Claude Code Updates & Release Notes

• Added claude plugin eval: run a plugin's eval suite against Claude Code and get scored, reproducible results (JSON + HTML report); see claude plugin eval --help
• Added /output-style [name] to list and switch output styles, including over Remote Control and in cloud and other headless sessions
• Added a diff of the files a Bash command changed to the Bash tool result when the Bash tool handles file edits (setting bashEditDiffEnabled)
• Added OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_REPOSITORY to tag OpenTelemetry metrics and events with vcs.* repository attributes; commit events get vcs.ref.head.* with OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS
• Added CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS to extend the LLM gateway /v1/models discovery timeout (default 3s)
• Added a spinner tip suggesting /focus for a view with just your prompt, a one-line work summary, and the response
• Added CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS (1–256) to raise the Workflow tool's per-run concurrent agent limit for inference-bound fan-outs
• Fixed the prompt cache being partially invalidated on the turn after a response was cut off at the output-token limit and automatically resumed
• Fixed a case where resuming a session after interrupting Claude mid-thought could change how earlier context was re-sent, hurting prompt-cache reuse
• Fixed F1/F2/F4 not working in kitty-protocol terminals and Delete in st, Alt+arrows acting as Escape in rxvt-unicode, and Shift+punctuation typing the unshifted key in WezTerm (regression in 2.1.247)
• Fixed remote and headless sessions reporting "waiting for your input" while background agents were still running (set CLAUDE_CODE_BG_TASKS_REPORT_RUNNING=0 to restore the old behavior)
• Fixed the terminal's replies to capability queries (^[[?1;2c) appearing as stray text at startup in some terminals
• Fixed rows at the top or bottom of the transcript going blank in fullscreen after resizing the terminal
• Fixed a deny or ask permission rule starting with ! applying beyond the settings source that wrote it; such a rule now applies only within its own source, and a bare ! negation is ignored
• Fixed the git status Claude is told after a compaction: it is now the current status, not the one from the start of the session
• Fixed synced plugin MCP servers not connecting when a remote session resumes
• Fixed resumed headless sessions losing a turn's replies when the model was switched or a request was retried mid-turn
• Fixed terminal escape codes, line breaks and oversized text from a background task's on-disk record reaching the task list and task notifications when work is resumed
• Fixed CMYK JPEG images failing to attach with "cannot decode"; they are now converted and resized like other JPEGs
• Fixed the managed settings approval dialog not naming the collector for a gRPC telemetry endpoint set without a scheme
• Fixed plugin headersHelper consent prompts showing a URL path that could be misread as a different host
• Fixed plugin errors showing [redacted URL] in place of a relative Windows path with a folder name that starts with @
• Fixed missing cursor in the permission-rule, auto-mode-rule, add-directory, session-rename and feedback-review text fields when the terminal's native cursor is enabled
• Fixed repeated clicks on a /fork receipt, each under a second apart, never backgrounding the session right away while it waited for the current tool to finish
• Fixed plugin LSP servers that reject shutdown params (e.g. rust-analyzer) being left running at session end; exit is now sent even if shutdown fails
• Fixed the attribution reminder overriding a CLAUDE.md or memory rule against commit and pull request attribution; lines set by managed settings still apply
• Fixed prompt suggestions being dropped for text in Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other languages written without spaces between words
• Fixed synchronized output being assumed from the terminal's name in GNOME Terminal and Konsole versions that do not support it
• Fixed permission_denials in --output-format stream-json results omitting Read, Edit and Write calls blocked by a path-scoped deny rule
• Fixed sessions run through the SDK or the desktop app showing an unknown status in other sessions' agent list
• Fixed /insights failing on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and gateway deployments whose account can't reach the default Opus model by using the session model there instead
• Fixed organization policy limits not loading for the session when another Claude Code process refreshed the login at the same moment
• Fixed Claude Desktop sessions using Bedrock, Vertex, or a gateway not getting the contextual "what Claude needs" turn-end notification text
• Fixed MCP servers reconnecting when an updated config only changed the order of the server URL's query parameters
• Fixed the prompt box's top border splitting into extra lines when viewing a background agent whose name or description has line breaks or is wider than the terminal
• Fixed sessions getting permanently stuck on "Prompt is too long" when auto-compaction had no complete earlier exchange to summarize (mostly Agent SDK sessions with very large prompts)
• Fixed /goal runs silently stalling after API errors, network drops, or token limits: the goal now retries with backoff, or pauses and says why, including until a usage limit resets
• Fixed prompt cache misses in cloud sessions by waiting briefly for server configuration before the first request
• Fixed /btw answers that contained made-up tool calls and output: the side question is now told not to write them, and any that appear are flagged as not executed
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN re-running a turn that had failed with an API error over 6 hours earlier, or longer ago than CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN_MAX_AGE_MS when set
• Fixed organization plugins enabled through managed settings not loading in headless sessions and on Claude Desktop (once Desktop bundles this CLI version); they load from the next session
• Fixed plugin archives extracted for a session being readable by other local users, extracted files keeping world-writable bits from the archive, and stale files surviving re-extraction
• Fixed Edit() deny rules and the write-path check not applying to the file a Bash tee command writes; a Bash(tee:*) allow rule no longer covers destinations outside the working directories
• Fixed stray characters like 22c, or a terminal's color or version reply, being typed into the prompt at startup over slow connections (ssh, browser terminals)
• Fixed the terminal's block cursor showing under the interface in rxvt-unicode after leaving or re-entering fullscreen
• Fixed the cursor block staying visible after returning from an external editor in fullscreen mode on rxvt-unicode
• Fixed the interface being drawn twice after returning from an external editor (Ctrl+G) outside fullscreen mode
• Fixed the interface being drawn twice in Konsole after returning from an external editor
• Windows: Fixed PowerShell tool commands sent to the background stopping when Claude Code exits
• Improved the /diff panel to open fully rendered in one step instead of showing a loading state first
• Improved prompt suggestion filtering for Japanese, Chinese and Korean text: mixed-script and single-word suggestions are kept, and meta or evaluative text is dropped as it is for English
• Improved the Skill tool's "Unknown skill" error to name the plugin skill's full name when a bare name matches exactly one plugin skill
• Improved keyboard support over SSH and in unrecognized terminals: terminals that answer the kitty keyboard query (such as foot and Alacritty 0.16+) now get Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift shortcuts
• Improved responsiveness in long sessions: transcript updates no longer re-process the whole conversation to build the collapsed tool-use summaries
• Improved first-party sessions with telemetry disabled: an alwaysLoad MCP server that finishes connecting mid-conversation is usable on the next turn without a tool-search round trip
• Changed /ultrareview --post to post the PR comment directly when the findings arrive and print the comment link, instead of starting a second cloud session to post it
• Changed artifact database reads that save into the session scratchpad so they no longer stop for working-folder approval
• Changed skills synced from claude.ai in cloud sessions to be named anthropic-skills:<name>, matching Claude Desktop; the bare name still works when nothing else uses it
• [VSCode] Added an agent map: an "N agents" footer pill opens a map of the session's sub-agents with per-agent cards, Stop agent, and read-only transcripts
• [VSCode] Added a Hooks dialog to the command menu for viewing hooks and adding, editing, or removing them in user, project, and local settings; managed, plugin, and session hooks stay read-only
• [VSCode] Added live progress rows for running subagents under the tool-call groups in Focus view
• [VSCode] Added a Permission rules dialog that lists permission rules and adds or removes them in user, project, and local settings; startup-option, session-only, and managed rules stay read-only
• [VSCode] Added a Cancel button to the Switch account screen that returns to your session as the current account
• [VSCode] Fixed Focus view showing a turn started by a delivered plain-text prompt, such as a scheduled task's, as part of the previous turn
• [VSCode] Fixed the footer's prompt cache clock hiding its minutes when the panel is narrow
• [VSCode] Fixed the session list keeping sessions from the default folder when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set in a settings file or the environmentVariables setting
• [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview that finished loading late sometimes hiding its comment box or showing an older plan
• [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview accepting comments that went nowhere after its Claude tab closed
• [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock and reopen notice for a session compacted after its last reply and then closed, which now reads as cold when reopened
• [VSCode] Fixed a session renamed in the extension while Remote Control is on keeping its old name on claude.ai/code
• [VSCode] Fixed the "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" toggle keeping its last position after the setting was reset to default from a terminal
• [VSCode] Fixed restored Claude tabs not counting as open in the session list after a window reload until clicked, and their row opening a second tab
• [VSCode] Fixed Switch account making a tab forget its dismissed usage-limit warnings when you sign back in as the same account
• [VSCode] Fixed a session rename being replaced by the generated name after a window reload when the session was renamed during a long turn
• [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar usage meter keeping a stale per-model weekly limit row after the account loses that limit
• [VSCode] Fixed a rare case where an @-mention sent with the keyboard shortcut while a new chat view was still starting could be inserted into the input long after the keystroke
• [VSCode] Fixed the session list jumping down when the Account & usage header appeared a moment after opening the Claude side bar
• [VSCode] Improved documents and messages written for someone other than the user: Claude now writes them for that audience and names it at the top of its reply
• [VSCode] Improved screen reader and keyboard accessibility in the slash-command menu, @-mention menu, output-style picker, Send/Stop button, permission and question cards, and onboarding checklist
• [VSCode] Changed the current-file chip in the message box: an X now removes it, replacing the Hide toggle
• [VSCode] Removed the Claude Code items from a session tab's right-click menu and the editor title bar's "..." menu; they could not act on the tab the menu was opened on
• [Claude Code on the web] Added taking back a queued message in a cloud session before Claude reads it: remove it from the queue, or press Esc or Up, and the text returns to the message box
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed /model default in a cloud session leaving every later message failing in organizations that restrict which models Claude Code can use
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed one-off scheduled routines occasionally running a second time after a transient server error
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed routine runs that use subagents sometimes being treated as finished too early, which could skip the retry after a real failure or start a duplicate run
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed file links in cloud session transcripts opening a GitHub 404 when Claude was working from a subfolder of the repository
• [Claude Code on the web] Changed the Cloud environments admin page to list every environment instead of capping each table at five rows behind a Show more control that could be unreachable
• [Claude Code on the web] Changed claude.ai/code for Free-plan users to open the plans page with a path to upgrade, instead of a "Disabled by org admin" page with no way forward
• [Claude Tag] Added a confirmation dialog before Connect all or Disconnect on a GitHub installation in admin settings, to guard against accidental organization-wide changes
• [Claude Tag] Fixed threads occasionally going silent after a failed turn because the failure notice was dropped when Slack briefly rate-limited it; the notice is now retried
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude accepting a switch to a model your organization hasn't enabled and then quietly answering with a fallback model; it now declines and says an admin can enable it
• [Claude Tag] Fixed a table posting as raw pipe text when Claude attached files to the same message; the table now posts as a normal reply and the files follow with a plain caption
• [Claude Tag] Fixed @Claude !restart at the top level of a channel where Claude isn't active starting an unrelated conversation; it now privately says there is nothing to restart
• [Claude Tag] Fixed plugin rows in Slack access settings showing an unlabeled raw ID with no way to turn the plugin off; they now show its name and link to the bundle that manages it
• [Claude Tag] Fixed the shared-session banner and Share dialog on sessions started from Slack claiming the whole organization could open the link; they now name the Slack channel's audience
• [Claude Tag] Improved load time of the admin settings page and its Slack channel picker, most noticeably for organizations with many channels or several connected workspaces
• [Claude Tag] Improved scheduled routines in Slack channels: a routine run can now reply in an existing thread instead of always posting a new top-level channel message
• [Claude Tag] Improved the timestamp on Claude's live progress checklists to show each reader's local time and how long ago it was updated, instead of a fixed UTC time

• Added to the Claude apps gateway: with pricing: set in gateway.yaml, signed-in Claude Code clients receive the same rates through managed settings, so /cost and telemetry match the spend meter
• Added a startup warning for gateways when access_control.allow_cidrs is empty, and a one-time warning the first time a request arrives from a public address
• Added the gatewayInternalNetworks managed setting, letting administrators allow /login to a Claude apps gateway on their organization's own public IPv4 block
• Added claude self-hosted-runner --remove-session-state (default off): delete each session's per-session directories under <base-dir>/_sessions/ when the session ends
• Added configDirectory to the output of claude auth status --json
• Added --json to claude plugin install, uninstall, update, enable and disable, and errorDetails/noteDetails to each row of claude plugin list --json
• Added browser-tab icons for published artifacts, chosen by Claude to match each page
• Fixed every turn failing with HTTP 400 on third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoints (ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL) since 2.1.265: a regex in the Artifact tool's input schema that those endpoints reject
• Fixed WebFetch hanging indefinitely on a server that keeps the response open without finishing; a fetch now fails after 300 seconds. Set CLAUDE_CODE_WEBFETCH_DEADLINE_MS to override the deadline (0 turns it off)
• Fixed a respawned in-process teammate picking up tools or a system prompt from a same-named agent file in a folder you have not trusted
• Fixed sustained high CPU usage: a busy loop in long-running idle sessions no longer pins a CPU core, and rapid terminal focus reports during a session recap no longer keep the CPU high
• Fixed Claude sometimes replying "your message came through empty" after an MCP tool call
• Fixed deny and ask permission rules on symlinked directories (/etc, /tmp, /var on macOS; /bin on Linux) not applying when a path was given by its real location, and Bash commands ignoring deny rules written on a symlinked path spelling
• Fixed a case where a Read or Edit deny rule did not apply when an env -C, eval or similar command the permission checker cannot analyze was on the same line
• Fixed plugin and marketplace errors showing a token or password from a git source URL
• Fixed /mcp and /plugin server details, claude mcp list/get, and MCP login errors showing secrets resolved from ${VAR} placeholders in MCP configs
• Fixed prompt caching and extended thinking breaking mid-session for SDK sessions using excludeDynamicSections: the first message is no longer re-rendered each request
• Fixed entitled users being told a model is restricted after restart or in the Desktop Code tab when a cached model-access denial was stale
• Fixed a running session silently switching to the organization's default model when another Claude Code process refreshed a stale model-access entry
• Fixed long-context 429s on Fable models showing the usage-credits consent prompt instead of the 1M-context message on Pro and Team plans
• Fixed workload identity federation via a profile (as claude-code-action configures it): processes sharing the profile could fail mid-run with 401 … jti reused
• Fixed MCP server OAuth sign-in failing with "No available ports for OAuth redirect" when the local callback port range can't be bound
• Fixed the conversation summary produced by /compact and auto-compact mangling text that contained $ sequences
• Fixed resuming a conversation that ended with /compact: its restored-file notes now load in the same order on every resume
• Fixed SDK prompt suggestions, side questions and /rename sending the conversation from before a compaction
• Fixed @ file and / command suggestions not appearing after recalling a previous prompt with the up arrow and editing it
• Fixed claude agents: pressing left arrow again at a natural pace to go back to the agent list no longer gets ignored until you pause for over a second
• Fixed claude agents session delete getting stuck when a worktree can't be removed: the message names the cause and next step, and for a git worktree ctrl+x again deletes the directory anyway
• Fixed background agent and workflow rows in the agents panel expanding to many lines when their text contained line breaks
• Fixed Claude in Slack sessions losing their Slack tools when org managed settings set an MCP allowlist
• Fixed Claude in Chrome asking to allow the host "https" when a navigation URL had a scheme but a host that could not be parsed
• Fixed the spinner wrapping onto several lines when the current task's label is long; the label and the "Next:" task line now stay within one terminal row
• Fixed the /bug and /feedback description field showing no cursor when the terminal's native cursor is enabled
• Fixed Remote Control sessions served by claude remote-control showing a generated name instead of their session title in ListAgents
• Fixed claude plugin validate rejecting plugin paths whose directory name begins with two dots, which the plugin loader accepts
• Fixed plugins silently skipping a default monitors file or root SKILL.md that could not be checked
• Fixed WebFetch's error for localhost and other dotless hostnames to explain why the URL is refused and suggest curl
• Fixed PermissionRequest hooks not firing in --print mode
• Fixed policy-helper warnings not printing on headless (-p) runs
• Fixed /resume listing a /fork background session under its parent's name instead of its own fork name
• Fixed /remote-control and other claude.ai-gated commands to suggest /login when signed out instead of showing a Claude for Enterprise migration message
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS not extending SessionEnd hooks that have no per-hook timeout (they were still cancelled after 1.5 seconds)
• Fixed /autofix-pr and other cloud-session commands saying to retry or install the Claude GitHub App when no GitHub account is connected; they now point to /web-setup or the web connect page
• Fixed cloud-session commands such as /teleport and /remote-env to explain when an organization policy turns them off, instead of answering "Unknown command"
• Fixed Bash sandbox instructions over-stating confinement: no unenforced path lists when filesystem isolation is off, and strict mode no longer claims commands can never run unsandboxed
• Improved fullscreen mode: adding or removing a prompt line (Shift+Enter) now repaints as fast as typing a character instead of re-rendering the visible transcript
• Improved --continue / --resume: the conversation appears immediately instead of waiting for SessionStart hooks, and the first message no longer re-reads the whole transcript
• Improved responsiveness during tool-heavy turns by no longer redrawing the transcript for a hidden per-tool-batch reminder
• Improved startup time in projects with .claude/workflows/ scripts: listing them no longer parses each script
• Improved auto mode denials: the message Claude receives now names the rule that blocked the action and asks Claude to try a safer method and finish unrelated work before stopping to ask you
• Improved Claude in Chrome: long page reads now stay inline instead of being saved to a file and read back
• Improved the MEMORY.md truncation warning to say how many lines were cut and where the cut starts
• Improved the terminal permission prompt for artifacts: it now leads with the ask's question
• Improved the prompt footer: an editor or /diff selection now shows inside the prompt input, and fullscreen mode shows Remote Control status in the header instead of the footer
• Improved the "Usage credits required for 1M context" message to say that usage credits turned on mid-session take effect after restarting Claude Code
• Improved /plugin: installing, enabling or disabling a plugin now takes effect when you close the menu; /reload-plugins is no longer needed afterwards
• Changed the system prompt on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry to deliver environment, model and settings details as attachments, matching first-party sessions
• Changed Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry sessions to keep the tool list byte-stable across a conversation (late-connecting tools load deferred instead of rewriting it), matching first-party sessions
• Changed the task-tracking tools (TaskCreate/Get/Update/List, TodoWrite) to be offered only on Claude 3.x, Opus 4.0-4.7, Sonnet 4.0-4.6, Haiku 4.5; set CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1 elsewhere
• Changed the artifact data-edit permission prompt in the terminal to a card that shows the document count and who can open the artifact
• Changed local Cowork sessions set to skip all approvals: the Artifact tool now refuses a local file outside the session's folders, or behind a symlink, instead of reading it without asking
• Changed plain WebFetch deny and ask rules to no longer apply to Artifact tool reads and updates; use an Artifact rule (or WebFetch(domain:claude.ai)) to block or gate them
• Changed the "N MCP servers need authentication" startup notice to announce each server once instead of at every launch
• [VSCode] Fixed the session list, settings toggles, and chat tabs when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set in a settings file or the environmentVariables setting
• [VSCode] Fixed the model pill, model picker and command menu going blank in open tabs for a few seconds after a login, logout or account switch
• [VSCode] Fixed Auto disappearing from the mode picker in new-tab or just-reloaded conversations when a project or local setting overrides the model named in ~/.claude/settings.json
• [VSCode] Fixed session names reverting to the last prompt after a window reload when a SessionStart hook is configured
• [VSCode] Fixed the footer's model pill and Remote Control pill waiting for the new tab's Claude process to start when another tab in the window is already up
• [VSCode] Fixed a second Claude process running through its full startup when a session tab's launch arrived more than half a second after its config read
• [VSCode] Fixed resuming a session from the session list ignoring claudeCode.preferredLocation: "sidebar" (it always opened a panel), and programmatic opens resetting that setting to "panel"
• [VSCode] Fixed Windows issues: the WSL install prompt no longer appears on machines without WSL installed, and IDE diagnostics are now returned correctly for Windows files when WSL is installed
• [VSCode] Fixed the custom style builder saving a User level style in a folder the CLI does not read when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set through settings
• [VSCode] Added Left and Right arrow keys to change where an always-allow permission rule is saved, for keyboard and screen reader users
• [VSCode] Added a "Claude Code: Focus last message" command that moves keyboard focus to the newest message in the conversation, for keyboard and screen reader users
• [VSCode] Changed the Manage plugins dialog to apply installs, enables, disables and uninstalls to open sessions without a restart
• [VSCode] Changed some artifact permission prompts to omit the "don't ask again" choice, matching the terminal
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed cloud sessions running longer than about six hours silently losing files saved to persisted session folders; saves now persist for up to a day
• [Claude Code on the web] Fixed "Invalid effort level" errors when a routine resumes a session, or a session starts with no set effort, in orgs where an admin caps a model's effort
• [Claude Code on the web] Improved routine creation from a conversation: when the new routine has no connectors, Claude now says so and how to add them instead of only confirming it
• [Claude Tag] Fixed the admin settings page hanging on a loading skeleton or going blank after a transient load failure; a section that fails to load now shows a Retry button
• [Claude Tag] Added a link from a Slack channel's configure page back to the organization's Claude in Slack admin settings
• [Claude Tag] Fixed a Slack Enterprise Grid channel losing its Claude settings (repository, environment, access) after a Slack admin moved it to another workspace
• [Claude Tag] Improved how Claude explains a blocked action: it now says whether a permission check, its own decision to confirm first, or missing access stopped it
• [Claude Tag] Improved reply speed: Claude now runs several read-only lookups (searching Slack, reading a thread, finding people) at once instead of one after another
• [Claude Tag] Improved formatting of comparisons: sentence-length comparisons now come as lists instead of wide tables that scroll sideways, and long table cells wrap
• [Claude Tag] Fixed @Claude !restart in a thread with its own session sometimes also posting a contradictory "this thread is handled by the channel session" notice
• [Claude Tag] Improved the message shown when your Claude account is in a different organization than the Slack workspace: it now explains how to connect the workspace to your org
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Markdown links whose URL is wrapped in angle brackets showing as literal bracket text in Slack instead of a clickable link
• [Claude Tag] Fixed a workspace guest's top-level @mention in a channel where guests may use Claude sometimes getting a "your Slack account isn't connected" reply instead of an answer
• [Claude Tag] Fixed a channel's long-running session being replaced with a fresh one mid-conversation; the scheduled refresh now waits until the channel and its threads are quiet
• [Claude Tag] Fixed channel-settings cards clicked more than once telling the proposing session the change was refused after it had already applied; the outcome is now sent once
• [Claude Tag] Changed memory in public channels: each channel now keeps its own notes, and Claude no longer recalls notes it saved in other public channels; workspace notes stay shared
• [Code Review] Added a note under the still-open findings list in follow-up reviews: resolving a finding's thread, not just replying to it, stops later reviews from counting it as open
• [Code Review] Fixed reviews sometimes ending as incomplete when one of the agents verifying a finding failed midway; the review now replaces that agent and reaches a verdict
• [Code Review] Fixed a push-triggered review that was queued behind a running review still posting after the pull request had been converted to draft
• [Code Review] Fixed reviews ignoring a directory's CLAUDE.md conventions when the PR edited a root file (e.g. README.md) that only shares a name with a file that CLAUDE.md lists

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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 the prompt placeholder to read "Message @name…" while viewing a background subagent or fork transcript opened from the subagent panel or /tasks
• Improved sanitization of MCP server names in error messages, menus, and command results
• Improved Amazon Bedrock session start under CLAUDE_CODE_PROVIDER_MANAGED_BY_HOST (e.g. Claude Desktop): a session given a Bedrock model ID or ARN no longer waits for inference-profile discovery
• Improved the managed settings approval dialog to list only the settings that changed since you last approved them
• Improved retry when the model's tool call is malformed: the broken output is now dropped from the retry context, including on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry
• Changed /radio to be available on Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, and when telemetry is disabled
• Changed Claude in Chrome so browser actions always go through Claude Code's permission checks, including in sessions with telemetry disabled, which previously used the Chrome extension's own prompts
• Changed CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL to set the default subagent model rather than override everything: an agent definition's model: and an explicit per-spawn model now take precedence over it
• Changed the default commit trailer to Co-Authored-By: Claude Code when the active model isn't a recognized Claude model (e.g. third-party models behind a custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL)
• Changed the default model for seat-based Enterprise subscriptions to Opus 5, matching other premium plans
• Changed /effort to save your default effort level per model, so each model keeps its own setting when you switch
• Changed analytics to no longer turn off before sign-in solely because managed settings force gateway login (or cannot be read); they stay off once signed in to the gateway or via DISABLE_TELEMETRY
• Changed the footer PR badge on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, and when telemetry is off, to call the GitHub API directly (via gh auth token, GH_TOKEN, or GITHUB_TOKEN) instead of gh pr view

Added

• 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

• 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
• Fixed 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• [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

Added

• Added managedMcpServers managed setting: organizations can provide HTTP/SSE MCP servers to every user (same entry shape as .mcp.json); entries that name a command to run are skipped
• Added --permission-prompts none for unattended headless hosts: anything that would prompt is denied automatically while the active permission mode (including auto mode) keeps deciding
• Added recognition of glab mr create/merge/close/reopen/note/update so GitLab merge requests show as MR !N in the collapsed tool summary and refresh the footer MR badge
• Added --json to claude plugin validate for a machine-readable validation report

Fixed

• Fixed concurrent sessions silently reverting each other's ~/.claude.json changes — workspace trust no longer resets and MCP/project state is no longer lost when running many sessions at once
• Fixed a conversation whose thinking was rejected once being rejected again on every later turn
• Fixed Bash Read() deny rules not covering files given as option values (--ignore-revs-file=.env, -f.env, @file), git diff/git grep file operands, or cd DIR && cat FILE compounds; grep -r/cp -r over a directory holding a denied file now asks
• Fixed the prompt cache being invalidated when the OAuth token refreshed in sessions with telemetry disabled
• Fixed fullscreen mode showing a blank conversation after a long turn with hundreds of tool calls
• Fixed auto mode running a turn on a model it doesn't support when a command or skill's frontmatter model: named one; the turn now keeps the session model
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS being ignored for Vertex-style model IDs (@YYYYMMDD suffix) of model versions Claude Code doesn't recognize
• Fixed the live output preview of a running shell command hiding its newest lines when an earlier line wrapped
• Fixed a background GitHub connection check that ran on every launch for claude.ai users; the result is now remembered across launches
• Fixed --resume failing (and --continue opening an empty conversation) when a saved session contains an attachment entry with no payload
• Fixed frontmatter model: on custom commands and skills being ignored in interactive sessions
• Fixed Artifact publishing failing once with an "unexpected parameter note" error in conversations continued from an older version
• Fixed managed forceRemoteSettingsRefresh being ignored at startup when a policy helper configured by MDM or the managed settings file had already run
• Fixed worktree isolation refusing hook-created worktrees on machines where git rev-parse fails with a message other than "not a git repository"
• Fixed OpenTelemetry metrics and events from cloud sessions missing the user.email, organization.id, and user.account_uuid attributes
• Fixed MCP servers that disconnect while their tools are being listed at startup showing as connected with no tools instead of reporting the error
• Fixed the file edit permission dialog sometimes showing a changed line cut short with no indication
• Fixed repository detection dropping a known repo identity after a transient git probe failure
• Fixed managed settings silently going unenforced when the managed-settings file, a drop-in, the MDM plist, or the HKLM value cannot be parsed: Claude Code now refuses to start and names the source
• Fixed Stop not actually stopping background agents and workflows in remote-control sessions: killed tasks now stay visible and re-stoppable until their processes exit
• Fixed resuming a workflow run while its previous stopped run was still exiting, which could run duplicate copies of its agents
• Fixed marketplace repo URLs on github.com with a trailing slash or dangling ?/# producing an unusable .git clone URL
• Fixed blocking Stop hooks causing the turn after a block to lose the model's reasoning from that turn and, on some models, miss the prompt cache
• Fixed remote (claude.ai) sessions taking 60 seconds to start a turn after a browser-hosted MCP server's page had gone away
• Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing common Bash loops, xargs pipelines and launcher-wrapped commands that cannot reach the main checkout

Improved

• Improved terminal resize and first-render performance for long responses by reusing text measurements
• Improved /workflows agent detail: JSON outcomes are pretty-printed with syntax colors and real line breaks, and long outcomes fold behind an expand toggle
• Improved headless/SDK session start: the first turn begins up to 50 ms sooner when MCP servers finish connecting
• Improved /install-github-app to explain it is GitHub-only and point to the GitLab CI/CD docs when run inside a GitLab repository
• Improved nested background subagent results to be saved in the parent subagent's transcript, so resumed subagents keep them and shared transcripts show the delivery

Changed

• Changed allowedMcpServers to govern only servers users add: a literal managed-mcp.json server your allowlist used to filter out now loads on upgrade; use deniedMcpServers to keep it off

VSCode

• [VSCode] Added an Active quick filter and a status filter menu (Needs input, Working, Completed) to the session list sidebar

Fixed

• Fixed remote and scheduled sessions doing nothing after a connector-tool permission prompt was approved while the session was paused

• Added Claude Fable 5.1 (claude-fable-5-1), now the default Fable model — 1M context, $10/$50 per Mtok with $0.25/Mtok cache reads
• Added "Time format" (timeFormat) and timeZone settings: 12-hour, 24-hour, 24-hour UTC, or a strftime pattern for the turn-end clock and transcript-view timestamps
• Added a Containment Escape rule to auto mode so cloud metadata-credential fetches, egress evasion, and cross-tenant reach are no longer auto-approved unless your environment marks them expected
• Added CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL_FORCE to apply CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL (or the main model) to every subagent, ignoring per-spawn and agent-definition model overrides
• Added s in /effort to change effort for the current session only, matching /model
• Added a /doctor warning for stale sandbox mask files left by a killed session
• Added a one-time prompt in auto mode before the first file read outside the working directories, with the option to block such reads (permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories)
• Added support for a gateway-supplied description on discovered /model picker entries (CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY); entries without one still read "From gateway"
• Fixed settings in a .claude/ folder created after startup not being picked up until restart
• Fixed sessions dispatched from an agent view opened with ← always starting in the original session's permission mode, overriding the target directory's defaultMode and the agent's permissionMode
• Fixed keybindings.json rebinds of Ctrl+G being ignored in claude agents; its Ctrl+S / Ctrl+T are now rebindable via the new Agents context
• Fixed background sessions failing to start on macOS npm installs during a self-update, and on Windows when a stale daemon lock file pointed at a reused process id
• Fixed the working spinner stopping while a response streams behind a slash-command panel
• Fixed a background session's state.json detail repeating its own dispatch prompt after a scheduled wake-up
• Fixed claude agents keeping a background session you re-prompted buried in Completed after it finished again; Completed now orders by the latest finish
• Fixed claude --bg from a directory that was just deleted reporting "backgrounded" and leaving a crashed session row; it now prints the reason and exits 1
• Fixed Remote Control connecting mid-session re-sending the Bash tool definition, causing a prompt-cache miss
• Fixed a doubly-listed custom Authorization header overriding the configured credential on Bedrock, Mantle, Vertex, and WIF, and the Vertex setup wizard picking up a leftover Anthropic profile from ~/.config/anthropic
• Fixed Claude apps gateway sending stray host Authorization or profile headers to Foundry, Vertex, and Bedrock, and Foundry Entra ID upstreams not starting when ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY is set
• Fixed a leftover Anthropic API key or auth token being sent alongside your Foundry subscription key in API-key mode
• Fixed /schedule routines whose prompt was saved without a message role and then ran with nothing to do
• Fixed claude agents not saying that a background session is waiting for you to approve a message from another session, or who sent it
• Fixed a prompt stashed with Ctrl+S inside an opened background session being lost when the session went idle or was stopped and then reopened
• Fixed telemetry (OTEL) settings pushed through server-managed settings being ignored on warm starts, including desktop-app Code sessions
• Fixed a teammate permission request being answered twice when the leader's mailbox write was briefly locked
• Fixed a phantom duplicate slash-command row rendering below the in-flight turn while a command's auto-continued response streamed
• Fixed policyHelper timeoutMs and refreshIntervalMs values above the timer maximum (2147483647) causing failures or re-runs every millisecond; they are now clamped
• Fixed the token counter freezing or crawling after switching to another subagent's transcript, and made background subagents' and teammates' counters update live while a response streams
• Fixed sandbox network hosts written with a trailing dot (example.com.): a deniedDomains entry didn't block the host inside the sandbox, and "don't ask again" for such a host kept prompting
• Fixed dismissing the Remote Control consent prompt (Esc, or n at claude remote-control) counting as consent, so the next request connected without asking
• Fixed /mcp reconnect and enable still connecting a settings-file MCP server that a managed MCP allow/deny list or strictPluginOnlyCustomization loaded after startup should block
• Fixed claude mcp remove leaving a remote server's stored OAuth credentials behind when strictPluginOnlyCustomization locks MCP to plugin-only servers
• Fixed Remote Control (claude remote-control) sessions started from the Claude app ignoring the selected model and running on the machine's default instead
• Fixed --disallowedTools and session deny rules being dropped after the first settings reload when allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly is enabled
• Fixed --resume listing a backgrounded conversation twice and --continue reopening its stalled pre-background copy; --continue now also opens finished background sessions
• Fixed fullscreen mode not letting you click ! shell command output to expand it
• Fixed background sessions left running an older Claude Code binary piling up across auto-updates instead of being retired
• Fixed claude agents --json briefly switching the terminal to raw mode and undoing another program's terminal settings on exit
• Fixed Proactive output style sessions busy-looping with filler messages and repeated log reads instead of idling while a background command or Monitor they started is still running
• Fixed subagents stopping when a response was cut off mid-stream by a computer sleep, dropped connection, or server error; they now automatically continue instead of ending with an incomplete response
• Fixed ← doing nothing in the /btw panel inside a claude agents session: it now returns to the agents list (even mid-answer), and the panel comes back when you reopen the session
• Fixed sessions with an advisor model set missing the prompt cache on background requests (compaction, /recap, prompt suggestions) and re-sending the full conversation uncached each time
• Fixed claude -p exiting about 5 seconds after its final result while a Monitor the model armed was still running; it now waits for the watch to fire or time out
• Fixed a permissions.ask rule being skipped in auto mode when the matching command ran inside a compound command or subshell, letting it run without the confirmation prompt
• Fixed plugins being able to read files outside their own directory through a declared command, agent, skill, hooks or other component path that is a symlink; such paths are now refused with an error
• Fixed /add-dir rejecting a directory inside the current working directory; it now loads that directory's skills, commands, and agents like --add-dir does at startup
• Fixed the main agent not being told when you resume a subagent you had stopped from its transcript view
• Fixed a crash when pasting ANSI-colored text (e.g. a CI log) into dialogs like /feedback
• Fixed claude mcp add/remove hanging or exhausting memory when the project's .mcp.json is a FIFO or a device-file symlink; it now fails fast with an actionable message
• Fixed unbounded memory growth when non-JSONL data is piped into claude -p --input-format stream-json; it now fails fast with a clear error
• Fixed backgrounding a turn (← or Ctrl+B) while a subagent or other tool was running occasionally making the background session treat that tool as rejected instead of re-running it
• Fixed Bash Read()/Edit() deny rules not applying to < file redirects and reader commands like tac and egrep; a deny rule on any argument or redirect target now refuses the command
• Fixed resuming or messaging a subagent whose transcript had grown past 5 MB (for example after reading many images) failing with "No transcript found"
• Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing Bash loops, $VAR reads, "$(…)" and heredocs that never touch git as "too complex to verify that it stays inside the worktree"
• Fixed /model and /effort showing a prompt-cache warning after rewinding a conversation back to empty
• Fixed prompt-cache misses on every turn in long screenshot-heavy sessions once images exceeded the per-request size cap
• Fixed the Edit permission prompt's diff view rendering emoji and multi-code-point characters with incorrect widths
• Fixed WebSocket MCP server connection failures being logged as "[object ErrorEvent]" instead of the underlying error
• Fixed background sessions failing to open with "Couldn't start the background service" while another Claude Code process was downloading an npm update; the start now waits for it

• Fixed Claude not being told when you stop a background command from the tasks panel or a connected client
• Fixed stopping a background subagent leaving its monitors running
• Fixed sandboxed git commands in a linked worktree losing write access to the repository's common .git directory after cd into a subdirectory
• Fixed Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle requests going silent during long hidden-thinking phases on Opus 4.7 and later, which let idle timeouts cut the connection; the stream now carries progress events
• Fixed launching Claude Code after a Claude apps gateway expired or revoked your session: it now says the session ended and offers /login instead of reporting a network error
• Fixed cloud sessions losing git/GitHub credentials for the rest of the session when the session's network proxy failed to start at launch; it now retries in the background and recovers
• Fixed leftover cc-daemon-* folders in the system temp directory after an interrupted background daemon start; the cleanupPeriodDays retention sweep now removes them
• Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving certain [[ ]] conditionals that zsh parses differently from bash; these commands now prompt for approval
• Fixed the managed-settings approval prompt showing the generic warning instead of its telemetry wording when the settings also turn detailed tracing or raw API body logging off, or trace export on
• Fixed agent-team teammates in tmux/iTerm2 panes sometimes staying open after acknowledging a shutdown request
• Fixed the keyless Console sign-in ("Sign in with your Console account") not applying your organization's server-managed settings, and /status not showing the Organization for that sign-in
• Improved rendering performance: less re-render work per turn in long conversations, streaming no longer slows down as the reply grows, and background-agent updates no longer re-render the whole screen
• Improved prompt input responsiveness by reducing per-keystroke rendering work
• Improved policy helper diagnostics — refresh failures now show in /status, declining the managed-settings dialog prints why Claude Code exited, and helper timeouts are reported as timeouts
• Improved /code-review --comment to post findings on GitLab merge requests via glab mr note instead of reporting the target as unsupported
• Improved notifications: an MCP elicitation or permission ask queued under another dialog now sends its idle desktop notification at the same delay as a visible ask
• Improved verbose/transcript output: async hook completion notices that arrive together now appear on one line instead of one line per hook
• Improved the embedded grep in native macOS/Linux builds: pathological patterns now fail fast instead of exhausting memory, and -m N with -A/-C prints correct context
• Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to /config to re-enable it
• Improved /loop: consecutive wake-ups where Claude has nothing to do now fold into a single line in the terminal instead of printing each one
• Changed the sandboxed Bash tool prompt to no longer list allowed network hosts, so Claude attempts requests (and you can approve new hosts) instead of assuming unlisted hosts are blocked
• Updated the /model picker and the bundled claude-api skill to show Sonnet 5's $2/$10 per Mtok pricing as its standard list price rather than a limited-time promo
• Changed computer use on macOS so clicking the desktop, Dock, or a Finder window requires granting Finder via the access dialog, like any other app
• Changed /model, /fast, and /effort to also run immediately instead of queueing until the turn ends on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry and when telemetry is disabled
• Fixed claude remote-control exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
• Fixed Remote Control sessions served by claude remote-control sometimes getting stuck after it was stopped and restarted, for Team and Enterprise members without an admin or owner role
• Changed the cross-session messaging inbox socket to close connections that send no complete line within 30 seconds; scripts posting to it should connect once their data is ready
• Improved the notice when resuming a conversation whose Remote Control is held by another terminal: it now says sessions on other machines can't be seen from, or reach, this one
• [VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
• [VSCode] Improved attribution of the extension's own usage telemetry to your organization when you are signed in with a Claude account, so its data-handling settings apply

• Fixed Bash commands failing with "task output swap refused (tasks dir moved or linked)" on some Macs
• Fixed "always allow" not saving in a project that has no .claude/settings.local.json yet
• Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by Claude Desktop or VS Code stalling for minutes after a tool finished when the connection to claude.ai was degraded
• Fixed background task notifications with very large failure output (for example git errors on a full disk) making the conversation exceed the API request size limit

• Added PreModelSwitch and PostModelSwitch hook events (block, confirm, or annotate a model switch); SessionStart resume hooks now receive session staleness and the estimated re-cache cost
• Added live streaming of a foreground subagent's tool calls and results to Remote Control clients (background subagents, the default, still show status only)
• Added a Spend limit bar to /usage and a rate_limits.spend_limit status line field for developers behind a Claude apps gateway with spend limits
• Added a per-session prompt-cache line to /cost (hit ratio, misses, tokens re-cached, warm/cold) and a matching prompt_cache object for status line scripts
• Added attach, logs, stop, respawn, and rm to claude --help; the --resume message for a running background session now names the exact claude attach <id> command
• Fixed file tools (Read, Write, Edit) following a symlink swapped inside the working directory after the permission check, which could read or write outside the approved location
• Fixed plugin commands declared in a marketplace entry being able to point outside the plugin directory; such paths are now rejected with a path-traversal error
• Fixed project settings being able to enable detailed beta tracing or raw API body logging, and a lower-scope beta tracing endpoint bypassing an OTLP collector pinned by managed settings or a host app
• Fixed the Workflow tool reading (and quoting in errors) a scriptPath outside what the session may read before the permission check ran
• Fixed Grep and Glob not applying Read(...) deny rules to files reached through a symlinked search path
• Fixed conversations getting stuck on "text content blocks must be non-empty" errors after a turn where the model produced only thinking
• Fixed the first launch on a fresh install starting in default mode instead of auto mode for accounts whose startup default is auto mode
• Fixed Opus 5 requests failing with "effort … is not supported when thinking is disabled" when effort was xhigh/max and thinking was turned off; effort is now sent as high in that case
• Fixed replying to a message Claude Desktop delivered from another session: SendMessage to that session id now delivers through Claude Desktop instead of failing with "not reachable"
• Fixed TUI lag with many parallel subagents: per-second progress ticks now replace their predecessor instead of piling up in the transcript
• Fixed agent teams: a teammate's final answer not reaching the team lead — it now arrives in the idle notification instead of a content-free "available" notice
• Fixed background subagents being unable to reply to a message from an unnamed sibling or parent agent (from was the agent type, which is not an address)
• Fixed managed-settings disableAutoMode arriving mid-session not moving an already-running auto-mode session back to default mode
• Fixed a "switch to Opus 1M for 5x more context" tip that appeared even when the current Opus model already has a 1M context window
• Fixed Claude apps gateway sessions treating a stored Anthropic profile (e.g. a Console sign-in) as active: listing it in /status and retrying gateway 401s with it, though requests never use it
• Fixed cloud sessions telling Claude the model had changed when the host was only setting the session's initial model
• Fixed Remote Control reporting a failure when an organization's policy disables it; it now shows a single quiet notice instead
• Fixed /mcp reconnect on Remote Control showing a generic withheld-detail error instead of the real remedy when a server was disabled in another session
• Fixed --input-format stream-json: client-injected assistant tool calls sent without a message id were merged into the first one and their results lost, including when resuming older sessions
• Fixed session transcripts being silently overwritten when a directory change relocated a session onto an existing same-ID transcript
• Fixed background sessions and their subagents being unable to edit files inside a git worktree they created with git worktree add
• Fixed background sessions occasionally starting without any plugin skills (and staying that way) when another Claude Code process was refreshing the plugin marketplace at the same moment
• Fixed selecting text in an opened background session inside tmux over SSH: it now copies to the tmux buffer like a foreground session instead of falling back to OSC 52
• Fixed SDK and cloud sessions hanging indefinitely when an SDK MCP server's handshake acknowledgment was lost; the wait now times out after 70 seconds and marks only that server failed
• Fixed self-hosted runner leaving a stuck session's Bash tool processes running after the session was force-stopped
• Fixed /usage-credits for Team and Enterprise members whose admin set the org's usage-credit limit to $0: it now offers to ask the admin instead of saying a cap was reached
• Fixed --worktree --tmux with a merge-request number on a gitlab.com origin trying a doomed GitHub-style fetch first instead of fetching the GitLab ref directly
• Fixed Ctrl+G failing with "Emacs quit unexpectedly" in background sessions for editors that open /dev/tty, such as emacs -nw and micro
• Fixed an additionalDirectories entry containing a null byte crashing startup, or breaking /add-dir and later settings updates when it came from an SDK host, IDE, or hook; it is now skipped
• Fixed the MCP server menu's copy shortcut: it now says how the sign-in URL was copied instead of always claiming success
• Fixed italic text (such as the session recap line) rendering as highlighted blocks in GNU screen and in tmux sessions using a screen terminal type
• Fixed claude mcp add --header and claude mcp add-json help text naming the wrong transports
• Fixed claude ultrareview and /ultrareview waiting the full 30 minutes when the cloud session fails to start; they now stop early and report the reason
• Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving commands that assign an arithmetic expression to an integer shell variable (e.g. OPTIND=1/0, RANDOM=2+2); these now prompt for approval
• Fixed backgrounding a turn (←, /background, --bg) while a subagent or other tool was running occasionally making the background session treat that tool as rejected instead of re-running it
• Fixed Bash Read()/Edit() deny rules not applying to < file redirects and reader commands like tac and egrep; a deny rule on any argument or redirect target now refuses the command
• Fixed resuming or messaging a subagent whose transcript had grown past 5 MB (for example after reading many images) failing with "No transcript found"
• Fixed worktree-isolated sessions refusing Bash loops, $VAR reads, "$(…)" and heredocs that never touch git as "too complex to verify that it stays inside the worktree"

• Improved verbose/transcript output: async hook completion notices that arrive together now appear on one line instead of one line per hook
• Improved the embedded grep in native macOS/Linux builds: pathological patterns now fail fast instead of exhausting memory, and -m N with -A/-C prints correct context

• Changed /model, /fast, and /effort to also run immediately instead of queueing until the turn ends on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry and when telemetry is disabled
• Fixed claude remote-control exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
• Fixed Remote Control sessions served by claude remote-control sometimes getting stuck after it was stopped and restarted, for Team and Enterprise members without an admin or owner role

• Improved the notice when resuming a conversation whose Remote Control is held by another terminal: it now says sessions on other machines can't be seen from, or reach, this one
• [VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
• [VSCode] Improved attribution of the extension's own usage telemetry to your organization when you are signed in with a Claude account, so its data-handling settings apply

• Added --restricted (or CLAUDE_CODE_RESTRICTED=1): removes the built-in tools that run commands or code and WebFetch (unless named in --tools), keeps file tools inside the working directory, refuses bypassPermissions, and ignores user, project and local settings files

• Added experimental.cacheTtl ("5m" or "1h") to agent frontmatter: a per-agent prompt cache TTL used when no subagent TTL setting is configured

• Added claude self-hosted-runner --client-label <label> (or SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_CLIENT_LABEL) to override the label the runner registers with (default: hostname)

• Added server-managed settings diagnostics: a startup warning when the settings fail to load, and a /doctor and /status line explaining a load failure or why they weren't fetched (Bedrock/Vertex/third-party provider, custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL)

• Added a warning in /web-setup when the GitHub CLI token lacks the workflow scope, since pushes to very large repositories can be rejected without it

• Added /usage-credits for Enterprise organizations billed through AWS Marketplace, self-serve Enterprise, and Enterprise trials, so members can request a higher usage limit from their admin

• Added cross-session messaging (SendMessage / ListAgents) between sessions on the same machine on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry, and when telemetry is disabled

• Fixed a prompt-cache miss (and lost extended-thinking context) roughly once an hour in long sessions, caused by tool definitions being re-rendered after an OAuth token refresh

• Fixed the ScheduleWakeup tool definition changing between a session and its --resume when the account had entered usage overage, causing a full prompt-cache miss on the resumed session's first turn

• Fixed Claude Desktop and Cowork sessions disappearing after 30 days: the transcript cleanup now keeps desktop-written sessions while they are in the app (unless org policy manages retention); the new desktopSessionCleanupPeriodDays setting caps the exemption

• Fixed being sent to the login screen when another Claude Code process held the token refresh lock while the session token had expired; the request now fails with a retryable error instead

• Windows: Fixed the claude agents list not responding to the keyboard after detaching from a session, or when launched in a terminal tab left in win32-input-mode

• Fixed the recommended Console sign-in in /login failing with an OAuth error before showing a sign-in URL on machines where it can't be used (for example when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or an API key helper is set); it now falls back to the API-key sign-in

• Fixed model names in /model and fast-mode switch notices to render as code, so suffixes like [1m] display literally instead of as a link

• Fixed claude agents skipping the workspace trust prompt when the CI environment variable is set

• Fixed claude agents crashing on launch when the PR-status cache held a malformed entry

• Fixed agent view resurrecting a weeks-old background session after the machine was off: such a session now shows as stopped at its real end, and opening it asks before resuming its saved conversation

• Fixed agent view sometimes opening an older conversation, and dropping the typed prompt, when starting a new session

• Fixed claude agents: opening a stopped session that you already resumed in another terminal no longer starts a second process on that conversation; the row now says it is open in a terminal

• Fixed claude agents and claude rm refusing to delete a session ("has commits that are not pushed anywhere") when its worktree branch was already merged into your checked-out default branch (e.g. local main) but not yet pushed

• Fixed background sessions waiting silently when a PermissionRequest or PreToolUse hook prints an invalid answer: the claude agents row now names the hook and the schema error

• Fixed hooks silently treating a stdout {…} object that isn't valid JSON as plain text; it's now reported as a hook error with the parse message

• Fixed /mcp listing a project .mcp.json entry that declares the claude.ai connector type under the trusted "claude.ai" heading; it now appears under its real scope

• Fixed MCP servers whose headersHelper supplies the Authorization header falling into OAuth discovery on a 401 instead of re-running the helper and retrying the call as documented

• Fixed /login to a Claude apps gateway hanging when the managed-settings security approval dialog was required

• Fixed gateway model discovery (CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY) never running when apiKeyHelper is the only credential

• Fixed claude logs leaving mouse tracking, bracketed paste and the alternate screen switched on in the terminal it was run from

• Fixed the trust dialog's list of repo permission rules showing a garbled character when a long rule was cut off in the middle of an emoji

• Fixed the permission mode indicator staying hidden behind the "Press Ctrl-C again to exit" hint when you press shift+tab right after ctrl+c

• Fixed /ultrareview and locally seeded cloud sessions uploading uncommitted edits to prod.env-style and *.tfvars files, or to editor swap, temp, and backup copies of credential files (e.g. key.pem.tmp, id_rsa.swo); they now stay on your machine

• Fixed Remote Control sessions occasionally never showing a permission prompt or the latest messages on the connected device after the CLI silently reconnected

• Fixed cloud sessions occasionally failing at startup when the container's session credentials were not yet readable

• Fixed claude remote-control rejecting its own flags (e.g. --spawn, --name) when a global flag or a wrapper-injected option precedes the subcommand

• Fixed startup warnings (e.g. "N MCP servers need authentication") rendering one column right of the rest of the transcript

• Fixed a backgrounded worktree session losing its checkout: the background session now holds the worktree's lock while it runs, so cleanup and git worktree remove leave it alone

• Fixed @-mentions of other sessions not matching names typed with non-Latin characters (for example Korean entered through an IME)

• Fixed an invalid crossSessionInbound value being silently ignored: it now warns and holds cross-session messages (user settings) or refuses them (managed settings) until fixed

• Fixed rate-limit, usage, and fast-mode messages telling you to run /usage-credits when that command isn't available for your organization (e.g. hidden with DISABLE_EXTRA_USAGE_COMMAND)

• [VSCode] Fixed a chat tab getting stuck on "No conversation found" when its session was never saved; it now starts a new conversation instead

• Improved the Workflow tool's prompt footprint: its description is now about 1k tokens instead of 5.7k, with the script-writing reference moved into a bundled workflow-authoring skill

• Improved the prompt-footer PR badge to check GitHub less often while the pull request is unchanged; a push or a gh pr command still refreshes it right away

• Improved managed settings: client-side timeout, MCP startup-mode, and stream-watchdog env vars no longer trigger the settings-approval prompt

• Improved /ultrareview <PR#> to check before launch that the GitHub account connected to your Claude account can access the repository, and to explain how to fix it, instead of failing after the cloud session starts

• Improved cross-session messaging: falls back to a private per-user /tmp directory when the default one can't be used, and the notice and /status name the directory to fix

• Changed shift+enter in the agent view dispatch input to insert a newline (matching the prompt); ctrl+enter now dispatches and attaches

• Changed /loop: self-paced dynamic mode and the no-prompt autonomous default are now always available, including on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry

• Changed Anthropic telemetry export failures to log at debug level as [Anthropic telemetry] instead of [3P telemetry] OTEL diag error, so they are not mistaken for your OTel collector failing

• Changed cross-session messaging in Linux user namespaces: root-equivalent trust for unmapped owners is limited to canonical system directories

• Changed SendMessage from a subagent to another session: the result now notes that any reply is delivered to the parent session's conversation, not to the subagent

• Added the SendFeedback tool: when something goes wrong in a session, Claude can draft a feedback report for you to review and send from /feedback (turn off with the feedbackDrafts setting)
• Added {id, text, cooldownSessions, priority} entries, tipsFile, and label to spinnerTipsOverride, so organizations can rotate their own tips alongside the built-in ones
• Added a tip on Bash permission prompts pointing to auto mode, with a one-keystroke "Yes, and switch to auto mode" option
• Added /claude-api cost-optimize to profile an existing project's Claude API spend and work through cost levers (caching, token hygiene, batch, effort, model choice) one measured change at a time
• Updated the /claude-api skill with Admin API coverage (organization members, invites, workspaces, API keys, rate limit reports, workload identity federation, CMEK)
• Fixed fast arrow-key + Enter sequences acting on the row above the one you navigated to in history search, /config, /mcp, /skills, background tasks, and /model
• Fixed sub-agents dying on a first-call model 404: they now use the session's fallback model chain, and the error returned to the parent includes the error type, status, request id, and model
• Fixed a hook or background agent that printed megabytes of error output being able to overflow the conversation and wedge the session on "Prompt is too long"
• Fixed Ctrl keyboard shortcuts not firing under non-Latin (e.g. Cyrillic) keyboard layouts in kitty-protocol terminals
• Fixed text like <35;150;7M being inserted into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across reads right after the escape prefix
• Fixed the Bash sandbox's after-command cleanup deleting a dotfile-managed ~/.claude/settings.json symlink (nix/home-manager, stow) when it is repointed outside the sandbox's writable area
• Fixed /terminal-setup overwriting your entire Zed keymap.json instead of merging in its keybinding
• Fixed /rename silently confirming when the session registry could not be updated; it now says other sessions may still show the old name
• Fixed /compact and "Summarize from here" in sessions started with --agent summarizing under the default system prompt instead of the conversation's own
• Fixed a background session showing "opening…" forever in claude agents after its worker was still booting (common on Windows) stopping it with "was stopped while the respawn was in flight"
• Fixed unbounded memory growth when a hook's or background task's output file could not be written; the file now notes where output was lost
• Fixed /install-github-app over SSH: the copy shortcut now says how the sign-in URL was copied instead of always claiming success, and the URL appears immediately when no browser can open
• Fixed shell commands carried over from the foreground logging an internal error or showing a misleading [exited with code -1] line when they finish in background sessions
• Fixed queued messages reappearing in the prompt history while still queued, Esc while selecting a queued message no longer interrupts the turn, and ! mode no longer sticks after a mid-turn submit
• Fixed accepting the "Try the new fullscreen renderer?" prompt restarting the session without its permission mode (e.g. --dangerously-skip-permissions), tool allow/deny rules, model or effort flags
• Fixed /tui dropping launch --allowed-tools/--disallowed-tools rules when it restarts; it now declines to switch, with the reason, when the session has restrictions a restart can't carry over
• Fixed trust prompts omitting the repository-wide scope warning when the directory was first seen before the repository existed there
• Fixed agents, skills, and commands whose .md file starts with a UTF-8 BOM being silently ignored
• Fixed /insights echoing literal <message> tags in its response on some models
• Fixed marketplace metadata.pluginRoot having no effect: bare plugin source names now resolve under it as the docs describe
• Fixed mouse movement in browser-based terminals inserting text like "35;150;7M" into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across writes
• Fixed custom theme diff colors (diffAdded/diffRemoved and their dimmed variants) being ignored in diffs and the /theme preview
• Fixed a keybindings.json binding with an unknown action name silently deadening that key; it is now skipped so the default binding keeps working, and a warning is logged under --debug
• Fixed the Agent tool advertising a general-purpose default in sessions where that agent is unavailable: an omitted subagent_type there now gets a clear error listing the available agents
• Fixed notebook cell delete/replace approval dialogs silently omitting the existing cell content when the notebook or cell could not be read; the dialog now says why
• Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing HTML entities instead of the actual characters
• Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
• Fixed the expanded task list (ctrl+t) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching into a session that still has open tasks
• Improved memory and CPU usage while cloud sessions such as /ultrareview or /autofix-pr run in the background — their event streams are no longer re-scanned and re-rendered on every update
• Improved permission dialogs: display text and "don't ask again" options now always match what a grant would cover, and "don't ask again" is withheld when contents cannot be fully displayed
• Improved the embedded grep in native macOS/Linux builds: pathological patterns now fail fast instead of exhausting memory, and -m N with -A/-C prints correct context
• Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to /config to re-enable it
• Improved /loop: consecutive wake-ups where Claude has nothing to do now fold into a single line in the terminal instead of printing each one
• Changed the sandboxed Bash tool prompt to no longer list allowed network hosts, so Claude attempts requests (and you can approve new hosts) instead of assuming unlisted hosts are blocked
• Updated the /model picker and the bundled claude-api skill to show Sonnet 5's $2/$10 per Mtok pricing as its standard list price rather than a limited-time promo
• Changed computer use on macOS so clicking the desktop, Dock, or a Finder window requires granting Finder via the access dialog, like any other app
• Changed /model, /fast, and /effort to also run immediately instead of queueing until the turn ends on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry and when telemetry is disabled
• Fixed claude remote-control exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
• Fixed Remote Control sessions served by claude remote-control sometimes getting stuck after it was stopped and restarted, for Team and Enterprise members without an admin or owner role
• Changed the cross-session messaging inbox socket to close connections that send no complete line within 30 seconds; scripts posting to it should connect once their data is ready
• Improved the notice when resuming a conversation whose Remote Control is held by another terminal: it now says sessions on other machines can't be seen from, or reach, this one
• [VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
• [VSCode] Improved attribution of the extension's own usage telemetry to your organization when you are signed in with a Claude account, so its data-handling settings apply
