Added worktree.baseRef setting (fresh | head) to choose whether --worktree, EnterWorktree, and agent-isolation worktrees branch from origin/ or local HEAD. Note: the default fresh changes EnterWorktree's base back to origin/ (it has been local HEAD since 2.1.128) — set worktree.baseRef: "head" to keep unpushed commits in new worktrees
Added sandbox.bwrapPath and sandbox.socatPath managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
Added parentSettingsBehavior admin-tier key ('first-wins' | 'merge') to let admins opt SDK managedSettings (parent tier) into the policy merge
Hooks now receive the active effort level via the effort.level JSON input field and the $CLAUDE_EFFORT environment variable, and Bash tool commands can read $CLAUDE_EFFORT

Fixed parallel sessions all dead-ending at 401 after a refresh-token race wiped shared credentials
Fixed Edit/Write allow rules scoped to a drive root (C:\) or POSIX / matching incorrectly and always prompting
Fixed an unhandled rejection (ECOMPROMISED) when a history or session-log file lock is compromised by clock skew or slow disk
Fixed pressing Esc during conversation compaction showing a spurious "Error compacting conversation" notification
Fixed HTTP(S)_PROXY / NO_PROXY / mTLS not being respected for the full MCP OAuth flow including discovery, dynamic client registration, token exchange, and token refresh
Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via --add-dir / SDK additionalDirectories
Fixed Remote Control stop/interrupt from claude.ai not fully canceling the CLI session the same way local Esc does, causing queued messages to never advance after interrupting a stuck tool or prompt
Fixed /effort in one session unexpectedly changing the effort level of other concurrent sessions, and a related issue where an IDE effort change could be silently dropped
Fixed subagents not discovering project, user, or plugin skills via the Skill tool
claude --help now lists --remote-control alongside --remote-control-session-name-prefix
