Claude code release notes

Update Jul 16, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.211

Added --forward-subagent-text flag and CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output
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
Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook’s ask decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook ask now floors the decision at a prompt
Fixed parallel Claude Code sessions all logging out simultaneously after wake-from-sleep when many sessions share one credential store
Fixed plugin MCP servers not reconnecting after an idle web session woke, leaving MCP calls failing until the next message
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
Fixed subagents spawned with an explicit model override reverting to the parent’s model when resumed or sent a follow-up message
Fixed nested .claude/rules/*.md files loading even when setting sources exclude project settings
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
Fixed file uploads to Claude in Chrome from remote and CLI sessions
Fixed edits that leave the input as “?” being silently swallowed and toggling the shortcuts panel
Fixed a startup hang when the Claude in Chrome extension is enabled but Chrome is not running
Fixed a 300ms delay revealing async content (Settings tabs, Stats, diff views, and other loading states)
Fixed reopening a just-stopped background session from the agents view starting a blank conversation under the same session id
Fixed /loop hiding the session from /resume after a single use
Fixed screen reader users losing the audible terminal bell after /terminal-setup or onboarding terminal setup
Fixed background jobs on LLM gateway auth (ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN + ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL) coming back “Not logged in” after the daemon respawns them
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
Fixed /clear not resetting the session cost counter — the statusline’s cost now starts at $0 after /clear
Fixed Claude in Chrome setup pages failing to open in the browser on Windows
Fixed headless print-mode sessions on Windows crashing or silently exiting when stdin is unreadable
Fixed background session titles in the agents view showing the naming model’s refusal text when the prompt contains a link
Fixed background agents killed by the user auto-respawning, and revived agents re-running stale prompts from old sessions
Fixed routines with no schedule reporting a next run time in the year 1
Hardened synced skill/plugin directory naming on Windows and kept CCR web fetch/search proxies working after /clear
Improved terminal layout and rendering performance
Improved background agent result reporting — Claude now reports the status of still-running agents and waits for the real completion instead of fabricating results
Improved the memory index over-limit warning to measure only loaded content, excluding frontmatter and HTML comments
Updated integer environment variables (timeouts, token budgets, retry counts) to accept scientific notation and digit-separator spellings like 1e6 and 64_000
Updated documentation links to the current docs sites
Changed “always allow” permission rules to save at the repository root, so approvals granted in a git worktree persist across sessions and worktrees
Changed /usage-credits to ask for confirmation before sending a request to organization admins
Changed Vim mode s and S (substitute char/line) to work in NORMAL mode, matching vim behavior
[VSCode] Updated the Remote Control banner to describe what it does
Claude in Chrome: hardened file-upload path validation
Claude in Chrome: save_to_disk on screenshot actions now writes the image to disk and returns the path; previously it did nothing
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.

2.1.210

Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck
Added a startup warning for Write(path), NotebookEdit(path), and Glob(path) permission rules — use Edit(path) or Read(path) instead
Fixed isolation: 'worktree' subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree
Fixed the ultracode keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated input such as webhook payloads and relayed PR comments
Fixed a rendered text fragment leaking into crash telemetry when a UI component returned content outside a styled text element
Fixed paste markers leaking into external editors opened from Claude Code, which could appear as stray È/É characters around pasted text
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
Fixed a session crash when a tool’s result renderer returned a numeric bigint value or plain text instead of a UI element
Fixed a hook callback timeout being misreported to the model as a user rejection, which made unattended sessions stop and wait
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
Fixed plugin-provided MCP servers being torn down when MCP servers are re-synced mid-session
Fixed plan approvals without edits being labeled “(edited by user)” and overwriting the plan file with a stale snapshot
Fixed /doctor skipping its auto-mode-default proposal on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, where auto mode no longer needs an opt-in
Fixed Grep content mode claiming “No matches found” when paginating past the end of results
Fixed unmatched $1/$2 positional placeholders in skills and commands being silently stripped; they are now preserved verbatim
Fixed plugin cache writes leaving temp files behind on failure and failing on locked-file renames on Windows and network filesystems
Fixed background workers crash-looping when a client resets its connection to the background service
Fixed claude agents --effort ultracode not reaching dispatched sessions; the value was silently dropped
Fixed pressing ← to open the agents view dropping the task tracker when returning to the session
Fixed the agents dashboard retaining pasted images from abandoned reply drafts after their session was deleted
Fixed killed background sessions leaving a permanent git worktree lock behind; the periodic sweep now releases locks whose owning process is gone
Fixed SDK MCP servers registered via an initialize control request waiting until the next turn to start connecting
Fixed returning to the agents view from a session leaving overlapping ghost frames with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ALTERNATE_SCREEN=1
Fixed late-appearing .claude/* symlinks not being reconciled into the sandbox deny-write list
Hardened the Agent tool against indirect prompt injection via content a subagent read
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
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
Improved the bundled dataviz skill’s chart color validation with perceptual OKLab color difference and recalibrated color-blindness thresholds
Memory writes that leave a MEMORY.md index over its read limit now produce an explicit error instead of silent truncation
Screen reader mode now announces permission mode changes aloud when cycling modes with Shift+Tab
The agents footer hint now shows how many background agents are waiting on your input, with a brief color emphasis when the count changes
Agent view: the session you pressed ← from stays visibly marked even after mouse hover or arrow keys move the selection
Fable temporarily shows as unavailable in the advisor picker while a server-side issue causing Fable advisor failures is fixed

Update Jul 11, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.207

Auto mode is now available without CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via disableAutoMode in settings
Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
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
Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
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
Fixed compound commands with cd prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to /dev/null
Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
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
Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, .ignore, and .worktreeinclude breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
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
Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent “unknown” — chips now show the source hostname
Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed [Pasted text #N] placeholder instead of adding a second one
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
Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
Changed auto mode to no longer read autoMode from .claude/settings.local.json (repo-resident); use ~/.claude/settings.json instead
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.
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).
Plugin option values (pluginConfigs) are no longer read from project-level .claude/settings.json; only user, --settings, and managed settings are honored
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

Update Jul 10, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.206

Added directory path suggestions to /cd, matching /add-dir behavior
Added a /doctor check that proposes trimming checked-in CLAUDE.md files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
/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
Gateway: /login now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
EnterWorktree now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project’s .claude/worktrees/ directory
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
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
Fixed claude --resume and --continue not responding to keyboard input on startup
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
Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY being silently ignored by claude agents / --bg background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
Fixed --permission-prompt-tool pointing at an MCP server crashing with “MCP tool not found” on cold start before the server finishes connecting
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
Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the /model picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing “running” after a slash command was sent mid-turn
Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare claude --resume on Windows
Fixed claude rm leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in claude agents
Fixed /remote-control showing “Unknown command” when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
Fixed /status listing the same broken-install warning twice
Fixed false “disused plugin” tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
Fixed /doctor‘s update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask’s channel instead of the settings channel
Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an awsCredentialExport helper on networks with restricted egress
Improved /code-review findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted

Update Jul 9, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.205

Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
Fixed --json-schema silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the format keyword being rejected
Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the --max-turns limit
Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
Fixed background agents staying shown as “failed” or “completed” in the agent list after being resumed with SendMessage
Fixed background jobs flipping from “needs input” back to “working” in the agent list when the agent’s turn contained no readable text
Fixed claude attach erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
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
Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale “Running” status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
Improved auto mode to ask before running rm -rf on a variable it can’t resolve from context
Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater’s peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in claude agents
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
/doctor is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; /checkup is its alias
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
Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with “Not logged in · Please run /login” on CLI 2.1.203+

Update Jul 8, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.203

Added a warning when your login is about to expire, so you can re-authenticate before background sessions are interrupted
Added a grey ⏸ badge to the footer when in manual permission mode, making the active mode always visible
Added the session’s additional working directories to MCP roots/list, with notifications/roots/list_changed sent when the set changes
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)
Fixed background sessions becoming permanently unresponsive to attach, replies, and stop when the daemon’s session token went stale — the session now recovers automatically
Fixed returning to claude agents silently stopping running subagents and re-running the prompt from scratch — their work now carries over
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
Fixed background agents inheriting a stale PATH from the daemon instead of the dispatching shell, causing missing tools on Windows
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
Fixed Bash failing with “argument list too long” in repos with many git worktrees
Fixed worktree-isolated subagents sometimes running shell commands in the parent checkout instead of their own worktree
Fixed worktree creation rejecting nested repositories in multi-repo workspaces, leaving background sessions unable to isolate and edit
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
Fixed a background daemon auto-upgrade failure silently killing all running background sessions
Fixed TaskStop and TaskOutput failing to find background agents spawned by another agent — errors now list running agents by id and description
Fixed the claude agents composer discarding your typed message when a slash command isn’t available there
Fixed the agent list crashing when opening a stopped session whose conversation was already open in another session
Fixed background sessions showing “Needs input” in the agent list after the question was already answered
Fixed background agent startup failures showing only “exit_with_message” instead of the actual error

Fixed literal ^[[I / ^[[O escape codes being printed when reattaching to a background session
Fixed LSP-only plugins being incorrectly flagged for disuse when their language servers deliver diagnostics or answer navigation requests
Improved responsiveness while long responses stream: live-preview updates no longer re-render the whole screen
Improved subagent behavior: agents are now less likely to re-delegate their entire task to another subagent
Reduced binary size by ~7 MB and startup memory by ~7 MB by loading a large bundled dependency lazily instead of inlining it
Changed left arrow to no longer close the background tasks, diff, and workflow detail views — press Esc instead
Changed the empty claude agents view to always show the organized sections (Needs input / Working / Completed) with descriptions
Removed the startup “claude command missing or broken” warnings — they now appear in /doctor and /status instead

Update Jul 7, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.202

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
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
Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning the history file
Fixed /rename on background sessions being reverted when the job restarts, which broke addressing the session by its new name
Fixed transient mTLS handshake failures when settings were re-applied during an in-place client certificate rotation
Fixed commands sent from Remote Control (mobile/web) into an interactive session failing with “Unknown command”
Fixed images and files sent from the Remote Control mobile or web app without a caption being silently dropped
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
Fixed opening a chat from claude agents sometimes failing with “currently running as a background agent” followed by a worker crash/respawn loop
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
Fixed voice dictation retrying in an unbounded loop when the microphone or audio recorder fails — repeated capture failures now pause voice input
Fixed /remote-control sessions showing the wrong permission mode in the mobile and web apps
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
Fixed installer and updater downloads failing immediately with “aborted” when a proxy or network drops the connection mid-download — transient connection drops now retry
Fixed re-invoking an already-loaded skill appending a duplicate copy of its instructions to context
Improved /workflows agent list layout: wider titles, a dedicated time column, shorter model names, and no per-row tool-call counts
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”
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

Update Jul 3, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.199

Stacked slash-skill invocations like /skill-a /skill-b do XYZ now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
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
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
Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
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
Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with “Could not switch to audit session” (regression in 2.1.196)
Fixed claude stop being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
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
Fixed SessionStart, Setup, and SubagentStart hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
Fixed claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand> being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
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
Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
Fixed backgrounding a session with ← or /background dropping its /color from the agent view row
Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only browser_batch calls are now correctly auto-allowed
Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
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
claude agents session rows now show pull-request links as bare #N without the redundant “PR” label

Update Jul 2, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.198

Claude in Chrome is now generally available
Added background agent notifications in claude agents — sessions that need input or finish now fire the Notification hook (agent_needs_input / agent_completed)
Added /dataviz skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
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
The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session’s model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session’s extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on “Running” after they finish or after resuming a session
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
Fixed the /diff panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with “Please run /login” when the STS token expires — awsAuthRefresh now runs automatically
Fixed “no route to host” for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
Fixed /desktop failing with “Cannot determine working directory” after entering and exiting a worktree
Fixed background agents repeatedly showing “Reconnecting…” every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
Fixed pressing ← inside claude attach <id> exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
Fixed claude --bg silently creating an unattachable session when combined with --print/-p; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
Fixed .claude/rules/ conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
Fixed /branch deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
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
/login now opens the sign-in dialog from the claude agents view instead of saying it isn’t available
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
Removed the /agents wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit .claude/agents/ directly

Update Jun 30, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.196

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
Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
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
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
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
Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session’s turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
Fixed PowerShell git diff/git grep, egrep/fgrep, and quoted search patterns containing | being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
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
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
Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
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
Fixed claude plugin validate skipping local plugins whose source is “.” and stopping after the first error class
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
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
Fixed /context showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
Fixed /deep-research misreporting verifier failures as “all claims refuted” instead of unverified
Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
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
Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
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
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
Improved /code-review workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
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.
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
Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single ← press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions

Added CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll
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.
Fixed voice dictation on macOS capturing silence in long-running sessions after the default input device changes
Fixed voice dictation auto-submit never firing for languages written without spaces (Japanese, Chinese, Thai)
Fixed external plugins enabled only by project .claude/settings.json not requiring explicit install consent on every loader path

Fixed background jobs disappearing from claude agents or losing data when written by a newer Claude Code version
Fixed reopening a crashed background task showing a blank screen for up to 5 seconds instead of its restart
Fixed background agent daemons running unreachable when the control socket fails to start, blocking restarts
Improved voice mode on Linux: now distinguishes “no microphone” from “SoX not installed” when SoX is present but no audio capture device exists
Improved claude agents completed list to fill available vertical space; on short terminals the header compacts so live sessions stay visible
Improved Remote session startup with a provisioning checklist while the container starts

2.1.193

Added autoMode.classifyAllShell setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and /permissions recent denials
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.
Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (!)
Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at /mcp
Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1)
Fixed /model and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after /login
Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with “N background tasks would be abandoned” when all running tasks carry over to the new session
Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to “Continue from where you left off” after every auto-update
Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom “general-purpose (resumed)” subagent that re-ran the main conversation
Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to “end your response” — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
Improved MCP headersHelper auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace renames maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
Improved /add-dir message when the directory is already a working directory

2.1.191

Added /rewind support for resuming a conversation from before /clear was run
Fixed scroll position jumping to the bottom while reading earlier output during a streaming response
Fixed background agents resurrecting after being stopped — stopping an agent from the tasks panel is now permanent

Fixed /login URL opening truncated in Windows Terminal when it wraps across lines
Fixed Cmd+click on links in fullscreen mode for Ghostty over ssh/tmux
Fixed claude agents sending builtin slash commands like /usage to background sessions as prompt text instead of showing a hint
Fixed claude agents job rows showing full filesystem paths for pasted images instead of the [Image #N] placeholder
Fixed hooks with comma-separated matchers (e.g. "Bash,PowerShell") silently never firing
Fixed /permissions Recently-denied tab: approving a denial now persists on close instead of being silently discarded
Fixed the agent panel jumping by one row when scrolling the roster past the overflow cap
Fixed the welcome splash art overflowing the default 80×24 macOS Terminal window
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
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
Improved MCP server reliability: capability discovery (tools/list, prompts/list, resources/list) now retries transient network errors with short backoff
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
Improved MCP error messages: HTTP 404 errors now show the URL and point to your MCP config
Improved vim mode prompt-history search (NORMAL /) to hint how to reach slash commands
Reduced CPU usage during streaming responses by ~37% by coalescing text updates to 100ms
Reduced long-session memory growth from terminal output cache

Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Ghostty on macOS
Fixed claude --help not listing the --bg/--background flag
Fixed Esc, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-D not working while /share is uploading

Improved /btw with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers
Improved /plugin to surface plugins you haven’t used recently so you can clean them up
[VSCode] Fixed extension becoming unresponsive when resuming a large session

Fixed agent teams: teammates spawned via tmux/pane backends now inherit the leader’s --effort level
Fixed Workflow agent({schema}) subagents looping forever on repeated schema validation failures instead of aborting after 5 attempts
Improved claude mcp get and claude mcp remove to suggest the closest configured server name on a typo and truncate long server lists

2.1.183

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

Added attribution.sessionUrl setting to omit the claude.ai session link from commits and PRs in web and Remote Control sessions
Added /config --help to list all available shorthand keys for /config key=value
Changed /config toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting

Fixed user-level skills appearing multiple times in slash-command autocomplete when multiple plugins are enabled
Fixed MCP servers requiring authentication exposing auth-stub tools to the model in headless/SDK mode
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
Fixed background tasks started by a teammate being killed when the teammate finishes a turn
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

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
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
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/
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
Improved /doctor with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
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
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
/bug now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title

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

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
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
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

/workflows now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
Improved TaskCreate reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
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
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
Background sessions now preserve --ide, --chrome, --bare, --remote-control, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened

claude agents --json now includes waitingFor showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)
--tools: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)
/effort now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions
Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run
Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message
Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the /ide menu, /terminal-setup, and /scroll-speed, following the editor’s rebrand
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
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
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
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
Fixed API 400 no low surrogate in string errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary
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
Fixed the LSP tool’s workspaceSymbol operation returning no results; it now accepts a query parameter and passes it to the language server
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
Fixed claude agents truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width
Fixed claude agents attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart
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

Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start
Fixed cross-session messaging (SendMessage) silently breaking when CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR or $TMPDIR points at a deep directory
Fixed opening a running background session from claude agents stalling for 5 seconds before attaching
Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch
Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix
Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away
Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block
Improved background service startup and claude update verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds

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.
Added vimInsertModeRemaps setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like jj to Escape in vim mode
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
Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and “Other” input rows in fullscreen mode
Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings
Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts
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
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
Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight
Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from claude -p
Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (1e6 became 1)
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
Fixed the Edit tool failing on files modified after reading when the target text still matches uniquely
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
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
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
Fixed /upgrade showing a login flow instead of the upgrade URL when the browser fails to open
Fixed stream-json input killing the session on blank CRLF or whitespace-only lines from Windows-style SDK hosts
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
Fixed repeated “No completion record was found” notices on session resume — orphaned background tasks now collapse into a single summary
Fixed Remote Control clients attaching to a terminal-hosted session not seeing background agents and workflow progress until a task started or stopped
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
Fixed /usage showing stale cached bars over fresher data, and /mcp not reclassifying placeholder servers after config edits
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
Fixed the workflow save dialog showing ~/.claude/workflows/ instead of the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR location for user-scope saves
Fixed /release-notes adding the viewed notes to the model’s context — “Show all” previously injected the entire changelog into every subsequent request
Fixed a memory leak in the agent view where pasted images were retained for the screen’s lifetime after sending peek replies
Fixed SDK sessions losing agents defined via the initialize request when a plugin refresh ran before the client attached
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
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
Fixed multi-second per-turn slowdowns in sessions with many permission deny/ask rules — rule matchers are now compiled once and cached
Improved input responsiveness while agent task lists update — task updates no longer re-render the entire UI
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)
Reduced memory usage by bounding the file edit read cache to 16 MB instead of pinning up to 1,000 full files
Reduced session transcript size (up to 79x in edit-heavy sessions) and bounded checkpoint disk usage by pruning superseded file-history backups
Reduced memory usage when resuming sessions with background agents or forks spawned from large conversations
Completed background agents now stay listed in /tasks until cleanup instead of vanishing the moment they finish
Attaching to a stopped background agent now shows its transcript immediately while the session warms up, instead of a blank “Session is starting” screen
Background sessions: an older daemon no longer silently restarts workers spawned by a newer version onto the older binary
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
Catastrophic removals (e.g. rm -rf ~) in commands containing $(…)/backticks/<(…) now prompt in --dangerously-skip-permissions and auto mode, matching the plain form
/install-github-app and the /mcp settings menu no longer open in background sessions
MCP servers configured with an empty URL now show as “not configured” in /mcp instead of a config error
/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
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)

2.1.200

Changed AskUserQuestion dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via /config
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
Fixed a crash at startup when disabledMcpServers or enabledMcpServers in .claude.json is set to a non-array value
Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale daemon.lock whose PID the OS reused
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
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
Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
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
Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
Fixed /mcp server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading “Voice connection failed” message when a recording captures no audio
Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as Header: value. lines
Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory

Update Jul 3, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.198

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)
Claude in Chrome is now generally available
Added background agent notifications in claude agents — sessions that need input or finish now fire the Notification hook (agent_needs_input / agent_completed)
Added /dataviz skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
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
The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session’s model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session’s extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on “Running” after they finish or after resuming a session
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
Fixed the /diff panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with “Please run /login” when the STS token expires — awsAuthRefresh now runs automatically
Fixed “no route to host” for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
Fixed /desktop failing with “Cannot determine working directory” after entering and exiting a worktree
Fixed background agents repeatedly showing “Reconnecting…” every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
Fixed pressing ← inside claude attach <id> exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
Fixed claude --bg silently creating an unattachable session when combined with --print/-p; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
Fixed .claude/rules/ conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
Fixed /branch deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
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
/login now opens the sign-in dialog from the claude agents view instead of saying it isn’t available
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
Removed the /agents wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit .claude/agents/ directly

Update Jun 17, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.178

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
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
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/
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
Improved /doctor with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
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
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
/bug now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
Fixed nested .claude/skills skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
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
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
Fixed compaction not honoring --fallback-model: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
Fixed background sessions created with /bg or ←← after a turn finished showing “Working” forever in the agents list
Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when .claude/skills or .claude/hooks is a symlink
Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1 preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
Fixed MCP server-level specs (mcp__server, mcp__server__*, mcp__*) in subagent disallowedTools being silently ignored
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
Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. vscode://) not opening when clicked in claude agents
[VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task

2.1.174

Added wheelScrollAccelerationEnabled setting to disable mouse-wheel scroll acceleration in fullscreen mode
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
Fixed /model picker showing a hardcoded Sonnet version label when ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL pins a different Sonnet
Fixed the “Fable 5 is now consuming usage credits” banner incorrectly showing for enterprise accounts with usage-based billing
Fixed Bedrock GovCloud regions (us-gov-*) deriving the wrong inference profile prefix (global instead of us-gov), causing 400 errors on derived model IDs
Fixed background sessions inheriting another session’s ANTHROPIC_* provider env (gateway URL, custom headers, /model aliases) from the shell that started the background daemon
Fixed a 1-2 second pause when exiting Claude Code shortly after a shell command was interrupted or killed on macOS and Linux
Fixed git commit co-author attribution showing an incorrect model name for some models
Fixed the /advisor dialog pre-selecting a saved advisor model that is blocked by the availableModels allowlist
Fixed skill hot-reload re-sending the entire skill listing when a single skill changed; only changed skills are now re-announced
Fixed Workflow tool agent() subagents missing per-agent attribution headers
[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
Fixed pre-warmed background workers failing with “Could not resolve authentication method” when claimed after sitting idle

2.1.172

Sub-agents can now spawn their own sub-agents (up to 5 levels deep)
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
Added a search bar when browsing a marketplace’s plugins in /plugin
Added model attribute to the claude_code.lines_of_code.count OTEL metric
Fixed sessions using 1M context without usage credits getting permanently stuck — the session now automatically compacts back under the standard context limit
Fixed a repeating “an image in the conversation could not be processed and was removed” error when the conversation contained multiple images
Fixed the agents view keeping a session under Working with a busy spinner for up to 30 seconds after the worker replied
Fixed background agents potentially reading another directory’s project settings (.mcp.json approvals, trust) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
Fixed background-session attach failing with EAUTH for sessions started on an older version after the daemon auto-updated
Fixed a background sub-agent staying stuck as “active” in the agent panel after a nested agent it spawned was stopped
Fixed /model suggestions in the claude agents dispatch input rendering with a misleading slash prefix and showing models disabled for your org
Fixed availableModels restrictions not being applied to subagent model overrides, the agent dispatch model picker, and the advisor model
Fixed availableModels allowlists hiding the /model picker’s Opus and Sonnet 1M rows when entries use version-specific IDs like claude-opus-4-8
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
Fixed model IDs getting a doubled 1M-context suffix (e.g. [1M][1m]) when ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL already includes one
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
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
Fixed up-arrow prompt history showing the main agent’s prompts while a subagent’s chat tab is open
Fixed memory recall not finding mounted team memory stores (CLAUDE_MEMORY_STORES) in remote sessions
Fixed workflow validation rejecting scripts whose prompt strings or comments merely mention Date.now()/Math.random()
Disable mouse tracking on Windows consoles that don’t fully support it
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
Improved performance in long conversations by removing redundant message normalization and avoiding full message-history transforms when streaming tool-use state is unchanged
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
Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool
Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model
/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
Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to “/rc active” and hid it on narrow terminals
Stopped promoting /loop in remote sessions, where pending loops don’t keep the container alive
[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

Update Jun 10, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.169

Self-hosted runner: added a post-session lifecycle hook that runs after the session ends and before the workspace is deleted, so you can snapshot uncommitted work or export logs; also made the child-process SIGTERM→SIGKILL window configurable (default unchanged at 5s)
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
Added /cd command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
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
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
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
Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
Fixed claude -p being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on “reconnecting” after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
Fixed Git Credential Manager’s “Connect to GitHub” popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
Fixed footer hints (e.g. “esc to interrupt”) not showing for users with a custom statusline
Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
Fixed claude agents --json omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added --all to include completed sessions, plus new id and state fields
Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings env values (e.g. ANTHROPIC_MODEL) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
Fixed plugin .in_use PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
/workflows now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
Improved TaskCreate reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
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
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
Background sessions now preserve --ide, --chrome, --bare, --remote-control, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before EnterWorktree
The “CLAUDE.md is too long” warning threshold now scales with the model’s context window
Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once claude.exe is held by another process
Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
Added a tip suggesting claude agents when running multiple concurrent sessions

Update Jun 6, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.166

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
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
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
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)
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
claude update now announces the target version before downloading instead of going silent
claude agents: typing a URL into the list now filters to the session whose first prompt contained it
Fixed a recurring “image could not be processed” error and extra token usage when an unprocessable image was sent in a session
Fixed remote sessions becoming permanently stuck when a brief backend disruption occurred during worker registration at startup
Fixed flickering in JetBrains IDE terminals (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.) on 2026.1+ by enabling synchronized output

Fixed orphaned claude --bg-pty-host processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon dies while connected on macOS
Fixed voice mode requiring /login to clear a stale auth check after toggling /voice
Fixed managed settings with an invalid entry silently disabling enforcement of their remaining valid policies
Fixed managed-settings allowedMcpServers/deniedMcpServers predicates not matching when they use ${VAR} references
Fixed background agent sessions that entered a git worktree crash-looping with “No conversation found” when reopened from claude agents
Fixed duplicated thinking text in the Ctrl+O transcript view while streaming
Fixed /doctor showing a contradictory failed “Not inside a remote session” check when run inside a remote session
Fixed the cursor sticking at the end of the first line when typing a multiline prompt in the claude agents dispatch and reply inputs
Fixed blank lines appearing between background agent rows in the task list on terminals without Unicode support

Update Jun 5, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.163

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
Added /plugin list command to list installed plugins, with --enabled/--disabled filters
Added a “c to copy” shortcut to /btw that copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
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
Skills: added \$ escape syntax to include a literal $ before a digit in command bodies
stdio MCP servers now receive the same CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID as hooks/Bash on --resume
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
Fixed claude -p failing with “ANTHROPIC_API_KEY required” on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry when CI=true and no Anthropic API key is set
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)
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
Fixed org-managed permission rules not applying for the entire session when the managed settings fetch completed during startup on a fresh config directory
Fixed background sessions in claude agents losing their running background tasks when reattached after a Claude Code update
Fixed terminal misalignment and a multi-second hang when exiting the agent view by pressing Esc
Fixed clicking Stop on a background-task chip in the desktop app not clearing the chip when the underlying process was already gone
Fixed keyboard input becoming permanently unresponsive after a paste operation whose end marker is dropped by the terminal
Fixed hook if: "Bash(...)" conditions firing on every Bash command containing $() or $VAR; the pattern now matches against commands inside subshells and backticks too
Fixed deny rules on home-directory paths (e.g. Read(~/Desktop/**)) not blocking Bash commands that reference the path via $HOME
Fixed a stray “(no content)” line left in the transcript after closing panel dialogs like /mcp and /plugins
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
Clearer descriptions for built-in commands and skills in the / menu
The subscription-switch suggestion now shows in the startup announcement slot instead of a toast
claude agents dispatching from the state-grouped view now starts the session in the directory the agent view was opened from

2.1.161

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
claude agents rows now show done/total before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item
/mcp now collapses claude.ai connectors you’ve never signed in to behind a “Show unused connectors” row
Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
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
Fixed the /effort dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the “Reduce motion” setting
Fixed forceLoginOrgUUID/forceLoginMethod managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)

Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., /usr/bin/bash script.sh) failing with “command not found” or “cannot execute binary file”
Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (user_prompt, api_request, tool_result, tool_decision) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed
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

Fixed background sessions dispatched from claude agents booting on a stale model from the daemon’s environment instead of the model in settings.json
Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result

Update Jun 4, 2026 tracked by Updatify

2.1.160

Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (.zshenv, .zlogin, .bash_login) and ~/.config/git/, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution
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.)
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
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
Fixed restoring a completed session from claude agents dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt
Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt

Fixed valid file:///C:/... links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support
Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters
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
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
Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting --model when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn’t apply
Fixed Claude’s past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off
Fixed vim mode p pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with v$
Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in claude agents
Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of “could not evaluate this action” blocks
Improved background-session teardown (claude rm/stop, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run
Removed CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE; the environment variable is now a no-op
Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup
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

2.1.178

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.
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
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
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/
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
Improved /doctor with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
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
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
/bug now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
Fixed nested .claude/skills skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
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
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
Fixed compaction not honoring --fallback-model: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
Fixed background sessions created with /bg or ←← after a turn finished showing “Working” forever in the agents list
Fixed Linux sandbox failing to start when .claude/skills or .claude/hooks is a symlink
Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1 preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
Fixed MCP server-level specs (mcp__server, mcp__server__*, mcp__*) in subagent disallowedTools being silently ignored
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
Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. vscode://) not opening when clicked in claude agents
[VSCode] Fixed pressing Esc to dismiss a CJK IME candidate window canceling the running Claude task

2.1.157

Plugins in .claude/skills directories are now automatically loaded, no marketplace required
Added claude plugin init <name> to scaffold a new plugin in .claude/skills
Added autocomplete for /plugin arguments: subcommands, installed plugin names, and plugins from known marketplaces
claude agents: the agent field in settings.json is now honored for dispatched sessions, with --agent <name> to override it
EnterWorktree can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session
tool_decision telemetry events now include tool_parameters (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1
Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so git worktree remove/prune can clean them up
Fixed unprocessable images (zero-byte, corrupt) attached via paste, MCP, or dialog crashing the request instead of becoming a text placeholder
Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK
Fixed claude agents completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell
Fixed claude agents pressing Esc not cancelling a slow “opening…”, leaving the list unresponsive
Fixed background agent worktrees under .claude/worktrees/ being orphaned after the 30-day job retention sweep
Fixed background sessions re-attached after a sleep/wake not telling the model the correct date
Fixed copy-on-select in claude agents not reaching the system clipboard inside tmux with set-clipboard on (regression in 2.1.153)
Fixed --resume not reporting background subagents that were running when the previous Claude Code process exited
Fixed the --resume session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode
Fixed --worktree and --worktree --tmux returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree
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
Fixed literal markdown markers (backticks, asterisks) appearing in the in-progress message text in fullscreen mode
Fixed the terminal freezing after approving the managed-settings security dialog at startup
Fixed a rare duplicate line appearing in scrollback after the terminal UI redraws
Fixed right-click paste duplicating the clipboard in the VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf integrated terminals
WSL: fixed image paste (alt+v keybinding), screenshot paste on Windows 11, and added support for dragging images from Windows Explorer
Improved performance of long and resumed conversations by eliminating redundant message-rendering recomputations
/terminal-setup now disables GPU acceleration in VS Code/Cursor/Windsurf integrated terminals to prevent garbled-text rendering
The Feature of the Week credit-claim status now appears as a notification in the status area instead of a line above the prompt
claude agents: slash-command autocomplete in the dispatch input now matches substrings
Removed the “bash commands will be sandboxed” startup banner — sandbox status still shows in /status and when a command is blocked
Removed the “/ide for …” startup hint toast
[IDE] Fixed clicking Stop while a background subagent is running not actually stopping it
[VSCode] Fixed the fast mode indicator not appearing on Opus 4.8
Pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword now dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w) instead of deleting a character
Added a “Workflow keyword trigger” setting in /config to stop the word “workflow” in a prompt from triggering a dynamic workflow
