What's changed

• Added maxEffortLevel setting (top-level or per model under modelSettings): caps the effort level on every provider, including Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry; users can still pick a lower level
• Added --system-prompt-snapshot off to render the system prompt fresh on every request instead of reusing the conversation's recorded prompt (for iterating on prompt text)
• Fixed Cowork scheduled tasks in the cloud failing at startup for organizations whose managed settings require sandboxing
• Fixed /context and other local command output rendering blank on mobile clients
• Fixed shift+enter and option+backspace not working after reconnecting to a tmux or ssh session inside an agent view
• Fixed the dim last-prompt header not appearing at the top of the conversation when scrolling up in fullscreen mode
• Fixed Workflow agent() calls with large output schemas being refused in auto mode instead of being checked by the safety classifier
• Fixed a case where a marketplace entry path containing a backslash could bypass the containment check for fetched marketplaces on macOS and Linux
• Fixed expired AWS or Google Cloud credentials under a host app such as Claude Desktop retrying ten times with a generic "request failed" before the re-authenticate error appeared
• Fixed resuming a session after /compact or another slash command ran via -p --resume: a spurious "Continue from where you left off." turn is no longer inserted
• Fixed resuming a large session (transcript over 5 MB): parallel tool calls and their hook output are no longer dropped from the reloaded conversation
• Fixed managed allowedHttpHookUrls, httpHookAllowedEnvVars and allowedChannelPlugins to admit nothing, not everything, when unreadable
• Fixed /login on machines whose managed settings require Claude apps gateway sign-in: Esc now closes the dialog instead of doing nothing
• Fixed artifact publishes cut off by a dropped connection mid-upload: they now retry once when Claude Code can tell the upload never completed, instead of reporting an unknown outcome
• Fixed effort: frontmatter on custom commands, skills, and subagents being ignored on models whose default effort is still pinned (Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, Fable 5)
• Fixed artifact publish failing with an unhelpful error when the page file isn't valid UTF-8 or contains a replacement character (U+FFFD); the error now names the line and column to fix
• Fixed claude agents @ directory menu not listing repositories created after the session started
• Fixed Remote Control clients that join a Claude Desktop or VS Code session showing a stale permission mode until it was changed again
• Fixed claude remote-control exiting and dropping every attached session when its server credential expires (about 30 days after start); the host now re-registers and keeps going
• Fixed the usage-limit warning flickering on and off during a session when requests for different models or modes report different limit windows
• Fixed earlier reasoning being dropped when an MCP server re-sends, or a built-in tool re-renders, a tool the model already loaded
• Fixed a tool that disappears mid-conversation, from a disconnected MCP server or an upgrade, rewriting the tool list and discarding earlier thinking
• Fixed a background worker forked from a conversation adding EnterWorktree to the conversation's tool block mid-session, which broke prompt-cache reuse
• Fixed mid-session MCP and plugin tools being added to the tool list in sessions without ToolSearch, which broke prompt-cache reuse; supported models now receive them as deferred definitions
• Fixed switching models with /model re-sending every tool definition (a prompt-cache miss); commit and PR attribution text now arrives as a conversation note that updates on model changes
• Fixed resumed sessions rewriting the inline tool set when an MCP connector reconnects at a different moment than before
• Fixed resumed sessions re-rendering tool descriptions instead of replaying the recorded ones when the first turn ran a tool
• Fixed prompt-cache misses and dropped extended thinking when a claude.ai connector's tools change between a session and its resume
• Fixed resumed sessions rewriting earlier MCP tool announcements (and dropping extended thinking) before their connectors reconnect
• Fixed a prompt-cache break when a print-mode (-p) conversation is resumed interactively: the system prompt prefix no longer changes
• Improved the /diff panel: it no longer flashes "0 files changed" and a spinner before settling, and its empty state is centered in the panel
• Improved the Bash tool's description guidance so Claude describes what a command does in plain words instead of echoing the command
• Improved sandbox guidance so Claude suggests /copy when clipboard commands such as pbcopy fail inside the sandbox
• Improved --resume first-render time for sessions with many Bash tool calls
• Improved prompt input responsiveness: keystrokes no longer occasionally wait a frame behind spinner or streaming repaints
• Improved prompt-cache stability: subagents and sessions started with --system-prompt or --append-system-prompt now record the system prompt and tool definitions once instead of re-rendering them
• Improved Artifact tool publish errors: when a publish is refused, the message now says why and what to do about it
• Self-hosted runner: Changed --use-anthropic-git-proxy to be reported to the server at registration and to print a warning for each session that still clones through the legacy git proxy
• Gateway: Changed forward_user_identity upstreams to return a 429 as-is to a developer whose email was forwarded, instead of failing over to the next upstream, so the proxy's per-user limits hold
• [VSCode] Fixed the extension host hanging at 100% CPU when forking, editing an earlier message, or rewinding in a conversation whose saved transcript contains a cyclic parent link
• [VSCode] Fixed pasting a screenshot on WSL2/WSLg inserting raw image bytes into the chat input; the image is now attached when the clipboard provides it, otherwise the paste is ignored
• [VSCode] Fixed chat diff blocks always rendering with a dark editor theme; they now follow the active VS Code color theme, including high contrast
• [VSCode] Fixed mixed right-to-left and English text rendering in the wrong order while typing in the message input
• [VSCode] Fixed accepting an edit in the diff view on a file with Windows (CRLF) line endings failing with "String not found in file"
• [VSCode] Fixed @​-mentions dropping files whose paths contain spaces
• [VSCode] Fixed the sessions list view failing to load in windows connected over Remote-SSH when the workspace folder exists only on the remote host
• [VSCode] Fixed runaway ripgrep processes when viewing files in large or symlink-heavy workspaces
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed GitHub Enterprise Server sessions showing your GitHub account as disconnected once its token expired; PR and issue operations now refresh it automatically
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed gh and GitHub API calls failing in organizations without the Claude GitHub App; they now use your connected GitHub account and say so when none is connected
• [Claude Tag] Added a "Use a custom connector" link to the preset connection forms in Claude Tag admin settings, so you can switch to a custom connection without starting over
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude replying "The API rejected the request as invalid" when the organization has run out of usage credits; the reply now says so and explains how to add more
• [Claude Tag] Fixed thread requests to edit or delete a message Claude posted at the channel's top level being answered with a correction instead of reaching the session that posted it
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Connect on Tool access requests under Admin settings > Review requests failing with "Authorization failed" or showing the requested access bundle as deleted

v2.1.266

Compare Source

What's changed

• Fixed a 2.1.265 regression affecting LLM-gateway and proxy setups: the undocumented CLAUDE_CODE_USE_GATEWAY environment variable, previously ignored unless ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN were both set, began forcing Cloud-gateway sign-in on its own in 2.1.265, so configurations that set it alongside an API key, apiKeyHelper, or custom auth headers failed every request with "Not signed in to the Cloud gateway". The variable on its own is ignored again; no configuration change is needed

v2.1.265

Compare Source

What's changed

• Added user.email and user.groups to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway, matching terminal sessions
• Added support for pointing --plugin-dir at a folder of plugins: each child folder with a manifest loads, and children added or removed while running are picked up
• Added a 1 GB cap on tool results saved to disk; the in-conversation preview says when a saved file was truncated
• Fixed resuming a foreground-spawned subagent changing its tool list and system prompt prefix, which broke prompt-cache reuse for that agent
• Fixed agent teammates and resumed subagents moving SubagentStart hook context and preloaded skills out of the prompt prefix on later turns, which broke prompt-cache reuse
• Fixed resume after the previous process died while a tool was running: the last prompt is no longer rewritten, and the interrupted tool call is kept and marked interrupted
• Fixed /model opusplan[1m] being rejected with "Model not found"
• Fixed syntax-highlighted code in permission prompts and messages sometimes omitting a character after a Ruby ?, Erlang $, or Perl $ sigil
• Fixed the fullscreen transcript jumping by one row whenever the slash-command or @​-file suggestion list opened or closed
• Fixed a plugin path containing a backslash bypassing the symlink containment check on macOS and Linux
• Fixed plugin directories whose names begin with two dots being wrongly refused as outside the plugin root
• Fixed VS Code and SDK sessions occasionally requiring re-login when a session was closed while refreshing its token
• Fixed Remote Control sessions sending the end-of-turn signal before the reply's last message, which could show a reply as finished in the Claude app before its last part arrived
• Fixed background (--bg) sessions occasionally being retired mid-turn when a message arrived just before the idle timeout
• Fixed Claude Code's own git status and diff probes running clean filters configured by a nested repository inside the working tree
• Fixed the advisor tool and its instructions being re-decided per request from the request's model; the decision is now made once and announced in the conversation when it changes
• Fixed artifact publish accepting connector tool names the connector doesn't expose; the publish is now refused when none of the declared tools exist, and warned when only some don't
• Fixed /add-dir <subdirectory> refusing to load a subdirectory's agents when managed settings lock only skills to plugins, and promising agents when only agents are locked
• Fixed two-key keyboard shortcuts cancelling silently when the second key arrived more than a second later, as happens inside tmux; they now wait 3 seconds and show a notice when they time out
• Fixed forked skills (context: fork) not streaming their kickoff prompt and, with --forward-subagent-text, their text turns as progress events in stream-json
• Fixed a plugin's default component folder that the OS cannot check, such as a symlink loop, being silently skipped; it is now reported in /plugin with the error code
• Fixed the Claude apps gateway's OTLP telemetry relay pausing all forwarding to a collector for 30 seconds after it rejected a few payloads as malformed or too large
• Fixed /plugin Discover/Browse and claude plugin list --json --available showing no description or display name for marketplace plugins whose metadata lives only in their plugin.json
• Fixed /login showing "no gateway URL is configured" when re-run in a session that signed in to a Claude apps gateway set by managed settings
• Fixed /model claiming a model was "saved as your default" when the settings file couldn't be written; it now says the save failed and why
• Fixed /clear from Remote Control waiting on SessionStart hooks and on open terminal dialogs before completing
• Fixed the /config dialog changing height when switching between its tabs
• Fixed resuming a workflow run after its container restarted; a resume whose run journal is missing now fails with a clear error instead of rerunning every agent
• Fixed the claude-api skill's error-code reference: model access failures return 404 and unavailable beta headers return 400, not 403
• Fixed non-interactive sessions (-p with stream-json input, Agent SDK, cloud sessions) resetting the shell working directory at each new user message; a cd now persists across turns
• Fixed MCP servers configured as http that only speak the legacy HTTP+SSE transport never connecting; Claude Code now falls back to SSE as the MCP spec describes
• Fixed some claude.ai connectors in cloud sessions showing as needing authentication even though they are connected in claude.ai (servers that answer an unsupported request with HTTP 401)
• Fixed remote sessions keeping their sandbox container alive while a connector approval or sign-in link waits for you
• Fixed resumed sessions showing long model-facing recovery instructions in "background task didn't finish" notices instead of a short status line
• Windows: Fixed Read, Write and Edit refusing every file ("symlink resolution changed after permission was checked") when running inside an AppContainer or restricted-token sandbox
• Improved --worktree startup on large repositories: the new worktree is now checked out in parallel (git 2.32+)
• Improved /workflows agent detail: tool calls are marked running, failed or done, the subagent's task list is shown when it has one, and Enter unfolds the listed calls with their inputs and results
• Improved slash commands typed mid-prompt: matches now show in a list (Tab opens it outside fullscreen) instead of a single suggestion, and a plugin skill is now found by its bare name
• Improved remote MCP servers that need sign-in: Claude Code no longer registers an OAuth client with them until you actually authenticate
• Improved the time to resume long sessions that read many files
• Improved the error shown when an image over the size limits cannot be decoded: it now names the cause and how to fix it instead of only citing the limit
• Improved the Artifact tool's read of an artifact someone else wrote: the summary now treats the page as untrusted content and flags embedded instructions rather than relaying them
• Updated the .claude folder permission option to say what it actually allows: editing files in the project's .claude folder (or ~/.claude) for the session
• Changed machines with forceLoginGatewayUrl in managed settings to be Claude apps gateway sessions from startup, like forceLoginMethod: "gateway"; a leftover claude.ai login or API key is not used
• Changed image processing to use the runtime's built-in image support; the CLI no longer extracts a native image module to the temp directory
• Changed plugin display metadata to prefer the marketplace entry over plugin.json on the Installed tab and claude plugin details, filling gaps from plugin.json
• Changed Claude apps gateway sessions to export OpenTelemetry directly to a collector the gateway's managed settings name in OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, instead of through the gateway's relay; sessions without a named collector still use the relay
• [VSCode] Added automatic archiving of sessions inactive for a set period (new "Archive inactive sessions" setting, default 14 days)
• [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar chat coming back blank after Reload Window or a restart when the conversation had been open for more than 10 minutes
• [VSCode] Fixed the timeline dot sitting below the text on the "Remote Control is active" message

What's changed

• Bug fixes and reliability improvements

v2.1.261

Compare Source

What's changed

• Added an "Organization policy" line to /status and claude doctor that says why your organization's policy could not be loaded, such as a proxy not passing the endpoint through
• Added bashOutputMaxChars and taskOutputMaxChars settings to raise how much command and background-task output Claude receives inline before it is saved to a file, up to 128K characters
• Added --append-subagent-system-prompt-file to read the subagent system prompt from a file, for prompts too large to pass on the command line
• Added /skill-doctor to show which loaded skills go unused and what they cost in context, so you can prune them
• Fixed typed or pasted characters occasionally landing out of order or being dropped during fast input or key repeat
• Fixed /add-dir <subdirectory> printing a false "couldn't be resolved" error when the working directory is on a /net automount
• Fixed the Bedrock setup wizard hanging when AWS or an AWS credential helper never responds (it now times out with a clear error), and its model checks failing behind a TLS-inspecting proxy
• Fixed cloud sessions discarding a plugin synced from claude.ai when managed settings force-enable it in enabledPlugins, then falling back to a marketplace clone that could fail
• Fixed being unable to delete the character immediately before an inline [Image #N] chip in the prompt input
• Fixed resuming a session losing hook output and other context around parallel tool calls, which changed the resumed request
• Fixed Remote Control showing a stale permission mode when a phone, browser, or claude.ai app attaches to a terminal session or after the mode changes in the terminal
• Fixed Remote Control sessions showing as still working (stuck spinner and Stop button) after stopping a turn from a connected phone or browser, or after a local slash command like /clear
• Fixed SDK and cloud sessions ignoring a Stop or interrupt sent just after the first prompt, before the turn had started; the turn now stops instead of running to completion
• Fixed Remote Control uploading a session pulled with /teleport into the connected session, which appeared appended to the original on phone and web
• Fixed Remote Control's inbound event stream failing behind TLS-inspecting corporate proxies on native Windows
• Fixed Remote Control sessions showing the default effort level on claude.ai when the effort comes from settings
• Fixed gcpAuthRefresh opening a browser at startup when the Google credential check was slow, even though the credential was still valid
• Fixed claude.ai connectors staying absent for the whole session when the startup connector fetch timed out — the CLI now retries in the background
• Fixed sustained high CPU usage when a background agent could not be resumed and its wake-up was retried in a tight loop
• Fixed feature flags gated to a newer version occasionally applying to an older Claude Code version running on the same machine
• Fixed /usage and the VS Code usage panel dropping a model-specific weekly limit row when the usage endpoint is rate limited or when opened right after startup
• Fixed claude -p --resume <file> adopting a malformed session ID recorded in the transcript; it now resumes under a fresh session ID instead
• Fixed the terminal progress indicator (iTerm2, Ghostty, ConEmu) showing the session as finished while a background workflow or agent was still running
• Fixed a rare layout glitch where a box could render with the wrong height after its container switched between row and column direction
• Fixed Claude apps gateway client IP when a trusted proxy appends a port to X-Forwarded-For; with an access list set, an unreadable entry now gets 403
• Fixed Claude apps gateway telling Claude Desktop to export OpenTelemetry as JSON even when the terminal CLI uses protobuf, so protobuf-only collectors rejected Desktop's data
• Fixed Desktop and web showing a session as busy while it only watches an artifact for updates
• Fixed Claude in Chrome file_upload failing with "paths: expected array, received undefined" in local Cowork sessions run from the Claude Desktop app
• Fixed SendMessage to an offline Remote Control session on another machine reading as delivered; the result now says delivery is queued until that machine reconnects
• Fixed plugin install hints from CLIs run in background Bash commands: they are now detected, and the raw <claude-code-hint> tag no longer leaks into the conversation
• Fixed in-process agent-team teammates re-sending their first-turn tool and skill announcements on the second turn, which changed the request prefix and missed the prompt cache
• Improved the /model picker and the VS Code model pill to show a model's name instead of its raw Bedrock, Vertex AI, or LLM gateway ID when Claude Code recognizes it
• Improved startup on Google Vertex AI when GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is set: API client creation no longer re-runs Google Cloud project discovery or spawns extra gcloud processes
• Improved streaming performance: already-rendered blocks are no longer re-checked by layout on each update
• Improved the dangerous-rm safety prompt to also catch rm -rf on positional parameters and inside double-quoted sh -c scripts
• Improved handling when the API sends no response headers: the retry now waits up to API_TIMEOUT_MS (10 minutes by default) instead of another 3 minutes, and the messages say what to change
• Changed a Claude apps gateway 403 on the managed settings load (at startup or after /login) to say Claude Code may not be enabled for the organization, instead of advising a new sign-in
• Changed machines whose managed settings pin forceLoginMethod: "gateway" to ignore a leftover API key or claude.ai login and ask for /login; Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry sessions are unaffected
• Changed auto mode to treat a link that packs content into a public diagram renderer's URL as an upload to that site: no longer auto-approved unless you asked for it
• Changed the prompt's word-editing keys to match Bash: Ctrl+W deletes back to whitespace, Alt+F and Alt+D stop at word end, punctuation separates words; keybindingFlavor no longer has any effect
• Changed /context token counting to use a local estimate when the token-counting API is unavailable, instead of extra small-model requests
• [VSCode] Added a "Build a custom style" walkthrough to the Output styles menu that writes a custom output style file and lists it right away
• [VSCode] Added an Add server form and a Remove action to the MCP servers dialog, so MCP servers can be added and removed without leaving the IDE
• [VSCode] Added a hollow ring in the session list for sessions open in a terminal, another VS Code window, or Claude Desktop, so they no longer look closed
• [VSCode] Added a fold button to permission and question prompts so the conversation behind them can be read without dismissing them; the space beside the prompt now scrolls the conversation
• [VSCode] Added "Archive session" to the session list's right-click menu and gave Unarchive its own icon
• [VSCode] Fixed a session teleported from Claude Code on the web treating a question that was cut off when the cloud session shut down as declined
• [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename box opening empty for a tab restored with the window; it now starts with the current name
• [VSCode] Fixed collapsed sections in the session list panel briefly showing expanded each time the panel loaded
• [VSCode] Fixed Focus view showing a tool call as still running after Claude had moved on, such as while a question waited for your answer
• [VSCode] Fixed the session list's active-row highlight going stale when an unfocused Claude tab's session ID is corrected
• [VSCode] Fixed Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T reopen and deep-link opens placing the Claude tab outside the Claude editor group when a Claude tab has focus
• [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's "Add to group" putting a session opened from Claude Code on the Web in two groups; it now moves the entry the session list shows
• [VSCode] Fixed the model picker showing models an organization has since disabled until the window was reloaded twice
• [VSCode] Fixed a tab opened from the session list jumping back to that session, and a tab opened from a Web session restarting its teleport or staying empty, after VS Code reloads the tab's view
• [VSCode] Fixed /btw side-question history from earlier sessions being overwritten when a question is asked right after a window reload or while a settings file has errors
• [VSCode] Fixed the pending question card not reappearing after the Claude panel reloads when signed in with a Claude.ai or Console account
• [VSCode] Fixed claude.ai-only features staying visible in a window's other Claude panels after one panel picked up a third-party provider from a settings file
• [VSCode] Fixed the sign-in screen appearing despite the Disable Login Prompt setting when Claude Code reports no login or a request fails for lack of one
• [VSCode] Fixed the next queued permission prompt keeping text typed on the previous prompt and accepting an immediate second click
• [VSCode] Fixed install-plugin links opening the Claude sidebar without the install dialog in a window where only the session list had been shown
• [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar usage meter staying empty on a new window until the Account & usage dialog was opened, and a 0% usage limit being left out of the meter
• [VSCode] Fixed "Start new session in this group" losing the group after New conversation, and a missing unread dot for a session that finished before the sidebar's unread list loaded
• [VSCode] Fixed the editor tab badge showing unread during a running turn or missing on a tab opened from the session list, and "Add Session Tab to Group" doing nothing for an archived session
• [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" so flipping it also applies right away to sessions open in other VS Code windows
• [VSCode] Fixed the session list's Open filter for sessions continued from claude.ai whose tab was still recorded under the web session, and labeled the filter menu's sections for screen readers
• [VSCode] Changed the model picker to one flat list of every model, with rows kept for older model spellings listed last

v2.1.260

What's changed

• Added a diff panel that opens beside the conversation in fullscreen mode and shows your uncommitted changes as Claude edits; toggle it with /diff
• Added a likely cause for prompt-cache misses (e.g. tool definitions or system prompt changed, idle past the TTL) to /cost and the status line's prompt_cache field
• Added /reload-plugins to headless sessions, so it appears in the Claude Code Desktop and SDK command lists
• Added a text form of /advisor (/advisor, /advisor <model>, /advisor off) for the desktop app, Remote Control, and other headless (-p/Agent SDK) sessions
• Added oidc.scope_on_refresh to the Claude apps gateway for IdPs that return an id_token on refresh only when asked for openid again
• Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in desktop policy blocks, including userPluginMarketplacesEnabled and userPluginUploadsEnabled
• Fixed Edit/Write/Read permission rules whose path contains parentheses being dropped as invalid or ignored by the Bash sandbox, which left "read-only" folders writable
• Fixed one file permission rule with an uncompilable pattern (e.g. an unclosed [) making every file edit fail with Invalid regular expression; such a deny rule now guards the literal path it spells
• Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving zsh commands that hide a command substitution in a REPORTTIME, REPORTMEMORY or DIRSTACKSIZE assignment; these now prompt for approval
• Fixed Bedrock model discovery, token counting and AWS SSO/STS credential calls failing with "unable to get local issuer certificate" when the corporate root CA is only in the OS certificate store
• Fixed permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories on macOS hiding the user's git config from sandboxed git and hiding a worktree-isolated sub-agent's own checkout
• Fixed managed settings not loading for claude.ai Enterprise/Team users who also had a leftover API key from an earlier /login
• Fixed /status listing a signed-in claude.ai account and a configured API key as if both were in effect; the credential not in use is now marked
• Fixed managed skillOverrides entries keyed on a bundled skill's alias (e.g. checkup for /doctor) not applying, and Skill(name) deny rules not covering a nested skill listed as <dir>:name
• Fixed model: fable agents ignoring the [1m] tag on an ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_FABLE_MODEL pin and silently running with a 200K context window
• Fixed the /model picker not showing Fable 5.1 for organizations that can use it, which was only accepted when typed as /model claude-fable-5-1
• Fixed prompt caching on Claude Fable 5.1 not covering the context attached after tool results, so it was re-sent as uncached input on every tool-call turn
• Fixed model switching staying blocked for the rest of the session after a plugin hook load failure; each switch now re-checks and the refusal names the cause
• Fixed model switching being blocked for the session when an organization-managed plugin's marketplace could not be loaded
• Fixed SDK-provided MCP servers (e.g. Desktop connectors) sometimes missing from the first turn and only appearing on the next one
• Fixed Claude in Chrome tools failing with "Not connected" mid-task in cloud-hosted claude.ai sessions when a connector was added or removed
• Fixed flags, joined emoji and accented letters splitting across wrapped lines, and stale text staying on screen when a flag or joined emoji falls in the terminal's last two columns (now shown as …)
• Fixed Remote Control accepting a model pick that is not a valid model name; it is now refused with an error instead of failing on the next message
• Fixed /rewind and --rewind-files reporting success when checkpoint backup files were missing and nothing was actually restored
• Fixed /rewind leaving stale file-read tracking from the rewound-away turns, which caused "File unchanged since last read" stubs and full-file re-injection after external edits
• Fixed -p --resume/--continue (as used by the desktop app) failing on every retry once a session's worktree directory lost its git metadata; it now fails once, then resumes without the worktree
• Fixed a subagent that resumed another agent via SendMessage never being woken by that agent's completion (the notification went to the main conversation instead)
• Fixed agent teams: an in-process teammate's transcript losing messages, or going blank, during long API retry waits (e.g. under CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) as retry notices evicted real messages
• Fixed a session that moved to the background appearing twice in ListAgents (once as a phantom "interactive" twin with the same name) and receiving SendMessage deliveries in the viewer
• Fixed intermittent "task output swap refused" errors when many sessions share a project directory
• Fixed Ctrl+Z in fullscreen leaving the shell on the alternate screen, drawn over the paused interface
• Fixed Workflow tool subagents being restarted as stalled while a long context compaction was still in progress
• Fixed plugins from a URL marketplace failing to install with "marketplace entry path does not stay inside the marketplace directory" when a host app (e.g. Claude Desktop) stores it as a directory
• Fixed an extra browser tab opening when an artifact is published in a session you're driving from claude.ai, the desktop app, or mobile (Remote Control)
• Fixed the Artifact tool's first call failing with an "Invalid tool parameters" validation error in some Cowork sessions
• Fixed IDE line selections being dropped when running a skill or slash command (the "N lines selected" context now reaches Claude)
• Fixed repository detection for GitLab projects in nested subgroups (e.g. gitlab.com/group/subgroup/project)
• Fixed owner/repo#123 issue references in rendered output linking to github.com when working in a GitLab repository; they now link to the gitlab.com issue
• Glob/Grep: Fixed the search path being probed on disk before the permission check; a missing path is now reported after permission is decided, as Read does
• Reverted the 2.1.259 change applying Read() deny rules to Bash arguments; it denied npm run build under a Read(./**/build/**) rule in every mode and made cd … && grep prompt even in auto mode
• Improved structured output: Workflow agent({schema}) rejects a JSON Schema that can never be satisfied up front, and retry-cap errors now include the last validation failure
• Improved deleting a background session whose worktree has unpushed commits: the message now names the branch and commit count, and deleting again discards the worktree
• Improved the Claude apps gateway's refresh-failure log to name the step that failed
• Improved idle CPU usage of non-interactive (-p / SDK) sessions
• Improved the Claude apps gateway on Amazon Bedrock: input tokens for an aborted request are now counted with AWS's free CountTokens API (grant bedrock:CountTokens) instead of a one-token request
• Improved the settings error for rules such as Edit(C:\dir\(name)\**), where \( is read as an escaped parenthesis rather than a path separator, to suggest an unambiguous spelling
• Improved auto-compact for 1M-context models: Opus and Fable sessions now compact shortly before the 1M-token limit, and recovery compaction on very large contexts no longer times out at 10 minutes
• Improved /ultrareview and claude ultrareview to wait up to 45 minutes (previously 30) for long-running cloud reviews
• Improved /effort on Claude Fable 5.1 so changing effort mid-session no longer invalidates the prompt cache
• Updated the bundled claude-api skill so its Go, Java, and C# samples use current-generation model IDs, and clarified that cheaper worker or sub-agent models should be current-generation too
• Changed ctrl+l / cmd+k in fullscreen mode to clear the transcript view like a terminal clear; scroll up to see earlier messages
• Changed permission rules with text after the closing parenthesis (e.g. Bash(ls) x), which never matched anything, to be reported as invalid settings instead of being silently ignored
• Changed server-managed settings so a managed CLAUDE.md (claudeMd) no longer triggers the security approval dialog; hooks, shell-command, sandbox, and unsafe env settings still require approval
• Changed Claude in Chrome to follow your organization's Claude in Chrome admin setting; when an admin turns it off, --chrome, /chrome and the browser tools are unavailable
• Changed Claude apps gateway to send orgPluginSettings in the list form read by Claude Desktop 1.15200.0 and later; older desktops ignore it
• Changed Claude apps gateway to also refuse to start, naming the field, when a desktop policy misspells a field in a nested object of a managedMcpServers or orgPluginSettings entry
• Changed commands typed at the ! bash-mode prompt to run outside the sandbox even when strict sandbox mode (sandbox.allowUnsandboxedCommands: false) is on, like typing into your own terminal
• Changed self-hosted runner --kill-session-after-min to release a session that is only waiting on its user (paused, resumable on the next message) instead of killing it and reporting a failure
• Removed the one-hour time limit on background commands started by subagents; they now run until they exit or are stopped, matching the main session
• [VSCode] Added the selected effort level to the footer model pill, fixed a stale effort level after switching models, and returned the footer pills to their earlier compact size
• [VSCode] Added Open and Closed to the session list's status filter menu
• [VSCode] Fixed the welcome screen disappearing in a new session when Remote Control turns on automatically
• [VSCode] Fixed the session history picker loading a session a second time when it is already open in another tab; it now switches to that tab
• [VSCode] Fixed the session tab's Rename command silently doing nothing while the tab's view was reloading; it now always applies
• [VSCode] Fixed a half-finished message, an empty tool card or an extra "Thought for" line staying on screen after Claude Code retried a dropped response
• [VSCode] Fixed "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" not applying to a session tab that was still starting when the toggle was flipped
