# Changelog

## 2.1.145

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

## 2.1.144

- Added `/resume` support for background sessions — sessions started via `claude --bg` or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with `bg`
- Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")
- The `/plugin` browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated
- `/model` now changes the model for the current session only; press `d` in the model picker to set a default for new sessions
- Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; `/extra-usage` is now `/usage-credits` (old name still works)
- Fixed startup hanging up to 75s when `api.anthropic.com` is unreachable (captive portal, firewall, VPN issues) — side-channel API calls now time out after 15s
- Fixed garbled terminal output after a missed window-resize event (e.g. dragging a VS Code split-pane divider) — now self-heals on the next frame instead of requiring Ctrl+L
- Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart
- Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count
- Fixed macOS background sessions crashing with "exit 1 before init" when the project lives under a Full Disk Access-protected folder (regression in 2.1.143)
- Fixed an unrecoverable conversation when reading a file whose image extension doesn't match its contents (e.g. HTML saved as .png) — now falls back to text
- Fewer spurious tool errors during search: `head`/`tail` file views now satisfy the read-before-edit check, and a "no matches" result (exit code 1) from `egrep`, `fgrep`, `git grep`, or `git diff` is no longer reported as a command failure
- Fixed `/branch` failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
- Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
- Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
- Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's `/model` choice
- Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the `/model` picker (regression in v2.1.129)
- Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginOrgUUID` set
- Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools
- Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result
- Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-`.md` files no longer trigger skill reloads
- Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
- Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)
- Fixed plugins enabled in your own settings showing "not cached" errors after first load on a fresh machine; plugins enabled only by a project's `.claude/settings.json` now show an actionable `claude plugin install` hint
- Fixed `claude mcp list` silently reporting no servers when `.mcp.json` can't be parsed (e.g. using VS Code's `"servers"` key instead of `"mcpServers"`) — now shows configuration errors
- Fixed background side-queries on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` setups and Bedrock Mantle not using Haiku — now falls back correctly when a first-party API key is configured or no Haiku model is set
- Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work
- Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
- Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input
- Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve directories added via `/add-dir`
- Fixed Edit/Write refusing with "background session hasn't isolated its changes yet" right after detaching a session that was already editing in place
- Fixed `claude respawn <id>` on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running
- Fixed `/resume` picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
- Fixed opening a session from `claude agents` or running `claude logs <id>` hanging when the background service is unresponsive — now times out after 10s with a recovery hint
- Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits
- Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash
- Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks
- Fixed custom `spinnerVerbs` applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there
- `claude agents` / `--bg` rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message
- `claude --bg --name <label>` now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation
- `claude agents`: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately
- Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks configured
- Plugin marketplace add/update now respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
- `/plugin` now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
- `/doctor` now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
- Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run `/doctor` for the full breakdown
- Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request
- Improved SDK/headless MCP startup: pre-wait now overlaps startup instead of blocking before the first turn (up to 2s faster with slow MCP servers)
- The post-survey follow-up hint now appears after every non-dismiss survey response with context-aware copy, making it easier to share more detail via /feedback.

## 2.1.143

- Added plugin dependency enforcement: `claude plugin disable` now refuses when another enabled plugin depends on the target (with a copy-pasteable disable-chain hint), and `claude plugin enable` force-enables transitive dependencies
- Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the `/plugin` marketplace browse pane
- Added `worktree.bgIsolation: "none"` setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without `EnterWorktree`, for repos where worktrees are impractical
- PowerShell tool now passes `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1`
- Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle
- Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle
- Fixed a corrupt `.credentials.json` with a non-array `scopes` value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh
- Fixed right-click paste in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal and WSL
- Fixed stop hooks that block repeatedly looping forever — the turn now ends with a warning after 8 consecutive blocks (override via `CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP`)
- Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending `/loop` wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations
- Fixed `/goal` evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running
- Fixed `NO_COLOR`/`FORCE_COLOR` in settings.json `env` stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only
- Fixed agent view spawning repeated PowerShell processes on Windows when listing sessions
- Fixed `/bg` without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input
- Fixed `--agent <name>` not finding plugin-contributed agents without the `plugin:` prefix
- Fixed deleting a session from agent view not removing its transcript file
- Fixed stale-fragment rendering when scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal
- Fixed background agents false-positive worker-stall detection storm after host sleep or macOS App Nap
- Fixed 5xx error messages pointing at status.claude.com instead of naming the configured gateway or cloud provider
- The PowerShell tool is now enabled by default on Windows for Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry users. Opt out with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=0`.
- `claude agents` now accepts `--add-dir`, `--settings`, `--mcp-config`, and `--plugin-dir` and applies them to the dashboard and to background sessions dispatched from it
- `claude agents` accepts `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view
- `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` now persists across retire→wake
- Fixed background sessions silently capturing IDE file references into the warm spare's input, which caused the reference to be prepended to the next prompt dispatched from `claude agents`
- Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to `rm -rf` when `git worktree remove` fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files
- Fixed background-job sessions on macOS getting "Operation not permitted" errors when reading files under `~/Documents`, `~/Desktop`, or `~/Downloads`, even with Full Disk Access granted.
- `/bg` now preserves `--mcp-config`, `--settings`, `--add-dir`, `--plugin-dir`, and `--strict-mcp-config`, so backgrounded sessions keep their MCP servers and settings across respawn.
- Background sessions launched from `claude agents` now honor `permissions.defaultMode` from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)
- Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in `claude agents` while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input
- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--fallback-model`, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.
- `/bg` and `←`-detach now preserve `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.
- Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the `~/.local/bin/claude` launcher is missing or non-executable
- Fixed `claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle

## 2.1.142

- Added new `claude agents` flags: `--add-dir`, `--settings`, `--mcp-config`, `--plugin-dir`, `--permission-mode`, `--model`, `--effort`, and `--dangerously-skip-permissions` to configure dispatched background sessions

- Fixed `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT` not raising the per-request fetch timeout for remote HTTP and SSE MCP servers, which capped tool calls at 60 seconds regardless of the configured value
- Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
- Fixed background sessions disappearing and daemon reconnect failing after macOS sleep/wake — the daemon now detects clock jumps instead of treating them as elapsed idle time
- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g. `brew upgrade`), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path
- Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
- Fixed clicking links in an attached `claude agents` session — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached
- Fixed `claude agents` "v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`
- Fixed `claude agents` deadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup
- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a `claude agents` session from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals
- Fixed `claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions` not persisting across retire/wake
- Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link

- Fixed `/plugin` browse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins
- Fixed plugin advisories not naming every `plugin.json` key that shadows a default folder
- Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
- Improved hook configuration error: configuring a prompt- or agent-type hook for `SessionStart`/`Setup`/`SubagentStart` now shows a clear "use a command-type hook instead" error
- Removed stale `/model claude-sonnet-4-20250514` suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages

## 2.1.141

- Background agents launched via `/bg` or `←←` now preserve the current permission mode instead of reverting to default
- `claude agents`: agents that finish work but leave a background shell running now move to Completed instead of staying under Working

- Improved plugin menu navigation: `→`/Tab switch tabs, `↑` moves to the tab strip, and tab headers and search box are clickable in fullscreen mode
- Fixed background side-queries sending an unavailable Haiku model ID on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry/gateway when no `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL` override is set — now falls back to the main-loop model
- Fixed `claude daemon status` and `/doctor` on Windows throwing when the daemon pipe key file is locked or unreadable — now shows the underlying error instead of an opaque failure
- Fixed `claude agents` showing the agent-type list instead of the dashboard when launched through a wrapper that adds flags
- Fixed `claude agents` opening a crashed session firing redundant dispatches when the working directory was deleted
- Fixed background jobs on a custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` gateway not getting auto-named — the namer now uses the main model when no Haiku model is configured
- Fixed `/model` in one session silently changing the autocompact threshold in other concurrent sessions
- Fixed switching permission mode while a tool-permission prompt is open not auto-dismissing the prompt when the new setting permits the tool
- Fixed pressing Enter while a permission/dialog prompt is open also submitting text in the input box

- Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
- Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
- Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt

- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE servers returning 403 on connect showing as "failed" instead of "needs auth"
- Fixed remote MCP servers disconnecting unnecessarily when the optional server-events stream failed to reconnect — tool calls continue over POST
- Fixed Remote Control MCP connectors all failing with 401 when the worker session token rotated mid-session
- Fixed Remote Control automatically re-enrolling a trusted device when the server rejects a stale token, instead of looping through `/login`
- Fixed a race where early OTel spans could be silently dropped in SDK/headless mode with beta tracing enabled
- Fixed custom `voice:pushToTalk` keybindings and `"space": null` unbinds being silently ignored
- Fixed Windows Alt+V image paste reporting "no image found" when the clipboard contains a screenshot

- [VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
- `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch
- `claude agents` no longer shows empty placeholder sessions left over from backgrounding a fresh REPL, and shows onboarding text when entered via ← with no other agents
- Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes

- Updated agent color palette
- Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves

- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
- Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time

- Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
- Plugins now warn when a default component folder (e.g. `commands/`) is silently ignored because `plugin.json` sets the matching key. Shown in `/doctor`, `claude plugin list`, and `/plugin`.

## 2.1.139

- Added agent view (Research Preview): a single list of every Claude Code session — running, blocked on you, or done. Run `claude agents` to get started. See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view
- Added `/goal` command: set a completion condition and Claude keeps working across turns until it's met. Works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control. Shows live elapsed/turns/tokens as an overlay panel

- Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
- Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn

- Remote Control, `/schedule`, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `apiKeyHelper` / `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set, even if a Claude.ai login also exists. Unset the API key to use these features
- Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
- Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`

## 2.1.133

- Added `worktree.baseRef` setting (`fresh` | `head`) to choose whether `--worktree`, `EnterWorktree`, and agent-isolation worktrees branch from `origin/<default>` or local `HEAD`. **Note:** the default `fresh` changes `EnterWorktree`'s base back to `origin/<default>` (it has been local `HEAD` since 2.1.128) — set `worktree.baseRef: "head"` to keep unpushed commits in new worktrees
- Added `sandbox.bwrapPath` and `sandbox.socatPath` managed settings (Linux/WSL) to specify custom bubblewrap and socat binary locations
- Added `parentSettingsBehavior` admin-tier key (`'first-wins' | 'merge'`) to let admins opt SDK `managedSettings` (parent tier) into the policy merge

- Fixed Read/Write/Edit being denied on mapped network drives passed via `--add-dir` / SDK `additionalDirectories`
- Fixed Remote Control stop/interrupt from claude.ai not fully canceling the CLI session the same way local Esc does, causing queued messages to never advance after interrupting a stuck tool or prompt

- `claude --help` now lists `--remote-control` alongside `--remote-control-session-name-prefix`
- [VSCode] Fixed `claudeCode.claudeProcessWrapper` failing with "Unsupported platform" when the extension build doesn't bundle a Claude binary

## 2.1.132

- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` environment variable to the Bash tool subprocess environment, matching the `session_id` passed to hooks

- Added a "Pasting…" footer hint while a Ctrl+V image paste is being read from the clipboard
- Fixed external SIGINT (e.g. IDE stop button, `kill -INT`) not running graceful shutdown — terminal modes are now restored and the `--resume` hint is printed instead of an abrupt exit
- Fixed an uncaught exception when the terminal is closed or SSH disconnects mid-session under the native build
- Fixed `--resume` failing with `no low surrogate in string` when a tool error truncation split an emoji; pre-corrupted sessions are sanitized on load

- 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/<default-branch>` — 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 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 `/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 pasting an image larger than 2000px breaking the session — images are now downscaled on paste, and oversized images in history are automatically removed and the request retried
- Fixed showing the login screen for "OAuth not allowed for organization" errors — now shows guidance to contact your admin
- Fixed OAuth login failing with timeout on slow or proxied connections, in IPv6-only devcontainers, and when the browser callback can't reach localhost

## 2.1.116

- `/resume` on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; `resources/templates/list` is now deferred to first `@`-mention
- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — `/terminal-setup` now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity

- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
- Fixed `@` file suggestions re-scanning the entire project on every turn in non-git working directories, and showing only config files in freshly-initialized git repos with no tracked files

- Added recap feature to provide context when returning to a session, configurable in `/config` and manually invocable with `/recap`; force with `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY` if telemetry disabled.
- The model can now discover and invoke built-in slash commands like `/init`, `/review`, and `/security-review` via the Skill tool
- `/undo` is now an alias for `/rewind`

- Improved `/resume` picker to default to sessions from the current directory; press `Ctrl+A` to show all projects
- Improved error messages: server rate limits are now distinguished from plan usage limits; 5xx/529 errors show a link to status.claude.com; unknown slash commands suggest the closest match

- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON` environment variable to immediately stop scheduled cron jobs mid-session
- Added `lsof`, `pgrep`, `tput`, `ss`, `fd`, and `fdfind` to the bash auto-approval allowlist, reducing permission prompts for common read-only operations
- Restored the `model` parameter on the Agent tool for per-invocation model overrides
- Simplified effort levels to low/medium/high (removed max) with new symbols (○ ◐ ●) and a brief notification instead of a persistent icon. Use `/effort auto` to reset to default

- Added support for marketplace git URLs without `.git` suffix (Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit)
- Improved marketplace clone failure messages to show diagnostic info even when git produces no stderr
- Fixed several plugin issues: installation failing on Windows with `EEXIST` error in OneDrive folders, marketplace blocking user-scope installs when a project-scope install exists, `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR` creating literal `~` directories, and `plugin.json` with marketplace-only fields failing to load
- Fixed feedback survey appearing too frequently in long sessions
- Fixed `--effort` CLI flag being reset by unrelated settings writes on startup
- Fixed backgrounded Ctrl+B queries losing their transcript or corrupting the new conversation after `/clear`
- Fixed `/clear` killing background agent/bash tasks — only foreground tasks are now cleared

- VSCode: Added effort level indicator on the input border
- VSCode: Added `vscode://anthropic.claude-code/open` URI handler to open a new Claude Code tab programmatically, with optional `prompt` and `session` query parameters

## 2.1.71

- Added `/loop` command to run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. `/loop 5m check the deploy`)
- Added cron scheduling tools for recurring prompts within a session
- Added `voice:pushToTalk` keybinding to make the voice activation key rebindable in `keybindings.json` (default: space) — modifier+letter combos like `meta+k` have zero typing interference
- Added `fmt`, `comm`, `cmp`, `numfmt`, `expr`, `test`, `printf`, `getconf`, `seq`, `tsort`, and `pr` to the bash auto-approval allowlist
- Fixed stdin freeze in long-running sessions where keystrokes stop being processed but the process stays alive

- Fixed prompting for `cd <cwd> && git ...` on Windows when the model uses a mingw-style path
- Improved startup time by deferring native image processor loading to first use
- Improved bridge session reconnection to complete within seconds after laptop wake from sleep, instead of waiting up to 10 minutes
- Improved `/plugin uninstall` to disable project-scoped plugins in `.claude/settings.local.json` instead of modifying `.claude/settings.json`, so changes don't affect teammates
- Improved plugin-provided MCP server deduplication — servers that duplicate a manually-configured server (same command/URL) are now skipped, preventing duplicate connections and tool sets. Suppressions are shown in the `/plugin` menu.
- Updated `/debug` to toggle debug logging on mid-session, since debug logs are no longer written by default
- Removed startup notification noise for unauthenticated org-registered claude.ai connectors

## 2.1.70

- Fixed API 400 errors when using `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` with a third-party gateway — tool search now correctly detects proxy endpoints and disables `tool_reference` blocks
- Fixed `API Error: 400 This model does not support the effort parameter` when using custom Bedrock inference profiles or other model identifiers not matching standard Claude naming patterns
- Fixed empty model responses immediately after `ToolSearch` — the server renders tool schemas with system-prompt-style tags at the prompt tail, which could confuse models into stopping early
- Fixed prompt-cache bust when an MCP server with `instructions` connects after the first turn
- Fixed Enter inserting a newline instead of submitting when typing over a slow SSH connection
- Fixed clipboard corrupting non-ASCII text (CJK, emoji) on Windows/WSL by using PowerShell `Set-Clipboard`

- Fixed a performance regression in the `AskUserQuestion` preview dialog that re-ran markdown rendering on every keystroke in the notes input
- Fixed feature flags read during early startup never refreshing their disk cache, causing stale values to persist across sessions
- Fixed `permissions.defaultMode` settings values other than `acceptEdits` or `plan` being applied in Claude Code Remote environments — they are now ignored
- Fixed skill listing being re-injected on every `--resume` (~600 tokens saved per resume)
- Fixed teleport marker not rendering in VS Code teleported sessions
- Improved error message when microphone captures silence to distinguish from "no speech detected"
- Improved compaction to preserve images in the summarizer request, allowing prompt cache reuse for faster and cheaper compaction
- Improved `/rename` to work while Claude is processing, instead of being silently queued
- Reduced prompt input re-renders during turns by ~74%
- Reduced startup memory by ~426KB for users without custom CA certificates
- Reduced Remote Control `/poll` rate to once per 10 minutes while connected (was 1–2s), cutting server load ~300×. Reconnection is unaffected — transport loss immediately wakes fast polling.
- [VSCode] Added spark icon in VS Code activity bar that lists all Claude Code sessions, with sessions opening as full editors
- [VSCode] Added full markdown document view for plans in VS Code, with support for adding comments to provide feedback
- [VSCode] Added native MCP server management dialog — use `/mcp` in the chat panel to enable/disable servers, reconnect, and manage OAuth authentication without switching to the terminal

- Fixed `--model claude-opus-4-0` and `--model claude-opus-4-1` resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
- Fixed macOS keychain corruption when using multiple OAuth MCP servers. Large OAuth metadata blobs could overflow the `security -i` stdin buffer, silently leaving stale credentials behind and causing repeated `/login` prompts.
- Fixed `.credentials.json` losing `subscriptionType` (showing "Claude API" instead of "Claude Pro"/"Claude Max") when the profile endpoint transiently fails during token refresh (anthropics/claude-code#30185)

- Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's `name` parameter
- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` being ignored during conversation compaction
- Fixed `/compact` summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
- Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
- Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
- Fixed global `.claude` folder detection on Windows
- Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in `acceptEdits` mode
- Fixed sandbox prompting users to approve non-allowed domains when `allowManagedDomainsOnly` is enabled in managed settings — non-allowed domains are now blocked automatically with no bypass
- Fixed interactive tools (e.g., `AskUserQuestion`) being silently auto-allowed when listed in a skill's allowed-tools, bypassing the permission prompt and running with empty answers
- Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
- Fixed Escape not interrupting a running turn when the input box has draft text. Use Up arrow to pull queued messages back for editing, or Ctrl+U to clear the input line.
- Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (`/voice`, `/cost`) in Remote Control sessions
- Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler `memoCache` over long sessions
- Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)

- Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
- Fixed hang when `--mcp-config` points to a corrupted file
- Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
- Fixed `cd <outside-dir> && <cmd>` permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from <dir>/"
- Fixed conditional `.claude/rules/*.md` files (with `paths:` frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (`claude -p`)

- Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when `/config` search box is focused but empty
- Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming `[ERROR]` logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
- Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
- Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
- Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
- Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
- Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
- Improved `--worktree` startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
- Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
- Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
- Improved MCP `-p` startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
- Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
- Improved MCP binary content handling: tools returning PDFs, Office documents, or audio now save decoded bytes to disk with the correct file extension instead of dumping raw base64 into the conversation context. WebFetch also saves binary responses alongside its summary.

- Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
- Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
- Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)

- [VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
- [VSCode] The permission mode picker now respects `permissions.disableBypassPermissionsMode` from your effective Claude Code settings (including managed/policy settings) — when set to `disable`, bypass permissions mode is hidden from the picker
- [VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)

## 2.1.68

- Opus 4.6 now defaults to medium effort for Max and Team subscribers. Medium effort works well for most tasks — it's the sweet spot between speed and thoroughness. You can change this anytime with `/model`
- Re-introduced the "ultrathink" keyword to enable high effort for the next turn
- Removed Opus 4 and 4.1 from Claude Code on the first-party API — users with these models pinned are automatically moved to Opus 4.6

- Fixed memory leak where long-running teammates retained all messages in AppState even after conversation compaction
- Fixed a memory leak where MCP server fetch caches were not cleared on disconnect, causing growing memory usage with servers that reconnect frequently
- Improved memory usage in long sessions with subagents by stripping heavy progress message payloads during context compaction
- Added "Always copy full response" option to the `/copy` picker. When selected, future `/copy` commands will skip the code block picker and copy the full response directly.
- VSCode: Added session rename and remove actions to the sessions list
- Fixed `/clear` not resetting cached skills, which could cause stale skill content to persist in the new conversation

## 2.1.62

- Added `/copy` command to show an interactive picker when code blocks are present, allowing selection of individual code blocks or the full response.
- Improved "always allow" prefix suggestions for compound bash commands (e.g. `cd /tmp && git fetch && git push`) to compute smarter per-subcommand prefixes instead of treating the whole command as one
- Improved ordering of short task lists
- Improved memory usage in multi-agent sessions by releasing completed subagent task state
- Fixed MCP OAuth token refresh race condition when running multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously
- Fixed shell commands not showing a clear error message when the working directory has been deleted

## 2.1.56

- VS Code: Fixed another cause of "command 'claude-vscode.editor.openLast' not found" crashes

## 2.1.55

- Fixed BashTool failing on Windows with EINVAL error

## 2.1.53

- Fixed a UI flicker where user input would briefly disappear after submission before the message rendered

- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
- BashTool now skips login shell (`-l` flag) by default when a shell snapshot is available, improving command execution performance. Previously this required setting `CLAUDE_BASH_NO_LOGIN=true`.
- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
- Fixed a bug where duplicate `control_response` messages (e.g. from WebSocket reconnects) could cause API 400 errors by pushing duplicate assistant messages into the conversation.
- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_ACCOUNT_UUID`, `CLAUDE_CODE_USER_EMAIL`, and `CLAUDE_CODE_ORGANIZATION_UUID` environment variables for SDK callers to provide account info synchronously, eliminating a race condition where early telemetry events lacked account metadata.
- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
- The `/model` picker now shows human-readable labels (e.g., "Sonnet 4.5") instead of raw model IDs for pinned model versions, with an upgrade hint when a newer version is available.
- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files

- Added `WorktreeCreate` and `WorktreeRemove` hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
- Fixed a bug where resumed sessions could be invisible when the working directory involved symlinks, because the session storage path was resolved at different times during startup. Also fixed session data loss on SSH disconnect by flushing session data before hooks and analytics in the graceful shutdown sequence.
- Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
