AI pair programmers and autonomous coding agents — IDE-integrated assistants and cloud agents that read, edit, and ship code.
The Slack !agent bang-command is now !normal. The v3 API supports remediating security scan findings, service users can manage automations programmatically, and blueprints can be Git-backed. Bug fixes include virtualized Review comments hijacking scroll and desktop VNC reconnection after session wake.
Claude Code changed its default permission mode to Manual across all interfaces and stopped auto-continuing on user approval dialogs, while also fixing background sessions silently stopping after sleep/wake.
Claude Sonnet 5 sessions no longer use the mid-conversation system role for harness reminders.
Changed AskUserQuestion dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default. Changed the default permission mode across CLI, VS Code, and JetBrains to Manual, with new accepted config keys. Fixed background sessions silently stopping after sleep/wake, a startup crash with invalid MCP server config arrays, and dozens of background-agent reliability fixes.
Claude Code fixed a daemon self-kill loop that killed background agents every 50 seconds, while Devin shipped bidirectional Slack thread sync and read-only MCP.
Fixed a background-agent daemon bug on Linux that killed every running agent every ~50 seconds after an unclean shutdown. Stacked slash-skill invocations now load up to 5 leading skills, SSL certificate errors fail immediately with actionable guidance, and mid-stream API errors keep partial output. Plus dozens of smaller fixes across subagents, hooks, and session management.
Adds bidirectional Slack thread sync, a read-only MCP toggle, and a weekly PR ratio analytics chart with CSV export. Also includes redesigned environment page, cross-platform repository cloning, mention-to-unarchive, inline mute reminders, and numerous bug fixes across the platform.
Claude in Chrome is now generally available, brief network drops mid-response are now retried with backoff, and background agents gained desktop notifications.
Claude in Chrome is now generally available. Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing. Also added background agent notifications, a /dataviz skill, and dozens of additional fixes across agents, worktrees, and fullscreen mode.
Claude Code switched its default model to Claude Sonnet 5, bringing a native 1M-token context window and promotional pricing through August.
Prevented full Responses WebSocket request payloads from being written to trace logs, fixing a potential information exposure in logged data.
Claude Sonnet 5 replaces the previous default model, with a native 1M-token context window and promotional pricing of $2/$10 per Mtok through August 31.
A critical bug where waking a background job deleted the conversation and reran the original prompt was patched, while security changes prevent repo-approved MCP servers from auto-spawning in untrusted workspaces.
Admins can now configure Team MCP servers once and distribute them across cloud agents, the agents window, IDE, and CLI through team marketplaces. Marketplace access can now also be restricted to organization groups in addition to SCIM directory groups.
Fixed a critical bug where waking a background job deleted the conversation and reran the original prompt. Security: claude mcp list/get no longer spawns repo-approved .mcp.json servers in untrusted workspaces. Also fixes OAuth scope rejection on enterprise IdPs, rate-limit flickering, and PowerShell exit-code false positives.
Cursor launched a public beta iOS app that lets paid users launch and manage cloud agents from their phone, including remote control of desktop sessions.
Full Changelog: [rust-v0.142.3...rust-v0.142.4](https://github.co...
Cursor is now available as an iOS app for paid plans, letting users launch and manage cloud agents from their phone. Includes Remote Control to direct a desktop agent and Live Activities on the lock screen.
Devin shipped several quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to archive or unarchive sessions from the Cmd+K palette, one-time run-once automation schedules, and an out-of-date banner for MCP integrations.
xAI1Sessions can now be archived or unarchived from the Cmd+K command palette. Automations support one-time run-once schedules. MCP integrations show an "out of date" banner, and blueprints gain a Post Build section.
Claude Code patched voice dictation silence capture and auto-submit for space-less languages, fixed hyphenated hook matchers to exact-match, and added a mouse-click disable toggle.
xAI3grok wrap to run any command with local clipboard supportCtrl+4 now toggles the prompt queue on local macOS VS Code terminalsgrok agent stdio hangs on Windows when used with persistent clients such as VS CodeHook matchers with hyphenated identifiers now perform exact-matching instead of substring-matching, use mcp__brave-search__.* to match tools from hyphenated MCP servers. Fixed voice dictation capturing silence after input device changes and auto-submit not firing for languages written without spaces, plus fixes for background task data loss and crashed-task blank screen.
Claude Code now logs assistant responses via OpenTelemetry by default for deployments already logging prompts, and gains a setting to route all shell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only high-risk patterns.
