 # Changelog
 
+## 2.1.198
+
+- 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

     <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;• Fixed sessions not saving transcripts (and not appearing in --resume) when launched from the VS Code integrated terminal or any shell that inherited Claude Code environment variables.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

-    <updated>2026-06-08T21:57:10Z</updated>
-    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;• 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)&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Added /cd command to move a session to a new working directory without breaking the prompt cache mid-session&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed a ~30-50ms UI stall at the start of each turn for macOS users logged in with claude.ai credentials&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed claude -p being slow or appearing to hang on Windows while waiting for the slash-command/skill scan (regression in 2.1.161)&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed Remote Control getting stuck on "reconnecting" after resuming a session when an OAuth token refresh happened at the same time&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed Git Credential Manager's "Connect to GitHub" popup appearing on Windows at startup when background git commands ran without cached credentials&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed footer hints (e.g. "esc to interrupt") not showing for users with a custom statusline&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed stale permission and dialog prompts reappearing every time you reattached to a remote session whose worker had died while waiting on them&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed claude agents --json omitting blocked and just-dispatched background sessions; added --all to include completed sessions, plus new id and state fields&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed agents view leaving a stale/garbled frame after navigating back from an agent on WSL in Windows Terminal&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed background agents ignoring project-level settings env values (e.g. ANTHROPIC_MODEL) when dispatched onto a pre-warmed worker&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed MCPB plugin cache being spuriously invalidated on Windows, causing unnecessary re-extraction&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed plugin .in_use PID lock files accumulating without bound; stale markers from crashed sessions are now swept once per day&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Fixed untrusted project settings being able to set OTEL client-certificate paths without trust confirmation&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• /workflows now opens immediately even while a turn is in progress&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Improved TaskCreate reliability: malformed inputs are repaired automatically and validation errors for unloaded tools include the schema&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Improved the error message shown when your organization has disabled API key authentication, with guidance based on where the active API key comes from&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Reduced CPU usage while responses stream and during spinner animations&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• 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&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Background sessions now preserve --ide, --chrome, --bare, --remote-control, and other flags across retire→wake, and respawn state validation was hardened&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Background sessions are now told that shared-checkout edits are blocked until they enter a worktree, avoiding a wasted rejected edit before EnterWorktree&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• The "CLAUDE.md is too long" warning threshold now scales with the model's context window&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Auto-updater on Windows now stops retrying within a session once claude.exe is held by another process&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Improved color contrast for skill tags in the slash-command menu&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Promo credit claims for Apple/Google-billed subscribers without a payment method now explain where to add one&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;• Added a tip suggesting claude agents when running multiple concurrent sessions&lt;/p&gt;</content>
