 # Changelog
 
+## 2.1.169
+
+- 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
+- Added `/cd` command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session
+- 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
+- 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
+- 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
+- Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials
+- Fixed `claude -p` being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)
+- Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time
+- Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials
+- Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline
+- Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them
+- Fixed `claude agents --json` omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added `--all` to include completed sessions, plus new `id` and `state` fields
+- Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal
+- Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings `env` values (e.g. `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker
+- Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction
+- Fixed plugin `.in_use` PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day
+- Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation
+- `/workflows` now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress
+- Improved `TaskCreate` reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema
+- Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from
+- Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations
+- 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
+- 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
+- Background sessions now preserve `--ide`, `--chrome`, `--bare`, `--remote-control`, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened
+- Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before `EnterWorktree`
+- The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window
+- Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once `claude.exe` is held by another process
+- Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu
+- Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one
+- Added a tip suggesting `claude agents` when running multiple concurrent sessions

-    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;• Added claude agents --json to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Added agent_id and parent_agent_id attributes to claude_code.tool OTEL spans, and fixed trace parenting so background subagent spans nest under the dispatching Agent tool span&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• /plugin Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• claude agents terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes background_tasks and session_crons fields&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed MCP prompt slash commands showing raw server validation errors when a required argument is omitted — the error now names the missing argument and shows expected usage&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses ; as the command separator&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after gh pr create and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed /review using a deprecated projectCards GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed claude plugin validate not flagging skills: entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using context: fork could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Improved the Read tool to return a truncated first page with a "PARTIAL view" notice instead of a hard error when a whole-file read exceeds the token limit&lt;/p&gt;</content>
