What's changed
- Added
sandbox.filesystem.disabledsetting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control - Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes
- Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session
- Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first — free-text answers now get neutral wording
- Fixed Claude Code on the web re-asking the same question and dropping your answer after the session sat idle for a few minutes
- Fixed @-mentions silently attaching nothing after file-modifying hooks, vim dot-repeat of
c-operators and paste, statusline running twice on resume, and resume-picker hangs on failure - Fixed resumed background agent sessions reverting to the default agent: the agent's prompt and tool restrictions are now restored
- Fixed worktree-isolated subagents redirecting git into the shared checkout via
git -C,--git-dir, orGIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE - Fixed worktree sessions landing in another project's leftover worktree when the working directory did not match the selected project
- Fixed background sessions whose worktree has no git repository being undeletable
- Fixed
claude daemon stop --anypotentially terminating an unrelated process via a stale legacy daemon lockfile - Fixed Esc-Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind picker in long-running sessions with background tasks
- Fixed Bash command permission checking for compound statements with redirects inside
&&lists or negations - Fixed pressing Ctrl+X twice in the agent list failing to delete a session, and deleted sessions reappearing when their background worker had died
- Fixed background subagents getting cancelled when a high-priority message arrives during their startup window
- Fixed mouse and focus garbage in the terminal while a GUI editor from
/memory,/plan,/keybindings, or Ctrl+G is open;/memoryno longer waits for the editor to close - Fixed Claude-in-Chrome 403-looping on reconnect when the session's OAuth token lacks a required scope
- Fixed workflow saves and scheduled-task writes following a symlink at
.claude, which could redirect writes outside the project - Fixed MCP re-authenticate revoking working credentials before the new sign-in succeeds, and the reconnect needs-auth message in background sessions pointing at an unusable command
- Fixed read-only commands on Windows accessing network paths without a permission prompt
- Fixed Bash command parsing of non-ASCII characters to match real shell word boundaries
- Fixed PowerShell tool permission validation of commands containing invisible Unicode characters
- Fixed dialogs in fullscreen mode stretching past the right-hand edge of their panel
- Fixed the
/configsettings list in fullscreen mode clipping its keyboard-hint footer - Fixed the transcript-mode (Ctrl+O) footer hint wrapping on terminals narrower than 104 columns
- Fixed the Prometheus metrics endpoint (
OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus) emitting invalid# UNITlines - Fixed skills and commands changed during a session not appearing in the slash menu until restart
- Fixed plugin skills with a
namefrontmatter field losing their plugin prefix in slash-command autocomplete - Fixed telemetry misreporting permission denials: failed permission-prompt requests no longer count as user rejections, and user interrupts are now reported as user aborts instead of rejections
- Improved the
/forkconfirmation to one line with the new session's name,claude attachid, and a note when the copy shares your checkout - Improved validation of
gitandghcommand arguments in the PowerShell tool - Improved the
/ultrareviewdiff-too-large error to show configured limits, measured diff size, and largest contributing files - Improved
/code-review ultraempty-diff message to name the exact base ref and suggest passing an explicit base - Improved the spend limit adjustment prompt to show the server's reason when a spend limit change is rejected
/contextnow shows an explicit warning when the conversation exceeds the context window, and a failed/compactdisplays as an error/rewindno longer restores or deletes files through symlinks or hard links at tracked paths and reports how many paths it skipped- Background sessions:
/mcpand/install-github-appnow park a "needs input" request in the agent view when no client is attached - Updated the bundled dataviz skill: reordered the default chart palette and fixed guidance that suggested direct labels for four-series charts
- [VSCode] Fixed right-to-left text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering in the wrong order when mixed with English or code
- Fixed cloud sessions dropping the in-flight message when the session's container restarts mid-turn — the interrupted turn now re-runs on resume instead of leaving the session unresponsive
