Claude Code by Anthropic

2.1.302

Claude Code adds client-side auto mode model selection and idle compaction controls, speeds startup with many plugins, and improves auto mode. The release also delivers broad reliability fixes across cloud sessions, VS Code, Slack, plugins, MCP, and other workflows.
Added CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_MODEL to choose the model the client-side auto mode classifier uses; it does not change the model for server-side auto mode

Added an Idle compaction row to /config for turning idle compaction off or back on; the notices shown after an idle compaction now say how to turn it off

Added a notice to /design-sync and /design-login that standalone Claude Design (claude.ai/design) closes by December 14, 2026

Fixed a "Prompt is too long" error when stopping a turn while the conversation was being compacted

Fixed requests failing with "diagnostics: Extra inputs are not permitted" after switching to Vertex or Bedrock mid-session

Fixed the Read tool loading an image file of any size, or a pipe or device named like an image, entirely into memory; image sources over 128 MB are now refused

Fixed /autocompact and /effort saving to the wrong model when a gateway names Opus 4 or 4.1 with a prefix, such as anthropic/claude-opus-4-1

Fixed a prompt cache miss when a tool added mid-session was loaded again through ToolSearch or after compaction

Fixed claude plugin and other subcommands sometimes exiting before a queued settings or config write finished, which could lose the change or leave a .tmp file behind

Fixed plugin marketplaces re-cloning on every refresh, and newly installed git plugins showing version "unknown", when git defaults to the reftable ref format

Fixed the PowerShell tool not finding commands in a plugin's bin/ folder, and reporting an error when a search that finds nothing (rg, grep, findstr, git grep) is piped into Select-Object or another formatting cmdlet

Fixed Claude in the desktop app pointing you to claude.ai settings or /mcp to authorize or reconnect an MCP server where that option isn't available

Fixed artifact publishes sometimes failing when Claude sent an empty list of edits, and Claude retrying an artifact update the wrong way after a newer version of the artifact turned it away

Fixed classifier_category missing from OpenTelemetry tool_decision events for most auto mode classifier blocks, and new tool_decision attributes pushing out tool_use_id, tool_source and tool_parameters when OTEL_LOGRECORD_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT is low

Fixed rows in the agents view staying blank after moving down a long list or folding a section

Fixed claude remote-control --help not printing its usage and exiting when not signed in

Fixed /design consent and /design revoke suggesting /design-login when they fail in a cloud session, where it isn't available; the message now points to claude.ai/design/settings

Fixed MCP servers showing no tools, or every tool call failing, when the server negotiates protocol version 2026-07-28 but omits resultType, ttlMs or cacheScope

Fixed prompt suggestions spending usage credits on models your plan pays for only with credits: they are now skipped after a reply billed to credits

Fixed URLs written in backticks being clickable only on their first row when they wrap; the whole URL is now one link in terminals that support hyperlinks

Fixed claude plugin details <name>@builtin suggesting claude plugin list, which never shows built-in plugins, when the plugin isn't found; it now points to /plugin

Fixed an emoji that a link starts inside wrapping one column too wide, which hid it in question previews and turned tables into lists

Fixed worktree isolation refusing to create or resume worktrees under git 2.56 or later when a stray .git file points at a directory that doesn't exist

Fixed a cloud session's cost and usage restarting from zero after the session resumed in a new process

Self-hosted runner: Fixed git fetches failing with "bad object refs/heads" in sessions that reuse a checkout stored in git's reftable format

Windows: Fixed every file write being refused or asked about for projects on exFAT or FAT32 drives, including in sessions started with --plugin-dir

Improved startup time with many plugins enabled: plugin command and agent files now take far fewer file system calls to load, most of all on Windows

Improved auto mode with the server-side classifier: a conversation too long for the safety check is now compacted, instead of every checked tool call being denied

Improved the message when a background session reopened from another folder has no LLM gateway: it now says why, instead of "Not logged in"

Changed claude -p and Agent SDK sessions with no permission mode to start in default mode on third-party providers, with telemetry off or on a fresh install; --permission-mode auto keeps auto

Changed fork subagents (subagent_type: "fork") to be on by default in claude -p, the Agent SDK, the desktop app and VS Code, as they already are in the terminal; CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=0 turns them off, and claude mcp serve never offers them

Changed the desktop app and VS Code to always run the main conversation's subagents in the background, as the terminal does, rather than let Claude choose; a subagent's own Agent calls in claude -p, the Agent SDK, the desktop app and VS Code now run in the foreground by default

Changed the ← for agents footer hint to hide 10 seconds after a session opens; the count of agents waiting on you still shows

Changed where the Claude in Chrome instructions sit in the system prompt so that new conversations can read them from the shared prompt cache

Changed prompt and agent hooks so that at most 12 of one event run at a time; the rest wait their turn

Changed the message shown when your organization's policy turns off /feedback: it now points to GitHub issues instead of an organization admin

[VSCode] Fixed text after an unclosed code block in a list showing as plain text while a reply streams, then turning into code

[VSCode] Fixed MCP server sign-in from the panel opening a broken authorization page when the server URL contains a query string

[VSCode] Fixed the @browser banner saying "Browser connected" when no browser with the Claude extension can be reached

[Cloud sessions] Added a banner on a routine's page that says why its last run didn't start, such as your organization reaching its limit on concurrent cloud sessions

[Cloud sessions] Fixed "Rewind to here" failing on every message except the newest in cloud sessions; self-hosted runners need Claude Code v2.1.246 or later

[Cloud sessions] Fixed the pull request status bar in cloud sessions flipping a pull request with merge conflicts back to ready while GitHub rechecked it

[Cloud sessions] Fixed routine runs showing as Completed after their cloud session stopped unexpectedly, and as Cancelled when archived before they started, instead of failed

[Cloud sessions] Fixed the diff view in cloud sessions missing changes or failing to load after the session's GitHub repository was renamed or moved

[Cloud sessions] Fixed a scheduled routine run that failed partway being run again from the start an hour or more later, which could repeat work such as posting the same report twice

[Cloud sessions] Fixed an open cloud session sometimes not showing messages sent from another device until you reloaded the page or clicked away and back

[Cloud sessions] Improved the error shown when a cloud session fails to start: it now says "Connection lost" or "Server error" instead of "Something went wrong"

[Remote Control] Fixed a subagent's pane spinning forever in a Remote Control session after your computer goes offline; it now says Remote Control is disconnected

[Claude Tag] Fixed "is thinking…" staying up under a mention in a Slack channel or DM after Claude answered it by editing one of its earlier messages

[Claude Tag] Fixed URLs in code blocks under a numbered or bulleted step of Claude's Slack replies being wrapped in angle brackets, which broke copied commands

[Claude Tag] Fixed HEIC, SVG, TIFF and BMP images attached in Slack never reaching Claude; they now arrive as files in its working files, like other file types

[Claude Tag] Fixed new channel managers losing access to Claude in Slack in organizations that restrict Claude Tag by role; the manager role now also grants Claude Tag in Slack

[Claude Tag] Fixed custom connectors whose MCP servers share one host showing as a single connector in Claude Tag admin settings; each server is now its own connector

[Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack sometimes answering a direct message with "DMs are temporarily unavailable" and dropping it when a single Slack lookup stalled; it now retries first

[Claude Tag] Fixed direct messages with Claude on a Slack Enterprise Grid ignoring Slack's workspace dropdown; they now run under the connected workspace you last opened Claude in

[Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack's notice for a channel's monthly spend limit saying a channel manager can raise it; it now names an organization owner and links the usage page

[Claude Tag] Fixed links in Claude's Slack replies absorbing the closing bold or italic marks, or full-width punctuation, right after them, which broke the link and the formatting

[Claude Tag] Improved repository search in Claude Tag admin settings to cover up to 100 connected GitHub accounts and find private repositories past the first 5,000 of a GitHub App install

[Claude Tag] Improved Add place in Claude Tag admin settings to list a channel you type or paste right away, instead of only after your organization's full channel list has loaded

[Claude Tag] Improved Add > Domain on a workspace's or channel's page in Claude Tag admin settings to be available once that page loads, not only after every channel has loaded

[Claude Tag] Changed Claude Tag admin settings to organize Claude's access into four tabs: Bundles, Connectors, Skills and plugins, and Channels

[Claude Tag] Changed the Roles page in organization settings to group the roles created for Claude Tag channel managers in a collapsed section below your organization's own roles

[Code Review] Fixed Code Review setup not resuming after you leave to connect GitHub; back in admin settings, it now reopens at the repository picker

Factory AI

CLI v0.244.0, Desktop v0.201.0: Offline session archiving, session arrangement tiles, signed macOS download, and CLI and app fixes

Factory AI releases session arrangement tiles with resizable slots, and improves the welcome screen, update progress, and handling of tools that load late. The update also fixes offline session archiving, signed macOS downloads, review workflows, Markdown tables, interrupted-tool replies, and spec comments.
New features

Session arrangement tiles - New sessions now open in an empty arrangement slot, and you can drag dividers to resize tiles

Improvements

Welcome screen title - The welcome screen now leads with its title instead of a decorative label above it

Update download progress - Running an update now shows how much of the download has finished

Late connector tools - A turn that began before your connector or MCP tools finished loading now continues once they are ready

Bug fixes

Archiving offline sessions - Archiving a session on a disconnected machine now succeeds right away, and that machine catches up when it reconnects

Signed macOS download - The macOS desktop app download is now signed and served from a stable link

Organization-required review workflows - A required review workflow whose rule names a branch now runs Droid instead of being refused

Markdown table columns - Narrow columns in a markdown table now keep their words whole when the table shrinks

Plan status replies - Droid no longer shows a plan status line in the transcript when no work is left

Replies after interrupted tools - A message sent right after you interrupt a tool now gets an answer instead of another tool call

Spec comment box - Starting a comment on a long spec now keeps the spec and the comment box in view

Devin

October 16, 2026

Devin expands collaboration and developer workflows with editable queued messages, richer chat and review tools, broader repository support, and new controls for Teams, MCPs, Google Calendar and enterprise sign-in.

Multiple Side Chats from One Message

A message that already has a side chat can start another: its side-chat button opens a menu of the message’s threads with a “New side chat” option.

Command Palette Finds Archived Sessions

Cmd+K session search now includes archived sessions, marked with an icon.

Queued Messages Stay Editable While Devin Is Idle

Queued messages can be sent, edited, removed or reordered after Devin stops or the session goes to sleep, instead of being locked until the next turn.

Open Chat Images in a Tab

Images in the chat can be opened as a tab from the image viewer, so you can view an image alongside the conversation.

Numbers Follow Your Display Language

Numbers across Devin (usage, dashboards, counts) now use the thousands separator and decimal mark of your selected display language instead of the browser locale.

Browser Previews Wake Sleeping Sessions

Opening a browser preview of a sleeping session restarts the servers behind the preview automatically, without a chat message. The visitor may need to reload once the server is back.

/devin Commands on GitLab Merge Requests

/devin review and /devin comments now work on GitLab merge requests.

Bitbucket Cloud Merge Readiness

Devin Review shows merge readiness for Bitbucket Cloud pull requests: ready, or blocked by required approvals, default-reviewer approvals, builds or requested changes when the branch enforces its merge checks.

Word-level Highlights for Edited Lines

In Devin Review diffs, an edited line shows which words changed even when lines were added or removed right next to it.

List and Search Pull Requests

Devin can list and search a repository’s pull requests by state, author, branch or title on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Gerrit and Perforce Swarm, instead of opening PRs one at a time.

Git Tools for Issues, Labels, Assignees and Branch Protection

Devin has built-in tools for issues (view, list, create, comment, edit), repository labels, PR assignees, repository info and branch protection rules on GitHub. Repository info and branch protection also work on GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket and Gerrit, and the issue and label tools on GitLab.

Bitbucket Data Center Webhooks Installed Automatically

Bitbucket Data Center connections now set up their own webhooks: one per project the access token administers, covering every repository in it. Projects created later are picked up within a day.

Explain and Search Missing Repositories on GitHub

When a repository is missing from the repository picker, Devin can explain why and search your repositories by name on GitHub and GitHub Enterprise Server as well as GitLab, and points you to linking your personal account when that is the cause.

Personal Azure DevOps Connections per Tenant

Linking a personal Azure DevOps account now works when it belongs to more than one tenant: Personal connections lists one entry per tenant, and a failed connect shows an error.

Microsoft Teams: Separate Direct Messages and Group Chats Access Settings

Teams Default Access now has separate “Direct messages” and “Group chats” settings, so admins can control them independently of channel access.

Microsoft Teams: Forwarded Messages as Context

Devin now sees the content of messages forwarded to it in Teams as quoted context, separate from your comment.

Enterprise Setting to Hide the Legacy MCP Marketplace

Enterprise admins can turn off “Show legacy MCP marketplace” in Enterprise settings → Plugins to hide the legacy MCP marketplace and custom MCP entry points and stop Devin from adding such MCPs itself. MCPs already added keep working.

Google Calendar: Suggest Meeting Times

The Google integration can suggest meeting times, ranking slots by how many attendees are free and showing who can’t make each one. Google MCP installs that grant only some permissions now work for the services granted.

SAML Single Logout on Sign-out

Signing out of an enterprise SAML SSO login can also end the session at the identity provider, when a sign-out URL is configured for the connection.

Ampcode

See Your Runner's Desktop

Ampcode now lets users view and control macOS or Linux runner desktops, making it easier to try native apps built by Amp.

You can now see and control your macOS or Linux runner's desktop. This is nice for trying native apps that Amp builds for you, such as iOS apps:

Turn on Share This Mac's Display under Settings › Runner in the macOS app, or start your runner with amp --no-tui --desktop.

Your Amp client connects directly to the runner, so it's nearly instant when the runner is on your local network or nearby.

Read See and Control the Runner's Desktop for more details.

Copilot CLI by GitHub

1.0.100-1

Copilot CLI improves session browsing, honors proxy settings for sandbox traffic, and removes unwanted language markers from voice dictation.
Improved

Use the unified Sessions browser by default for /sessions, /session, and /resume.

Session browsing now caps account discovery at 500 records and respects Retry-After hints for automatic refresh timing.

Fixed

Sandbox host-rule traffic now honors HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY when no sandbox proxy is configured

Voice dictation no longer inserts language markers like into transcript text

Kilo by Kilo Code

v7.8.13 (pre-release)

Kilo improves Agent Manager with custom agent selection and a redesigned worktree flow, while expanding remote CLI agent support. The release also strengthens provider error reporting, authentication recovery, and session reliability across its tools.
VS Code

Minor Changes

#14866 f01b273 - Let a primary agent choose which agent runs an Agent Manager session it starts, so a session fanned out through Agent Manager can run a custom agent (and its edit/bash/MCP permission rules) instead of always falling back to the workspace default agent.

#15119 cbdb045 - Redesign the Agent Manager New Worktree dialog. Pick the base branch next to the project, set an optional branch name next to the worktree name, and choose versions next to the Create button. The Advanced options section is gone. The base branch pick is kept as a draft until you create the worktree, and you can make it the project default from the branch picker. Branch pickers also open faster in repositories with many branches.

Patch Changes

#14866 e703b56 - Reject internal agents when an agent starts an Agent Manager session for a named agent, and list the selectable agents on every rejection so a wrong name can be corrected without guessing.

#15118 33e6701 - Align brand yellow hover colors with Anaconda.

#15104 0f4936d - Keep Gemini thought signatures and other OpenRouter reasoning details that arrive late in a response, so later requests in the conversation replay them

#14942 b7672ae - Show why a provider failed to load — such as rejected credentials or a network error — instead of silently hiding it from the provider list. The CLI, TUI, and VS Code model picker now surface the reason and offer to sign in again when credentials were rejected.

#15041 32bc724 Thanks @hdcodedev! - Send review comments from the Changes view to the chat when the sidebar is showing History.

#14774 0913273 Thanks @LEN5010! - Prevent restarted Agent Manager terminals from lingering after closing the terminal or reloading the panel.

#15113 ba0410f - Update the VS Code extension brand yellow to #FFDD00.

#14925 4516a48 Thanks @abdulhusainahk! - Show a dismissible hint naming the first workspace folder used by chat in multi-root windows, with guidance for working on another folder. The hint is available in all supported sidebar languages.

#15045 6fcbc66 Thanks @hdcodedev! - Keep new files with accented or non-Latin names, such as résumé.txt, when moving a chat to a worktree

CLI

Minor Changes

#15159 7420e70 - Share the agents a remote-controlled CLI can run, including project agents from .kilo/agents, so the Kilo mobile app can offer them when it starts or continues a session on that computer.

Patch Changes

#15114 f1927fb - Use the Kilo brand yellow (#FFDD00) for the CLI logo and theme accent.

#14866 0c8849c - Allow custom agents to delegate file edits to subagents without stripping the subagent's configured write permissions. A custom delegator's own edit rules, including path-scoped denies such as edit: { "secrets/**": "deny" }, now apply only to that agent and no longer constrain the subagents it starts, so use a session-level edit restriction to confine delegated writes. Built-in read-only modes (plan, ask, orchestrator) still block edits in their subagents, and child agents keep their own denials and approval requirements.

#13722 952d2d1 Thanks @maphew! - Restore Home and End cursor movement while typing in dialog filter inputs (e.g. the provider connect, session list, and model picker dialogs) instead of jumping the list, and keep the list-jump behavior when the filter is empty.

#15131 f9b632f - Refresh an expired MCP OAuth token automatically. Servers that reject an expired access token with 403 (rather than 401) no longer leave the connection stuck on "authentication required", so a new worktree or project session reconnects without asking you to sign in again.

#13260 8d5c126 Thanks @waewoo! - Allow OpenAI-compatible providers that require string content for tool calls to opt in without changing the default request format.

#15104 0f4936d - Keep Gemini thought signatures and other OpenRouter reasoning details that arrive late in a response, so later requests in the conversation replay them

#14942 b7672ae - Show why a provider failed to load — such as rejected credentials or a network error — instead of silently hiding it from the provider list. The CLI, TUI, and VS Code model picker now surface the reason and offer to sign in again when credentials were rejected.

#15124 a85b9a8 - Preserve session status timing for accurate overnight activity and blocker reporting.

#15180 ec376c5 - Keep stray console output from dependencies out of the TUI. Warnings written straight to the terminal by libraries running in the session worker — for example the MCP SDK's notice about OAuth tokens saved without an issuer — used to land on top of the rendered screen and stay there until a redraw, leaving the splash screen or chat view shredded. Those writes now go to the log file instead.
