- Update Vertex AI prose references to Agent Platform across the example
(READMEs, script/terraform comments, config template). Functional
identifiers are unchanged: the 'provider: vertex' config key,
roles/aiplatform.user, aiplatform.googleapis.com, and the terraform
resource label (renaming it would recreate the IAM binding in existing
states). First mentions keep '(formerly Vertex AI)' for searchability.
- Drop the README's self-referential public-mirror link.
- Changed `AskUserQuestion` dialogs to no longer auto-continue by default; opt into an idle timeout via `/config`
- Changed the "default" permission mode to "Manual" across the CLI, `--help`, VS Code, and JetBrains; `--permission-mode manual` and `"defaultMode": "manual"` are accepted alongside `default`
- Fixed a crash at startup when `disabledMcpServers` or `enabledMcpServers` in `.claude.json` is set to a non-array value
- Fixed background sessions silently stopping mid-turn after sleep/wake or when reopening a stalled session
- Fixed background sessions re-running a turn cancelled with Esc after a stall respawn
- Fixed background agents never starting again after a crash left a stale `daemon.lock` whose PID the OS reused
- Fixed background-agent daemon handover so a reinstalled older build can no longer take over the daemon; build recency is now judged by the version's embedded build timestamp
- Fixed background-agent roster issues: transient corruption permanently disabling orphan cleanup, older binaries not preserving fields written by newer versions, and socket auth tokens being stripped during daemon restarts
- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit before producing any text output returning an empty result instead of failing cleanly
- Fixed control bytes from background-agent output reaching the terminal in the agent view
- Fixed `claude agents --plugin-dir <dir>` not showing the plugin's agents and skills in the agent view when the flag is placed after `agents`
- Fixed project-scoped plugins not loading correctly from git worktrees of the same repository
- Fixed `/mcp` server list not tracking focus for screen readers and magnifiers
- Fixed voice dictation showing a misleading "Voice connection failed" message when a recording captures no audio
- Fixed rendering flicker under tmux 3.4+ by enabling synchronized terminal output
- Improved screen-reader output: decorative glyphs are now hidden, transcript symbols read as short labels, and nested tables read as `Header: value.` lines
- Improved the install script to explain when installation is killed by the system running out of memory
## 2.1.199
- Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first
- Fixed SSL certificate errors (TLS-inspecting proxies, missing `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`, expired certs) burning retries before showing actionable guidance — they now fail immediately with the fix hint
- Fixed streaming responses being discarded when the API emits a mid-stream overloaded/server error after partial output — the partial is now kept with an incomplete-response notice
- Fixed subagents cut off by a rate limit or server error silently failing instead of returning their partial work to the parent
- Fixed subagents reporting API errors (e.g. usage limit reached) as successful results — the error is now reported to the parent agent
- Fixed the background-agent daemon on Linux killing itself and every running agent every ~50 seconds after an unclean shutdown left a corrupted worker record
- Fixed background agents failing to cold-start over SSH on macOS with "Could not switch to audit session" (regression in 2.1.196)
- Fixed `claude stop` being silently undone when it raced a background-agent respawn — the respawn now honors the stop
- Fixed background job progress indicators stalling for minutes while the job ran long commands
- Fixed background sessions on memory-starved machines showing a generic error — they now indicate low memory and suggest freeing resources
- Fixed remote sessions briefly flapping between Working and Idle in the agent view when a background agent completes
- Fixed idle subagents vanishing from the agent panel while other subagents were still working; surplus idle agents now collapse into an expandable summary row
- Fixed typing `/model` or `/fast` while viewing a subagent silently opening the lead's model picker — a notice now explains the command applies to the lead
- Fixed `SessionStart`, `Setup`, and `SubagentStart` hooks silently hiding stderr when exiting with code 2 — the error is now shown in the transcript
- Fixed `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions daemon <subcommand>` being treated as a chat prompt instead of running the subcommand
- Fixed `SendMessage` silently misrouting when a re-spawned agent reuses a previous agent's name — the tool now detects the mismatch and asks the caller to retarget
- Fixed opening or resuming a session with no new messages needlessly growing the transcript file
- Fixed backgrounding a session with `←` or `/background` dropping its `/color` from the agent view row
- Fixed resetting a corrupted config file from the startup recovery dialog destroying it unrecoverably — it now backs up the file first
- Fixed Claude in Chrome repeatedly opening the reconnect page when sessions run from different builds or config directories
- Fixed plan mode not prompting for state-changing browser tool calls; read-only `browser_batch` calls are now correctly auto-allowed
- Transient server rate-limit errors (429s unrelated to your usage limit) are now retried automatically with backoff for subscribers instead of failing the turn
-`CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG` now raises the default retry count for non-capacity transient errors to 300 and lifts the cap of 15 on `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_RETRIES`
-`claude agents` session rows now show pull-request links as bare `#N` without the redundant "PR" label
## 2.1.198
- Subagents now run in the background by default, so Claude keeps working while they run and is notified when they finish (previously a gradual rollout)
- Claude in Chrome is now generally available
- Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`)
- Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator
- Gateway: added Claude Platform on AWS (anthropicAws) as an upstream provider; model-not-found responses now advance the failover chain
- Background agents launched from `claude agents` now commit, push, and open a draft PR when they finish code work in a worktree, instead of stopping to ask
- The built-in Explore agent now inherits the main session's model (capped at opus) instead of running on haiku
- Subagents and context compaction now inherit the session's extended thinking configuration, improving output quality on delegated tasks
- Fixed brief network drops mid-response aborting the turn — transient errors like ECONNRESET now retry with backoff instead of failing
- Fixed excessive background classifier requests when sandboxed processes repeatedly accessed the same network host
- Fixed background tasks in web, desktop, and VS Code task panels getting stuck on "Running" after they finish or after resuming a session
- Fixed agent teams: a teammate that dies on an API error now reports "failed" to the lead, and messaging a stuck teammate wakes it to retry immediately
- Fixed the `/diff` panel not refreshing when you switch branches or commit outside the session
- Fixed markdown tables overflowing and wrapping their right border when rendered in fullscreen mode
- Fixed Claude Platform on AWS and Mantle sessions dead-ending with "Please run /login" when the STS token expires — `awsAuthRefresh` now runs automatically
- Fixed "no route to host" for local-network hosts in macOS background agent sessions by declaring Local Network entitlements
- Fixed `/desktop` failing with "Cannot determine working directory" after entering and exiting a worktree
- Fixed background agents repeatedly showing "Reconnecting…" every ~52 seconds on macOS while the agents view was open
- Fixed pressing `←` inside `claude attach <id>` exiting to the shell instead of opening the agent view
- Fixed `claude --bg` silently creating an unattachable session when combined with `--print`/`-p`; the conflicting flags are now rejected up front
- Fixed the workflow progress view dropping the earliest agents from the list while the phase counter stayed correct in SDK and desktop-app sessions
- Fixed `.claude/rules/` conditional rules not loading when the target file is reached via a symlinked path
- Fixed Cmd+click not opening URLs in fullscreen mode in Warp on macOS
- Fixed double-click word selection in fullscreen mode to select the entire URL including the scheme
- Fixed plan mode not auto-allowing read-only tool calls when a session starts in plan mode
- Fixed `/branch` deriving its default fork name from the compaction summary instead of the first real prompt
- Improved focus mode: subagents launched in a turn now appear in its activity summary, and completed background notifications fold into a single count
- Improved syntax highlighting accuracy in code blocks, diffs, and file previews by upgrading to highlight.js 11
- Keyboard shortcut hints now show opt/cmd instead of alt/super when connected from a Mac over SSH
- Improved API retry UX: the error reason is now shown after the second attempt, and a status page link replaces the spinner tip when the API is overloaded
-`/login` now opens the sign-in dialog from the `claude agents` view instead of saying it isn't available
- Subagents now treat messages from the agent that launched them as normal task direction; an agent's message is still never treated as the user's approval
- Removed the `/agents` wizard; ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or edit `.claude/agents/` directly
## 2.1.197
- Introducing Claude Sonnet 5: now the default model in Claude Code, with a native 1M-token context window and promotional pricing of $2/$10 per Mtok through August 31. Update to version 2.1.197 for access. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-5
## 2.1.196
- Added support for organization default models — admins set it in the org console; it shows as "Org default" (or "Role default") in `/model` when you haven't picked one yourself
- Added readable default names for sessions at start, making them easier to identify and message
- Added clickable file attachments in chat — Cmd/Ctrl-click reveals the file in Finder/Explorer
- Security: `claude mcp list`/`get` no longer spawn `.mcp.json` servers that a repo self-approved via a committed `.claude/settings.json`; untrusted workspaces show `⏸ Pending approval`
- Fixed waking a background job permanently deleting its conversation and re-running the original prompt when the transcript probe misread a real transcript; the file is now set aside, never deleted
- Fixed the rate-limit warning flickering off and rate-limit telemetry being over-counted when multiple parallel requests were in flight at the moment a usage limit was hit
- Fixed duplicate recap lines after a background session's turn: a schema-rejected StructuredOutput attempt no longer renders alongside its retry
- Fixed PowerShell `git diff`/`git grep`, `egrep`/`fgrep`, and quoted search patterns containing `|` being reported as failures when they exit 1, matching Bash behavior
- Fixed multiple `claude agents` side panel issues: keyboard focus getting stuck when opening an agent, background jobs losing their subagent types on every open, and sessions showing incorrect status while actively running
- Fixed `claude agents --dangerously-skip-permissions` silently falling back to auto mode instead of showing the bypass disclaimer and applying bypass mode to spawned agents
- Fixed mid-turn crash recovery for Remote sessions — sessions interrupted by a server restart now auto-resume on the next worker
- Fixed sessions moved with `/cd` reappearing in the old directory's resume list after a non-graceful exit when the old path contained special characters
- Fixed `claude plugin validate` skipping local plugins whose source is "." and stopping after the first error class
- Fixed Esc Esc at an idle prompt not opening the rewind menu (regression); use Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X Ctrl+K to stop background agents
- Fixed MCP OAuth requesting the authorization server's full `scopes_supported` catalog when no scope is specified, causing `invalid_scope` failures on GitLab self-hosted and other enterprise IdPs
- Fixed `/context` showing 0 tokens for all tool groups on Bedrock
- Fixed `/deep-research` misreporting verifier failures as "all claims refuted" instead of `unverified`
- Fixed plugin dependency version pins not being honored when the marketplace was added as a local folder path backed by a git repo
- Fixed `claude agents` session status: completed rows no longer flip between "Done" and "Needs your input", stalled agents are now labeled "Needs attention", and results that mention a PR show a clickable link
- Fixed voice dictation swallowing spaces and spuriously starting a recording during very fast typing when voice mode is enabled
- Improved background session reliability: long-running commands and workflows now survive the session's process being stopped, restarted, or updated — including on Windows, where background shells are handed off instead of being killed
- Improved background agents: workers killed by a daemon restart are now automatically resumed from where they left off the next time the agents view opens
- Improved `/code-review` workflow: merged five cleanup finders into one, cutting token usage by roughly 25%
- Reduced per-frame rendering work in the terminal UI by skipping no-op subtree walks during streaming
- The streaming idle watchdog is now on by default for all providers — it aborts and retries when a response stream produces no events for 5 minutes. Set `CLAUDE_ENABLE_STREAM_WATCHDOG=0` to disable.
- Remote Control is now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points at a non-Anthropic host, matching the existing behavior under `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK`/`_VERTEX`/`_FOUNDRY`
- Changed opening the agents view from a foreground session to require a single `←` press instead of two, matching the behavior in background sessions
## 2.1.195
- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS` to disable mouse click/drag/hover in fullscreen mode while keeping wheel scroll

<p>• Reduced idle CPU usage: /goal status chip no longer re-renders the terminal at 5 Hz while idle, and fewer UI re-renders while subagents run in parallel</p>
<p>• Improved Claude in Chrome tool loading: browser tools now load in a single batched call instead of one per tool</p>
<p>• Improved the non-interactive Usage Policy refusal message to suggest starting a new session or changing your model</p>
<p>• /code-review now keeps the ultra option visible when you're not signed in to claude.ai, with an explanation that the cloud review requires a claude.ai account</p>
<p>• Shortened the Remote Control footer indicator to "/rc active" and hid it on narrow terminals</p>
<p>• Stopped promoting /loop in remote sessions, where pending loops don't keep the container alive</p>
<p>• [VSCode] Fixed PowerShell tool calls rendering as raw JSON instead of a proper command display and permission dialog, and stripped ANSI escape codes from displayed shell output</p></content>
<contenttype="html"><p>• Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Fable’s capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available. Update to version 2.1.170 for access. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-fable-5-mythos-5</p>

<contenttype="html"><p>• Self-hosted runner: added a post-session lifecycle hook that runs after the session ends and before the workspace is deleted, so you can snapshot uncommitted work or export logs; also made the child-process SIGTERM→SIGKILL window configurable (default unchanged at 5s)</p>
<p>• Added --safe-mode flag (and CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE) to start Claude Code with all customizations (CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP servers) disabled for troubleshooting</p>
<p>• Added /cd command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session</p>
<p>• Added a disableBundledSkills setting and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BUNDLED_SKILLS environment variable to hide bundled skills, workflows, and built-in slash commands from the model</p>
<p>• Fixed Up/Down arrows jumping to command history past the wrapped rows of a long input line — they now move through each visual row first, and history recall enters at the near edge</p>
<p>• Fixed enterprise managed MCP policies (allowedMcpServers/deniedMcpServers) not being enforced on reconnect, IDE-typed configs, --mcp-config servers during the first session after install, or before remote settings loaded; also fixed slow cold starts for orgs without remote settings</p>
<p>• Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials</p>
<p>• Fixed claude -p being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)</p>
<p>• Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time</p>
<p>• Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials</p>
<p>• Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline</p>
<p>• Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them</p>
<p>• Fixed claude agents --json omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added --all to include completed sessions, plus new id and state fields</p>
<p>• Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal</p>
<p>• Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings env values (e.g. ANTHROPIC_MODEL) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker</p>
<p>• Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction</p>
<p>• Fixed plugin .in_use PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day</p>
<p>• Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation</p>
<p>• /workflows now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress</p>
<p>• Improved TaskCreate reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema</p>
<p>• Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from</p>
<p>• Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations</p>
<p>• Restored a default 5-minute idle timeout on Vertex/Foundry so a stalled stream aborts instead of hanging indefinitely; set API_FORCE_IDLE_TIMEOUT=0 to opt out</p>
<p>• Remote-managed settings with an invalid entry now apply their remaining valid policies and surface the validation error, instead of silently dropping the whole payload</p>
<p>• Background sessions now preserve --ide, --chrome, --bare, --remote-control, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened</p>
<p>• Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before EnterWorktree</p>
<p>• The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window</p>
<p>• Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once claude.exe is held by another process</p>
<p>• Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu</p>
<p>• Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one</p>
<p>• Added a tip suggesting claude agents when running multiple concurrent sessions</p></content>
