDetails`/`noteDetails` to each row of `claude plugin list --json`
2226- Added browser-tab icons for published artifacts, chosen by Claude to match each page
2227- 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
2228- 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)
2229- 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
2230- 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
2231- Fixed Claude sometimes replying "your message came through empty" after an MCP tool call
2232- 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
2233- 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
2234- Fixed plugin and marketplace errors showing a token or password from a git source URL
2235- Fixed `/mcp` and `/plugin` server details, `claude mcp list`/`get`, and MCP login errors showing secrets resolved from `${VAR}` placeholders in MCP configs
2236- Fixed prompt caching and extended thinking breaking mid-session for SDK sessions using `excludeDynamicSections`: the first message is no longer re-rendered each request
2237- Fixed entitled users being told a model is restricted after restart or in the Desktop Code tab when a cached model-access denial was stale
2238- Fixed a running session silently switching to the organization's default model when another Claude Code process refreshed a stale model-access entry
2239- Fixed long-context 429s on Fable models showing the usage-credits consent prompt instead of the 1M-context message on Pro and Team plans
2240- Fixed workload identity federation via a profile (as claude-code-action configures it): processes sharing the profile could fail mid-run with `401 … jti reused`
2241- Fixed MCP server OAuth sign-in failing with "No available ports for OAuth redirect" when the local callback port range can't be bound
2242- Fixed the conversation summary produced by `/compact` and auto-compact mangling text that contained `$` sequences
2243- Fixed resuming a conversation that ended with `/compact`: its restored-file notes now load in the same order on every resume
2244- Fixed SDK prompt suggestions, side questions and `/rename` sending the conversation from before a compaction
2245- Fixed `@` file and `/` command suggestions not appearing after recalling a previous prompt with the up arrow and editing it
2246- 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
2247- 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
2248- Fixed background agent and workflow rows in the agents panel expanding to many lines when their text contained line breaks
2249- Fixed Claude in Slack sessions losing their Slack tools when org managed settings set an MCP allowlist
2250- 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
2251- 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
2252- Fixed the `/bug` and `/feedback` description field showing no cursor when the terminal's native cursor is enabled
2253- Fixed Remote Control sessions served by `claude remote-control` showing a generated name instead of their session title in `ListAgents`
2254- Fixed `claude plugin validate` rejecting plugin paths whose directory name begins with two dots, which the plugin loader accepts
2255- Fixed plugins silently skipping a default monitors file or root SKILL.md that could not be checked
2256- Fixed WebFetch's error for localhost and other dotless hostnames to explain why the URL is refused and suggest curl
2257- Fixed PermissionRequest hooks not firing in `--print` mode
2258- Fixed policy-helper warnings not printing on headless (`-p`) runs
2259- Fixed `/resume` listing a `/fork` background session under its parent's name instead of its own `⑂` fork name
2260- Fixed `/remote-control` and other claude.ai-gated commands to suggest `/login` when signed out instead of showing a Claude for Enterprise migration message
2261- 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)
2262- 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
2263- Fixed cloud-session commands such as `/teleport` and `/remote-env` to explain when an organization policy turns them off, instead of answering "Unknown command"
2264- 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
2265- 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
2266- Improved `--continue` / `--resume`: the conversation appears immediately instead of waiting for SessionStart hooks, and the first message no longer re-reads the whole transcript
2267- Improved responsiveness during tool-heavy turns by no longer redrawing the transcript for a hidden per-tool-batch reminder
2268- Improved startup time in projects with `.claude/workflows/` scripts: listing them no longer parses each script
2269- 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
2270- Improved Claude in Chrome: long page reads now stay inline instead of being saved to a file and read back
2271- Improved the MEMORY.md truncation warning to say how many lines were cut and where the cut starts
2272- Improved the terminal permission prompt for artifacts: it now leads with the ask's question
2273- 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
2274- Improved the "Usage credits required for 1M context" message to say that usage credits turned on mid-session take effect after restarting Claude Code
2275- Improved `/plugin`: installing, enabling or disabling a plugin now takes effect when you close the menu; `/reload-plugins` is no longer needed afterwards
2276- Changed the system prompt on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry to deliver environment, model and settings details as attachments, matching first-party sessions
2277- 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
2278- 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
2279- Changed the artifact data-edit permission prompt in the terminal to a card that shows the document count and who can open the artifact
2280- 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
2281- 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
2282- Changed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice to announce each server once instead of at every launch
2283- [VSCode] Fixed the session list, settings toggles, and chat tabs when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set in a settings file or the `environmentVariables` setting
2284- [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
2285- [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`
2286- [VSCode] Fixed session names reverting to the last prompt after a window reload when a SessionStart hook is configured
2287- [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
2288- [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
2289- [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"
2290- [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
2291- [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
2292- [VSCode] Added Left and Right arrow keys to change where an always-allow permission rule is saved, for keyboard and screen reader users
2293- [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
2294- [VSCode] Changed the Manage plugins dialog to apply installs, enables, disables and uninstalls to open sessions without a restart
2295- [VSCode] Changed some artifact permission prompts to omit the "don't ask again" choice, matching the terminal
2296- [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
2297- [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
2298- [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
2299- [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
2300- [Claude Tag] Added a link from a Slack channel's configure page back to the organization's Claude in Slack admin settings
2301- [Claude Tag] Fixed a Slack Enterprise Grid channel losing its Claude settings (repository, environment, access) after a Slack admin moved it to another workspace
2302- [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
2303- [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
2304- [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
2305- [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
2306- [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
2307- [Claude Tag] Fixed Markdown links whose URL is wrapped in angle brackets showing as literal bracket text in Slack instead of a clickable link
2308- [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
2309- [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
2310- [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
2311- [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
2312- [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
2313- [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
2314- [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
2315- [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
2316
2317## 2.1.267
2318
2319- 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
2320- 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)
2321- Fixed Cowork scheduled tasks in the cloud failing at startup for organizations whose managed settings require sandboxing
2322- Fixed `/context` and other local command output rendering blank on mobile clients
2323- Fixed shift+enter and option+backspace not working after reconnecting to a tmux or ssh session inside an agent view
2324- Fixed the dim last-prompt header not appearing at the top of the conversation when scrolling up in fullscreen mode
2325- Fixed Workflow `agent()` calls with large output schemas being refused in auto mode instead of being checked by the safety classifier
2326- Fixed a case where a marketplace entry path containing a backslash could bypass the containment check for fetched marketplaces on macOS and Linux
2327- 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
2328- 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
2329- Fixed resuming a large session (transcript over 5 MB): parallel tool calls and their hook output are no longer dropped from the reloaded conversation
2330- Fixed managed `allowedHttpHookUrls`, `httpHookAllowedEnvVars` and `allowedChannelPlugins` to admit nothing, not everything, when unreadable
2331- Fixed `/login` on machines whose managed settings require Claude apps gateway sign-in: Esc now closes the dialog instead of doing nothing
2332- 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
2333- 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)
2334- 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
2335- Fixed `claude agents` `@` directory menu not listing repositories created after the session started
2336- Fixed Remote Control clients that join a Claude Desktop or VS Code session showing a stale permission mode until it was changed again
2337- 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
2338- Fixed the usage-limit warning flickering on and off during a session when requests for different models or modes report different limit windows
2339- Fixed earlier reasoning being dropped when an MCP server re-sends, or a built-in tool re-renders, a tool the model already loaded
2340- Fixed a tool that disappears mid-conversation, from a disconnected MCP server or an upgrade, rewriting the tool list and discarding earlier thinking
2341- Fixed a background worker forked from a conversation adding EnterWorktree to the conversation's tool block mid-session, which broke prompt-cache reuse
2342- 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
2343- 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
2344- Fixed resumed sessions rewriting the inline tool set when an MCP connector reconnects at a different moment than before
2345- Fixed resumed sessions re-rendering tool descriptions instead of replaying the recorded ones when the first turn ran a tool
2346- Fixed prompt-cache misses and dropped extended thinking when a claude.ai connector's tools change between a session and its resume
2347- Fixed resumed sessions rewriting earlier MCP tool announcements (and dropping extended thinking) before their connectors reconnect
2348- Fixed a prompt-cache break when a print-mode (`-p`) conversation is resumed interactively: the system prompt prefix no longer changes
2349- 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
2350- Improved the Bash tool's description guidance so Claude describes what a command does in plain words instead of echoing the command
2351- Improved sandbox guidance so Claude suggests `/copy` when clipboard commands such as `pbcopy` fail inside the sandbox
2352- Improved `--resume` first-render time for sessions with many Bash tool calls
2353- Improved prompt input responsiveness: keystrokes no longer occasionally wait a frame behind spinner or streaming repaints
2354- 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
2355- Improved Artifact tool publish errors: when a publish is refused, the message now says why and what to do about it
2356- 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
2357- 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
2358- [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
2359- [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
2360- [VSCode] Fixed chat diff blocks always rendering with a dark editor theme; they now follow the active VS Code color theme, including high contrast
2361- [VSCode] Fixed mixed right-to-left and English text rendering in the wrong order while typing in the message input
2362- [VSCode] Fixed accepting an edit in the diff view on a file with Windows (CRLF) line endings failing with "String not found in file"
2363- [VSCode] Fixed @-mentions dropping files whose paths contain spaces
2364- [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
2365- [VSCode] Fixed runaway ripgrep processes when viewing files in large or symlink-heavy workspaces
2366- [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
2367- [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
2368- [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
2369- [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
2370- [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
2371- [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
2372
2373## 2.1.266
2374
2375- 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
2376
2377## 2.1.265
2378
2379- Added `user.email` and `user.groups` to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway, matching terminal sessions
2380- 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
2381- Added a 1 GB cap on tool results saved to disk; the in-conversation preview says when a saved file was truncated
2382- Fixed resuming a foreground-spawned subagent changing its tool list and system prompt prefix, which broke prompt-cache reuse for that agent
2383- 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
2384- 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
2385- Fixed `/model opusplan[1m]` being rejected with "Model not found"
2386- Fixed syntax-highlighted code in permission prompts and messages sometimes omitting a character after a Ruby `?`, Erlang `$`, or Perl `$` sigil
2387- Fixed the fullscreen transcript jumping by one row whenever the slash-command or @-file suggestion list opened or closed
2388- Fixed a plugin path containing a backslash bypassing the symlink containment check on macOS and Linux
2389- Fixed plugin directories whose names begin with two dots being wrongly refused as outside the plugin root
2390- Fixed VS Code and SDK sessions occasionally requiring re-login when a session was closed while refreshing its token
2391- 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
2392- Fixed background (`--bg`) sessions occasionally being retired mid-turn when a message arrived just before the idle timeout
2393- Fixed Claude Code's own git status and diff probes running clean filters configured by a nested repository inside the working tree
2394- 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
2395- 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
2396- 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
2397- 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
2398- Fixed forked skills (`context: fork`) not streaming their kickoff prompt and, with `--forward-subagent-text`, their text turns as progress events in stream-json
2399- 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
2400- 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
2401- 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`
2402- 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
2403- 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
2404- Fixed `/clear` from Remote Control waiting on SessionStart hooks and on open terminal dialogs before completing
2405- Fixed the `/config` dialog changing height when switching between its tabs
2406- 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
2407- Fixed the `claude-api` skill's error-code reference: model access failures return 404 and unavailable beta headers return 400, not 403
2408- 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
2409- 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
2410- 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)
2411- Fixed remote sessions keeping their sandbox container alive while a connector approval or sign-in link waits for you
2412- Fixed resumed sessions showing long model-facing recovery instructions in "background task didn't finish" notices instead of a short status line
2413- 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
2414- Improved `--worktree` startup on large repositories: the new worktree is now checked out in parallel (git 2.32+)
2415- 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
2416- 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
2417- Improved remote MCP servers that need sign-in: Claude Code no longer registers an OAuth client with them until you actually authenticate
2418- Improved the time to resume long sessions that read many files
2419- 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
2420- 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
2421- 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
2422- 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
2423- 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
2424- 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`
2425- 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
2426- [VSCode] Added automatic archiving of sessions inactive for a set period (new "Archive inactive sessions" setting, default 14 days)
2427- [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
2428- [VSCode] Fixed the timeline dot sitting below the text on the "Remote Control is active" message
2429
2430## 2.1.263
2431
2432- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2433
2434## 2.1.261
2435
2436- 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
2437- 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
2438- 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
2439- Added `/skill-doctor` to show which loaded skills go unused and what they cost in context, so you can prune them
2440- Fixed typed or pasted characters occasionally landing out of order or being dropped during fast input or key repeat
2441- Fixed `/add-dir <subdirectory>` printing a false "couldn't be resolved" error when the working directory is on a `/net` automount
2442- 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
2443- 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
2444- Fixed being unable to delete the character immediately before an inline `[Image #N]` chip in the prompt input
2445- Fixed resuming a session losing hook output and other context around parallel tool calls, which changed the resumed request
2446- 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
2447- 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`
2448- 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
2449- Fixed Remote Control uploading a session pulled with `/teleport` into the connected session, which appeared appended to the original on phone and web
2450- Fixed Remote Control's inbound event stream failing behind TLS-inspecting corporate proxies on native Windows
2451- Fixed Remote Control sessions showing the default effort level on claude.ai when the effort comes from settings
2452- Fixed `gcpAuthRefresh` opening a browser at startup when the Google credential check was slow, even though the credential was still valid
2453- Fixed claude.ai connectors staying absent for the whole session when the startup connector fetch timed out — the CLI now retries in the background
2454- Fixed sustained high CPU usage when a background agent could not be resumed and its wake-up was retried in a tight loop
2455- Fixed feature flags gated to a newer version occasionally applying to an older Claude Code version running on the same machine
2456- 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
2457- Fixed `claude -p --resume <file>` adopting a malformed session ID recorded in the transcript; it now resumes under a fresh session ID instead
2458- Fixed the terminal progress indicator (iTerm2, Ghostty, ConEmu) showing the session as finished while a background workflow or agent was still running
2459- Fixed a rare layout glitch where a box could render with the wrong height after its container switched between row and column direction
2460- 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
2461- 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
2462- Fixed Desktop and web showing a session as busy while it only watches an artifact for updates
2463- Fixed Claude in Chrome `file_upload` failing with "paths: expected array, received undefined" in local Cowork sessions run from the Claude Desktop app
2464- 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
2465- 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
2466- 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
2467- 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
2468- 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
2469- Improved streaming performance: already-rendered blocks are no longer re-checked by layout on each update
2470- Improved the dangerous-`rm` safety prompt to also catch `rm -rf` on positional parameters and inside double-quoted `sh -c` scripts
2471- 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
2472- 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
2473- 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
2474- 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
2475- 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
2476- Changed `/context` token counting to use a local estimate when the token-counting API is unavailable, instead of extra small-model requests
2477- [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
2478- [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
2479- [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
2480- [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
2481- [VSCode] Added "Archive session" to the session list's right-click menu and gave Unarchive its own icon
2482- [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
2483- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename box opening empty for a tab restored with the window; it now starts with the current name
2484- [VSCode] Fixed collapsed sections in the session list panel briefly showing expanded each time the panel loaded
2485- [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
2486- [VSCode] Fixed the session list's active-row highlight going stale when an unfocused Claude tab's session ID is corrected
2487- [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
2488- [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
2489- [VSCode] Fixed the model picker showing models an organization has since disabled until the window was reloaded twice
2490- [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
2491- [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
2492- [VSCode] Fixed the pending question card not reappearing after the Claude panel reloads when signed in with a Claude.ai or Console account
2493- [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
2494- [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
2495- [VSCode] Fixed the next queued permission prompt keeping text typed on the previous prompt and accepting an immediate second click
2496- [VSCode] Fixed install-plugin links opening the Claude sidebar without the install dialog in a window where only the session list had been shown
2497- [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
2498- [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
2499- [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
2500- [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" so flipping it also applies right away to sessions open in other VS Code windows
2501- [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
2502- [VSCode] Changed the model picker to one flat list of every model, with rows kept for older model spellings listed last
2503
2504## 2.1.260
2505
2506- Added a diff panel that opens beside the conversation in fullscreen mode and shows your uncommitted changes as Claude edits; toggle it with `/diff`
2507- 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
2508- Added `/reload-plugins` to headless sessions, so it appears in the Claude Code Desktop and SDK command lists
2509- Added a text form of `/advisor` (`/advisor`, `/advisor <model>`, `/advisor off`) for the desktop app, Remote Control, and other headless (`-p`/Agent SDK) sessions
2510- 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
2511- Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in `desktop` policy blocks, including `userPluginMarketplacesEnabled` and `userPluginUploadsEnabled`
2512- 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
2513- 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
2514- 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
2515- 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
2516- Fixed `permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories` on macOS hiding the user's git config from sandboxed git and hiding a worktree-isolated sub-agent's own checkout
2517- Fixed managed settings not loading for claude.ai Enterprise/Team users who also had a leftover API key from an earlier `/login`
2518- 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
2519- 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`
2520- Fixed `model: fable` agents ignoring the `[1m]` tag on an `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_FABLE_MODEL` pin and silently running with a 200K context window
2521- 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`
2522- 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
2523- 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
2524- Fixed model switching being blocked for the session when an organization-managed plugin's marketplace could not be loaded
2525- Fixed SDK-provided MCP servers (e.g. Desktop connectors) sometimes missing from the first turn and only appearing on the next one
2526- Fixed Claude in Chrome tools failing with "Not connected" mid-task in cloud-hosted claude.ai sessions when a connector was added or removed
2527- 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 `…`)
2528- 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
2529- Fixed `/rewind` and `--rewind-files` reporting success when checkpoint backup files were missing and nothing was actually restored
2530- 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
2531- 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
2532- 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)
2533- 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
2534- 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
2535- Fixed intermittent "task output swap refused" errors when many sessions share a project directory
2536- Fixed Ctrl+Z in fullscreen leaving the shell on the alternate screen, drawn over the paused interface
2537- Fixed Workflow tool subagents being restarted as stalled while a long context compaction was still in progress
2538- 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
2539- 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)
2540- Fixed the Artifact tool's first call failing with an "Invalid tool parameters" validation error in some Cowork sessions
2541- Fixed IDE line selections being dropped when running a skill or slash command (the "N lines selected" context now reaches Claude)
2542- Fixed repository detection for GitLab projects in nested subgroups (e.g. `gitlab.com/group/subgroup/project`)
2543- 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
2544- 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
2545- 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
2546- 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
2547- 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
2548- Improved the Claude apps gateway's refresh-failure log to name the step that failed
2549- Improved idle CPU usage of non-interactive (`-p` / SDK) sessions
2550- 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
2551- 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
2552- 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
2553- Improved `/ultrareview` and `claude ultrareview` to wait up to 45 minutes (previously 30) for long-running cloud reviews
2554- Improved `/effort` on Claude Fable 5.1 so changing effort mid-session no longer invalidates the prompt cache
2555- 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
2556- Changed `ctrl+l` / `cmd+k` in fullscreen mode to clear the transcript view like a terminal `clear`; scroll up to see earlier messages
2557- 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
2558- 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
2559- 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
2560- Changed Claude apps gateway to send `orgPluginSettings` in the list form read by Claude Desktop 1.15200.0 and later; older desktops ignore it
2561- 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
2562- 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
2563- 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
2564- 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
2565- [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
2566- [VSCode] Added Open and Closed to the session list's status filter menu
2567- [VSCode] Fixed the welcome screen disappearing in a new session when Remote Control turns on automatically
2568- [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
2569- [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename command silently doing nothing while the tab's view was reloading; it now always applies
2570- [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
2571- [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" not applying to a session tab that was still starting when the toggle was flipped
2572
2573## 2.1.259
2574
2575- 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
2576- 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
2577- 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
2578- Added `--json` to `claude plugin validate` for a machine-readable validation report
2579- 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
2580- Fixed a conversation whose thinking was rejected once being rejected again on every later turn
2581- 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
2582- Fixed the prompt cache being invalidated when the OAuth token refreshed in sessions with telemetry disabled
2583- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank conversation after a long turn with hundreds of tool calls
2584- 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
2585- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS` being ignored for Vertex-style model IDs (`@YYYYMMDD` suffix) of model versions Claude Code doesn't recognize
2586- Fixed the live output preview of a running shell command hiding its newest lines when an earlier line wrapped
2587- Fixed a background GitHub connection check that ran on every launch for claude.ai users; the result is now remembered across launches
2588- Fixed `--resume` failing (and `--continue` opening an empty conversation) when a saved session contains an attachment entry with no payload
2589- Fixed frontmatter `model:` on custom commands and skills being ignored in interactive sessions
2590- Fixed Artifact publishing failing once with an "unexpected parameter `note`" error in conversations continued from an older version
2591- Fixed managed `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` being ignored at startup when a policy helper configured by MDM or the managed settings file had already run
2592- Fixed worktree isolation refusing hook-created worktrees on machines where `git rev-parse` fails with a message other than "not a git repository"
2593- Fixed OpenTelemetry metrics and events from cloud sessions missing the `user.email`, `organization.id`, and `user.account_uuid` attributes
2594- Fixed MCP servers that disconnect while their tools are being listed at startup showing as connected with no tools instead of reporting the error
2595- Fixed the file edit permission dialog sometimes showing a changed line cut short with no indication
2596- Fixed repository detection dropping a known repo identity after a transient git probe failure
2597- 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
2598- 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
2599- Fixed resuming a workflow run while its previous stopped run was still exiting, which could run duplicate copies of its agents
2600- Fixed marketplace repo URLs on github.com with a trailing slash or dangling `?`/`#` producing an unusable `.git` clone URL
2601- 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
2602- Fixed remote (claude.ai) sessions taking 60 seconds to start a turn after a browser-hosted MCP server's page had gone away
2603- Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing common Bash loops, xargs pipelines and launcher-wrapped commands that cannot reach the main checkout
2604- Improved terminal resize and first-render performance for long responses by reusing text measurements
2605- Improved `/workflows` agent detail: JSON outcomes are pretty-printed with syntax colors and real line breaks, and long outcomes fold behind an expand toggle
2606- Improved headless/SDK session start: the first turn begins up to 50 ms sooner when MCP servers finish connecting
2607- Improved `/install-github-app` to explain it is GitHub-only and point to the GitLab CI/CD docs when run inside a GitLab repository
2608- 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
2609- 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
2610- [VSCode] Added an Active quick filter and a status filter menu (Needs input, Working, Completed) to the session list sidebar
2611- Fixed remote and scheduled sessions doing nothing after a connector-tool permission prompt was approved while the session was paused
2612
2613## 2.1.258
2614
2615- Fixed Claude Code failing to launch on macOS 12 (Monterey), a regression introduced in 2.1.255
2616- Fixed remote and scheduled sessions failing with "user messages must have non-empty content" after a re-sent permission approval could not be applied
2617
2618## 2.1.257
2619
2620- 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
2621- 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
2622- 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
2623- 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
2624- Added `s` in `/effort` to change effort for the current session only, matching `/model`
2625- Added a `/doctor` warning for stale sandbox mask files left by a killed session
2626- 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`)
2627- 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"
2628- Fixed settings in a `.claude/` folder created after startup not being picked up until restart
2629- 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`
2630- 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
2631- 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
2632- Fixed the working spinner stopping while a response streams behind a slash-command panel
2633- Fixed a background session's `state.json` `detail` repeating its own dispatch prompt after a scheduled wake-up
2634- Fixed `claude agents` keeping a background session you re-prompted buried in Completed after it finished again; Completed now orders by the latest finish
2635- 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
2636- Fixed Remote Control connecting mid-session re-sending the Bash tool definition, causing a prompt-cache miss
2637- 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`
2638- 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
2639- Fixed a leftover Anthropic API key or auth token being sent alongside your Foundry subscription key in API-key mode
2640- Fixed `/schedule` routines whose prompt was saved without a message role and then ran with nothing to do
2641- Fixed `claude agents` not saying that a background session is waiting for you to approve a message from another session, or who sent it
2642- 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
2643- Fixed telemetry (OTEL) settings pushed through server-managed settings being ignored on warm starts, including desktop-app Code sessions
2644- Fixed a teammate permission request being answered twice when the leader's mailbox write was briefly locked
2645- Fixed a phantom duplicate slash-command row rendering below the in-flight turn while a command's auto-continued response streamed
2646- Fixed `policyHelper` `timeoutMs` and `refreshIntervalMs` values above the timer maximum (2147483647) causing failures or re-runs every millisecond; they are now clamped
2647- 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
2648- 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
2649- Fixed dismissing the Remote Control consent prompt (Esc, or `n` at `claude remote-control`) counting as consent, so the next request connected without asking
2650- 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
2651- Fixed `claude mcp remove` leaving a remote server's stored OAuth credentials behind when `strictPluginOnlyCustomization` locks MCP to plugin-only servers
2652- Fixed Remote Control (`claude remote-control`) sessions started from the Claude app ignoring the selected model and running on the machine's default instead
2653- Fixed `--disallowedTools` and session deny rules being dropped after the first settings reload when `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly` is enabled
2654- Fixed `--resume` listing a backgrounded conversation twice and `--continue` reopening its stalled pre-background copy; `--continue` now also opens finished background sessions
2655- Fixed fullscreen mode not letting you click `!` shell command output to expand it
2656- Fixed background sessions left running an older Claude Code binary piling up across auto-updates instead of being retired
2657- Fixed `claude agents --json` briefly switching the terminal to raw mode and undoing another program's terminal settings on exit
2658- 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
2659- 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
2660- 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
2661- 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
2662- 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
2663- 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
2664- 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
2665- 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
2666- Fixed the main agent not being told when you resume a subagent you had stopped from its transcript view
2667- Fixed a crash when pasting ANSI-colored text (e.g. a CI log) into dialogs like `/feedback`
2668- 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
2669- 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
2670- 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
2671- 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
2672- Fixed resuming or messaging a subagent whose transcript had grown past 5 MB (for example after reading many images) failing with "No transcript found"
2673- 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"
2674- Fixed `/model` and `/effort` showing a prompt-cache warning after rewinding a conversation back to empty
2675- Fixed prompt-cache misses on every turn in long screenshot-heavy sessions once images exceeded the per-request size cap
2676- Fixed the Edit permission prompt's diff view rendering emoji and multi-code-point characters with incorrect widths
2677- Fixed WebSocket MCP server connection failures being logged as "[object ErrorEvent]" instead of the underlying error
2678- 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
2679- Fixed background commands that detach from their shell (for example under `timeout` or `setsid`) surviving a task stop or Claude Code exit
2680- Fixed Claude not being told when you stop a background command from the tasks panel or a connected client
2681- Fixed stopping a background subagent leaving its monitors running
2682- Fixed sandboxed git commands in a linked worktree losing write access to the repository's common `.git` directory after `cd` into a subdirectory
2683- 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
2684- 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
2685- 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
2686- Fixed leftover `cc-daemon-*` folders in the system temp directory after an interrupted background daemon start; the `cleanupPeriodDays` retention sweep now removes them
2687- Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving certain `[[ ]]` conditionals that zsh parses differently from bash; these commands now prompt for approval
2688- 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
2689- Fixed agent-team teammates in tmux/iTerm2 panes sometimes staying open after acknowledging a shutdown request
2690- 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
2691- 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
2692- Improved prompt input responsiveness by reducing per-keystroke rendering work
2693- 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
2694- Improved `/code-review --comment` to post findings on GitLab merge requests via `glab mr note` instead of reporting the target as unsupported
2695- 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
2696- Improved verbose/transcript output: async hook completion notices that arrive together now appear on one line instead of one line per hook
2697- 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
2698- 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
2699- Improved MCP connection and OAuth debug/error logs so credentials carried in a server's URL or request headers are redacted
2700- 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
2701- Improved emoji autocomplete to accept the remaining GitHub/Slack shortcode aliases (`:satisfied:`, `:telephone:`, `:collision:`, …)
2702- 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
2703- 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
2704- 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
2705- 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
2706- 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
2707- Changed `/btw` history browsing from `←`/`→` to `Shift+←`/`Shift+→` (or `[`/`]`), stepping through your recent side questions and back to the live answer
2708- 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`
2709- 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
2710- 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
2711- 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
2712- Changed Cowork and claude.ai cloud sessions: reading an artifact that isn't yours now always asks you first, even in auto mode
2713- Removed the Ctrl+E command explanation on Bash and PowerShell permission prompts
2714- [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
2715- [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
2716- [VSCode] Added a collapse toggle to the Ungrouped section of the session list
2717- [VSCode] Added output style selection to the command menu, including custom styles
2718- [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
2719- [VSCode] Fixed the session list panel's usage meter staying blank after the panel loads; it now shows the last known usage immediately
2720- [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
2721- [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
2722- [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
2723- [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
2724
2725## 2.1.252
2726
2727- Fixed Bash commands failing with "task output swap refused (tasks dir moved or linked)" on some Macs
2728- Fixed "always allow" not saving in a project that has no .claude/settings.local.json yet
2729- 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
2730- 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
2731
2732## 2.1.251
2733
2734- 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
2735- Added live streaming of a foreground subagent's tool calls and results to Remote Control clients (background subagents, the default, still show status only)
2736- 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
2737- 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
2738- 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
2739- 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
2740- 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
2741- 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
2742- Fixed the Workflow tool reading (and quoting in errors) a `scriptPath` outside what the session may read before the permission check ran
2743- Fixed Grep and Glob not applying `Read(...)` deny rules to files reached through a symlinked search path
2744- Fixed conversations getting stuck on "text content blocks must be non-empty" errors after a turn where the model produced only thinking
2745- Fixed the first launch on a fresh install starting in default mode instead of auto mode for accounts whose startup default is auto mode
2746- 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
2747- 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"
2748- Fixed TUI lag with many parallel subagents: per-second progress ticks now replace their predecessor instead of piling up in the transcript
2749- 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
2750- 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)
2751- Fixed managed-settings `disableAutoMode` arriving mid-session not moving an already-running auto-mode session back to default mode
2752- 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
2753- 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
2754- Fixed cloud sessions telling Claude the model had changed when the host was only setting the session's initial model
2755- Fixed Remote Control reporting a failure when an organization's policy disables it; it now shows a single quiet notice instead
2756- 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
2757- 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
2758- Fixed session transcripts being silently overwritten when a directory change relocated a session onto an existing same-ID transcript
2759- Fixed background sessions and their subagents being unable to edit files inside a git worktree they created with `git worktree add`
2760- 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
2761- 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
2762- 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
2763- Fixed self-hosted runner leaving a stuck session's Bash tool processes running after the session was force-stopped
2764- 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
2765- 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
2766- Fixed Ctrl+G failing with "Emacs quit unexpectedly" in background sessions for editors that open `/dev/tty`, such as `emacs -nw` and `micro`
2767- 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
2768- Fixed the MCP server menu's copy shortcut: it now says how the sign-in URL was copied instead of always claiming success
2769- 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
2770- Fixed `claude mcp add --header` and `claude mcp add-json` help text naming the wrong transports
2771- 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
2772- 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
2773- 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
2774- 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
2775- 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
2776- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt re-appearing after signing in again to the same Claude apps gateway when the settings are unchanged
2777- 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
2778- Fixed cloud session creation advising GitHub setup after a transient GitHub connection failure — the message now says to retry instead
2779- Improved CPU usage during turns in interactive sessions by cutting redundant UI re-renders
2780- Improved install size: the native binary is about 5 MB smaller
2781- 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"
2782- 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
2783- Improved framing of messages from your own subagents: Claude is told the sender is a worker inside this session, not an unrelated Claude session
2784- Improved the prompt placeholder to read "Message @name…" while viewing a background subagent or fork transcript opened from the subagent panel or `/tasks`
2785- Improved sanitization of MCP server names in error messages, menus, and command results
2786- 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
2787- Improved the managed settings approval dialog to list only the settings that changed since you last approved them
2788- 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
2789- Changed `/radio` to be available on Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, and when telemetry is disabled
2790- 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
2791- 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
2792- 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`)
2793- Changed the default model for seat-based Enterprise subscriptions to Opus 5, matching other premium plans
2794- Changed `/effort` to save your default effort level per model, so each model keeps its own setting when you switch
2795- 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`
2796- 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`
2797- 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
2798- 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
2799- 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
2800- 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`)
2801- 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
2802- Removed syntax highlighting for six rarely used languages (1c, gml, isbl, mathematica, maxima, sqf); the binary is 2.5 MB smaller
2803- [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
2804- [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`
2805
2806## 2.1.250
2807
2808- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
2809
2810## 2.1.248
2811
2812- 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
2813- Added `experimental.cacheTtl` (`"5m"` or `"1h"`) to agent frontmatter: a per-agent prompt cache TTL used when no subagent TTL setting is configured
2814- Added `claude self-hosted-runner --client-label <label>` (or `SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_CLIENT_LABEL`) to override the label the runner registers with (default: hostname)
2815- 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`)
2816- 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
2817- 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
2818- Added cross-session messaging (`SendMessage` / `ListAgents`) between sessions on the same machine on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, and when telemetry is disabled
2819- 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
2820- 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
2821- 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
2822- 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
2823- 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
2824- 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
2825- 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
2826- Fixed `claude agents` skipping the workspace trust prompt when the `CI` environment variable is set
2827- Fixed `claude agents` crashing on launch when the PR-status cache held a malformed entry
2828- 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
2829- Fixed agent view sometimes opening an older conversation, and dropping the typed prompt, when starting a new session
2830- 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
2831- 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
2832- 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
2833- 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
2834- 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
2835- 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
2836- Fixed `/login` to a Claude apps gateway hanging when the managed-settings security approval dialog was required
2837- Fixed gateway model discovery (`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY`) never running when `apiKeyHelper` is the only credential
2838- Fixed `claude logs` leaving mouse tracking, bracketed paste and the alternate screen switched on in the terminal it was run from
2839- 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
2840- 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
2841- 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
2842- Fixed Remote Control sessions occasionally never showing a permission prompt or the latest messages on the connected device after the CLI silently reconnected
2843- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally failing at startup when the container's session credentials were not yet readable
2844- Fixed `claude remote-control` rejecting its own flags (e.g. `--spawn`, `--name`) when a global flag or a wrapper-injected option precedes the subcommand
2845- Fixed startup warnings (e.g. "N MCP servers need authentication") rendering one column right of the rest of the transcript
2846- 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
2847- Fixed @-mentions of other sessions not matching names typed with non-Latin characters (for example Korean entered through an IME)
2848- 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
2849- 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`)
2850- [VSCode] Fixed a chat tab getting stuck on "No conversation found" when its session was never saved; it now starts a new conversation instead
2851- 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
2852- 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
2853- Improved managed settings: client-side timeout, MCP startup-mode, and stream-watchdog env vars no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
2854- 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
2855- 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
2856- Changed shift+enter in the agent view dispatch input to insert a newline (matching the prompt); ctrl+enter now dispatches and attaches
2857- Changed `/loop`: self-paced dynamic mode and the no-prompt autonomous default are now always available, including on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
2858- 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
2859- Changed cross-session messaging in Linux user namespaces: root-equivalent trust for unmapped owners is limited to canonical system directories
2860- 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
2861
2862## 2.1.247
2863
2864- 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)
2865- Added `{id, text, cooldownSessions, priority}` entries, `tipsFile`, and `label` to `spinnerTipsOverride`, so organizations can rotate their own tips alongside the built-in ones
2866- Added a tip on Bash permission prompts pointing to auto mode, with a one-keystroke "Yes, and switch to auto mode" option
2867- 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
2868- Updated the `/claude-api` skill with Admin API coverage (organization members, invites, workspaces, API keys, rate limit reports, workload identity federation, CMEK)
2869- 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`
2870- 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
2871- 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"
2872- Fixed Ctrl keyboard shortcuts not firing under non-Latin (e.g. Cyrillic) keyboard layouts in kitty-protocol terminals
2873- Fixed text like `<35;150;7M` being inserted into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across reads right after the escape prefix
2874- 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
2875- Fixed `/terminal-setup` overwriting your entire Zed `keymap.json` instead of merging in its keybinding
2876- Fixed `/rename` silently confirming when the session registry could not be updated; it now says other sessions may still show the old name
2877- Fixed `/compact` and "Summarize from here" in sessions started with `--agent` summarizing under the default system prompt instead of the conversation's own
2878- 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
2879- 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
2880- 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
2881- 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
2882- 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
2883- Fixed Remote Control sessions started with `/remote-control` not reporting the working-tree diff to connected clients
2884- 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
2885- 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
2886- 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
2887- 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
2888- 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
2889- 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
2890- 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
2891- 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
2892- 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
2893- Changed the prompt-footer PR badge to skip its GitHub re-check on terminal refocus when the last check is under a minute old
2894- Changed analytics to stay off from startup, not only after login, when managed settings force gateway login or a custom OAuth deployment is configured
2895- 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)
2896- 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
2897
2898## 2.1.246
2899
2900- 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
2901- Added an Auto mode tab to `/permissions` for viewing and editing auto mode classifier rules
2902- Added the turn's completion time to the end-of-turn duration line, e.g. `✻ Sautéed for 23s · done 6:05 PM`
2903- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank transcript after resizing the terminal and jumping to the bottom until the next keypress
2904- 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
2905- Fixed erratic fullscreen scrolling when positioned at an earlier message, including jump-to-bottom getting stuck mid-transcript
2906- 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
2907- 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
2908- Fixed markdown rendering being disabled for a whole message when its first 500 characters contained no markdown, and for `+`/`N)` lists and setext headings
2909- 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
2910- Fixed MCP tool arguments being sent as JSON strings when the parameter's schema is empty (`{}`), instead of their real type
2911- Fixed a command interrupted mid-run showing as "Ran 1 shell command" with no sign it was cut
2912- Fixed pressing ← or running `/background` during a dynamic workflow restarting its finished subagents; it now asks first and says how many subagents would restart
2913- 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"
2914- Fixed `claude agents` listing a backgrounded named session twice; backgrounding the same conversation again now numbers the new row (e.g. `my-session (2)`)
2915- Fixed the background retention sweep removing git worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` that you created yourself when an old background-session record pointed at them
2916- Fixed auto mode tool calls being denied as "temporarily unavailable" on very large sessions by scaling the safety-check deadline with prompt size
2917- Fixed the plugin cache creating duplicate SHA-named directories for the same plugin
2918- Fixed plugin skills whose frontmatter `name` already includes the `<plugin>:` prefix showing it doubled in the slash menu (e.g. `/plugin:plugin:skill`)
2919- Fixed `claude plugin update` failing for an installed plugin given its bare name (only the fully-qualified name worked)
2920- Fixed plugin installation failing when `plugin.json` was saved with a UTF-8 byte-order mark (BOM)
2921- Fixed `/reload-plugins` reporting 0 skills for plugins that define skills under `skills/*/SKILL.md`
2922- Fixed hook error messages showing a literal `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` instead of the resolved plugin path
2923- 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`
2924- Fixed custom theme diff colors (`diffAdded`/`diffRemoved` and their dimmed variants) being ignored in diffs and the `/theme` preview
2925- 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`
2926- Fixed `/stats` activity heatmap showing each day's activity one cell off (Sunday's count under Monday) in timezones east of UTC
2927- Fixed `/fork` from an already-forked or backgrounded session starting the new session with an empty conversation
2928- Fixed prompts beginning with `/--` (e.g. Lean doc comments) being rejected as an unknown slash command instead of being sent to Claude
2929- Fixed the `@` file picker staying open after the typed text stopped matching a real path
2930- Fixed the status line's cost and duration resetting to zero after navigating to the agents view and back
2931- 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
2932- Fixed path completion failing when the completion token or working directory contained a null byte
2933- Windows/macOS: Fixed headless sessions not cleaning up stale entries in `~/.claude/sessions` left by sessions that exited uncleanly
2934- 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`
2935- 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
2936- 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
2937- 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)
2938- 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
2939- 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
2940- Fixed the `Notification` hook not firing while the sandbox "Network request outside of sandbox" permission prompt is waiting
2941- Fixed Bash permission checks to always require approval for malformed commands with a dangling `&&` or `||` operator
2942- Fixed `--strict-mcp-config` sessions prompting to approve `.mcp.json` servers they would never load, which left background sessions waiting at startup
2943- 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
2944- 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
2945- 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
2946- 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
2947- Fixed the task progress count (e.g. `3/5`) shown for background cloud sessions such as `/autofix-pr` occasionally missing a task
2948- 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
2949- 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
2950- 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
2951- 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`
2952- Improved Bash tool latency on bash shells by replaying snapshot functions without a base64 subshell per function
2953- 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
2954- 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
2955- 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
2956- 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
2957- `/goal`: Changed idle sessions to start at most three check-ins on long-running background work per goal; your next message allows three more
2958- Changed `claude install` and `claude update` to defer a pending managed-settings consent prompt to the next interactive session instead of prompting mid-command
2959- 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
2960- Fixed the command sandbox's filesystem configuration not respecting `--setting-sources`
2961
2962## 2.1.245
2963
2964- Fixed a crash on startup on Linux distributions that ship glibc 2.44 (for example Arch Linux, CachyOS and Fedora Rawhide)
2965
2966## 2.1.243
2967
2968- 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
2969- 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
2970- 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
2971- 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
2972- 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
2973- 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
2974- Added a `managed` marker in `/mcp` and `/plugins` on claude.ai connectors whose authentication is managed by your organization
2975- Added a tip pointing claude.ai users who haven't connected GitHub for Claude Code on the web to `/web-setup`
2976- 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
2977- Added the model (and effort level) each subagent ran on to `/tasks` and the agent detail dialogs
2978- 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
2979- 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)
2980- Fixed auto mode staying unavailable at startup when a temporary server-side disable was cached and later flag fetches failed
2981- 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
2982- Fixed the `/model` picker silently ignoring an Ultracode selection; picking Ultracode now applies it to the current session
2983- Fixed `/resume` only listing the 50 most recent sessions; the picker now loads more as you scroll
2984- 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
2985- Fixed cross-session messaging silently turning off inside user namespaces and rootless containers after the 2.1.232 socket-directory hardening
2986- 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
2987- Fixed `spellcheck` not underlining a misspelled word typed directly after an emoji
2988- Fixed background subagents not waking when their last background Bash task completes
2989- 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`
2990- Fixed auth, model-availability, and other client-generated error messages rendering like model output instead of as error lines
2991- 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
2992- Fixed server-managed `companyAnnouncements` not showing at startup in a session that began with signing in (for example the first launch after `/logout`)
2993- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `Bash(cat *)` firing on unrelated Bash commands when the command contained `$()` or backtick command substitution followed by more arguments
2994- Fixed plugin dependencies declared with a `marketplace` field never resolving when both plugins are loaded together via `--plugin-dir`
2995- 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
2996- Fixed `--agents` silently ignoring invalid JSON or invalid agent definitions; it now exits with a clear error, like `--mcp-config`
2997- Fixed `/status` showing "Found invalid entries in: ." with no filename when `~/.claude.json` has an invalid MCP server entry
2998- Fixed `/clear` removing the `/rename` session name from the prompt bar even though the name was kept for the new session
2999- Fixed Ctrl+R history search and up-arrow history breaking when `~/.claude/history.jsonl` contains a malformed entry
3000- Fixed Ctrl+[ not leaving vim INSERT mode in terminals that encode modified keys (modifyOtherKeys / kitty protocol)
3001- 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
3002- 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)
3003- 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
3004- Fixed `claude --teleport <session>` exiting on uncommitted changes instead of offering to stash them and continue, as the session picker already does
3005- Fixed `/web-setup` repeatedly asking you to log in when an older GitHub CLI (without `gh auth token`) was already authenticated
3006- 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
3007- [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
3008- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view sections you expanded collapsing on their own during subagent tool activity
3009- 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
3010- Improved native install and auto-update download size: the binary is now zstd-compressed (about 75 MB instead of 340 MB on Linux x64)
3011- 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
3012- Improved native binary size: about 2 MB smaller by storing the bundled skill and prompt text more compactly
3013- 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)
3014- Improved peak memory usage in long-running sessions (the runtime now garbage-collects sooner as the heap grows)
3015- 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
3016- 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
3017- 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
3018- 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
3019- 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
3020- 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
3021- 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
3022- Fixed `claude remote-control` exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
3023- 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
3024- 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
3025- 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
3026- [VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
3027- [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

3036
3037## 2.1.239
3038
3039- Cost estimates (`/cost`, status line, `--max-budget-usd`) now include the 1.1× US-only-inference premium for data-residency workspaces
3040- Added the one-time fullscreen renderer offer on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other previously excluded setups; new installs there now start in fullscreen
3041- 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`)
3042- 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
3043- 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)
3044- The usage-limit message shown when your monthly spend limit is already used up now also says when your session or weekly limit resets
3045- 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
3046- 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`
3047- Fixed a raw crash dump when starting Claude Code from a directory that no longer exists; it now prints a clear message
3048- Fixed Edit and Write calls pausing for about 5 seconds in JetBrains IDE terminals when the Claude Code plugin is connected
3049- 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
3050- Fixed WebFetch retaining expired page content in memory for the whole session instead of the intended 15 minutes
3051- Fixed cloud sessions (Claude Code on the web, desktop and mobile apps) resuming out of plan mode after an idle worker restart
3052- 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
3053- Fixed remote MCP servers staying failed after a transient 5xx on a mid-session reconnect in cloud sessions or via SDK `setMcpServers()`
3054- Fixed custom session titles disappearing from `/resume` after more than ~64 KB of conversation was written following the rename
3055- Fixed `claude -c`/resume picking up sessions from a different directory whose path differed only by characters like `_`, `-`, or `.`
3056- 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
3057- 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
3058- Fixed the `dark-ansi` theme rendering expanded tool results in fullscreen mode with text the same color as the background
3059- Fixed the fullscreen renderer prompt reappearing on every launch when it could never be answered; it now stops after being shown on three launches
3060- Fixed `.worktreeinclude` patterns starting with `**/` silently matching nothing when the target lived in a gitignored directory
3061- Fixed agents, skills, and commands whose `.md` file starts with a UTF-8 BOM being silently ignored
3062- Fixed `/insights` echoing literal `<message>` tags in its response on some models
3063- Fixed marketplace `metadata.pluginRoot` having no effect: bare plugin source names now resolve under it as the docs describe
3064- Fixed mouse movement in browser-based terminals inserting text like `"35;150;7M"` into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across writes
3065- Fixed custom theme overrides for the effort/ultracode status badge colors being ignored
3066- 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
3067- Fixed vim mode in the agent view: Escape now switches to NORMAL mode and keeps your text instead of clearing the prompt
3068- Fixed the `selection:copy` keybinding silently dropping a text selection that had been extended with Shift+Arrow keys
3069- Fixed the `/voice` startup tip still appearing after voice dictation was enabled via the `voice.enabled` setting
3070- Fixed shell-mode (`!`) Tab completion dropping the `./` from a `./script` path, which left a command the shell couldn't run
3071- Fixed fullscreen mode answering a permission prompt or pressing a button when you clicked the terminal window only to bring it back into focus
3072- Fixed slash-command panels (e.g. `/config`, `/model`) in fullscreen mode covering the latest messages; the conversation now stays pinned above the panel
3073- Fixed the `/workflows` detail dialog overflowing the terminal and losing its header off-screen when opened while Claude is still responding
3074- Fixed the Linux sandbox making a nonexistent `.git/config.worktree` unreadable, which broke every sandboxed git command in repos with `extensions.worktreeConfig` set
3075- 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
3076- Fixed `claudeMdExcludes` not excluding a symlinked `.claude/rules` file when the pattern names the rules directory or the symlink rather than its target
3077- 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
3078- Fixed sessions whose title starts with `/` being unaddressable by `SendMessage` and shown as "(untitled)" in `ListAgents`
3079- 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
3080- 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
3081- Fixed Ctrl+Backspace deleting one character instead of a word in search boxes
3082- Fixed a request rejected by an organization policy check being re-sent before the rejection was shown
3083- Improved the reminder shown after compaction so a skill's original arguments are not re-run as a new request
3084- Long file paths on tool-use rows now truncate in the middle to stay on one line
3085- Remote sessions keep sending keep-alives while a long `SessionStart` or `Setup` hook runs, so the container is not idle-reaped mid-hook
3086- `/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
3087- `/goal`: resuming a session from the `claude --resume` picker now restores its active goal
3088- `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 …"
3089- `ListAgents` and `/list-agents` now list your live teammates (previously only subagents and other sessions appeared, so a reachable teammate looked absent)
3090- `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
3091- 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
3092- Claude in Chrome: `/clear` now closes the session's Chrome tab group, and empty groups are closed on `/resume` and when Claude Code exits
3093- Remote sessions: images uploaded from mobile now include their saved file path, so Claude can copy them into files it creates
3094- 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
3095- Remote Control: clearer message and `claude doctor` wording when Remote Control isn't enabled for your account
3096- 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
3097- [VSCode] "View usage" in the usage-limit banner now sits inline with the warning text instead of floating mid-banner
3098
3099## 2.1.238
3100
3101- 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
3102- 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
3103- 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`)
3104- 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
3105- 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
3106- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long interactive sessions: subagent tool results are now released once they leave the recent display window
3107- Fixed custom, project, and plugin output styles drifting back to the default voice mid-session
3108- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_PROMPT_SUGGESTION=true` not keeping prompt suggestions on when your account is near, but not over, its usage limit
3109- Fixed worktree-isolation Bash refusals telling you to remove a redirect when the command had none
3110- 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
3111- 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
3112- Fixed leftover `/tmp/claude-*-cwd` files when a Bash command is killed, times out, or is interrupted
3113- Fixed held Backspace being ignored on terminals that send Ctrl+H for Backspace when keystrokes arrive in large bursts (slow SSH/mosh links)
3114- Fixed text-wrapping in permission prompt diffs: lines containing wide multi-code-point characters (such as emoji) or tabs are no longer clipped
3115- Fixed killing a suspended (Ctrl+Z) session sometimes leaving the terminal in bracketed-paste mode with the cursor hidden
3116- Fixed stdio MCP servers receiving a `server/discover` request before `initialize`, forcing lazy servers to start their backend on every session open
3117- Fixed a proxy's refusal of a connection being reported as a generic network error instead of naming the proxy
3118- Fixed the `/model` and `/effort` cache-miss warning appearing when the prompt cache had already expired
3119- Fixed per-task Stop from the Remote Control tasks panel doing nothing on CLI-hosted sessions
3120- Fixed remote sessions exiting when a client delivered a user message without a valid role
3121- Fixed Remote Control sessions started by `claude remote-control` inheriting session-scoped environment variables from the launching shell
3122- 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
3123- Fixed Remote Control messages sent from the web or Desktop while Claude is mid-turn disappearing from the transcript after the turn finishes
3124- Fixed Remote Control model picks made on a phone or web not updating the model shown in the terminal
3125- Fixed Remote Control disconnecting with "login expired" when a brief network hiccup delays renewing your sign-in; it now retries and stays connected
3126- Fixed Remote Control reporting a failed reconnect on sign-out; signing out now ends the session with a clear message
3127- 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
3128- 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
3129- 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
3130- 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
3131- Improved startup: bare `claude` starts sooner on macOS
3132- Improved Bash tool permission checking for zsh-specific syntax in shell conditionals
3133- 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
3134- Improved startup responsiveness: the automatic update check now runs about 10 seconds after launch instead of competing with startup for CPU
3135- 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
3136- 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
3137- Changed `claude mcp list` and `claude mcp get` to show disabled servers as `⊘ Disabled` instead of connecting to them for a health check
3138- 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`)
3139- 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
3140
3141## 2.1.237
3142
3143- Fixed prompt caching for sessions using an LLM gateway or custom base URL
3144- 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.
3145
3146## 2.1.236
3147
3148- 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`)
3149- 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)
3150- 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
3151- 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)
3152- 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
3153- 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
3154- Fixed `SendMessage` calls being rejected when a malformed closing tag left the message text inside the summary field
3155- 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)
3156- Fixed fullscreen mode sometimes not showing a newly sent message until the next update after the terminal was resized
3157- 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
3158- Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt sometimes not appearing at startup while still capturing the first keypress as approval
3159- 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
3160- Fixed an unclear error when the cloud environments list came back empty or malformed
3161- Fixed the Fable 5 first-time usage-credits prompt auto-selecting the fallback model after 60 seconds with no answer when using Remote Control
3162- Fixed spinner tips never appearing, with a repeated background error, when the cached guest-pass reward in `~/.claude.json` was malformed
3163- 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+)
3164- Fixed self-hosted runner sessions released on idle, retire, or startup timeout occasionally resuming on another runner before the post-session hook had finished
3165- Fixed the Clawd mascot's eyes and feet rendering unevenly in iTerm2 at some font sizes
3166- Fixed occasional runaway session recaps: recap text (automatic and `/recap`) is now capped at 400 characters, cut at a word boundary
3167- Improved startup performance: the session counter is now written in the background
3168- 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
3169- 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
3170- 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
3171- 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
3172- `/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
3173- `/usage` now shows the usage-credits spend row for Team and Enterprise members, and shows a capped row at 0% before anything is spent
3174- 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
3175- 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
3176- Remote Control now marks a session offline within seconds when the CLI exits or its terminal closes
3177- `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
3178- Aligned the session title chip on the prompt border with the footer's right edge
3179- 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
3180- [VSCode] Added screen reader support for the transcript: live announcements for replies, permission requests, errors, and status changes, plus per-turn heading navigation
3181
3182## 2.1.235
3183
3184- Added an optional `spellcheck` setting that underlines misspelled words in the prompt input as you type, using your installed `aspell`, `hunspell`, or `ispell`
3185- Fixed whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server disconnected or reconnected mid-session
3186- Fixed nested markdown list items misaligning at depth 3+ and added a hanging indent to wrapped list items in the terminal UI
3187- Fixed prompt input highlights (slash commands, keywords, mentions) appearing shifted by one or more characters in some multi-line prompts
3188- Fixed Shift+Tab inside the permission prompt's comment field approving the edit and granting session-wide edit permission instead of closing the field
3189- 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
3190- 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
3191- Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing HTML entities instead of the actual characters
3192- Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
3193- Fixed the expanded task list (`ctrl+t`) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching into a session that still has open tasks
3194- 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
3195- 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
3196- 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
3197- Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to `/config` to re-enable it
3198- Vim mode: NORMAL mode and cursor position are now preserved when toggling the detailed transcript (ctrl+o) or closing a panel
3199- Dialogs: arrow keys and Enter pressed in quick succession now select the option you navigated to instead of the previously highlighted one
3200- `SendMessage` now refuses messages too large for cross-session delivery up front instead of silently dropping them
3201- Remote Control: `claude rc` now applies the same enterprise-gateway availability check as interactive startup
3202- [VSCode] Fixed focus jumping between open Claude tabs on its own when a window with several Claude panels is restored or reloaded
3203
3204## 2.1.234
3205
3206- 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
3207- 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
3208- 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
3209- Claude Code now continues your session automatically when a claude.ai usage limit resets; turn it off in `/config` ("Continue automatically at usage limit")
3210- Claude is now told to use your account email only to identify you, and not to send it to unrelated services unless you ask
3211- 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
3212- Fixed auto mode in very long sessions repeatedly re-checking and denying sandboxed commands' network access after the conversation had been compacted
3213- Fixed session-scoped permission answers (including denies) being dropped when answering background subagent tool permission prompts
3214- 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
3215- Fixed markdown rendering becoming extremely slow for some messages containing unusual Unicode sequences
3216- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a recipient copied from `ListAgents` when the session name is at the 200-character cap or emoji-heavy
3217- Fixed repository detection mis-reading the host of git remotes with unusual userinfo, producing links and repo-specific behavior for the wrong host
3218- Fixed MCP diagnostics printing resolved secrets: scope-conflict warnings now show the configured `${VAR}` form, and connection-failure details show only the server origin
3219- Fixed `strictKnownMarketplaces` allowlists accepting SCP-style git marketplace sources whose host differs from the one git would actually connect to
3220- Fixed modal text such as the `/login` OAuth URL losing characters when copied in fullscreen
3221- Fixed a `---` horizontal rule in rendered markdown running into the line after it
3222- Fixed consecutive shell commands splitting into multiple "Ran 1 shell command" rows when todo/task updates were interleaved between them
3223- Fixed dialogs like `/permissions` opened while a `!` shell command was running being dismissed when the command finished
3224- Fixed a queued `!` shell command being sent to the model as plain text after pressing up-arrow to edit the queued input
3225- 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
3226- 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
3227- 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
3228- Fixed trust prompts omitting the repository-wide scope warning when the directory was first seen before the repository existed there
3229- Fixed a case where an IDE diff tab closing during a permission re-prompt could answer the new prompt with the previous input
3230- 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
3231- 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
3232- 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
3233- 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
3234- Fixed: provider API tokens that mask on permission previews now mask even when directly followed by shell delimiters
3235- 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
3236- 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
3237- 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
3238- 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
3239- `SendMessage` and `ListAgents` now say when your account's session list was too long to check completely, instead of treating unseen sessions as absent
3240- Expired Anthropic profile credential now points you at `/login` when a claude.ai login would take precedence
3241- Improved the transcript: your own prompts now render markdown (highlighted code blocks, inline code, lists) the same way replies do
3242- 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
3243- 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")
3244- Reduced the context cost of loading the built-in `claude-api` skill from ~200k+ tokens to ~25k by loading reference docs on demand
3245- `/permissions` can now be opened while Claude is working — rule changes apply to the rest of the current turn
3246- `/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
3247- `/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
3248- `/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)
3249- `claude setup-token` now rejects unexpected extra arguments instead of silently ignoring them
3250- Changed Esc in fullscreen mode to no longer clear a mouse text selection: it interrupts or dismisses as usual and the selection stays highlighted
3251- Removed the redundant "Allowed by auto mode classifier" line that auto mode showed under every Agent tool call
3252- Removed the "Default teammate model" setting from `/config`; agent-team teammates now use the leader's model unless the spawn names one
3253- Dimmed the elapsed-time counter on the running tool header so it no longer competes with the bold counts
3254- Background task notifications delivered between turns are now sent to the model inside `<system-reminder>` tags, matching mid-turn delivery
3255- Mantle: skip the admin-pin availability probe at startup when a main-loop model is already picked
3256- Windows: startup no longer stalls on repeated rename retries when `~/.claude.json` is read-only
3257
3258## 2.1.233
3259
3260- Added GitLab merge request URL support to the `--worktree` flag and the `claude agents` view (where MRs display as `!N`)
3261- 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
3262- 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
3263- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WEBFETCH_CACHE_TTL_MS` environment variable to configure the WebFetch session URL cache TTL (default unchanged: 15 minutes)
3264- Fixed cloud sessions occasionally being marked as lost when the environment shut down while Claude was waiting on a permission prompt
3265- 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)
3266- Fixed Notification hooks not firing for permission prompts when running under Claude Desktop or VS Code
3267- Fixed idle sessions on Linux sometimes keeping one CPU core at 100% when sandboxing is enabled
3268- 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
3269- Fixed skill/command argument substitution to prevent argument values from being re-expanded as template markers
3270- Fixed Windows paths spelled with the NT `\??\` device prefix bypassing UNC path validation, closing an NTLM credential-leak vector
3271- 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
3272- 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
3273- Improved `claude plugin validate` to check a bare `.claude/skills` directory, reporting SKILL.md files whose frontmatter fails to parse
3274- 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
3275- 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
3276- 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
3277- 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
3278- Windows: fixed auto mode repeatedly stopping for manual approval on ordinary `cd <dir> && <command> > file` Bash commands (a 2.1.232 regression)
3279- 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
3280
3281## 2.1.232
3282
3283- 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
3284- Type `@` in the prompt to mention another Claude session by name; Claude then uses `SendMessage` to reach that session directly
3285- `SendMessage` now delivers to a bare name that exactly matches one live session, instead of asking to confirm with a ref first
3286- 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
3287- Added `/config` rows for "Dialog expiry" and "Messages from your other sessions" (cross-session inbound accept/hold/refuse)
3288- 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`
3289- 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
3290- Settings: `additionalMarketplaces` and `allowedMarketplaces` are now accepted as friendlier aliases for `extraKnownMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces`
3291- 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
3292- 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
3293- 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
3294- Fable 5 is offered as an advisor in `/advisor` again for organizations with Fable access, with usage-credits consent set up through `/model fable`
3295- Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass where variable-writing parameters could silently overwrite `$PSDefaultParameterValues` and redirect later commands' file access
3296- 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
3297- Fixed nested git repositories inheriting trust from a parent directory; each repository now requires its own trust confirmation
3298- 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
3299- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by a bridge inside a cloud session inheriting that session's transcript or credentials
3300- 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
3301- Fixed Remote Control sessions appearing unreachable to newly attached clients while idle
3302- Fixed Remote Control bridge sessions not restoring conversation history when the session worker restarts
3303- 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)
3304- 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
3305- Fixed voice mode on native builds getting stuck on "listening…" when the voice service rejected the connection; the rejection is now shown immediately
3306- Fixed mTLS client certificate rotation requiring a restart; Claude Code now reloads the rotated cert and key automatically on connection errors
3307- Fixed malformed AWS or Vertex region values being used to build request URLs; they now fall back to the default region
3308- Fixed stream idle timeout errors failing the request instead of recovering on Bedrock, Vertex, and gateway deployments
3309- Fixed content-sized overlays containing truncated text rendering one column too wide, and start-truncated text collapsing to an ellipsis
3310- Fixed a stray garbled character where a long shell-command or agent-description preview was cut off mid-emoji
3311- Fixed a startup race that could silently unregister a plugin marketplace due to concurrent writes to `known_marketplaces.json`
3312- Fixed `/update` and `/tui` refusing to restart while work that survives the relaunch was running
3313- Fixed usage-limit guidance suggesting unavailable slash commands in SDK and remote sessions
3314- Fixed the consent message for interactive `--advisor fable` launches, which told you to run `/model fable` in an interactive session that had just exited
3315- Improved fullscreen streaming: long sessions stay responsive because the whole conversation is no longer re-normalized on every update
3316- 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`)
3317- `/feedback` and `/bug` now open immediately when invoked while Claude is responding, instead of waiting for the turn to finish
3318- `/plugin install plugin@marketplace` now refreshes the marketplace first, so newly published plugins install without a manual marketplace update
3319- `/code-review` at high, xhigh, and max effort now runs in a background agent like the other levels
3320- Pasted and clipboard images are read without blocking the event loop
3321- 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
3322- 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
3323- Updated agent panel: completed subagents hide immediately with a `/tasks` footer hint, and the "↓ N more" overflow indicator moved left for visibility
3324- 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
3325- Bash input redirections (`< file`) are now permission-checked like their argument spellings on all platforms
3326- Shortened the message shown when resuming a completed background agent
3327- Cowork sessions no longer inline external @-imports from user-scope memory files
3328- 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
3329- Hardened the Linux filesystem sandbox against a protected-path bypass
3330- Changed `sandbox.ripgrep` to be honored only from user, managed, and `--settings` settings; project settings can no longer override the sandbox's ripgrep binary
3331- Removed the startup tip suggesting you create custom subagents, and the matching nudge in the `/powerup` tour
3332
3333## 2.1.231
3334
3335- Fixed MCP OAuth sign-in failing with a redirect URI mismatch for servers that use a pre-registered OAuth client, such as Slack
3336
3337## 2.1.229
3338
3339- Documented `claude remote-control --continue` for resuming the most recent Remote Control session
3340- Added server-supplied Claude Code hook support for self-hosted runner sessions, matching managed-environment behavior
3341- Added SSE keepalive pings to gateway streaming responses during long thinking pauses, preventing idle-timeout disconnects on Vertex and Bedrock upstreams
3342- 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
3343- `ListAgents` now marks disconnected Remote Control sessions as `offline` and labels your cloud sessions as `cloud`
3344- Fixed long responses partly disappearing while streaming and being printed twice in the terminal
3345- 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
3346- 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)
3347- Fixed a crash on Windows when a tool call or message referenced a file by an extended-length (`\\?\`) or UNC path
3348- Fixed auto mode failing on every tool call for users who disable the attribution header via `CLAUDE_CODE_ATTRIBUTION_HEADER` (direct Anthropic API connections)
3349- Fixed `/model` rejecting Sonnet/Opus 1M for claude.ai subscribers using a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway
3350- Fixed MCP OAuth with strict authorization servers by using `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` in the redirect URI
3351- Fixed Remote Control clients showing a stuck working spinner after a slash command typed in the laptop terminal
3352- Fixed the Claude Code Review workflow generated by `/install-github-app` completing without posting its review on the pull request
3353- Fixed multi-second UI stalls after editing a file with thousands of IDE diagnostics while the IDE extension is connected
3354- Fixed one-shot `claude plugin` commands leaving a stray liveness file that could prevent cleanup of outdated plugin versions
3355- Fixed dynamic workflows inside CPU-limited containers using the host machine's core count instead of the container's CPU limit
3356- 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
3357- Fixed SDK and `--input-format stream-json` sessions getting a 400 API error when a whitespace-only message was submitted
3358- 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
3359- Fixed OpenTelemetry export from Claude Desktop sessions being rejected by the Desktop-managed gateway when that gateway is also the telemetry endpoint
3360- 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
3361- Fixed self-hosted runner repository preparation hanging on a Git Credential Manager prompt; git now fails fast when credentials are missing
3362- 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)
3363- Improved "prompt is too long" errors to explain why automatic compaction could not recover instead of only suggesting `/compact`
3364- Improved sandbox: IPv6 literals in network domain lists are now bracketed (`[::1]:443`), and ambiguous spellings are enforced fail-closed and flagged by `/doctor`
3365- Updated `/login` to repeat the `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` override warning after a successful login
3366- Changed `/commit-push-pr` so git/gh commands with dangerous flags (`--force`, `--amend`, `--no-verify`, etc.) are no longer auto-approved
3367- Changed self-hosted runner Windows startup to require an explicit `--base-dir`; there is no default checkout directory on Windows
3368- [VSCode] "Report a problem" and `/bug` now open the built-in feedback dialog instead of a retired survey link
3369- [VSCode] Made the `/btw` side-question panel resizable by dragging its boundary, in both side-docked and stacked layouts
3370- [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
3371
3372## 2.1.228
3373
3374- Fixed interactive sessions that could stop redrawing entirely, while the process kept running, after a rare internal layout error
3375- Fixed `git` / Git Bash not being found on Windows when Claude Code is launched from a parent folder of the git installation
3376- Fixed `/tui` reverting the session to an earlier model when `/model` had been changed since the last response
3377- Fixed cross-session messaging sometimes starting without an inbox in the first session after install or upgrade
3378- Fixed Remote Control `/resume` while connected leaking the resumed conversation's title or history into the connected session
3379- 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
3380- Fixed self-hosted runners ending sessions in the gap between a background task finishing and the follow-up turn starting
3381- Fixed session cleanup deleting contents inside a project's memory folder
3382- Fixed background plugin-cache cleanup deleting a plugin's cache when its only version is a symlinked development checkout
3383- 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
3384- Fixed the deferred-tools reminder occasionally being sent to the model twice after a skill invocation
3385- 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
3386- 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
3387- Improved Vertex AI credential handling: expired or missing Google Cloud credentials now fail within seconds instead of retrying for minutes
3388- Improved compaction progress: the retry countdown and stall hint now appear during compaction instead of only a progress bar
3389- Updated terminal title busy-spinner glyphs to reduce tab-bar jitter on some terminals
3390- 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
3391- Removed the outdated note about auto mode sessions costing slightly more from the first-use notice for Pro, Max, and Team plans
3392
3393## 2.1.227
3394
3395- 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
3396- Fixed every Bash command failing under `claude-code-action` with `allowed_non_write_users` on GitHub-hosted runners
3397- Fixed `/tui` bringing back a conversation that had been rewound to before its first message
3398- 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
3399- Improved performance: fewer event-loop stalls on file-not-found suggestions and at-mention size checks
3400
3401## 2.1.226
3402
3403- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
3404
3405## 2.1.225
3406
3407- 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)
3408- Added a workspace trust prompt to `claude agents` for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of `claude`
3409- 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
3410- Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
3411- 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
3412- Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
3413- Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
3414- Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
3415- 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
3416- Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
3417- 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
3418- [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
3419- 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
3420- 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
3421
3422## 2.1.224
3423
3424- 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
3425- Added `archive` plugin source: install plugins from a zip over HTTPS without git or npm, with optional SHA-256 pinning
3426- Added a cancel-and-confirm step when removing an unavailable paste changes a command's text
3427- Added `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_REGION_PREFIX` env var for Bedrock to prefer a specific cross-region inference profile over the `AWS_REGION`-derived one
3428- 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
3429- 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
3430- 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)
3431- 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
3432- Fixed `SendMessage` reporting "Message sent" when the write to a teammate's inbox had actually failed; failed deliveries are now reported as errors
3433- Fixed sandbox filesystem deny entries written with a trailing slash (e.g. `denyRead: "~/.aws/"`) being silently bypassable on Linux and macOS
3434- Fixed sandbox violation details never appearing in Bash tool results; Claude now sees which file or network access was denied and why
3435- Fixed MCP tools that connect mid-turn being deferred for tool search without their names announced to the model
3436- Fixed plugin install records being silently corrupted when the same plugin is installed in multiple projects
3437- Fixed recalled or restored paste content occasionally attaching wrong data or silently losing text when the paste had aged out or placeholder numbers collided
3438- Fixed copy-on-select on Wayland sometimes not reaching the clipboard; the two selection writes no longer race
3439- Fixed the feedback survey's transcript share silently failing on long sessions; a failed share now shows an error instead of a success message
3440- Fixed Remote Control auto-start intermittently failing with "Remote credentials fetch failed" on a cold start with a stale login token
3441- Fixed Remote Control and SDK clients showing a blank "(no content)" message after `/clear` and other output-less commands
3442- Fixed a Remote Control session recreated after its server session expired uploading prior local conversation history into the new session
3443- Improved fullscreen mode to keep the full pre-compaction history in scrollback across repeated compactions, instead of only the most recent interval
3444- 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
3445- Improved Remote Control: connection failures now show a persistent failure indicator with details and a reconnect shortcut, instead of only an 8-second toast
3446- Removed the 200-subagent-per-session spawn cap; long-running sessions no longer refuse new agents (concurrency and depth limits still apply)
3447- Changed managed settings: the approval prompt no longer re-appears after re-login or org switching when the organization's settings are unchanged
3448- 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
3449- Changed the Bash tool description to always note that command output is displayed to the model, not reliably to the user
3450- Changed recalled paste placeholder numbers to renumber when accepted into the input
3451- 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`
3452- [VSCode] Fixed the extension showing Remote Control as connected after the connection failed
3453- Fixed a session resume silently reconnecting Remote Control after the user turned it off (`--resume`, SDK hosts, and the VS Code extension)
3454- [VSCode] Fixed sessions not honoring `remoteControlAtStartup` when explicitly enabled
3455
3456## 2.1.223
3457
3458- Added owner wildcard entries (`"owner/*"`) to the `strictKnownMarketplaces` and `blockedMarketplaces` managed settings for allowing or blocking all marketplace repos under a GitHub org
3459- 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
3460- Added a `/teleport` hint in cloud sessions showing how to continue locally with `claude --teleport <session id>`
3461- Fixed a Bash permission bypass where a crafted command could hide parts of itself from permission checks
3462- Fixed permission prompts so commands padded with tabs or invisible Unicode can no longer hide part of the command from the approval dialog
3463- Fixed workflow scripts being able to use dynamic `import()` to run code outside the workflow sandbox
3464- Fixed a permission gap where an agent definition's `bypassPermissions` mode ignored the org bypass-permissions disable policy
3465- Fixed resuming a session after a mid-session `/cd` coming back empty
3466- Fixed gateway model discovery hiding Claude models registered under provider-prefixed IDs such as `vertex_ai/claude-*` or `bedrock/anthropic.claude-*`
3467- 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
3468- 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
3469- Fixed sandboxed commands failing to start on Linux when `sandbox.filesystem.denyWrite` covers the working directory
3470- Fixed forked background agents getting stuck "already resuming" for the rest of the session when rebuilding the fork's parent prompt failed during resume
3471- 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
3472- Fixed a rare hang when parsing unusual `git push` output
3473- 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
3474- 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
3475- 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
3476- Changed `/code-review` with no effort level to reuse the level you typed last; type a level like `/code-review high` to change it
3477
3478## 2.1.222
3479
3480- 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
3481- Fixed PreToolUse auto-allow hooks bypassing tool restrictions in background agent tasks (summaries, compaction, renames)
3482- 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
3483- 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
3484- Fixed "Connection closed mid-response" errors being reported on responses that had actually completed
3485- 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
3486- Fixed sessions not linking to pull requests created after the branch was pushed, including through the GitHub REST API
3487- 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
3488- Fixed stream idle timeout firing on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateways despite server keep-alive pings arriving on the wire
3489- Fixed claude.ai connectors being falsely marked as needing authorization when the session token is invalid — they now show a `/login` hint instead
3490- Fixed tool errors not being displayed for tools no longer available locally, for example after an MCP server is removed
3491- Fixed `SendMessage` rejecting a long summary — it now truncates instead, so sends no longer fail on a character limit
3492- 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
3493- Fixed rare crashes when a file watcher hit a filesystem error or during file-watcher teardown
3494- 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
3495- 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
3496- Improved auto mode safety: messages sent to other agent sessions via `SendMessage` are now evaluated by the permission classifier before dispatch
3497- 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
3498- 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
3499- 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`
3500- Removed ultraplan feature
3501
3502## 2.1.221
3503
3504- [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
3505- 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`
3506- Added warnings to `claude plugin validate` when a marketplace or plugin name would be rejected by Claude Desktop's managed marketplace sync
3507- Added a `prompt-audit` subcommand to the `claude-api` skill for auditing prompts and tool descriptions for patterns written for older models
3508- Fixed a Bash tool permission-check bypass where zsh could execute hidden commands in `[[ ]]` regex conditionals; affected commands now prompt for permission
3509- Fixed PowerShell permission checks mishandling paths containing quote characters on Windows; such paths now prompt for approval
3510- 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
3511- 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
3512- Fixed @-mentioned files being silently dropped when pressing Esc to retract a prompt and resubmitting it
3513- Fixed a crash when preparing API requests for SDK MCP tools named after built-in object properties such as `constructor`
3514- Fixed WebSearch failing with a 400 error at effort `xhigh`/`max` when thinking is disabled
3515- Fixed sandboxed large uploads failing with TLS errors through the sandbox proxy
3516- Fixed Team and Enterprise spend-limit message incorrectly blaming the org's monthly limit instead of your individual spend limit
3517- Fixed Bedrock authentication with AWS SSO named profiles failing in desktop-managed sessions on Windows machines that set a stray `HOME` environment variable
3518- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN=0` not disabling interrupted-turn auto-resume; falsy values are now honored
3519- 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
3520- 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
3521- Fixed plugin- and org-delivered skills named after terminal-only built-ins (e.g. `/help`, `/feedback`) being un-invocable in non-interactive sessions
3522- Fixed the "Plugins changed" notification lingering after plugins were reloaded instead of clearing
3523- Fixed Vim mode: the yank register now survives dialogs, history search, and the transcript view instead of being silently emptied
3524- Fixed Vim mode: undoing back to an empty prompt now arms the "press ← again" confirm before returning to the agent view
3525- Improved tool search on Google Vertex AI: re-enabled for Claude 4.5-generation and newer models
3526- 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
3527- Reduced prompt-cache costs for auto-mode permission checks by reusing the cached conversation prefix across decisions
3528- Improved Stats panel to count cache tokens in its token totals, with a breakdown by input, output, cache read, and cache write
3529- 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
3530- 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
3531- 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
3532- Changed `/plugin install` to refresh a stale marketplace catalog and retry before reporting a plugin not found
3533- Changed plugins installed from `/plugin` to activate immediately when safe, instead of always requiring `/reload-plugins`
3534- Changed plugins to accept `"."` as a `skills` path, and the root-level `SKILL.md` validation error now suggests using the plugin root
3535- Changed `/status` to show the session kind: `interactive`, or a background job that is `attached` or `unattended`
3536- Changed emoji autocomplete to accept common alternate shortcodes like `:thumbsup:`, `:thumbsdown:`, and `:love:`
3537- Changed sessions forked with `/fork` to create a new worktree of their own instead of working in the original session's checkout
3538- Changed Claude in Chrome to close the browser tabs it opens once it no longer needs them
3539- Changed fast mode to report on the stream when usage credits run out mid-session, instead of failing silently
3540- Changed Monitor: a watch that exits without producing any output now says so instead of reporting "stream ended"
3541- Changed the Gateway `model` field validation: non-string values are rejected with a 400 instead of being forwarded
3542- Removed the repeated "Permission mode changed while the auto-mode classifier call was queued" notice from approval prompts
3543
3544## 2.1.220
3545
3546- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
3547
3548## 2.1.219
3549
3550- Added Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, fast mode at $10/$50 per Mtok
3551- Added `sandbox.network.strictAllowlist` setting to deny non-allowlisted hosts for sandboxed commands without prompting
3552- Added `DirectoryAdded` hook that fires after `/add-dir` or the SDK `register_repo_root` control request registers a new working directory mid-session
3553- 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
3554- 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
3555- 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
3556- Fixed `claude -p` text output dropping the answer already produced when a turn dies on a mid-stream API error
3557- 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
3558- Fixed the Fable model row showing "Requires usage credits" for plans that include it, when a stale cache had baked the label in
3559- Fixed the `/model` picker showing the merged Opus row as plain "Opus" instead of "Opus (1M context)"
3560- Fixed copy-on-select inside GNU screen printing base64 into the terminal instead of copying the selection
3561- Fixed Remote Control clients keeping a stale fast-mode status after a model switch, reconnect, or failed org check
3562- 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
3563- Fixed Vim mode: pressing ← on an empty prompt now returns to the agent view from NORMAL mode, not just INSERT
3564- Fixed screen-reader mode rewriting the entire input line on every keystroke instead of echoing only the typed character
3565- Improved the "Remote Control is only available via api.anthropic.com" error to name the specific setting that caused it
3566- Improved `claude --teleport` to show which repo your current checkout points at when it doesn't match the session's repo
3567- 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`
3568- Changed managed MCP allowlist/denylist `${VAR}` entries to resolve from the startup environment and managed-settings env instead of settings-file env
3569- 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
3570- Added the current default workflow size to the running-workflow status line, with a pointer to `/config` for changing it
3571- Removed Opus 4.7 from fast mode; `/fast` now applies to Opus 5 and Opus 4.8
3572- Updated the claude-api skill to default to Claude Opus 5, with a migration path from Opus 4.8
3573- 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
3574
3575## 2.1.218
3576
3577- 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
3578- 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
3579- Fixed Windows paths with `\u`-prefixed segments (like `C:\Users\unicorn`) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
3580- 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
3581- Fixed multi-line paste collapsing into one line with `j` in place of newlines in terminals that encode pasted newlines as Ctrl+J
3582- Fixed `/context` reporting stale pre-compact token usage after compacting from the message picker
3583- 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
3584- Fixed `/code-review ultra` silently running a local review in non-interactive sessions — it now launches the cloud review
3585- Fixed gateway spend metering to price Bedrock application-inference-profile ARNs and other config-mapped upstream model IDs at the configured model's rates
3586- Fixed mojibake when a long IDE selection was truncated mid-emoji, and a case where a tool executor error could be silently dropped
3587- Fixed an engine teardown race that could start and abandon a phantom turn, and made input pushed after close consistently rejected
3588- 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
3589- Fixed VoiceOver reading "new line" instead of echoing the typed space at the end of the input in `--ax-screen-reader` mode
3590- Fixed plugin and settings panels not moving the terminal cursor to the focused row, so screen readers and magnifiers can follow arrow-key navigation
3591- Fixed crashes (maximum call stack exceeded) when a deeply nested watched directory tree was deleted or moved, and when rendering deeply nested UI trees
3592- Fixed pull request events occasionally being lost when a session exited immediately after creating or linking a PR
3593- Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard failing profile verification for assume-role profiles in partitioned AWS regions and on proxy-only networks
3594- Fixed rare negative or incorrect turn duration measurements after a system clock adjustment by timing turns with a monotonic clock
3595- Fixed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice over-counting claude.ai connectors that aren't connected in claude.ai
3596- Fixed prompt history entries being dropped or duplicated when history writes raced or failed
3597- 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
3598- Fixed agent frontmatter hooks running from untrusted folders: hooks now require the agent file's own folder to have accepted workspace trust
3599- Fixed fork-session lineage being lost after compaction in headless and SDK sessions
3600- Fixed a resumed session failing every turn, or crashing on resume, when its history held a malformed delta attachment
3601- Improved `/ultrareview` error feedback so Claude can correct an invalid argument instead of retrying it unchanged
3602- Improved auto mode: the dangerous-rm, background-`&`, and suspicious-Windows-path checks no longer open permission dialogs; the auto-mode classifier adjudicates them instead
3603- Improved sandbox command restrictions for IDE interactions
3604- Improved trust dialogs to name the repository root the grant covers
3605- Changed `/deep-research` to start only when invoked manually; Claude no longer launches it on its own
3606- 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
3607- Added an announcement when fast mode changes as a result of switching models via `/config model=<x>` or Remote Control
3608- Changed server-managed settings so benign feature and cost toggles no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt
3609- Changed agent markdown files to reject agent names containing `:`, which is reserved for plugin namespacing
3610- Changed skills with `context: fork` to run in the background by default; opt out per skill with `background: false`
3611- Added `yes`/`no`/`on`/`off`/`1`/`0` (case-insensitive) as accepted values for skill and plugin frontmatter booleans, alongside `true`/`false`
3612- 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
3613
3614## 2.1.217
3615
3616- Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting
3617- 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
3618- Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session
3619- Fixed Windows auto-update failures that could leave `claude.exe` missing; failed updates now restore the preserved executable automatically
3620- Fixed background session isolation not canonicalizing symlinked working directories, which could let sessions escape their workspace folder
3621- Fixed auto-compact never triggering for Claude Opus 4.8 on Bedrock and `/compact` failing once over the limit
3622- Fixed corporate mTLS, TLS-verify, OAuth scope, and proxy settings being ignored in Claude Desktop sessions
3623- 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
3624- 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
3625- Fixed `--resume`/`--continue` and `/resume` failing with a TypeError when a transcript has a malformed attachment entry
3626- Fixed Remote Control sessions not showing a pending permission prompt or dialog to viewers that connected after it appeared
3627- 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
3628- 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
3629- 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
3630- 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
3631- Changed the login-expiry warning to appear 3 days before expiry instead of 5
3632- Capped the frontend-design plugin suggestion tip at 3 lifetime impressions instead of repeating indefinitely
3633- 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
3634- Changed subagents to no longer spawn nested subagents by default; set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to allow deeper nesting
3635- Fixed `--max-budget-usd` not stopping background subagents: once the cap is reached, new spawns are denied and running background agents are halted
3636
3637## 2.1.216
3638
3639- Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control
3640- Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes
3641- Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session
3642- Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first — free-text answers now get neutral wording
3643- Fixed Claude Code on the web re-asking the same question and dropping your answer after the session sat idle for a few minutes
3644- 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
3645- Fixed resumed background agent sessions reverting to the default agent: the agent's prompt and tool restrictions are now restored
3646- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents redirecting git into the shared checkout via `git -C`, `--git-dir`, or `GIT_DIR`/`GIT_WORK_TREE`
3647- Fixed worktree sessions landing in another project's leftover worktree when the working directory did not match the selected project
3648- Fixed background sessions whose worktree has no git repository being undeletable
3649- Fixed `claude daemon stop --any` potentially terminating an unrelated process via a stale legacy daemon lockfile
3650- Fixed Esc-Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind picker in long-running sessions with background tasks
3651- Fixed Bash command permission checking for compound statements with redirects inside `&&` lists or negations
3652- Fixed pressing Ctrl+X twice in the agent list failing to delete a session, and deleted sessions reappearing when their background worker had died
3653- Fixed background subagents getting cancelled when a high-priority message arrives during their startup window
3654- 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
3655- Fixed Claude-in-Chrome 403-looping on reconnect when the session's OAuth token lacks a required scope
3656- Fixed workflow saves and scheduled-task writes following a symlink at `.claude`, which could redirect writes outside the project
3657- 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
3658- Fixed read-only commands on Windows accessing network paths without a permission prompt
3659- Fixed Bash command parsing of non-ASCII characters to match real shell word boundaries
3660- Fixed PowerShell tool permission validation of commands containing invisible Unicode characters
3661- Fixed dialogs in fullscreen mode stretching past the right-hand edge of their panel
3662- Fixed the `/config` settings list in fullscreen mode clipping its keyboard-hint footer
3663- Fixed the transcript-mode (Ctrl+O) footer hint wrapping on terminals narrower than 104 columns
3664- Fixed the Prometheus metrics endpoint (`OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus`) emitting invalid `# UNIT` lines
3665- Fixed skills and commands changed during a session not appearing in the slash menu until restart
3666- Fixed plugin skills with a `name` frontmatter field losing their plugin prefix in slash-command autocomplete
3667- 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
3668- 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
3669- Improved validation of `git` and `gh` command arguments in the PowerShell tool
3670- Improved the `/ultrareview` diff-too-large error to show configured limits, measured diff size, and largest contributing files
3671- Improved `/code-review ultra` empty-diff message to name the exact base ref and suggest passing an explicit base
3672- Improved the spend limit adjustment prompt to show the server's reason when a spend limit change is rejected
3673- `/context` now shows an explicit warning when the conversation exceeds the context window, and a failed `/compact` displays as an error
3674- `/rewind` no longer restores or deletes files through symlinks or hard links at tracked paths and reports how many paths it skipped
3675- Background sessions: `/mcp` and `/install-github-app` now park a "needs input" request in the agent view when no client is attached
3676- Updated the bundled dataviz skill: reordered the default chart palette and fixed guidance that suggested direct labels for four-series charts
3677- [VSCode] Fixed right-to-left text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering in the wrong order when mixed with English or code
3678- 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
3679
3680## 2.1.215
3681
3682- Claude no longer runs the `/verify` and `/code-review` skills on its own; invoke them with `/verify` or `/code-review` when you want them
3683
3684## 2.1.214
3685
3686- 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`
3687- Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions
3688- Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer
3689- Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically
3690- Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in `[[ ]]` comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval
3691- Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain `help` and `man` commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths
3692- Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog
3693- 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
3694- Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent
3695- Added an ISO `modified` timestamp to memory file frontmatter
3696- Added `message.uuid`, `client_request_id`, and `tool_source` attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance
3697- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH` to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes
3698- Added reasoning effort to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort
3699- 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
3700- Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags
3701- Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a `pkill -f` pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)
3702- 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
3703- Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows
3704- 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
3705- Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task
3706- Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)
3707- Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)
3708- 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)
3709- Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting `where.exe`, `fc.exe`, and `diff.exe` as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)
3710- Fixed `>` and `>>` under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8
3711- Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon
3712- Fixed background sessions parked with `←` or `/background` and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely
3713- Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via `claude rm` or the agent view once the background service had gone idle
3714- Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view
3715- Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store
3716- Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled
3717- 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
3718- Fixed plugins enabled via the `--settings` CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)
3719- Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates
3720- Fixed `/ultrareview` refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files
3721- Fixed `claude update` and `claude doctor` hanging silently, and the `/status` System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory
3722- Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline `#` when memory files are saved
3723- Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative `message_delta` frames
3724- Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking
3725- Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation
3726- Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context
3727- Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources
3728- 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
3729- 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.
3730- Changed `file` commands using `-m`/`--magic-file` or `-f`/`--files-from` to require permission instead of being auto-allowed as read-only
3731- Changed keep-alive connection pooling to disable after a stale-connection error, so retries open a fresh socket
3732- Changed SessionStart hooks to report source `"fork"` when a session begins as a fork instead of `"resume"`
3733
3734## 2.1.212
3735
3736- `/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`
3737- Added `claude auto-mode reset` to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass `--yes` to skip)
3738- 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
3739- 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
3740- 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`
3741- 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
3742- Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. `touch`, `rm`) without a permission prompt or SDK `canUseTool` callback
3743- Fixed worktree creation following a repository-committed symlink at `.claude/worktrees`, which could create files outside the repository
3744- 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
3745- 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
3746- 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
3747- Fixed shell mode (`!`) not executing commands containing file paths while the path autocomplete popup was open
3748- Fixed auto-mode denial notifications rendering broken characters when a long denial reason was truncated mid-emoji
3749- 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
3750- Fixed `/ultrareview` rejecting PR references like `#123`, `PR 123`, and pasted PR URLs; error hints now name the command you actually typed
3751- Fixed `/ultrareview <branch>` not fetching the branch from origin when it exists remotely; it now suggests the closest branch name on typos
3752- Fixed `/ultrareview` skipping the billing confirmation in a new conversation after `/clear`
3753- Fixed `/ultrareview`'s "not a git repository" error on Claude Desktop now suggesting the project's repository folder instead of terminal commands
3754- 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
3755- 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
3756- Fixed `ExitWorktree` failing with "no active EnterWorktree session" after resuming a session with `--continue`/`--resume` in print/SDK mode
3757- Fixed the workflow agent grid staying empty for Remote Control clients that join a session mid-run
3758- Fixed streaming-mode control requests being marked complete before their handler finished, which could lose the request on session restart
3759- Fixed background sessions created with `/fork` losing their live-parent protection after a state write failure
3760- 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
3761- Fixed agent teams: a stopping teammate could send the leader duplicate idle notifications when team initialization re-ran within a session
3762- Fixed the plan-approval dialog footer splitting "ctrl+g to edit in <editor>" apart when the file path is long
3763- Fixed the welcome banner keeping its old panel widths after a combined width+height terminal resize in fullscreen mode
3764- Fixed diff previews losing their line numbers and +/- markers in narrow layouts
3765- Fixed @-mentions attaching nothing after a partial file read, plugin uninstall targeting the wrong marketplace, and false "Command timed out" on exit code 143
3766- Fixed OpenTelemetry HTTP exports being rejected with 411/400 by Azure Monitor and other endpoints that don't accept chunked transfer encoding
3767- Fixed OTLP event log records missing `trace_id`/`span_id` when `TRACEPARENT` is set in SDK/headless mode
3768- Fixed conversations with many images incorrectly failing with "Request too large" errors, and improved the error message to explain the actual cause
3769- Fixed web search and web fetch returning "API Error" text as search results or page content when the API was overloaded
3770- Improved web search and web fetch reliability by retrying 529 errors and rate-limited requests with bounded backoff
3771- Improved prompt caching: the mid-conversation system block now works behind LLM gateways and custom base URLs (Bedrock, Vertex, 1P)
3772- Improved background agent attach: cold-attaching now instantly shows the formatted transcript while the session boots, instead of a blank wait
3773- Reduced token usage in inter-agent messaging: `SendMessage` bodies are no longer duplicated into replayed history and tool results
3774- Changed `/fork` to name the copy after your prompt when the session has no title, so the row is recognizable in the agent view
3775- Changed bare `/btw` to reopen the side-question panel on your most recent exchange so you can browse earlier answers
3776- Changed the `←` footer hint to pulse `N done` for a moment when a background agent finishes while nothing needs your input
3777- Deprecated the Task tool's `mode` parameter (now ignored); subagents inherit the parent session's permission mode by default
3778- Changed Enterprise `forceLoginMethod` to be enforced for VS Code extension, SDK, `setup-token`, and `install-github-app` logins, not just the terminal
3779- Changed session transcripts to record the reasoning effort level on each assistant message
3780- 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
3781- 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"
3782- Updated the auth status panel title from "Cloud authentication" to "Authentication"
3783- Corrected an earlier release note (2.1.200): tmux through the 3.6 series lacks synchronized output; newer tmux with support is detected automatically
3784
3785## 2.1.211
3786
3787- Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output
3788- 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
3789- Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt
3790- Fixed parallel Claude Code sessions all logging out simultaneously after wake-from-sleep when many sessions share one credential store
3791- Fixed plugin MCP servers not reconnecting after an idle web session woke, leaving MCP calls failing until the next message
3792- 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
3793- Fixed subagents spawned with an explicit model override reverting to the parent's model when resumed or sent a follow-up message
3794- Fixed nested `.claude/rules/*.md` files loading even when setting sources exclude project settings
3795- 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
3796- Fixed file uploads to Claude in Chrome from remote and CLI sessions
3797- Fixed edits that leave the input as "?" being silently swallowed and toggling the shortcuts panel
3798- Fixed a startup hang when the Claude in Chrome extension is enabled but Chrome is not running
3799- Fixed a 300ms delay revealing async content (Settings tabs, Stats, diff views, and other loading states)
3800- Fixed reopening a just-stopped background session from the agents view starting a blank conversation under the same session id
3801- Fixed `/loop` hiding the session from `/resume` after a single use
3802- Fixed screen reader users losing the audible terminal bell after `/terminal-setup` or onboarding terminal setup
3803- Fixed background jobs on LLM gateway auth (`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` + `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`) coming back "Not logged in" after the daemon respawns them
3804- 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
3805- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the session cost counter — the statusline's cost now starts at $0 after `/clear`
3806- Fixed Claude in Chrome setup pages failing to open in the browser on Windows
3807- Fixed headless print-mode sessions on Windows crashing or silently exiting when stdin is unreadable
3808- Fixed background session titles in the agents view showing the naming model's refusal text when the prompt contains a link
3809- Fixed background agents killed by the user auto-respawning, and revived agents re-running stale prompts from old sessions
3810- Fixed routines with no schedule reporting a next run time in the year 1
3811- Hardened synced skill/plugin directory naming on Windows and kept CCR web fetch/search proxies working after `/clear`
3812- Improved terminal layout and rendering performance
3813- Improved background agent result reporting — Claude now reports the status of still-running agents and waits for the real completion instead of fabricating results
3814- Improved the memory index over-limit warning to measure only loaded content, excluding frontmatter and HTML comments
3815- Updated integer environment variables (timeouts, token budgets, retry counts) to accept scientific notation and digit-separator spellings like `1e6` and `64_000`
3816- Updated documentation links to the current docs sites
3817- Changed "always allow" permission rules to save at the repository root, so approvals granted in a git worktree persist across sessions and worktrees
3818- Changed `/usage-credits` to ask for confirmation before sending a request to organization admins
3819- Changed Vim mode `s` and `S` (substitute char/line) to work in NORMAL mode, matching vim behavior
3820- [VSCode] Updated the Remote Control banner to describe what it does
3821- Claude in Chrome: hardened file-upload path validation
3822- Claude in Chrome: `save_to_disk` on screenshot actions now writes the image to disk and returns the path; previously it did nothing
3823- 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.
3824
3825## 2.1.210
3826
3827- Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck
3828- Added a startup warning for `Write(path)`, `NotebookEdit(path)`, and `Glob(path)` permission rules — use `Edit(path)` or `Read(path)` instead
3829- Fixed `isolation: 'worktree'` subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree
3830- Fixed the `ultracode` keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated input such as webhook payloads and relayed PR comments
3831- Fixed a rendered text fragment leaking into crash telemetry when a UI component returned content outside a styled text element
3832- Fixed paste markers leaking into external editors opened from Claude Code, which could appear as stray È/É characters around pasted text
3833- 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
3834- Fixed a session crash when a tool's result renderer returned a numeric bigint value or plain text instead of a UI element
3835- Fixed a hook callback timeout being misreported to the model as a user rejection, which made unattended sessions stop and wait
3836- 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
3837- Fixed plugin-provided MCP servers being torn down when MCP servers are re-synced mid-session
3838- Fixed plan approvals without edits being labeled "(edited by user)" and overwriting the plan file with a stale snapshot
3839- Fixed `/doctor` skipping its auto-mode-default proposal on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, where auto mode no longer needs an opt-in
3840- Fixed Grep content mode claiming "No matches found" when paginating past the end of results
3841- Fixed unmatched `$1`/`$2` positional placeholders in skills and commands being silently stripped; they are now preserved verbatim
3842- Fixed plugin cache writes leaving temp files behind on failure and failing on locked-file renames on Windows and network filesystems
3843- Fixed background workers crash-looping when a client resets its connection to the background service
3844- Fixed `claude agents --effort ultracode` not reaching dispatched sessions; the value was silently dropped
3845- Fixed pressing ← to open the agents view dropping the task tracker when returning to the session
3846- Fixed the agents dashboard retaining pasted images from abandoned reply drafts after their session was deleted
3847- Fixed killed background sessions leaving a permanent `git worktree lock` behind; the periodic sweep now releases locks whose owning process is gone
3848- Fixed SDK MCP servers registered via an `initialize` control request waiting until the next turn to start connecting
3849- Fixed returning to the agents view from a session leaving overlapping ghost frames with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1`
3850- Fixed late-appearing `.claude/*` symlinks not being reconciled into the sandbox deny-write list
3851- Hardened the Agent tool against indirect prompt injection via content a subagent read
3852- 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
3853- 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
3854- Improved the bundled dataviz skill's chart color validation with perceptual OKLab color difference and recalibrated color-blindness thresholds
3855- Memory writes that leave a MEMORY.md index over its read limit now produce an explicit error instead of silent truncation
3856- Screen reader mode now announces permission mode changes aloud when cycling modes with Shift+Tab
3857- The agents footer hint now shows how many background agents are waiting on your input, with a brief color emphasis when the count changes
3858- Agent view: the session you pressed ← from stays visibly marked even after mouse hover or arrow keys move the selection
3859- Fable temporarily shows as unavailable in the advisor picker while a server-side issue causing Fable advisor failures is fixed
3860
3861## 2.1.209
3862
3863- Fixed /model and other dialogs being blocked in `claude agents` background sessions (reverts an overly broad guard)
3864
3865## 2.1.208
3866
3867- 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.
3868- Added `vimInsertModeRemaps` setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like `jj` to Escape in vim mode
3869- 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
3870- Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and "Other" input rows in fullscreen mode
3871- Changed the Fable 5 usage-credits consent prompt to start with the decline option focused
3872- Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings
3873- Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts
3874- 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
3875- 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
3876- Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight
3877- Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from `claude -p`
3878- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (`1e6` became `1`)
3879- 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
3880- Fixed the Edit tool failing on files modified after reading when the target text still matches uniquely
3881- 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
3882- 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
3883- 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
3884- Fixed `/upgrade` showing a login flow instead of the upgrade URL when the browser fails to open
3885- Fixed stream-json input killing the session on blank CRLF or whitespace-only lines from Windows-style SDK hosts
3886- 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
3887- Fixed repeated "No completion record was found" notices on session resume — orphaned background tasks now collapse into a single summary
3888- Fixed Remote Control clients attaching to a terminal-hosted session not seeing background agents and workflow progress until a task started or stopped
3889- 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
3890- Fixed `/usage` showing stale cached bars over fresher data, and `/mcp` not reclassifying placeholder servers after config edits
3891- 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
3892- Fixed the workflow save dialog showing `~/.claude/workflows/` instead of the `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` location for user-scope saves
3893- Fixed `/release-notes` adding the viewed notes to the model's context — "Show all" previously injected the entire changelog into every subsequent request
3894- Fixed a memory leak in the agent view where pasted images were retained for the screen's lifetime after sending peek replies
3895- Fixed SDK sessions losing agents defined via the initialize request when a plugin refresh ran before the client attached
3896- 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
3897- 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
3898- Fixed multi-second per-turn slowdowns in sessions with many permission deny/ask rules — rule matchers are now compiled once and cached
3899- Improved input responsiveness while agent task lists update — task updates no longer re-render the entire UI
3900- 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)
3901- Reduced memory usage by bounding the file edit read cache to 16 MB instead of pinning up to 1,000 full files
3902- Reduced session transcript size (up to 79x in edit-heavy sessions) and bounded checkpoint disk usage by pruning superseded file-history backups
3903- Reduced memory usage when resuming sessions with background agents or forks spawned from large conversations
3904- Completed background agents now stay listed in `/tasks` until cleanup instead of vanishing the moment they finish
3905- Attaching to a stopped background agent now shows its transcript immediately while the session warms up, instead of a blank "Session is starting" screen
3906- Background sessions: an older daemon no longer silently restarts workers spawned by a newer version onto the older binary
3907- 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
3908- Catastrophic removals (e.g. `rm -rf ~`) in commands containing `$(…)`/backticks/`<(…)` now prompt in `--dangerously-skip-permissions` and auto mode, matching the plain form
3909- `/install-github-app` and the `/mcp` settings menu no longer open in background sessions
3910- MCP servers configured with an empty URL now show as "not configured" in `/mcp` instead of a config error
3911- `/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
3912- 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)
3913
3914## 2.1.207
3915
3916- Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings
3917- Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
3918- 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
3919- Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
3920- 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
3921- Fixed compound commands with `cd` prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to `/dev/null`
3922- Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
3923- 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
3924- Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, `.ignore`, and `.worktreeinclude` breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
3925- 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
3926- Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
3927- Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
3928- Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
3929- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
3930- Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname
3931- Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
3932- Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of adding a second one
3933- 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
3934- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
3935- Changed auto mode to no longer read `autoMode` from `.claude/settings.local.json` (repo-resident); use `~/.claude/settings.json` instead
3936- 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.
3937- 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).
3938- Plugin option values (`pluginConfigs`) are no longer read from project-level `.claude/settings.json`; only user, `--settings`, and managed settings are honored
3939- 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
3940
3941## 2.1.206
3942
3943- Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior
3944- Added a `/doctor` check that proposes trimming checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
3945- `/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`
3946- Gateway: `/login` now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
3947- `EnterWorktree` now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project's `.claude/worktrees/` directory
3948- 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
3949- 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`
3950- Fixed `claude --resume` and `--continue` not responding to keyboard input on startup
3951- 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
3952- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY` being silently ignored by `claude agents` / `--bg` background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
3953- Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
3954- Fixed `--permission-prompt-tool` pointing at an MCP server crashing with "MCP tool not found" on cold start before the server finishes connecting
3955- 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
3956- Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the `/model` picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
3957- Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing "running" after a slash command was sent mid-turn
3958- Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare `claude --resume` on Windows
3959- Fixed `claude rm` leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in `claude agents`
3960- Fixed `/remote-control` showing "Unknown command" when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
3961- Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
3962- Fixed `/status` listing the same broken-install warning twice
3963- Fixed false "disused plugin" tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
3964- Fixed `/doctor`'s update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask's channel instead of the settings channel
3965- Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
3966- Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an `awsCredentialExport` helper on networks with restricted egress
3967- Improved `/code-review` findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
3968- Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
3969- Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted
3970
3971## 2.1.205
3972
3973- Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
3974- Fixed `--json-schema` silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the `format` keyword being rejected
3975- Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the `--max-turns` limit
3976- Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
3977- Fixed background agents staying shown as "failed" or "completed" in the agent list after being resumed with `SendMessage`
3978- Fixed background jobs flipping from "needs input" back to "working" in the agent list when the agent's turn contained no readable text
3979- Fixed `claude attach` erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
3980- Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
3981- 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
3982- Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
3983- Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
3984- Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
3985- Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
3986- Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
3987- Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale "Running" status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
3988- Improved auto mode to ask before running `rm -rf` on a variable it can't resolve from context
3989- Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater's peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
3990- Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
3991- Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in `claude agents`
3992- 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
3993- `/doctor` is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; `/checkup` is its alias
3994- 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
3995- Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with "Not logged in · Please run /login" on CLI 2.1.203+
3996
3997## 2.1.204
3998
3999- Fixed hook events not streaming during SessionStart hooks in headless sessions, which could cause remote workers to be idle-reaped mid-hook
4000
4001## 2.1.203
4002
4003- Added a warning when your login is about to expire, so you can re-authenticate before background sessions are interrupted
4004- Added a grey ⏸ badge to the footer when in manual permission mode, making the active mode always visible
4005- Added the session's additional working directories to MCP `roots/list`, with `notifications/roots/list_changed` sent when the set changes
4006- 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)
4007- Fixed background sessions becoming permanently unresponsive to attach, replies, and stop when the daemon's session token went stale — the session now recovers automatically
4008- Fixed returning to `claude agents` silently stopping running subagents and re-running the prompt from scratch — their work now carries over
4009- 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
4010- Fixed background agents inheriting a stale `PATH` from the daemon instead of the dispatching shell, causing missing tools on Windows
4011- 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
4012- Fixed Bash failing with "argument list too long" in repos with many git worktrees
4013- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents sometimes running shell commands in the parent checkout instead of their own worktree
4014- Fixed worktree creation rejecting nested repositories in multi-repo workspaces, leaving background sessions unable to isolate and edit
4015- 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
4016- Fixed a background daemon auto-upgrade failure silently killing all running background sessions
4017- Fixed `TaskStop` and `TaskOutput` failing to find background agents spawned by another agent — errors now list running agents by id and description
4018- Fixed the `claude agents` composer discarding your typed message when a slash command isn't available there
4019- Fixed the agent list crashing when opening a stopped session whose conversation was already open in another session
4020- Fixed background sessions showing "Needs input" in the agent list after the question was already answered
4021- Fixed background agent startup failures showing only "exit_with_message" instead of the actual error
4022- Fixed background sessions ignoring `effortLevel` changes in settings.json when forked through the daemon
4023- Fixed attached background sessions ignoring `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE` and `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` opt-outs
4024- Fixed `/exit` incorrectly warning about running background agents after all named agents had completed
4025- Fixed background sessions started from a non-git directory unable to edit files when a `WorktreeCreate` hook was configured
4026- Fixed the `@` directory picker in `claude agents` not showing registered git worktrees
4027- Fixed background task output on Windows being permanently replaced by an empty file after `/clear`
4028- Fixed content jumping when scrolling up through long transcript history
4029- Fixed the terminal flickering and jumping while typing in bash mode when a shell-history suggestion was shown
4030- Fixed literal `^[[I` / `^[[O` escape codes being printed when reattaching to a background session
4031- Fixed LSP-only plugins being incorrectly flagged for disuse when their language servers deliver diagnostics or answer navigation requests
4032- Improved responsiveness while long responses stream: live-preview updates no longer re-render the whole screen
4033- Improved subagent behavior: agents are now less likely to re-delegate their entire task to another subagent
4034- Reduced binary size by ~7 MB and startup memory by ~7 MB by loading a large bundled dependency lazily instead of inlining it
4035- Changed left arrow to no longer close the background tasks, diff, and workflow detail views — press Esc instead
4036- Changed the empty `claude agents` view to always show the organized sections (Needs input / Working / Completed) with descriptions
4037- Removed the startup "claude command missing or broken" warnings — they now appear in `/doctor` and `/status` instead
4038- Removed a redundant navigation hint from the `claude agents` footer
4039- [VSCode] Added a Settings toggle for "Enable Remote Control for all sessions"
4040
4041## 2.1.202
4042
4043- 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
4044- 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
4045- Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning the history file
4046- Fixed `/rename` on background sessions being reverted when the job restarts, which broke addressing the session by its new name
4047- Fixed transient mTLS handshake failures when settings were re-applied during an in-place client certificate rotation
4048- Fixed commands sent from Remote Control (mobile/web) into an interactive session failing with "Unknown command"
4049- Fixed images and files sent from the Remote Control mobile or web app without a caption being silently dropped
4050- 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
4051- Fixed opening a chat from `claude agents` sometimes failing with "currently running as a background agent" followed by a worker crash/respawn loop
4052- 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
4053- Fixed voice dictation retrying in an unbounded loop when the microphone or audio recorder fails — repeated capture failures now pause voice input
4054- Fixed `/remote-control` sessions showing the wrong permission mode in the mobile and web apps
4055- 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
4056- Fixed installer and updater downloads failing immediately with "aborted" when a proxy or network drops the connection mid-download — transient connection drops now retry
4057- Fixed re-invoking an already-loaded skill appending a duplicate copy of its instructions to context
4058- Improved `/workflows` agent list layout: wider titles, a dedicated time column, shorter model names, and no per-row tool-call counts
4059- 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"
4060- 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
4061
4062## 2.1.201
4063
4064- Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders
4065
4066## 2.1.200
4067
4068- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
4069- 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`
4070- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
4071- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
4072- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
4073- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
4074- 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
4075- 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
4076- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
4077- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
4078- 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`
4079- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
4080- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
4081- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
4082- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
4083- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
4084- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
4085
4086## 2.1.199
4087
4088- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
4089- 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
4090- 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
4091- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
4092- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
4093- 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
4094- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
4095- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
4096- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
4097- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
4098- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
4099- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
4100- 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
4101- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
4102- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
4103- 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
4104- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
4105- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
4106- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
4107- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
4108- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
4109- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
4110- `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`
4111- `claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
4112
4113## 2.1.198
4114
4115- 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)
4116- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
4117- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
4118- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
4119- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
4120- 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
4121- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
4122- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
4123- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
4124- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
4125- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
4126- 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
4127- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
4128- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
4129- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
4130- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
4131- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
4132- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
4133- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
4134- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
4135- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
4136- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
4137- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
4138- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
4139- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
4140- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
4141- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
4142- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
4143- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
4144- 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
4145- `/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
4146- 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
4147- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
4148
4149## 2.1.197
4150
4151- 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
4152
4153## 2.1.196
4154
4155- 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
4156- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
4157- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
4158- 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`
4159- 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
4160- 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
4161- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
4162- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
4163- 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
4164- 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
4165- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
4166- 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
4167- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
4168- 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
4169- 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
4170- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
4171- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
4172- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
4173- 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
4174- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
4175- 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
4176- 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
4177- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
4178- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
4179- 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.
4180- 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`
4181- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
4182
4183## 2.1.195
4184
4185- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
4186- 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.
4187- Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
4188- Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
4189- Fixed external plugins enabled only by project `.claude/settings.json` not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path
4190- Fixed `/plugin` Enable/Disable not working when a plugin's `plugin.json` `name` differs from its marketplace entry name
4191- Fixed background jobs disappearing from `claude agents` or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
4192- Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
4193- Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
4194- Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes "no microphone" from "SoX not installed" when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
4195- Improved `claude agents` completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
4196- Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts
4197
4198## 2.1.193
4199
4200- Added `autoMode.classifyAllShell` setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
4201- Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and `/permissions` recent denials
4202- 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.
4203- Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (`!`)
4204- Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at `/mcp`
4205- Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1`)
4206- Fixed `/model` and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after `/login`
4207- Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
4208- Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
4209- Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
4210- Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
4211- Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
4212- Improved MCP `headersHelper` auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
4213- Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace `renames` maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
4214- Improved `/add-dir` message when the directory is already a working directory
4215
4216## 2.1.191
4217
4218- Added `/rewind` support for resuming a conversation from before `/clear` was run
4219- Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
4220- Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent
4221- Fixed `/voice` showing a generic "not available" message when disabled by an organization's policy — it now explains the restriction
4222- Fixed `/login` URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
4223- Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
4224- Fixed `claude agents` sending builtin slash commands like `/usage` to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
4225- Fixed `claude agents` job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the `[Image #N]` placeholder
4226- Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. `"Bash,PowerShell"`) silently never firing
4227- Fixed `/permissions` Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
4228- Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
4229- Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
4230- 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
4231- 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
4232- Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (`tools/list`, `prompts/list`, `resources/list`) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
4233- 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
4234- Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
4235- Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL `/`) to hint how to reach slash commands
4236- Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
4237- Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache
4238
4239## 2.1.190
4240
4241- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
4242
4243## 2.1.187
4244
4245- Added `sandbox.credentials` setting to block sandboxed commands from reading credential files and secret environment variables
4246- 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
4247- Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, `/model`, `/config`, etc.) in fullscreen mode
4248- Fixed `--resume` failing with "No conversation found" when the original `-p` run produced no model turns
4249- 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
4250- 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`)
4251- Fixed Claude Code Remote sessions taking ~2.7s longer to start after the agent proxy CA system-trust install was added
4252- Fixed pasted Korean/CJK text turning into mojibake in terminals that deliver paste as per-byte extended-key events
4253- Fixed `/update` over Remote Control hanging when a startup trust dialog would have shown
4254- Fixed background jobs in the agents view getting stuck in "working" indefinitely when the agent ended a turn without producing structured output
4255- Fixed channel connections dropping after navigating to the agents view and back, and after `/bg`, `/tui`, or `/update`
4256- Fixed agent stop notifications not correctly attributing who stopped the agent, and improved wording ("finished"/"stopped" instead of "came to rest")
4257- Fixed subagent depth tracking: resumed subagents now restore their original spawn depth, and forked subagents now count toward the depth cap
4258- Fixed leaked agent worktree registrations: locked `.git/worktrees/` entries from killed agents are now cleaned up automatically
4259- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
4260- Fixed `claude --help` not listing the `--bg`/`--background` flag
4261- Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while `/share` is uploading
4262- Improved `/install-github-app`: GitHub Actions workflow setup is now optional — you can install just the GitHub App and skip the workflow/secret steps
4263- Improved `/btw` with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
4264- Improved `/plugin` to surface plugins you haven't used recently so you can clean them up
4265- [VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session
4266
4267## 2.1.186
4268
4269- 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
4270- Added status filtering (press `f`) to the `/workflows` agent detail view
4271- Added a "Skills" section to the `/plugin` Installed tab
4272- Added `teammateMode: "iterm2"` setting with a warning when auto mode cannot find the `it2` CLI
4273- Added "Claude Platform on AWS - refresh credentials" option to `/login` when `awsAuthRefresh` is configured
4274- `!` bash commands now trigger Claude to respond to the output automatically; set `"respondToBashCommands": false` in settings.json to keep the previous context-only behavior
4275- Fixed streaming requests failing with "Content block not found" or JSON parse errors after the machine wakes from sleep
4276- Fixed subagent transcript scroll position bleeding into the main transcript on exit
4277- Fixed background task previews flashing raw tool names before the agent's plan loaded
4278- Fixed Chrome tab-group isolation not applying when the in-product permissions gate is off for concurrent CLI sessions
4279- Fixed background session recaps being duplicated; the agent's own end-of-turn summary now shows as the recap line
4280- Fixed opening a background session from `claude agents` leaving the previous screen painted behind it
4281- Fixed `Agent(type)` deny rules and `Agent(x,y)` allowed-types restrictions not being enforced for named subagent spawns
4282- Fixed Esc and Ctrl+C not responding while background agents are still running after the main turn ends
4283- Fixed misaligned option numbers in permission prompts when the option text overflows
4284- Fixed pressing `x` on a finished subagent in the agent panel not dismissing it
4285- Fixed a misleading "MCP server disconnected" notice for intentionally retired tools when resuming older sessions
4286- Fixed `/plugin` Installed showing a "more above" indicator when already scrolled to the top
4287- Fixed `~~strikethrough~~` showing literal tildes in assistant messages instead of rendering as strikethrough
4288- Fixed `--tools` allowing feature-gated tools to slip through before flags loaded on a cold first launch
4289- Fixed background job status in `claude agents` showing a stale "needs input" message after replying
4290- Fixed a dark-theme flash when opening a background session from `claude agents` on a light terminal
4291- Fixed mouse-selected text staying highlighted after deleting it in `claude agents`
4292- Fixed session cost not showing for usage-based Enterprise and Team subscribers
4293- Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader's `--effort` level
4294- Fixed Workflow `agent({schema})` subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
4295- Improved `claude mcp get` and `claude mcp remove` to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists
4296- Improved memory: the agent is now reminded to compact its `MEMORY.md` index when nearing the size limit
4297- Improved skill frontmatter: `display-name`, `default-enabled`, `fallback`, and `metadata.*` keys now accept kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase
4298- Improved malformed `SKILL.md` YAML frontmatter handling: loads the skill body with empty metadata instead of failing silently
4299- Changed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES` to cap at 15; for unattended sessions, use `CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` instead
4300- 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
4301- Changed `/review <pr>` to use the same review engine as `/code-review medium`
4302
4303## 2.1.185
4304
4305- 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
4306
4307## 2.1.183
4308
4309- 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
4310- 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
4311- Added `attribution.sessionUrl` setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
4312- Added `/config --help` to list all available shorthand keys for `/config key=value`
4313- Changed `/config` toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
4314- Removed the startup "setup issues" line under the logo — run `/doctor` to see configuration issues or use `--debug`
4315- Fixed `thinking.disabled.display: Extra inputs are not permitted` 400 errors on subagent spawns and session-title generation for affected configurations
4316- Fixed WebSearch returning empty results in subagents
4317- Fixed the terminal cursor being stranded above the prompt after navigating history in vim mode with the native cursor enabled
4318- Fixed fullscreen TUI corruption (statusline mid-screen, duplicated spinner rows, merged text) in Windows Terminal under heavy nested-subagent load
4319- Fixed turns silently completing with no visible output when the model returned only a thinking block; Claude now re-prompts once
4320- Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
4321- Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
4322- 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
4323- Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
4324- 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
4325- Fixed focus mode showing "Ran N PostToolUse hooks" timing lines under each response
4326
4327## 2.1.181
4328
4329- Added `/config key=value` syntax to set any setting from the prompt (e.g. `/config thinking=false`) — works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control
4330- Added `sandbox.allowAppleEvents` opt-in setting that lets sandboxed commands send Apple Events on macOS
4331- Added `CLAUDE_CLIENT_PRESENCE_FILE` environment variable: point it at a marker file to suppress mobile push notifications while you're at the machine
4332- Upgraded the bundled Bun runtime to 1.4
4333- Improved streaming of long paragraphs: text now appears line-by-line instead of waiting for the first line break
4334- Improved auto-retry: API connection drops mid-thinking now automatically retry instead of showing "Connection closed while thinking"
4335- 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
4336- Improved the MCP OAuth browser page to match Claude Code's visual style and auto-close on success
4337- Changed fullscreen mode URL opening to require Cmd+click (macOS) / Ctrl+click, matching native terminal behavior
4338- Changed the `Improved N memories` line to no longer list individual files outside verbose mode
4339- Fixed prompt caching not reading on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and on Foundry due to a per-request attestation token changing every turn
4340- Fixed Write/Edit producing 0-byte or truncated files on network drives and cloud-synced folders
4341- Fixed `open`, `osascript`, and browser-based auth flows failing with error -600 on macOS by adding the Apple Events entitlement
4342- 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
4343- Fixed startup blocking with a blank terminal for up to 15 seconds when the account settings fetch is slow on a degraded network
4344- Fixed startup crash (`TypeError: Cannot read properties of null`) when `.claude.json` contains corrupted null project entries
4345- Fixed macOS TUI freezing at session start (Ctrl+C unresponsive) when Spotlight is busy reindexing
4346- Fixed long-running idle sessions losing their history when another Claude Code process ran the 30-day transcript cleanup
4347- Fixed foreground subagents spawning unbounded nested chains; they now respect the same 5-level depth limit as background subagents
4348- Fixed `/recap` and conversation forks using the previous model immediately after a model switch
4349- Fixed subagent "Thinking" duration showing the parent agent's elapsed time instead of the subagent's own
4350- Fixed subagents blocked on a nested agent showing a ticking elapsed time instead of "waiting" in the agent panel
4351- Fixed the API retry indicator ("Retrying in 0s · attempt N/10") staying on screen after the retry succeeded
4352- 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`
4353- Fixed `claude mcp get`/`list` showing `✓ Connected` when tools/list fails; they now show `! Connected · tools fetch failed` with the error detail
4354- Fixed `/remote-control` leaving a stale "connecting…" line; it now confirms in the transcript once connected
4355- Fixed ExitWorktree refusing to remove a clean worktree with "Could not verify worktree state" when bare `git` cannot be resolved on Windows
4356- Fixed settings changes (such as `/effort` or `/model`) failing with ENOENT when `~/.claude/settings.json` is a relative symlink under a symlinked `~/.claude`
4357- Fixed IDE selection line numbers in context reminders being off by one (IntelliJ and VS Code)
4358- Fixed Ctrl+C in fullscreen after a native terminal selection (modifier+drag) overwriting the clipboard with the app's prior selection
4359- Fixed Ctrl+V showing "No image found in clipboard" instead of pasting when the clipboard contains text
4360- Fixed agent creation failing with "EEXIST: file already exists" when the agents directory already exists (Windows/OneDrive)
4361- Fixed AskUserQuestion preview content being cut off at the dialog edge instead of word-wrapping
4362- Fixed AskUserQuestion multi-select questions silently dropping a typed "Other" free-text answer when submitting
4363- Fixed `/stats` "Most active day" and daily token chart dates showing one day early in UTC-negative timezones
4364- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select on Linux not detecting a clipboard utility installed after Claude Code started
4365- Fixed tab-indented code rendering with incorrect indentation in the Write (create-file) preview
4366- Fixed user prompts queued mid-turn not showing a full-width background highlight in the transcript
4367- Fixed the activity spinner's pulse dwelling on the wrong glyph size in Ghostty
4368
4369## 2.1.179
4370
4371- 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"
4372- Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
4373- Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
4374- Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
4375- Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
4376- Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
4377- Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
4378- Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
4379- Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions
4380
4381## 2.1.178
4382
4383- 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.
4384- 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
4385- 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
4386- 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/`
4387- 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
4388- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
4389- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
4390- 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
4391- 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
4392- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
4393- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
4394- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
4395- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
4396- 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
4397- 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`
4398- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
4399- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
4400- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
4401- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/skills` or `.claude/hooks` is a symlink
4402- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
4403- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
4404- 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
4405- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
4406- [VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task
4407
4408## 2.1.176
4409
4410- Session titles are now generated in the language of your conversation (set the `language` setting to pin a specific language)
4411- Added `footerLinksRegexes` setting for regex-matched link badges in the footer row, configurable via user or managed settings
4412- Improved Bedrock credential caching: credentials from `awsCredentialExport` are now cached until their `Expiration` instead of a fixed 1 hour
4413- 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
4414- 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
4415- Fixed hook `if` conditions for Read/Edit/Write tool paths: documented patterns like `Edit(src/**)`, `Read(~/.ssh/**)`, and `Read(.env)` now match correctly
4416- Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when `.claude/settings.json` is a symlink with an absolute target
4417- 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
4418- Fixed Remote Control connecting from web/mobile silently switching the session's model
4419- 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
4420- Fixed Remote Control sessions not disconnecting when you sign in to a different account
4421- Fixed `/cd` and worktree moves leaving the session reporting the previous directory's git branch
4422- Fixed `claude agents`: pressing back in one window no longer detaches other windows attached to the same session
4423- Fixed backgrounded sessions showing "Working" forever when `/bg` mid-turn had nothing left to continue
4424- Fixed background agent search by PR URL: PRs opened during scheduled wakeups or while a job was blocked now appear in `claude agents` search
4425- Fixed the agents view input showing no text cursor on Windows
4426- Fixed `claude --bg -cn <name>` not seeding the session name
4427- Fixed background sessions to neutralize Windows network paths in persisted state before respawn
4428- Fixed background-session respawn rejecting malformed resume IDs from corrupted state files
4429- Fixed the Windows background-service daemon not starting when `~/.claude/daemon` has the ReadOnly attribute set
4430- Fixed cloud sessions failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when idle for too long before being claimed
4431- 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
4432
4433## 2.1.175
4434
4435- 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
4436
4437## 2.1.174
4438
4439- Added `wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled` setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
4440- 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
4441- Fixed `/model` picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` pins a different Sonnet
4442- Fixed the "Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits" banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
4443- Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (`us-gov-*`) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (`global` instead of `us-gov`), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
4444- Fixed background sessions inheriting another session's `ANTHROPIC_*` provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, `/model` aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
4445- Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
4446- Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
4447- Fixed the `/advisor` dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the `availableModels` allowlist
4448- Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
4449- Fixed Workflow tool `agent()` subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
4450- [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
4451- Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with "Could not resolve authentication method" when claimed after sitting idle
4452
4453## 2.1.173
4454
4455- 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
4456- Fixed a spurious "sandbox dependencies missing" startup warning on Windows when sandbox was enabled in settings
4457
4458## 2.1.172
4459
4460- Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
4461- 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
4462- Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace's plugins in `/plugin`
4463- Added `model` attribute to the `claude_code.lines_of_code.count` OTEL metric
4464- Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
4465- Fixed a repeating "an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed" error when the conversation contained multiple images
4466- Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
4467- Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory's project settings (`.mcp.json` approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
4468- Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
4469- Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as "active" in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
4470- Fixed `/model` suggestions in the `claude agents` dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
4471- Fixed `availableModels` restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
4472- Fixed `availableModels` allowlists hiding the `/model` picker's Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like `claude-opus-4-8`
4473- 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
4474- Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. `[1M][1m]`) when `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` already includes one
4475- 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
4476- 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
4477- Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent's prompts while a subagent's chat tab is open
4478- Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (`CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES`) in remote sessions
4479- Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention `Date.now()`/`Math.random()`
4480- Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don't fully support it
4481- 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
4482- Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
4483- 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
4484- Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
4485- Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
4486- `/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
4487- Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals
4488- Stopped promoting `/loop` in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive
4489- [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
4490
4491## 2.1.170
4492
4493- 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
4494- 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.
4495
4496## 2.1.169
4497
4498- 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
4499- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
4500- 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
4501- 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
4502- 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
4503- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
4504- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
4505- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
4506- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
4507- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
4508- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
4509- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
4510- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
4511- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
4512- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
4513- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
4514- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
4515- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
4516- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
4517- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
4518- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
4519- 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
4520- 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
4521- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
4522- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
4523- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
4524- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
4525- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
4526- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
4527- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions
4528
4529## 2.1.168

4534
4535- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
4536
4537## 2.1.166
4538
4539- 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
4540- 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
4541- 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
4542- `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)
4543- 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
4544- `claude update` now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
4545- `claude agents`: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
4546- Fixed a recurring "image could not be processed" error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
4547- Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
4548- Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output
4549- Fixed Shift+non-ASCII characters (e.g. Shift+ä → Ä) being dropped in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (WezTerm, Ghostty, kitty)
4550- Fixed PowerShell command validation occasionally hanging far past its time budget on Windows when a killed process's children held its output pipes
4551- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
4552- Fixed voice mode requiring `/login` to clear a stale auth check after toggling `/voice`
4553- Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
4554- Fixed managed-settings `allowedMcpServers`/`deniedMcpServers` predicates not matching when they use `${VAR}` references
4555- Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with "No conversation found" when reopened from `claude agents`
4556- Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
4557- Fixed `/doctor` showing a contradictory failed "Not inside a remote session" check when run inside a remote session
4558- Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the `claude agents` dispatch and reply inputs
4559- Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support
4560
4561## 2.1.165
4562
4563- Bug fixes and reliability improvements
4564
4565## 2.1.163
4566
4567- Added `requiredMinimumVersion` and `requiredMaximumVersion` managed settings — Claude Code refuses to start if its version is outside the allowed range and directs the user to an approved version
4568- Added `/plugin list` command to list installed plugins, with `--enabled`/`--disabled` filters
4569- Added a "c to copy" shortcut to `/btw` that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
4570- Hooks: Stop and SubagentStop hooks can now return `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` to give Claude feedback and keep the turn going without being labeled a hook error
4571- Skills: added `\$` escape syntax to include a literal `$` before a digit in command bodies
4572- stdio MCP servers now receive the same `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` as hooks/Bash on `--resume`
4573- 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
4574- Fixed `claude -p` failing with "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required" on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when `CI=true` and no Anthropic API key is set
4575- Fixed bash commands failing under bazel and EDR-protected Go workflows: `$TMPDIR` was overridden to `/tmp/claude-{uid}` for all commands instead of only sandboxed ones (regression in 2.1.154)
4576- Fixed Bash commands failing on Windows with "EEXIST: file already exists" on the session-env directory when it has the read-only attribute or is inside OneDrive
4577- Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
4578- Fixed background sessions in `claude agents` losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
4579- Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
4580- Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
4581- Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
4582- Fixed hook `if: "Bash(...)"` conditions firing on every Bash command containing `$()` or `$VAR`; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
4583- Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. `Read(~/Desktop/**)`) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via `$HOME`
4584- Fixed a stray "(no content)" line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
4585- 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
4586- Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
4587- The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
4588- `claude agents` dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from
4589
4590## 2.1.162
4591
4592- `claude agents --json` now includes `waitingFor` showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
4593- `--tools`: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
4594- `/effort` now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
4595- Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
4596- Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
4597- Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the `/ide` menu, `/terminal-setup`, and `/scroll-speed`, following the editor's rebrand
4598- 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
4599- 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
4600- 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
4601- 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
4602- Fixed API 400 `no low surrogate in string` errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
4603- 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
4604- Fixed the LSP tool's `workspaceSymbol` operation returning no results; it now accepts a `query` parameter and passes it to the language server
4605- 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
4606- Fixed `claude agents` truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
4607- Fixed `claude agents` attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
4608- 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
4609- 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
4610- Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
4611- Fixed cross-session messaging (`SendMessage`) silently breaking when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` or `$TMPDIR` points at a deep directory
4612- Fixed opening a running background session from `claude agents` stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
4613- Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
4614- Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
4615- Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
4616- Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
4617- Improved background service startup and `claude update` verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds
4618- Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available
4619- 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
4620
4621## 2.1.161
4622
4623- `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
4624- `claude agents` rows now show `done/total` before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
4625- `/mcp` now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row
4626- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
4627- 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
4628- Fixed the `/effort` dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting
4629- Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID`/`forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)
4630- Fixed background subagent output corrupting `claude -p` stdout when using `--output-format text` or `json`
4631- Fixed `/usage-credits` starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
4632- Fixed `/autofix-pr` reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
4633- Fixed `--resume` picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
4634- Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., `/usr/bin/bash script.sh`) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"
4635- Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (`user_prompt`, `api_request`, `tool_result`, `tool_decision`) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
4636- 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
4637- Fixed Workflow agents spawned with `isolation: "worktree"` in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
4638- Fixed background sessions dispatched from `claude agents` booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in `settings.json`
4639- Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
4640- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
4641- Fixed `EADDRINUSE` errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under `$TMPDIR` when `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` is set to a deep path
4642- Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
4643- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
4644- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running `/terminal-setup`) to fix garbled glyphs
4645
4646## 2.1.160
4647
4648- Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (`.zshenv`, `.zlogin`, `.bash_login`) and `~/.config/git/`, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
4649- `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.)
4650- 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
4651- 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
4652- Fixed restoring a completed session from `claude agents` dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
4653- Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt
4654- Fixed `claude --bg` occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
4655- 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
4656- Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
4657- Fixed `claude agents` freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
4658- 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
4659- 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
4660- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
4661- Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the `claude agents` view
4662- Fixed valid `file:///C:/...` links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
4663- Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
4664- 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
4665- 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
4666- Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting `--model` when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply
4667- Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
4668- Fixed vim mode `p` pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with `v$`
4669- Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in `claude agents`
4670- Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks
4671- Improved background-session teardown (`claude rm`/`stop`, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
4672- Removed `CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE`; the environment variable is now a no-op
4673- Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
4674- 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
4675
4676## 2.1.159
4677
4678- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
4679
4680## 2.1.158
4681
4682- 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`
4683
4684## 2.1.157
4685
4686- Plugins in `.claude/skills` directories are now automatically loaded, no marketplace required
4687- Added `claude plugin init <name>` to scaffold a new plugin in `.claude/skills`
4688- Added autocomplete for `/plugin` arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
4689- `claude agents`: the `agent` field in `settings.json` is now honored for dispatched sessions, with `--agent <name>` to override it
4690- `EnterWorktree` can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
4691- `tool_decision` telemetry events now include `tool_parameters` (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1`
4692- Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so `git worktree remove`/`prune` can clean them up
4693- Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
4694- Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
4695- Fixed `claude agents` completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell
4696- Fixed `claude agents` pressing Esc not cancelling a slow "opening…", leaving the list unresponsive
4697- Fixed background agent worktrees under `.claude/worktrees/` being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
4698- Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
4699- Fixed copy-on-select in `claude agents` not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with `set-clipboard on` (regression in 2.1.153)
4700- Fixed `--resume` not reporting background subagents that were running when the previous Claude Code process exited
4701- Fixed the `--resume` session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
4702- Fixed `--worktree` and `--worktree --tmux` returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
4703- 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
4704- Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
4705- Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup
4706- Fixed a rare duplicate line appearing in scrollback after the terminal UI redraws
4707- Fixed right-click paste duplicating the clipboard in the VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf integrated terminals

4710- `/terminal-setup` now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
4711- The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
4712- `claude agents`: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
4713- Removed the "bash commands will be sandboxed" startup banner — sandbox status still shows in `/status` and when a command is blocked
4714- Removed the "/ide for …" startup hint toast
4715- [IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
4716- [VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
4717- Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
4718- Added a "Workflow keyword trigger" setting in /config to stop the word "workflow" in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
4719
4720## 2.1.156
4721
4722- Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.
4723
4724## 2.1.154
4725
4726- Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
4727- 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
4728- 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
4729- The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
4730- 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
4731- `/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
4732- Renamed the `/effort` slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
4733- `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>'`
4734- `claude agents`: `/logout` now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
4735- `←←` to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
4736- Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via `/chrome` → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
4737- 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
4738- The `/plugin` Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
4739- Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
4740- Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` and `CLAUDECODE=1` in their environment
4741- `claude mcp list`/`get` now show unapproved `.mcp.json` servers as `⏸ Pending approval` instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
4742- `/remote-control` autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
4743- Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the `/claude-api` skill
4744- 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`
4745- Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
4746- Fixed `rm -rf $HOME` not being blocked as a dangerous path when `HOME` has a trailing slash
4747- Fixed `$TMPDIR` resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
4748- Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in `claude agents` when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
4749- Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
4750- Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled `/command` fires
4751- Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
4752- Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
4753- Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
4754- Fixed orphaned `claude --bg-pty-host` processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
4755- Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
4756- 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
4757- Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
4758- Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
4759- Fixed plan file names including `[Image #N]` / `[Pasted text #N]` placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
4760- 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
4761- 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
4762- Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when `CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT` is set
4763- 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
4764- Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
4765- [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
4766- Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
4767- Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
4768- 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
4769- Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning
4770
4771## 2.1.153
4772
4773- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
4774- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
4775- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
4776- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
4777- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
4778- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
4779- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
4780- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
4781- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
4782- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
4783- 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
4784- `--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
4785- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
4786- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
4787- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
4788- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
4789- 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
4790- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
4791- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
4792- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
4793- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
4794- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
4795- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
4796- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
4797- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
4798- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
4799- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
4800- 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
4801- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
4802- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
4803- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
4804- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
4805- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
4806- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
4807- `/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.
4808- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
4809
4810## 2.1.152
4811
4812- `/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`
4813- Skills and slash commands can now set `disallowed-tools` in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
4814- Added `/reload-skills` command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
4815- `SessionStart` hooks can now return `reloadSkills: true` to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
4816- `SessionStart` hooks can now set the session title via `hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle` on startup and resume
4817- Added a `MessageDisplay` hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
4818- Added `pluginSuggestionMarketplaces` managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
4819- `claude plugin marketplace remove` now accepts `--scope user|project|local` for symmetry with `marketplace add`, `install`, and `uninstall`
4820- 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
4821- Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
4822- Vim mode: `/` in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
4823- The `/usage` breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
4824- 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)
4825- 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
4826- Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
4827- 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
4828- Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (`app.entrypoint`, opt-in via `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true`)
4829- Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
4830- Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
4831- 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
4832- Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
4833- Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
4834- 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
4835- Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
4836- Fixed `/doctor` reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale `enabledPlugins` entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
4837- Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
4838- Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
4839- 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
4840- Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with `--bare` or with attachments disabled
4841- Fixed a background worker crash in `claude agents` when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
4842- 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
4843- Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
4844- 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
4845
4846## 2.1.150
4847
4848- Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)
4849
4850## 2.1.149
4851
4852- `/usage` now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
4853- `/diff` detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, `j`/`k`, `PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Space`, `Home`/`End`)
4854- Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (`- [ ] todo` / `- [x] done`) instead of plain bullets
4855- Enterprise: added the `allowAllClaudeAiMcps` managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside `managed-mcp.json`
4856- 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
4857- 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)
4858- Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. `PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)`) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
4859- Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for `PWD`/`OLDPWD`/`DIRSTACK` across `cd`/`pushd`/`popd`
4860- Fixed `find` in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
4861- Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
4862- Fixed `/ultraplan` and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
4863- Fixed `otelHeadersHelper` failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in `/doctor` and the debug log
4864- Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
4865- Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
4866- Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
4867- Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter `name:` differs from its directory basename
4868- Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline `/effort` setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent `effort:` frontmatter
4869- Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
4870- Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
4871- Fixed `/config` exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
4872- Fixed `/insights` crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
4873- Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
4874- Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for `claude --resume`
4875- Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
4876- Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
4877- Improved `/feedback` reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage
4878
4879## 2.1.148
4880
4881- Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)
4882
4883## 2.1.147
4884
4885- 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
4886- 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
4887- 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
4888- Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
4889- Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
4890- Fixed enterprise login restrictions (`forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
4891- Fixed `&` in `!` command output displaying as `&amp;`, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like `gcloud auth login` on headless machines
4892- Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
4893- Fixed `/help` rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
4894- Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
4895- Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple `Agent(...)` types in `tools:` frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
4896- Fixed hook `if` conditions like `PowerShell(git push*)` never matching — only `PowerShell(*)` worked
4897- Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
4898- Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
4899- Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
4900- Fixed `/effort` opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
4901- Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
4902- Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
4903- Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
4904- Fixed `/background` refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
4905- 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
4906- Fixed `/theme` "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
4907- Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
4908- Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
4909- Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
4910- Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of the actual content
4911- Fixed plugin component counts in `claude plugin details` and `/plugin` being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
4912- Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
4913- Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
4914- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
4915- Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
4916- Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the `/plugin`, `/status`, `/mobile`, `/sandbox`, and `/permissions` menus
4917- Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present
4918
4919## 2.1.145
4920
4921- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
4922- 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
4923- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
4924- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
4925- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
4926- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
4927- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
4928- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
4929- 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
4930- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
4931- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
4932- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
4933- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
4934- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
4935- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
4936- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
4937- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
4938- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
4939- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
4940- 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
4941
4942## 2.1.144
4943
4944- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
4945- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
4946- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
4947- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
4948- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
4949- 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
4950- 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
4951- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
4952- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
4953- 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)
4954- 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
4955- 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
4956- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
4957- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
4958- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
4959- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
4960- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
4961- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
4962- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
4963- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
4964- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
4965- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
4966- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
4967- 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
4968- 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
4969- 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
4970- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
4971- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
4972- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
4973- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
4974- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
4975- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
4976- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
4977- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
4978- 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
4979- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
4980- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
4981- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
4982- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
4983- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
4984- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
4985- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
4986- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
4987- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
4988- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
4989- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
4990- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
4991- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
4992- 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)
4993- 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.
4994
4995## 2.1.143
4996
4997- 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
4998- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
4999- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
5000- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
5001- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
5002- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
5003- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
5004- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
5005- 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`)
5006- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
5007- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
5008- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
5009- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
5010- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
5011- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
5012- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
5013- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
5014- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
5015- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
5016- 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`.
5017- `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
5018- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
5019- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
5020- 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`
5021- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
5022- 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.
5023- `/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.
5024- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
5025- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
5026- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
5027- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
5028- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
5029- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle
5030
5031## 2.1.142
5032
5033- 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
5034- 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
5035- Plugins with a root-level `SKILL.md` and no `skills/` subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
5036- The `/plugin` details pane and `claude plugin details` now show LSP servers a plugin provides
5037- `/web-setup` warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
5038- 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
5039- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
5040- 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
5041- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
5042- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
5043- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
5044- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
5045- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
5046- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
5047- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake
5048- Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
5049- Fixed redundant `set_model` requests from remote clients injecting duplicate `/model` breadcrumbs into the transcript
5050- Fixed plugins using `skills: ["./"]` showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
5051- Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
5052- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
5053- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
5054- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
5055- 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
5056- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages
5057
5058## 2.1.141
5059
5060- Added `terminalSequence` field to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal
5061- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS` to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
5062- 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
5063- Added `claude agents --cwd <path>` to scope the session list to a directory
5064- `/feedback` can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session
5065- Rewind menu: added "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while keeping recent turns intact
5066- Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a `permissions.ask` rule caused the prompt
5067- Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
5068- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
5069- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
5070- Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
5071- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
5072- 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
5073- 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
5074- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
5075- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
5076- 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
5077- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
5078- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
5079- Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box
5080- Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent `transcript_path` after `EnterWorktree` switches the working directory
5081- 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)
5082- Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
5083- Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
5084- Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
5085- Fixed alternative `chat:submit` keybindings (e.g. `meta+enter`, `ctrl+enter`) not working when `enter` is rebound to `chat:newline`
5086- Fixed prompt suggestions being silently disabled when an output style was configured
5087- Fixed `spinnerVerbs` setting not being honored in turn-completion messages
5088- Fixed AskUserQuestion popup hiding the last line of preceding chat content
5089- Fixed Web Search status showing "Did 0 searches" when searches returned errors
5090- Fixed multi-line statusline output dropping or corrupting rows when any line exceeds terminal width
5091- Fixed light-ansi theme using invisible white for diff context lines on light backgrounds — now uses black
5092- Fixed error overlay dumping minified bundle source that hid the original error message
5093- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
5094- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
5095- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
5096- Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
5097- Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
5098- Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name
5099- Fixed `/mcp` server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
5100- Fixed redaction in `/feedback` bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs
5101- Fixed desktop and third-party provider sessions incorrectly inheriting `apiKeyHelper`/`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` from host managed-settings
5102- Fixed early analytics events being silently dropped when fired before logger initialization
5103- Fixed `claude plugin install` failing for plugins whose marketplace `ref` no longer exists upstream when a `sha` is also pinned
5104- Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via `.mcp.json`
5105- 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
5106- Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. `${var%pattern}`) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
5107- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
5108- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
5109- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
5110- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
5111- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
5112- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
5113- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
5114- Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
5115- Bedrock: `awsCredentialExport` now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
5116- [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
5117- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
5118- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
5119- `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
5120- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
5121
5122## 2.1.140
5123
5124- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
5125- Updated agent color palette
5126- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
5127- Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
5128- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
5129- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time
5130- Fixed remote managed settings not retrying on 401 — now retries once with a force-refreshed token
5131- Fixed managed `extraKnownMarketplaces` auto-update policy not being persisted to `known_marketplaces.json`
5132- Fixed `/loop` scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
5133- Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. `gh`) triggered synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns on every check
5134- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
5135- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
5136- 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`.
5137
5138## 2.1.139
5139
5140- 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
5141- 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
5142- Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
5143- Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
5144- Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
5145- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
5146- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
5147- MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
5148- Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
5149- `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails
5150- `/context all` per-skill token estimates now account for the model's tokenizer and show rounded values
5151- `claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace>` now auto-refreshes the marketplace and retries before reporting a plugin as not found
5152- `/plugin` installed-plugin details now show hook event names and MCP server names cleanly
5153- `/context` now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
5154- Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
5155- API requests from subagents now carry `x-claude-code-agent-id` / `x-claude-code-parent-agent-id` headers, and `claude_code.llm_request` OTEL spans include `agent_id` / `parent_agent_id` attributes
5156- Remote Control, `/schedule`, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `apiKeyHelper` / `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set, even if a Claude.ai login also exists. Unset the API key to use these features
5157- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
5158- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
5159- Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
5160- Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
5161- Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
5162- Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
5163- Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
5164- Fixed `/model` picker "Default" row not reflecting `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL`/`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL` overrides
5165- Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
5166- Fixed silent `exit 1` when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
5167- Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
5168- Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
5169- Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
5170- Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one
5171- Fixed hyperlinks using unreadable dark navy on dark themes — they now adapt to the active theme
5172- Fixed model picker showing a redundant "Current model" row for third-party users whose model is set to the `opus` alias
5173- Fixed legacy Opus picker entry on PAYG 3P providers resolving to the same model as the default entry
5174- 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
5175- Fixed scroll behavior in Windows Terminal and VS Code when attached to background sessions
5176- Fixed MCP resources from disconnected servers lingering in `@server:` autocomplete
5177- Fixed two-file diff snippets over-reporting the number of truncated lines by one

5185- Fixed Insights Time-of-Day chart skewing when a session has an unparseable timestamp
5186- Fixed keybindings using only the cmd/super/win modifier being flagged as unparseable
5187- Fixed `claude_code.active_time.total` OpenTelemetry metric not being emitted in `--print` mode
5188- Fixed `claude plugin update` not preserving cross-plugin symlinks inside a marketplace
5189- [VSCode] Press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the most recently closed session tab, configurable via `claudeCode.enableReopenClosedSessionShortcut`

5204- Fixed a rare login loop where a concurrent credential write could overwrite a freshly-rotated OAuth token and force re-login
5205- 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
5206- Fixed an API error (400) when extended thinking emitted a redacted thinking block after a tool call
5207- Fixed `--resume` / `--continue` not finding sessions when the project path contains underscores
5208- Fixed plan mode not blocking file writes when a matching `Edit(...)` allow rule exists
5209- WSL2: image paste from Windows clipboard now works via a PowerShell fallback when xclip/wl-paste cannot read image data
5210- Fixed plugin `Stop`/`UserPromptSubmit` hooks failing when cache cleanup deletes a version still in use by a running session
5211- 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
5212- Fixed colors appearing at wrong positions in bash command output and markdown code blocks
5213- Fixed ReasonML diffs rendering corrupted "undefined" text artifacts at word-diff boundaries
5214- Fixed worktree exit dialog warning about uncommitted files in the wrong directory after worktree removal

5222- Fixed a renderer crash when a tool's collapsibility classification changes mid-session
5223- Fixed a `skills` entry in `plugin.json` hiding the plugin's default `skills/` directory, and listing a file path now shows an error instead of failing silently
5224- Fixed IDE shell-integration lock files not respecting `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`
5225- Fixed trailing whitespace in copied terminal output during streaming
5226- Fixed plugin uninstall and enable/disable not matching slugs case-insensitively

5241- Fixed `/release-notes` getting stuck on an old version after a failed changelog refresh
5242- Fixed `/mcp` server list not scrolling when there are more servers than fit in the terminal
5243- Fixed mid-input slash command autocomplete not working after an initial slash command
5244- Fixed scrolling to bottom re-engaging auto-follow with `autoScrollEnabled: false`

5246- Fixed keyboard shortcut hints not reflecting rebound keys from `keybindings.json`
5247- Fixed `/settings` language change being reverted on Escape after confirming
5248- Fixed `/terminal-setup` only appearing in autocomplete on exact name match instead of partial prefixes
5249- Fixed "Chat about this" on an `AskUserQuestion` dialog erasing the question text
5250- Fixed MCP tool results being invisible when the server returns content blocks
5251- Improved error message when `--worktree` collides with an existing or stale worktree
5252- Changed plugin marketplace removal key to `d` (matching delete elsewhere) instead of `r` which collided with retry
5253
5254## 2.1.133
5255
5256- 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
5257- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
5258- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge
5259- 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`
5260- Improved focus mode behavior
5261- Improved memory usage by releasing warm-spare background workers under memory pressure
5262- Fixed parallel sessions all dead-ending at 401 after a refresh-token race wiped shared credentials

5264- Fixed an unhandled rejection (`ECOMPROMISED`) when a history or session-log file lock is compromised by clock skew or slow disk
5265- Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
5266- 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
5267- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
5268- 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
5269- 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
5270- Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
5271- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`
5272- [VSCode] Fixed `claudeCode.claudeProcessWrapper` failing with "Unsupported platform" when the extension build doesn't bundle a Claude binary
5273
5274## 2.1.132
5275
5276- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` environment variable to the Bash tool subprocess environment, matching the `session_id` passed to hooks
5277- 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
5278- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
5279- 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
5280- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
5281- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load
5282- 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
5283- Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank screen after laptop sleep/wake or Ctrl+Z/`fg` until the next keystroke or stream output
5284- Fixed cursor landing mid-grapheme on Ctrl+E/A/K/U/arrow keys when an Indic conjunct or ZWJ emoji wraps across lines
5285- Fixed vim operators corrupting text containing decomposed (NFD) accented characters
5286- Fixed pasting text starting with `/` silently swallowing the input or triggering an unknown-command reply
5287- Fixed pasting dumping stray escape sequences into the prompt when focus events or mouse-tracking reports interleave with the bracketed paste
5288- Fixed mouse wheel scrolling being too fast in Cursor and VS Code 1.92–1.104 due to an upstream xterm.js bug
5289- Fixed scroll-wheel handling in JetBrains IDE 2025.2 terminals (spurious arrow keys, wrong-direction events, runaway acceleration)
5290- Fixed `/usage` Ctrl+S hanging when copying the stats screenshot to the clipboard on Linux/X11
5291- Fixed `/terminal-setup` showing a contradictory error in Windows Terminal — Shift+Enter is natively supported there
5292- Fixed `/effort` picker not reflecting the `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` env var override
5293- Fixed `/status` showing the wrong default model for some users
5294- Fixed slash command autocomplete popup being capped at ~3–5 visible commands instead of scaling with terminal height
5295- Fixed statusline `context_window` token counts reflecting cumulative session totals instead of current context usage
5296- Fixed Alt+T (thinking toggle) not working on macOS terminals without "Option as Meta" enabled (iTerm2, Terminal.app defaults)
5297- Fixed dead keyboard input on Windows after re-opening a background session from `claude agents`
5298- Fixed unbounded memory growth (10GB+ RSS) when a stdio MCP server writes non-protocol data to stdout
5299- 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`
5300- Fixed unauthorized claude.ai MCP connectors showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth", and headless `-p` mode retrying non-transient 4xx connection failures
5301- Improved visual consistency in slash command dialogs and `/login`, `/upgrade`, `/extra-usage` dialog spacing
5302- Updated the `/tui fullscreen` startup banner to describe additional renderer benefits (lower memory usage, mouse support, auto-copy on select)
5303- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex 400 errors when `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H` is set
5304
5305## 2.1.131
5306

5309
5310## 2.1.129
5311
5312- Added `--plugin-url <url>` flag to fetch a plugin `.zip` archive from a URL for the current session
5313- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1` env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs `eat`)
5314- 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
5315- Plugin manifests: `themes` and `monitors` should now be declared under `"experimental": { ... }`. Top-level declarations still work but `claude plugin validate` will warn
5316- 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)
5317- 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
5318- Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces
5319- `skillOverrides` setting now works: `off` hides from model and `/`, `user-invocable-only` hides from model only, `name-only` collapses description
5320- The `claude_code.pull_request.count` OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands
5321- Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging
5322- Fixed API errors with unrecognized 400 status codes showing raw JSON instead of the underlying error message
5323- Fixed `/clear` not resetting the terminal tab title after a conversation
5324- Fixed session title chip from `/rename` disappearing while a permission or other dialog is active
5325- Fixed agent panel below the prompt being hidden when subagents are running (regression in 2.1.122)
5326- Fixed external-editor handoff (Ctrl+G) blanking the conversation history above the prompt
5327- Fixed `/context` dumping its rendered ASCII visualization grid into the conversation, wasting ~1.6k tokens per call
5328- Fixed `/agents` Library list arrow-key navigation: the highlighted agent now stays visible when the list exceeds the viewport
5329- Fixed `/branch` success message not including the new branch's session id for `/resume`
5330- Fixed bold headers with keycap/ZWJ/skin-tone emoji losing trailing characters in fullscreen mode
5331- Fixed server-managed settings policy not applying for enterprise/team users whose stored OAuth credentials lacked the `user:inference` scope
5332- Fixed OAuth refresh race after wake-from-sleep that could log out all running sessions
5333- Fixed 1-hour prompt cache TTL being silently downgraded to 5 minutes
5334- Fixed cache-miss warning appearing spuriously after `/clear` or compaction when changing `/effort` or `/model`
5335- Fixed `Bash(mkdir *)`, `Bash(touch *)` and similar allow rules not being honored for in-project paths
5336- Fixed `deniedMcpServers` patterns with a `*://` scheme wildcard not matching mixed-case hostnames
5337- Fixed harmless WebSocket warning being logged as an error in `--debug` during voice mode
5338- [VSCode] Fixed `/clear` not clearing the conversation context and displayed transcript
5339
5340## 2.1.128
5341
5342- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
5343- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
5344- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
5345- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
5346- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
5347- 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
5348- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
5349- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
5350- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
5351- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
5352- Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, `/compact`, or run with `--debug`)
5353- Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
5354- Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every `/exit` in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification
5355- Fixed Remote Control showing an empty "Opening your options…" message on rate limit instead of actionable upsell options
5356- Fixed drag-and-drop image upload hanging on "Pasting text…" when the image read fails
5357- Fixed crash loop when piping very large input (>10 MB) to `claude -p` via stdin
5358- Fixed long URLs not being individually clickable on every wrapped row in fullscreen mode
5359- Fixed `/plugin` Components panel showing "Marketplace 'inline' not found" for plugins loaded via `--plugin-dir`
5360- Fixed MCP tool results dropping images when the server returns both structured content and content blocks
5361- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
5362- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
5363- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
5364- 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
5365- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
5366- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
5367- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
5368- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
5369- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
5370- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
5371- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
5372- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
5373- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
5374- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
5375- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
5376- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
5377- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
5378- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
5379
5380## 2.1.126
5381
5382- The `/model` picker now lists models from your gateway's `/v1/models` endpoint when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway
5383- - 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`
5384- `--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)
5385- `claude auth login` now accepts the OAuth code pasted into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost (WSL2, SSH, containers)
5386- `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"`)
5387- Auto mode: the spinner now turns red when a permission check stalls, instead of looking like the tool is running
5388- Host-managed deployments (`CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST`) no longer auto-disable analytics on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry
5389- Windows: PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or `.NET global tool` is now detected
5390- Windows: when the PowerShell tool is enabled, Claude now treats PowerShell as the primary shell instead of defaulting to Bash
5391- Read tool: removed the per-file malware-assessment reminder that could cause spurious refusals and "this is not malware" commentary on legacy models
5392- **Security:** Fixed `allowManagedDomainsOnly` / `allowManagedReadPathsOnly` being ignored when a higher-priority managed-settings source lacked a `sandbox` block
5393- 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
5394- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin
5395- Fixed OAuth login failing with timeout on slow or proxied connections, in IPv6-only devcontainers, and when the browser callback can't reach localhost
5396- Fixed a rare race where a concurrent credential write could clear a valid OAuth refresh token
5397- Fixed API retry countdown sticking at "0s" instead of counting down between attempts
5398- Fixed "Stream idle timeout" error after waking Mac from sleep mid-request
5399- Fixed background and remote sessions falsely aborting with "Stream idle timeout" during long model thinking pauses

5402- Fixed claude.ai MCP connectors being suppressed by manual servers stuck in needs-auth state
5403- Fixed Japanese/Korean/Chinese text rendering as garbled characters on Windows in no-flicker mode
5404- Fixed `Ctrl+L` clearing the prompt input — it now only forces a screen redraw, matching readline behavior
5405- Fixed deferred tools (WebSearch, WebFetch, etc.) not being available to skills with `context: fork` and other subagents on their first turn
5406- Fixed plan-mode tools being unavailable in interactive sessions launched with `--channels`
5407- Fixed `/plugin` Uninstall reporting "Enabled" instead of "Uninstalled"
5408- Bounded total size of file-modified reminders when a linter touches many files at once
5409- Fixed `/remote-control` retries appearing stuck on "connecting…" — each retry now shows its result
5410- Fixed Remote Control failure notification not showing the error reason for initial connection failures
5411- 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
5412- PowerShell tool: bare `--` (e.g. `git diff -- file`) is no longer mis-flagged as the `--%` stop-parsing token
5413- Fixed Agent SDK hang when the model emits a malformed tool name in a parallel tool call batch
5414
5415## 2.1.123
5416

5418
5419## 2.1.122
5420

5423- `/mcp` now shows claude.ai connectors hidden by a manually-added server with the same URL, with a hint to remove the duplicate
5424- Clarified the `/mcp` message shown when an MCP server is still unauthorized after the browser sign-in flow
5425- OpenTelemetry: numeric attributes on `api_request`/`api_error` log events are now emitted as numbers, not strings
5426- OpenTelemetry: added `claude_code.at_mention` log event for `@`-mention resolution
5427- 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
5428- Fixed `/model` not showing the Effort option for Bedrock application inference profile ARNs, and those ARNs not receiving `output_config.effort`
5429- Fixed Vertex AI / Bedrock returning `invalid_request_error: output_config: Extra inputs are not permitted` on session-title generation and other structured-output queries
5430- Fixed Vertex AI `count_tokens` endpoint returning 400 errors for users behind proxy gateways
5431- Fixed `spinnerTipsOverride.excludeDefault` not suppressing the time-based spinner tips
5432- Fixed ToolSearch missing MCP tools that connected after session start in nonblocking mode
5433- Fixed `!exit` / `!quit` in bash mode terminating the CLI instead of running as a shell command
5434- Fixed images sent to newer models being resized to 2576px per side instead of the correct 2000px maximum
5435- Fixed remote control session idle status redrawing twice per second, which could flood `tmux -CC` control pipes and pause the terminal
5436- Fixed assistant messages appearing blank in some sessions due to a stale view preference
5437- Fixed a malformed hooks entry in `settings.json` no longer invalidating the entire file
5438- Voice mode: keybindings bound to Caps Lock now show an error since terminals don't deliver Caps Lock as a key event
5439
5440## 2.1.121
5441
5442- Added `alwaysLoad` option to MCP server config — when `true`, all tools from that server skip tool-search deferral and are always available
5443- Added `claude plugin prune` to remove orphaned auto-installed plugin dependencies; `plugin uninstall --prune` cascades
5444- Added a type-to-filter search box to `/skills` so you can find a skill in long lists without scrolling
5445- PostToolUse hooks can now replace tool output for all tools via `hookSpecificOutput.updatedToolOutput` (previously MCP-only)
5446- Fullscreen mode: typing into the prompt no longer jumps scroll back to the bottom after you've scrolled up to read earlier output
5447- Dialogs that overflow the terminal are now scrollable with arrow keys, PgUp/PgDn, home/end, and mouse wheel in both fullscreen and non-fullscreen modes
5448- Clicking any line of a long URL that wraps across rows in fullscreen mode now opens the full URL
5449- SDK and `claude -p`: `CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1` now works in non-interactive sessions
5450- `--dangerously-skip-permissions` no longer prompts for writes to `.claude/skills/`, `.claude/agents/`, and `.claude/commands/`
5451- `/terminal-setup` now enables iTerm2's "Applications in terminal may access clipboard" setting so `/copy` works, including from tmux
5452- MCP servers that hit a transient error during startup now auto-retry up to 3 times instead of staying disconnected
5453- The terminal tab session title is now generated in your configured `language` setting
5454- Claude.ai connectors with the same upstream URL are now deduplicated instead of appearing as duplicates
5455- Vertex AI: support X.509 certificate-based Workload Identity Federation (mTLS ADC)

5481
5482## 2.1.120
5483

5485- Added `claude ultrareview [target]` subcommand to run `/ultrareview` non-interactively from CI or scripts — prints findings to stdout (`--json` for raw output) and exits 0 on completion or 1 on failure
5486- Skills can now reference the current effort level with `${CLAUDE_EFFORT}` in their content
5487- Set `AI_AGENT` environment variable for subprocesses so `gh` can attribute traffic to Claude Code

Custom/MCP command names are redacted unless `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1` is set
5611- 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)

5626- [VSCode] Fixed "Manage Plugins" panel breaking when multiple large marketplaces are configured
5627- 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
5628
5629## 2.1.116
5630
5631- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
5632- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; `resources/templates/list` is now deferred to first `@`-mention
5633- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — `/terminal-setup` now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity
5634- Thinking spinner now shows progress inline ("still thinking", "thinking more", "almost done thinking"), replacing the separate hint row

5640- Agent frontmatter `hooks:` now fire when running as a main-thread agent via `--agent`
5641- Slash command menu now shows "No commands match" when your filter has zero results, instead of disappearing
5642- Security: sandbox auto-allow no longer bypasses the dangerous-path safety check for `rm`/`rmdir` targeting `/`, `$HOME`, or other critical system directories
5643- 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`

5660
5661## 2.1.113
5662
5663- Changed the CLI to spawn a native Claude Code binary (via a per-platform optional dependency) instead of bundled JavaScript

5672- Improved `/ultrareview`: faster launch with parallelized checks, diffstat in the launch dialog, and animated launching state
5673- Subagents that stall mid-stream now fail with a clear error after 10 minutes instead of hanging silently
5674- Bash tool: multi-line commands whose first line is a comment now show the full command in the transcript, closing a UI-spoofing vector
5675- Running `cd <current-directory> && git …` no longer triggers a permission prompt when the `cd` is a no-op
5676- Security: on macOS, `/private/{etc,var,tmp,home}` paths are now treated as dangerous removal targets under `Bash(rm:*)` allow rules
5677- Security: Bash deny rules now match commands wrapped in `env`/`sudo`/`watch`/`ionice`/`setsid` and similar exec wrappers
5678- Security: `Bash(find:*)` allow rules no longer auto-approve `find -exec`/`-delete`
5679- Fixed MCP concurrent-call timeout handling where a message for one tool call could silently disarm another call's watchdog

5711- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
5712- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`

5714- 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
5715- Auto mode no longer requires `--enable-auto-mode`
5716- 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)

5718- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
5719- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
5720- 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
5721- `/skills` menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` to toggle
5722- `Ctrl+U` now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press `Ctrl+Y` to restore

5730- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
5731- 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
5732- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
5733- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
5734- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
5735- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
5736- 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
5737- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command
5738- Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers)

5741- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
5742- 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
5743

5791- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
5792- 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
5793- Reduced memory footprint for file reads, edits, and syntax highlighting by loading language grammars on demand

5822- Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
5823- Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
5824- Improved `/doctor` layout with status icons; press `f` to have Claude fix reported issues
5825- Improved `/config` labels and descriptions for clarity
5826- Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
5827- 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
5828- Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely

5860- Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message
5861- Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
5862- 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
5863- Improved rate-limit retry messages to show which limit was hit and when it resets instead of an opaque seconds countdown

5867- Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set
5868- Improved `/plugin` and `claude plugin update` to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version

5886- Fixed `RemoteTrigger` tool's `run` action sending an empty body and being rejected by the server
5887- 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
5888- 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
5889- Fixed `/btw` writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use
5890- Fixed `/context` Free space and Messages breakdown disagreeing with the header percentage
5891- 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
5892- 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
5893- Fixed `ctrl+]`, `ctrl+\`, and `ctrl+^` keybindings not firing in terminals that send raw C0 control bytes (Terminal.app, default iTerm2, xterm)

5895- 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
5896- Fixed crash when `settings.json` env values are numbers instead of strings

5901- Fixed `/insights` sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
5902- [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed
5903

5913- LSP: Claude Code now identifies itself to language servers via `clientInfo` in the initialize request
5914- Fixed a Bash tool permission bypass where a backslash-escaped flag could be auto-allowed as read-only and lead to arbitrary code execution

6153- Documented `TaskCreated` hook event and its blocking behavior
6154- Preserved task notifications when backgrounding a running command with Ctrl+B
6155- PowerShell tool on Windows: external-command arguments containing both a double-quote and whitespace now prompt instead of auto-allowing (PS 5.1 argument-splitting hardening)

6320- Reduced scrollback resets in long sessions from once per turn to once per ~50 messages
6321- Faster `claude -p` startup with unauthenticated HTTP/SSE MCP servers (~600ms saved)
6322- Bash ghost-text suggestions now include just-submitted commands immediately
6323- Increased non-streaming fallback token cap (21k → 64k) and timeout (120s → 300s local) so fallback requests are less likely to be truncated
6324- Interrupting a prompt before any response now automatically restores your input so you can edit and resubmit
6325- `/status` now works while Claude is responding, instead of being queued until the turn finishes
6326- Plugin MCP servers that duplicate an org-managed connector are now suppressed instead of running a second connection

6332- Claude can now reference the on-disk path of clipboard-pasted images for file operations
6333- `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.

6350## 2.1.81
6351

6423- Added `StopFailure` hook event that fires when the turn ends due to an API error (rate limit, auth failure, etc.)
6424- Added `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}` variable for plugin persistent state that survives plugin updates; `/plugin uninstall` prompts before deleting it
6425- Added `effort`, `maxTurns`, and `disallowedTools` frontmatter support for plugin-shipped agents

6429- Fixed `cc log` and `--resume` silently truncating conversation history on large sessions (>5 MB) that used subagents
6430- Fixed infinite loop when API errors triggered stop hooks that re-fed blocking errors to the model
6431- Fixed `deny: ["mcp__servername"]` permission rules not removing MCP server tools before sending to the model, allowing it to see and attempt blocked tools

6488- Sessions are now auto-named from plan content when you accept a plan
6489- Improved headless mode plugin installation to compose correctly with `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_SEED_DIR`
6490- Show a notice when `apiKeyHelper` takes longer than 10s, preventing it from blocking the main loop
6491- The Agent tool no longer accepts a `resume` parameter — use `SendMessage({to: agentId})` to continue a previously spawned agent
6492- `SendMessage` now auto-resumes stopped agents in the background instead of returning an error
6493- Renamed `/fork` to `/branch` (`/fork` still works as an alias)
6494- [VSCode] Improved plan preview tab titles to use the plan's heading instead of "Claude's Plan"

6527- Improved model fallback notifications — now always visible instead of hidden behind verbose mode, with human-friendly model names
6528- Improved blockquote readability on dark terminal themes — text is now italic with a left bar instead of dim
6529- Improved stale worktree cleanup — worktrees left behind after an interrupted parallel run are now automatically cleaned up
6530- Improved Remote Control session titles — now derived from your first prompt instead of showing "Interactive session"
6531- Improved `/voice` to show your dictation language on enable and warn when your `language` setting isn't supported for voice input

6613- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
6614- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
6615- 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
6616- Improved `/config` — Escape now cancels changes, Enter saves and closes, Space toggles settings
6617- Improved up-arrow history to show current session's messages first when running multiple concurrent sessions
6618- Improved voice input transcription accuracy for repo names and common dev terms (regex, OAuth, JSON)
6619- Improved bash command parsing by switching to a native module — faster initialization and no memory leak
6620- Reduced bundle size by ~510 KB
6621- Changed CLAUDE.md HTML comments (`<!-- ... -->`) to be hidden from Claude when auto-injected. Comments remain visible when read with the Read tool
6622- Fixed slow exits when background tasks or hooks were slow to respond
6623- Fixed agent task progress stuck on "Initializing…"
6624- Fixed skill hooks firing twice per event when a hooks-enabled skill is invoked by the model
6625- Fixed several voice mode issues: occasional input lag, false "No speech detected" errors after releasing push-to-talk, and stale transcripts re-filling the prompt after submission
6626- Fixed `--continue` not resuming from the most recent point after `--compact`
6627- Fixed bash security parsing edge cases
6628- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
6629- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
6630- Fixed several plugin issues: installation failing on Windows with `EEXIST` error in OneDrive folders, marketplace blocking user-scope installs when a project-scope install exists, `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR` creating literal `~` directories, and `plugin.json` with marketplace-only fields failing to load
6631- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions
6632- Fixed `--effort` CLI flag being reset by unrelated settings writes on startup
6633- Fixed backgrounded Ctrl+B queries losing their transcript or corrupting the new conversation after `/clear`
6634- Fixed `/clear` killing background agent/bash tasks — only foreground tasks are now cleared
6635- Fixed worktree isolation issues: Task tool resume not restoring cwd, and background task notifications missing `worktreePath` and `worktreeBranch`
6636- Fixed `/model` not displaying results when run while Claude is working
6637- Fixed digit keys selecting menu options instead of typing in plan mode permission prompt's text input
6638- Fixed sandbox permission issues: certain file write operations incorrectly allowed without prompting, and output redirections to allowlisted directories (like `/tmp/claude/`) prompting unnecessarily
6639- Improved CPU utilization in long sessions
6640- Fixed prompt cache invalidation in SDK `query()` calls, reducing input token costs up to 12x
6641- Fixed Escape key becoming unresponsive after cancelling a query
6642- Fixed double Ctrl+C not exiting when background agents or tasks are running
6643- Fixed team agents to inherit the leader's model
6644- Fixed "Always Allow" saving permission rules that never match again
6645- Fixed several hooks issues: `transcript_path` pointing to the wrong directory for resumed/forked sessions, agent `prompt` being silently deleted from settings.json on every settings write, PostToolUse block reason displaying twice, async hooks not receiving stdin with bash `read -r`, and validation error message showing an example that fails validation
6646- Fixed session crashes in Desktop/SDK when Read returned files containing U+2028/U+2029 characters
6647- Fixed terminal title being cleared on exit even when `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE` was set
6648- 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
6649- Fixed oversized and truncated images from Bash data-URL output
6650- Fixed a crash when resuming sessions that contained Bedrock API errors
6651- Fixed intermittent "expected boolean, received string" validation errors on Edit, Bash, and Grep tool inputs
6652- Fixed multi-line session titles when forking from a conversation whose first message contained newlines
6653- Fixed queued messages not showing attached images, and images being lost when pressing ↑ to edit a queued message
6654- Fixed parallel tool calls where a failed Read/WebFetch/Glob would cancel its siblings — only Bash errors now cascade
6655- VSCode: Fixed scroll speed in integrated terminals not matching native terminals
6656- VSCode: Fixed Shift+Enter submitting input instead of inserting a newline for users with older keybindings
6657- VSCode: Added effort level indicator on the input border
6658- VSCode: Added `vscode://anthropic.claude-code/open` URI handler to open a new Claude Code tab programmatically, with optional `prompt` and `session` query parameters
6659
6660## 2.1.71
6661
6662- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
6663- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
6664- 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
6665- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
6666- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive
6667- Fixed a 5–8 second startup freeze for users with voice mode enabled, caused by CoreAudio initialization blocking the main thread after system wake
6668- Fixed startup UI freeze when many claude.ai proxy connectors refresh an expired OAuth token simultaneously
6669- Fixed forked conversations (`/fork`) sharing the same plan file, which caused plan edits in one fork to overwrite the other
6670- Fixed the Read tool putting oversized images into context when image processing failed, breaking subsequent turns in long image-heavy sessions
6671- Fixed false-positive permission prompts for compound bash commands containing heredoc commit messages
6672- Fixed plugin installations being lost when running multiple Claude Code instances
6673- Fixed claude.ai connectors failing to reconnect after OAuth token refresh
6674- Fixed claude.ai MCP connector startup notifications appearing for every org-configured connector instead of only previously connected ones
6675- Fixed background agent completion notifications missing the output file path, which made it difficult for parent agents to recover agent results after context compaction
6676- Fixed duplicate output in Bash tool error messages when commands exit with non-zero status
6677- Fixed Chrome extension auto-detection getting permanently stuck on "not installed" after running on a machine without local Chrome
6678- Fixed `/plugin marketplace update` failing with merge conflicts when the marketplace is pinned to a branch/tag ref
6679- Fixed `/plugin marketplace add owner/repo@ref` incorrectly parsing `@` — previously only `#` worked as a ref separator, causing undiagnosable errors with `strictKnownMarketplaces`
6680- Fixed duplicate entries in `/permissions` Workspace tab when the same directory is added with and without a trailing slash
6681- Fixed `--print` hanging forever when team agents are configured — the exit loop no longer waits on long-lived `in_process_teammate` tasks
6682- Fixed "❯ Tool loaded." appearing in the REPL after every `ToolSearch` call
6683- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
6684- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
6685- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
6686- 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
6687- 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.
6688- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
6689- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors
6690
6691## 2.1.70
6692
6693- 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
6694- 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
6695- 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
6696- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
6697- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
6698- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`
6699- Fixed extra VS Code windows opening at startup on Windows when running from the VS Code integrated terminal
6700- Fixed voice mode failing on Windows native binary with "native audio module could not be loaded"
6701- Fixed push-to-talk not activating on session start when `voiceEnabled: true` was set in settings
6702- Fixed markdown links containing `#NNN` references incorrectly pointing to the current repository instead of the linked URL
6703- Fixed repeated "Model updated to Opus 4.6" notification when a project's `.claude/settings.json` has a legacy Opus model string pinned
6704- Fixed plugins showing as inaccurately installed in `/plugin`
6705- Fixed plugins showing "not found in marketplace" errors on fresh startup by auto-refreshing after marketplace installation
6706- Fixed `/security-review` command failing with `unknown option merge-base` on older git versions
6707- 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
6708- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
6709- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
6710- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
6711- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
6712- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
6713- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
6714- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
6715- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
6716- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
6717- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
6718- 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.
6719- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
6720- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
6721- [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
6722
6723## 2.1.69
6724
6725- Added the `/claude-api` skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
6726- Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (`!`) to exit bash mode, matching `escape` and `backspace`
6727- Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
6728- 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
6729- Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
6730- Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
6731- Added agent name display in terminal title when using `claude --agent`
6732- 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`
6733- 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
6734- Added `/reload-plugins` command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
6735- Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
6736- Added `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}` variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
6737- Added `InstructionsLoaded` hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or `.claude/rules/*.md` files are loaded into context
6738- Added `agent_id` (for subagents) and `agent_type` (for subagents and `--agent`) to hook events
6739- Added `worktree` field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a `--worktree` session
6740- Added `pluginTrustMessage` in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
6741- Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
6742- Added `pathPattern` to `strictKnownMarketplaces` for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside `hostPattern` restrictions
6743- Added plugin source type `git-subdir` to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
6744- Added `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
6745- Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like `node_modules`
6746- Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all `.mcp.json` servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
6747- Fixed `claude remote-control` crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
6748- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
6749- 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.
6750- 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)
6751- Fixed ghost dotfiles (`.bashrc`, `HEAD`, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
6752- Fixed Shift+Enter printing `[27;2;13~` instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
6753- Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
6754- Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
6755- Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
6756- Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
6757- Fixed `/stats` crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
6758- 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)
6759- Fixed `--setting-sources user` not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
6760- Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. `claude -w`)
6761- Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any `/plugin` operation
6762- Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/...` command template
6763- Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
6764- Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
6765- Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
6766- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter
6767- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` being ignored during conversation compaction
6768- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
6769- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
6770- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
6771- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
6772- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
6773- 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
6774- 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
6775- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
6776- 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.
6777- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
6778- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
6779- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
6780- 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
6781- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
6782- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
6783- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
6784- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
6785- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)
6786- Fixed `/clear` not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
6787- Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
6788- Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
6789- Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
6790- Fixed `TeammateIdle` and `TaskCompleted` hooks to support `{"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."}` to stop the teammate, matching `Stop` hook behavior
6791- Fixed `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` plugin hooks being silently ignored
6792- Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
6793- Fixed project skills without a `description:` frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
6794- Fixed `/context` showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
6795- Fixed literal `nul` file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style `2>nul` redirection in Git Bash
6796- Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
6797- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
6798- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
6799- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
6800- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
6801- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
6802- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
6803- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
6804- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
6805- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
6806- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
6807- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
6808- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
6809- 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.
6810- Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing `onSubmit` across message updates
6811- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
6812- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
6813- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
6814- Improved documentation to clarify that `--append-system-prompt-file` and `--system-prompt-file` work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
6815- Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
6816- Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
6817- Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
6818- Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
6819- Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
6820- Changed the `/resume` picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as `(session)`.
6821- Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
6822- Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
6823- Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
6824- [SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the `activeForm` field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
6825- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
6826- [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
6827- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
6828
6829## 2.1.68
6830
6831- 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`
6832- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
6833- 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
6834
6835## 2.1.66
6836
6837- Reduced spurious error logging
6838
6839## 2.1.63
6840
6841- Added `/simplify` and `/batch` bundled slash commands
6842- Fixed local slash command output like /cost appearing as user-sent messages instead of system messages in the UI
6843- Project configs & auto memory now shared across git worktrees of the same repository
6844- Added `ENABLE_CLAUDEAI_MCP_SERVERS=false` env var to opt out from making claude.ai MCP servers available
6845- Improved `/model` command to show the currently active model in the slash command menu
6846- Added HTTP hooks, which can POST JSON to a URL and receive JSON instead of running a shell command
6847- Fixed listener leak in bridge polling loop
6848- Fixed listener leak in MCP OAuth flow cleanup
6849- 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.
6850- Fixed memory leak when navigating hooks configuration menu
6851- Fixed listener leak in interactive permission handler during auto-approvals
6852- Fixed file count cache ignoring glob ignore patterns
6853- Fixed memory leak in bash command prefix cache
6854- Fixed MCP tool/resource cache leak on server reconnect
6855- Fixed IDE host IP detection cache incorrectly sharing results across ports
6856- Fixed WebSocket listener leak on transport reconnect
6857- Fixed memory leak in git root detection cache that could cause unbounded growth in long-running sessions
6858- Fixed memory leak in JSON parsing cache that grew unbounded over long sessions
6859- VSCode: Fixed remote sessions not appearing in conversation history
6860- 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.
6861- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
6862- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
6863- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
6864- 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.
6865- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
6866- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation
6867
6868## 2.1.62
6869
6870- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
6871
6872## 2.1.61
6873
6874- Fixed concurrent writes corrupting config file on Windows
6875
6876## 2.1.59
6877
6878- Claude automatically saves useful context to auto-memory. Manage with /memory
6879- Added `/copy` command to show an interactive picker when code blocks are present, allowing selection of individual code blocks or the full response.
6880- 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
6881- Improved ordering of short task lists
6882- Improved memory usage in multi-agent sessions by releasing completed subagent task state
6883- Fixed MCP OAuth token refresh race condition when running multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously
6884- Fixed shell commands not showing a clear error message when the working directory has been deleted
6885- Fixed config file corruption that could wipe authentication when multiple Claude Code instances ran simultaneously
6886
6887## 2.1.58
6888
6889- Expand Remote Control to more users
6890
6891## 2.1.56
6892
6893- VS Code: Fixed another cause of "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found" crashes
6894
6895## 2.1.55
6896
6897- Fixed BashTool failing on Windows with EINVAL error
6898
6899## 2.1.53
6900
6901- Fixed a UI flicker where user input would briefly disappear after submission before the message rendered
6902- Fixed bulk agent kill (ctrl+f) to send a single aggregate notification instead of one per agent, and to properly clear the command queue
6903- Fixed graceful shutdown sometimes leaving stale sessions when using Remote Control by parallelizing teardown network calls
6904- Fixed `--worktree` sometimes being ignored on first launch
6905- Fixed a panic ("switch on corrupted value") on Windows

6913
6914## 2.1.51
6915
6916- Added `claude remote-control` subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.

6918- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
6919- 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`.
6920- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
6921- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
6922- 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.
6923- 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.
6924- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
6925- 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.
6926- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files
6927
6928## 2.1.50
6929

6931- Added `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
6932- 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.
6933- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
6934- Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state
6935- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE` to fully strip down skills, session memory, custom agents, and CLAUDE.md token counting

6966- Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates.
6967- Fixed `plugin enable` and `plugin disable` to auto-detect the correct scope when `--scope` is not specified, instead of always defaulting to user scope
6968- Simple mode (`CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE`) now includes the file edit tool in addition to the Bash tool, allowing direct file editing in simple mode.
6969- Permission suggestions are now populated when safety checks trigger an ask response, enabling SDK consumers to display permission options
6970- 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.
6971- Fixed verbose mode not updating thinking block display when toggled via `/config` — memo comparators now correctly detect verbose changes

6977- SDK model info now includes `supportsEffort`, `supportedEffortLevels`, and `supportsAdaptiveThinking` fields so consumers can discover model capabilities.
6978- Added `ConfigChange` hook event that fires when configuration files change during a session, enabling enterprise security auditing and optional blocking of settings changes.
6979- Improved startup performance by caching MCP auth failures to avoid redundant connection attempts
6980- Improved startup performance by reducing HTTP calls for analytics token counting
6981- Improved startup performance by batching MCP tool token counting into a single API call

6983- 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.
6984- 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
6985
6986## 2.1.47
6987
6988- Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
6989- 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.
6990- 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.
6991- 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.
6992- 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)
6993- Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use
6994- Improved startup performance by deferring SessionStart hook execution, reducing time-to-interactive by ~500ms.
6995- Fixed an issue where bash tool output was silently discarded on Windows when using MSYS2 or Cygwin shells.
6996- Improved performance of `@` file mentions - file suggestions now appear faster by pre-warming the index on startup and using session-based caching with background refresh.
6997- Improved memory usage by trimming agent task message history after tasks complete
6998- Improved memory usage during long agent sessions by eliminating O(n²) message accumulation in progress updates
6999- Fixed the bash permission classifier to validate that returned match descriptions correspond to actual input rules, preventing hallucinated descriptions from incorrectly granting permissions

7003- Windows: Fixed CWD tracking temp files never being cleaned up, causing them to accumulate indefinitely (anthropics/claude-code#17600)
7004- Use `ctrl+f` to kill all background agents instead of double-pressing ESC. Background agents now continue running when you press ESC to cancel the main thread, giving you more control over agent lifecycle.
7005- Fixed API 400 errors ("thinking blocks cannot be modified") that occurred in sessions with concurrent agents, caused by interleaved streaming content blocks preventing proper message merging.
7006- Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
7007- 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.
7008- Added `last_assistant_message` field to Stop and SubagentStop hook inputs, providing the final assistant response text so hooks can access it without parsing transcript files.
7009- Fixed custom session titles set via `/rename` being lost after resuming a conversation (anthropics/claude-code#23610)
7010- Fixed collapsed read/search hint text overflowing on narrow terminals by truncating from the start.
7011- Fixed an issue where bash commands with backslash-newline continuation lines (e.g., long commands split across multiple lines with `\`) would produce spurious empty arguments, potentially breaking command execution.

7013- Fixed MCP servers not appearing in the MCP Management Dialog after deferred loading
7014- Fixed session name persisting in status bar after `/clear` command (anthropics/claude-code#26082)
7015- Fixed crash when a skill's `name` or `description` in SKILL.md frontmatter is a bare number (e.g., `name: 3000`) — the value is now properly coerced to a string (anthropics/claude-code#25837)
7016- Fixed /resume silently dropping sessions when the first message exceeds 16KB or uses array-format content (anthropics/claude-code#25721)
7017- Added `chat:newline` keybinding action for configurable multi-line input (anthropics/claude-code#26075)
7018- Added `added_dirs` to the statusline JSON `workspace` section, exposing directories added via `/add-dir` to external scripts (anthropics/claude-code#26096)

7025- Fixed CJK wide characters causing misaligned timestamps and layout elements in the TUI (anthropics/claude-code#26084)
7026- Fixed custom agent `model` field in `.claude/agents/*.md` being ignored when spawning team teammates (anthropics/claude-code#26064)
7027- Fixed plan mode being lost after context compaction, causing the model to switch from planning to implementation mode (anthropics/claude-code#26061)
7028- Fixed `alwaysThinkingEnabled: true` in settings.json not enabling thinking mode on Bedrock and Vertex providers (anthropics/claude-code#26074)
7029- Fixed `tool_decision` OTel telemetry event not being emitted in headless/SDK mode (anthropics/claude-code#26059)
7030- Fixed session name being lost after context compaction — renamed sessions now preserve their custom title through compaction (anthropics/claude-code#26121)

7035- Fixed React crash (error #31) when a skill's `argument-hint` in SKILL.md frontmatter uses YAML sequence syntax (e.g., `[topic: foo | bar]`) — the value is now properly coerced to a string (anthropics/claude-code#25826)
7036- Fixed crash when using `/fork` on sessions that used web search — null entries in search results from transcript deserialization are now handled gracefully (anthropics/claude-code#25811)
