Bare /color (no args) now picks a random session color
/mcp now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
--plugin-dir now accepts .zip plugin archives in addition to directories
--channels now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set channelsEnabled: true to enable
Updated /model picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
Subprocesses (Bash, hooks, MCP, LSP) no longer inherit OTEL_* environment variables, so OTEL-instrumented apps run via the Bash tool no longer pick up the CLI's own OTLP endpoint
MCP: workspace is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
SDK hosts now receive a persistent localSettings suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to .claude/settings.local.json
EnterWorktree now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of origin/ — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, /compact, or run with --debug)
Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every /exit in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification
Fixed Remote Control showing an empty "Opening your options…" message on rate limit instead of actionable upsell options
Fixed drag-and-drop image upload hanging on "Pasting text…" when the image read fails
Fixed crash loop when piping very large input (>10 MB) to claude -p via stdin
Fixed long URLs not being individually clickable on every wrapped row in fullscreen mode
Fixed /plugin Components panel showing "Marketplace 'inline' not found" for plugins loaded via --plugin-dir
Fixed MCP tool results dropping images when the server returns both structured content and content blocks
Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
Fixed tab navigation in /config stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as label (url) instead of just the URL
Fixed sessions on 1M-context models with a smaller autocompact window being falsely blocked with "Prompt is too long" before reaching the actual API limit
Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
Fixed /fast on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to global.* instead of the region-appropriate prefix
Fixed vim mode: Space in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
Fixed /rename without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after --resume/--continue
Fixed stale installed_plugins.json entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× cache_creation reduction)
Fixed /plugin update never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
Headless --output-format stream-json: init.plugin_errors now includes --plugin-dir load failures in addition to dependency demotions
