Managed-settings auth policies now enforced; background sessions use correct model

↗This release3 featuresNew capabilities3 enhancementsImprovements to existing features15 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.161

What's changed

  • 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 background subagent output corrupting claude -p stdout when using --output-format text or json
  • Fixed /usage-credits starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page
  • Fixed /autofix-pr reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository
  • Fixed --resume picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)
  • 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 Workflow agents spawned with isolation: "worktree" in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree
  • 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
  • Fixed EADDRINUSE errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under $TMPDIR when CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR is set to a deep path
  • Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
  • Improved rendering performance for large file writes
  • [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running /terminal-setup) to fix garbled glyphs

Shell startup files now prompt before write; background sessions retain chat history

↗This release2 featuresNew capabilities5 enhancementsImprovements to existing features15 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.160

What's changed

  • 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 claude --bg occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine
  • Fixed an issue on Windows where the directory a background session was started in could not be deleted after claude rm until the background daemon exited
  • Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list
  • Fixed claude agents freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit
  • Fixed Esc, arrow keys, and typing becoming unresponsive on Windows when attached to a background session or in the agent view while the host is under heavy CPU load
  • Fixed background agents emitting terminal sync-output markers to terminals that don't support them (Apple Terminal, tmux), causing render artifacts when entering a running agent
  • Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list
  • Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the claude agents view
  • 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

Auto mode available on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry

↗This release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.158

What's changed

  • Auto mode is now available on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry for Opus 4.7 and Opus 4.8. Opt in by setting CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE=1

Plugins auto-load from .claude/skills; worktree orphaning fixed

↗This release4 featuresNew capabilities6 enhancementsImprovements to existing features15 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.157

What's changed

  • 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

Dynamic workflows launch; Opus 4.8 defaults to lean system prompt

↗This release12 featuresNew capabilities8 enhancementsImprovements to existing features25 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.154

What's changed

  • Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks
  • Introducing dynamic workflows: ask Claude to create a workflow and it orchestrates work across tens to hundreds of agents in the background, so you can take on larger, more complex tasks. Run /workflows to view your runs
  • Fast mode on Opus 4.8 is now available at a fraction of its previous cost: 2x the standard rate for 2.5x the speed
  • The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier
  • Claude now reserves the multiple-choice question prompt for decisions it genuinely cannot make itself, instead of asking when it already has enough context to proceed
  • /simplify now runs a cleanup-only review (reuse, simplification, efficiency, altitude) and applies the fixes, instead of running the full /code-review --fix bug-hunting review
  • Renamed the /effort slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity
  • claude agents: type ! <command> to run a shell command as a background session you can attach to and detach from. Also available as claude --bg --exec '<command>'
  • claude agents: /logout now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session
  • ←← to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled
  • Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via /chrome → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected
  • Plugins can now declare defaultEnabled: false in plugin.json or a marketplace entry; enable them with /plugin or claude plugin enable. Dependencies of enabled plugins are still enabled automatically
  • The /plugin Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation
  • Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)
  • Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID and CLAUDECODE=1 in their environment
  • claude mcp list/get now show unapproved .mcp.json servers as ⏸ Pending approval instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped
  • /remote-control autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active
  • Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the /claude-api skill
  • Deprecated CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE (will be removed on 06/01). To use fast mode on Opus 4.6, switch with /model claude-opus-4-6[1m] and then /fast on
  • Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents
  • Fixed rm -rf $HOME not being blocked as a dangerous path when HOME has a trailing slash
  • Fixed $TMPDIR resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session
  • Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in claude agents when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background
  • Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models
  • Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled /command fires
  • Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle
  • Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period
  • Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout
  • Fixed orphaned claude --bg-pty-host processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS
  • Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs
  • Fixed worktree.baseRef: "head" resolving to the main checkout's HEAD instead of the current worktree's HEAD when spawning subagents or calling EnterWorktree from inside a linked worktree
  • Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width
  • Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces
  • Fixed plan file names including [Image #N] / [Pasted text #N] placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text
  • Fixed a phantom expand/click affordance on colored tool output: short ANSI-colored lines that fit on screen no longer show a "ctrl+o to expand" hint
  • Fixed a single invalid allowedMcpServers/deniedMcpServers entry in managed settings discarding all managed-settings policy; the bad entry is now dropped with a claude doctor warning
  • Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT is set
  • Windows: Fixed update failures caused by claude.exe being in use showing a generic error instead of telling you to close other sessions and retry
  • Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel
  • [VSCode] Auto mode no longer requires the bypass-permissions setting to appear in the mode picker, and a dismissable notice on the new-session screen explains auto mode the first time it's active
  • Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running
  • Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions
  • Fixed the /model picker not showing fast mode pricing on the Default option for API (pay-as-you-go) users when fast mode is on
  • Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning

MCP servers no longer reconnect-loop; API gateway credential leak fixed

↗This release5 featuresNew capabilities3 enhancementsImprovements to existing features24 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.153

What's changed

  • Added skipLfs option to github/git plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
  • Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; /doctor lists the fixes
  • Status line commands now receive COLUMNS and LINES environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
  • claude agents: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
  • claude agents: PR column now shows PR #N for a single PR or N PRs for multiple
  • claude doctor now shows the result of your last update attempt
  • Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
  • macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
  • Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on tools/list (regression in v2.1.147)
  • Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
  • Fixed subagent (Agent tool) frontmatter MCP servers ignoring --strict-mcp-config, --bare, remote mode, enterprise managed MCP config, and managed-settings MCP server allow/deny policies
  • --strict-mcp-config no longer strips inline mcpServers from explicitly-passed agent definitions (--agents / SDK agents), and blocked subagent MCP servers now surface a visible warning
  • Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
  • Fixed claude update installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
  • Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
  • Fixed claude agents and claude --bg running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
  • Fixed a hang where the CLI could fail to exit when stdin was closed without EOF in stream-json mode, leaving a stale session marker behind
  • Fixed malformed file:// links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
  • Fixed claude --help rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
  • Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
  • Fixed Agent tool with subagent_type: 'claude' running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
  • /bg while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
  • Fixed /btw keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
  • Fixed background sessions writing temp files to $CLAUDE_JOB_DIR triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
  • Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
  • Fixed EnterWorktree not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required ToolSearch first)
  • Fixed cmd+k in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
  • Fixed the IME candidate window appearing at the bottom of the screen instead of next to the input caret in attached background sessions on Windows
  • Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
  • Fixed /copy and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
  • Fixed opening claude agents with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
  • Fixed /rename in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
  • Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
  • [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
  • /model now saves your selection as the default for new sessions (matching the IDE). Press s in the picker to switch models for the current session only.
  • If you customized the modelPicker:setAsDefault keybinding, rename it to modelPicker:thisSessionOnly in keybindings.json (the d action was replaced by s)

Code review auto-fix; skills reload mid-session; Vim reverse search

↗This release12 featuresNew capabilities7 enhancementsImprovements to existing features16 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.152

What's changed

  • /code-review --fix now applies review findings to your working tree after the review, surfacing reuse, simplification, and efficiency suggestions; /simplify now invokes /code-review --fix
  • Skills and slash commands can now set disallowed-tools in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active
  • Added /reload-skills command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session
  • SessionStart hooks can now return reloadSkills: true to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session
  • SessionStart hooks can now set the session title via hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle on startup and resume
  • Added a MessageDisplay hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed
  • Added pluginSuggestionMarketplaces managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips
  • claude plugin marketplace remove now accepts --scope user|project|local for symmetry with marketplace add, install, and uninstall
  • Claude Code now switches to your configured --fallback-model for the rest of the session when the primary model is not found, instead of failing every request
  • Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent
  • Vim mode: / in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode
  • The /usage breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat
  • Thinking summaries in the collapsed group now stay readable for at least 3 seconds, render as markdown, and cap at 10 lines (Ctrl+O shows the full thinking)
  • In fullscreen mode, the "Thinking for Ns" indicator now counts up live while the model is thinking, and keeps its value if you interrupt mid-thought
  • Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt
  • The post-response timer now shows "Waiting for N background agents/workflows to finish" when backgrounded agents or workflows are still running, and reports the cumulative time once their results are processed
  • Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (app.entrypoint, opt-in via OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true)
  • Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool
  • Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout
  • Fixed the loading spinner showing "still thinking"/"almost done thinking" while a tool is running, and reset the thinking status to "thinking" after each tool
  • Fixed focus mode showing a spurious "N messages hidden" count on turns with no hidden activity
  • Fixed clicking a link inside an expanded tool result collapsing the section instead of opening the link
  • Fixed markdown table cell borders inheriting the color of inline code, wrapped continuation lines losing their style, and empty header cells showing a label in the narrow-terminal stacked layout
  • Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated
  • Fixed /doctor reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale enabledPlugins entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins
  • Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt
  • Fixed remote MCP servers failing to connect in Claude Code Remote sessions when the egress proxy is enabled
  • Fixed the effort-change confirmation dialog appearing when the conversation has no messages or when switching between effort levels that resolve to the same underlying value
  • Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with --bare or with attachments disabled
  • Fixed a background worker crash in claude agents when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled
  • Fixed cache_creation_input_tokens reporting as 0 in transcript and result usage when the API reports cache writes only via the nested cache_creation breakdown
  • Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled
  • Fixed sessions getting stuck after a model or login switch left stale thinking-block signatures in history; now stripped proactively with a retry safety-net

PowerShell permission bypass closed; sandbox allowlist scoped

↗This release4 featuresNew capabilities24 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.149

What's changed

  • /usage now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost
  • /diff detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, j/k, PgUp/PgDn, Space, Home/End)
  • Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (- [ ] todo / - [x] done) instead of plain bullets
  • Enterprise: added the allowAllClaudeAiMcps managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside managed-mcp.json
  • Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass: built-in cd functions (cd.., cd\, cd~, X:) changed the working directory undetected, letting a later command read outside the workspace
  • Fixed the sandbox write allowlist in git worktrees covering the entire main repository root instead of only the shared .git directory (with hooks/ and config denied)
  • Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)) not pre-approving native executables and scripts
  • Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for PWD/OLDPWD/DIRSTACK across cd/pushd/popd
  • Fixed find in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees
  • Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup
  • Fixed /ultraplan and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes
  • Fixed otelHeadersHelper failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in /doctor and the debug log
  • Fixed the thinking spinner staying amber across tool calls and onto fresh thinking bursts
  • Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines
  • Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box
  • Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter name: differs from its directory basename
  • Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline /effort setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent effort: frontmatter
  • Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages
  • Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys
  • Fixed /config exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings
  • Fixed /insights crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields
  • Fixed malformed PowerShell and History tool calls with missing input being misclassified as reads in transcript collapsing
  • Fixed renaming a Remote Control session from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app not updating the local session name for claude --resume
  • Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history
  • Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately
  • Improved /feedback reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage

Bash tool exit code 127 regression fixed

↗This release1 fixBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.148

What's changed

  • Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)

Workflow tool for multi-agent orchestration; sandbox escapes hardened

↗This release2 featuresNew capabilities5 enhancementsImprovements to existing features25 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.147

What's changed

  • Added the Workflow tool for deterministic multi-agent orchestration. It is off by default — set CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOWS=1 to enable
  • Pinned background sessions (Ctrl+T in claude agents) now stay alive when idle, are restarted in place to apply Claude Code updates, and are shed under memory pressure only after non-pinned sessions
  • Renamed /simplify to /code-review. It now reports correctness bugs at a chosen effort level (e.g., /code-review high); pass --comment to post findings as inline GitHub PR comments. The old cleanup-and-fix behavior has been removed
  • Hardened REPL and Workflow tool sandboxes against prototype-pollution and thenable-based escapes
  • Improved auto-updater: retries transient network failures, reports specific error categories and OS error codes on failure, and shows the current version when an update fails
  • Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
  • Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy
  • Fixed enterprise login restrictions (forceLoginOrgUUID and forceLoginMethod managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
  • Fixed & in ! command output displaying as &amp;, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like gcloud auth login on headless machines
  • Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message
  • Fixed /help rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode
  • Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them
  • Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple Agent(...) types in tools: frontmatter dropping all but the last entry
  • Fixed hook if conditions like PowerShell(git push*) never matching — only PowerShell(*) worked
  • Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter
  • Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs
  • Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when pwsh is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
  • Fixed /effort opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort
  • Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1
  • Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
  • Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
  • Fixed /background refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
  • Fixed auto mode suppressing AskUserQuestion when the user or a skill explicitly relies on it; the auto-mode classifier now sees the user's answers as intent signal
  • Fixed /theme "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc
  • Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
  • Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows
  • Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters
  • Fixed pasted text being delivered to agents as an unreadable [Pasted text #N] placeholder instead of the actual content
  • Fixed plugin component counts in claude plugin details and /plugin being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories
  • Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
  • Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
  • Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams
  • Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command
  • Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the /plugin, /status, /mobile, /sandbox, and /permissions menus
  • Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present

PowerShell tool works with winget/Store; MCP pagination fixed

↗This release1 featureNew capabilities2 enhancementsImprovements to existing features13 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.146

What's changed

Permission-prompt bypass closed; non-ASCII names now work

↗This release5 featuresNew capabilities2 enhancementsImprovements to existing features13 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.145

What's changed

  • Added claude agents --json to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
  • Added agent_id and parent_agent_id attributes to claude_code.tool OTEL spans, and fixed trace parenting so background subagent spans nest under the dispatching Agent tool span
  • Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
  • /plugin Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
  • claude agents terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
  • Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
  • Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes background_tasks and session_crons fields
  • Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
  • Fixed MCP prompt slash commands showing raw server validation errors when a required argument is omitted — the error now names the missing argument and shows expected usage
  • Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
  • Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses ; as the command separator
  • Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
  • Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
  • Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
  • Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after gh pr create and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
  • Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
  • Fixed /review using a deprecated projectCards GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
  • Fixed claude plugin validate not flagging skills: entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
  • Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using context: fork could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
  • Improved the Read tool to return a truncated first page with a "PARTIAL view" notice instead of a hard error when a whole-file read exceeds the token limit

Background sessions no longer crash on Full Disk Access folders; terminal rendering stabilized

↗This release3 featuresNew capabilities6 enhancementsImprovements to existing features35 fixesBug fixesAI-tallied from the release notes
v2.1.144

What's changed

  • Added /resume support for background sessions — sessions started via claude --bg or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with bg
  • Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
  • The /plugin browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
  • /model now changes the model for the current session only; press d in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
  • Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; /extra-usage is now /usage-credits (old name still works)
  • Fixed startup hanging up to 75s when api.anthropic.com is unreachable (captive portal, firewall, VPN issues) — side-channel API calls now time out after 15s
  • Fixed garbled terminal output after a missed window-resize event (e.g. dragging a VS Code split-pane divider) — now self-heals on the next frame instead of requiring Ctrl+L
  • Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
  • Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
  • Fixed macOS background sessions crashing with "exit 1 before init" when the project lives under a Full Disk Access-protected folder (regression in 2.1.143)
  • Fixed an unrecoverable conversation when reading a file whose image extension doesn't match its contents (e.g. HTML saved as .png) — now falls back to text
  • Fewer spurious tool errors during search: head/tail file views now satisfy the read-before-edit check, and a "no matches" result (exit code 1) from egrep, fgrep, git grep, or git diff is no longer reported as a command failure
  • Fixed /branch failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
  • Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
  • Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or applyFlagSettings after startup
  • Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's /model choice
  • Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the /model picker (regression in v2.1.129)
  • Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with forceLoginMethod and forceLoginOrgUUID set
  • Fixed MCP servers with paginated tools/list responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
  • Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
  • Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-.md files no longer trigger skill reloads
  • Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
  • Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
  • Fixed plugins enabled in your own settings showing "not cached" errors after first load on a fresh machine; plugins enabled only by a project's .claude/settings.json now show an actionable claude plugin install hint
  • Fixed claude mcp list silently reporting no servers when .mcp.json can't be parsed (e.g. using VS Code's "servers" key instead of "mcpServers") — now shows configuration errors
  • Fixed background side-queries on custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL setups and Bedrock Mantle not using Haiku — now falls back correctly when a first-party API key is configured or no Haiku model is set
  • Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
  • Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
  • Fixed ! <cmd> exec sessions not responding to Ctrl+C while attached — now interrupts the running command
  • Fixed agent view shell-command rows lingering under Working after completion, and pressing Enter on a completed row re-running the command after its output expired
  • Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in claude agents leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
  • Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
  • /bg and ←-detach now preserve directories added via /add-dir
  • Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
  • Fixed claude respawn <id> on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
  • Fixed /resume picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
  • Fixed opening a session from claude agents or running claude logs <id> hanging when the background service is unresponsive — now times out after 10s with a recovery hint
  • Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
  • Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
  • Fixed markdown links in claude agents attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
  • Fixed custom spinnerVerbs applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
  • claude agents / --bg rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
  • claude --bg --name <label> now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
  • claude agents: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
  • Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with WorktreeCreate hooks configured
  • Plugin marketplace add/update now respects CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS
  • /plugin now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
  • /doctor now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the command field
  • Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run /doctor for the full breakdown
  • Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
  • Improved SDK/headless MCP startup: pre-wait now overlaps startup instead of blocking before the first turn (up to 2s faster with slow MCP servers)
  • The post-survey follow-up hint now appears after every non-dismiss survey response with context-aware copy, making it easier to share more detail via /feedback.

Plugin dependency enforcement; background sessions preserve model settings

↗
v2.1.143

What's changed

  • Added plugin dependency enforcement: claude plugin disable now refuses when another enabled plugin depends on the target (with a copy-pasteable disable-chain hint), and claude plugin enable force-enables transitive dependencies
  • Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the /plugin marketplace browse pane
  • Added worktree.bgIsolation: "none" setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without EnterWorktree, for repos where worktrees are impractical
  • PowerShell tool now passes -ExecutionPolicy Bypass. Opt out with CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1
  • Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
  • Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
  • Fixed a corrupt .credentials.json with a non-array scopes value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
  • Fixed right-click paste in claude agents on Windows Terminal and WSL
  • Fixed stop hooks that block repeatedly looping forever — the turn now ends with a warning after 8 consecutive blocks (override via CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP)
  • Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending /loop wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
  • Fixed /goal evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
  • Fixed NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR in settings.json env stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
  • Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
  • Fixed /bg without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
  • Fixed --agent <name> not finding plugin-contributed agents without the plugin: prefix
  • Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
  • Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
  • Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
  • Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
  • The PowerShell tool is now enabled by default on Windows for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry users. Opt out with CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=0.
  • claude agents now accepts --add-dir, --settings, --mcp-config, and --plugin-dir and applies them to the dashboard and to background sessions dispatched from it
  • claude agents accepts --permission-mode, --model, --effort, and --dangerously-skip-permissions to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
  • claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions now persists across retire→wake
  • Fixed background sessions silently capturing IDE file references into the warm spare's input, which caused the reference to be prepended to the next prompt dispatched from claude agents
  • Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to rm -rf when git worktree remove fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
  • Fixed background-job sessions on macOS getting "Operation not permitted" errors when reading files under ~/Documents, ~/Desktop, or ~/Downloads, even with Full Disk Access granted.
  • /bg now preserves --mcp-config, --settings, --add-dir, --plugin-dir, and --strict-mcp-config, so backgrounded sessions keep their MCP servers and settings across respawn.
  • Background sessions launched from claude agents now honor permissions.defaultMode from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
  • Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in claude agents while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
  • /bg and ←-detach now preserve --fallback-model, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
  • /bg and ←-detach now preserve --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
  • Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the ~/.local/bin/claude launcher is missing or non-executable
  • Fixed claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle

Fast mode upgraded to Opus 4.7; MCP tool timeout fixed

↗
v2.1.142

What's changed

  • Added new claude agents flags: --add-dir, --settings, --mcp-config, --plugin-dir, --permission-mode, --model, --effort, and --dangerously-skip-permissions to configure dispatched background sessions
  • Fast mode now uses Opus 4.7 by default (previously Opus 4.6). Set CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE=1 to pin fast mode to Opus 4.6
  • Plugins with a root-level SKILL.md and no skills/ subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill
  • The /plugin details pane and claude plugin details now show LSP servers a plugin provides
  • /web-setup warns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection
  • Fixed MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT not raising the per-request fetch timeout for remote HTTP and SSE MCP servers, which capped tool calls at 60 seconds regardless of the configured value
  • Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
  • Fixed background sessions disappearing and daemon reconnect failing after macOS sleep/wake — the daemon now detects clock jumps instead of treating them as elapsed idle time
  • Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. brew upgrade), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
  • Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
  • Fixed clicking links in an attached claude agents session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
  • Fixed claude agents "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's $EDITOR/$VISUAL
  • Fixed claude agents deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
  • Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a claude agents session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
  • Fixed claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions not persisting across retire/wake
  • Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
  • Fixed redundant set_model requests from remote clients injecting duplicate /model breadcrumbs into the transcript
  • Fixed plugins using skills: ["./"] showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error
  • Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
  • Fixed /plugin browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
  • Fixed plugin advisories not naming every plugin.json key that shadows a default folder
  • Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
  • Improved hook configuration error: configuring a prompt- or agent-type hook for SessionStart/Setup/SubagentStart now shows a clear "use a command-type hook instead" error
  • Removed stale /model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages

Permission prompts auto-dismiss on mode switch; background agents move to Completed properly

↗
v2.1.141

What's changed

  • Added CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS to clone GitHub plugin sources over HTTPS instead of SSH, for environments without a GitHub SSH key
  • Added ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID environment variable for workload identity federation — scopes the minted token to a specific workspace when the federation rule covers more than one
  • Added claude agents --cwd <path> to scope the session list to a directory
  • /feedback can now include recent sessions (last 24 hours or 7 days) for issues spanning more than the current session

  • Auto mode permission dialog now explains when a permissions.ask rule caused the prompt
  • Restored the "view diff in your IDE" option on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected
  • Background agents launched via /bg or ←← now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
  • claude agents: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working
  • Improved spinner feedback during long thinking periods — the spinner now warms to amber after 10 seconds to signal Claude is still working
  • Improved plugin menu navigation: →/Tab switch tabs, ↑ moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
  • Fixed background side-queries sending an unavailable Haiku model ID on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway when no ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL override is set — now falls back to the main-loop model
  • Fixed claude daemon status and /doctor on Windows throwing when the daemon pipe key file is locked or unreadable — now shows the underlying error instead of an opaque failure
  • Fixed claude agents showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
  • Fixed claude agents opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
  • Fixed background jobs on a custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL gateway not getting auto-named — the namer now uses the main model when no Haiku model is configured
  • Fixed /model in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
  • Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
  • Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box
  • Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent transcript_path after EnterWorktree switches the working directory
  • Fixed markdown tables with cell wrapping falling back to the vertical key-value layout instead of rendering as a bordered grid (regression in 2.1.136)
  • Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
  • Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
  • Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
  • Fixed alternative chat:submit keybindings (e.g. meta+enter, ctrl+enter) not working when enter is rebound to chat:newline
  • Fixed prompt suggestions being silently disabled when an output style was configured
  • Fixed spinnerVerbs setting not being honored in turn-completion messages
  • Fixed AskUserQuestion popup hiding the last line of preceding chat content
  • Fixed Web Search status showing "Did 0 searches" when searches returned errors
  • Fixed multi-line statusline output dropping or corrupting rows when any line exceeds terminal width
  • Fixed light-ansi theme using invisible white for diff context lines on light backgrounds — now uses black
  • Fixed error overlay dumping minified bundle source that hid the original error message
  • Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
  • Fixed pressing x on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
  • Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
  • Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
  • Fixed /tui silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
  • Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name
  • Fixed /mcp server list not keeping the focused server visible in short terminals in fullscreen mode
  • Fixed redaction in /feedback bundles producing invalid JSON for quoted values like session IDs
  • Fixed desktop and third-party provider sessions incorrectly inheriting apiKeyHelper/ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN from host managed-settings
  • Fixed early analytics events being silently dropped when fired before logger initialization
  • Fixed claude plugin install failing for plugins whose marketplace ref no longer exists upstream when a sha is also pinned
  • Fixed plugin details pane showing 0 MCP servers for plugins that declare them via .mcp.json
  • Fixed plugin MCP servers with unset config variables showing a generic connection failure instead of a "config issue" message with a fix-it hint; malformed .mcp.json entries no longer drop other MCP servers
  • Fixed MCP server configs using POSIX shell parameter expansions (e.g. ${var%pattern}) being incorrectly flagged as missing environment variables
  • Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
  • Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
  • Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
  • Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through /login
  • Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
  • Fixed custom voice:pushToTalk keybindings and "space": null unbinds being silently ignored
  • Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot
  • Fixed SDK "Claude Code native binary not found" on Linux when both glibc and musl platform packages are installed
  • Bedrock: awsCredentialExport now always runs when configured instead of being skipped when ambient AWS credentials resolve, fixing auth for cross-account access
  • [VSCode] Fixed in-chat mic showing no feedback when the microphone produced only silence — now shows "No audio detected"
  • [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing sox libsox-fmt-pulse for WSLg users
  • claude agents: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
  • claude agents no longer shows empty placeholder sessions left over from backgrounding a fresh REPL, and shows onboarding text when entered via ← with no other agents
  • Empty idle background sessions left over from ← are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes

/goal no longer hangs with disabled hooks; background startup hardened

↗
v2.1.140

What's changed

  • Improved Agent tool subagent_type matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. "Code Reviewer" resolves to code-reviewer)
  • Updated agent color palette
  • Fixed /goal silently hanging when disableAllHooks or allowManagedHooksOnly is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
  • Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious ConfigChange hooks
  • Fixed claude --bg failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
  • Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time
  • Fixed remote managed settings not retrying on 401 — now retries once with a force-refreshed token
  • Fixed managed extraKnownMarketplaces auto-update policy not being persisted to known_marketplaces.json
  • Fixed /loop scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
  • Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. gh) triggered synchronous where.exe re-spawns on every check
  • Fixed Read tool calls failing validation when offset is passed as a whitespace-padded or +-prefixed string
  • Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
  • Plugins now warn when a default component folder (e.g. commands/) is silently ignored because plugin.json sets the matching key. Shown in /doctor, claude plugin list, and /plugin.
