Claude Code by Anthropic

2.1.162

Claude Code adds broader agent, background, and startup polish with better JSON status, more reliable permissions and tool behavior, clearer warnings, smoother session handling, and quieter launches across native and Windows builds.
Release notes

claude agents --json now includes waitingFor showing what a waiting session is blocked on (e.g. permission prompt)

--tools: explicitly listing Grep/Glob now provides the dedicated search tools on native builds with embedded search (previously these names were silently ignored)

/effort now confirms when your chosen level will persist as the default for new sessions

Clicking a slash command in the autocomplete menu now fills it into your prompt instead of running it immediately; press Enter to run

Remote Control now shows as a persistent footer pill (with a link to the session) instead of a startup message

Renamed Windsurf to Devin Desktop in the /ide menu, /terminal-setup, and /scroll-speed, following the editor's rebrand

Fixed a silent startup hang when the config directory is read-only or unwritable — Claude Code now starts with in-memory config and surfaces startup errors instead of showing a blank screen

Fixed WebFetch permission rules not being applied to built-in preapproved domains; explicit WebFetch(domain:...) deny/ask/allow rules now take precedence over the preapproved-host auto-allow

Fixed Windows permission rules never matching when spelled with backslashes (~\, \\server\share) or case-variant paths, and Read deny rules not hiding files from Glob/Grep results

Fixed an interrupt (Esc) sent at the very start of a turn being silently dropped in stream-json/SDK sessions, leaving the turn running with no "Interrupted" feedback

Fixed API 400 no low surrogate in string errors for classifier side-queries and MCP server descriptions containing emoji near a truncation boundary

Fixed MCP per-server timeout config values below 1000 ms being floored to a 1-second watchdog that aborted every tool call; sub-1000 ms values are now ignored (falling back to MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT or default), and claude mcp get annotates them accordingly

Fixed the LSP tool's workspaceSymbol operation returning no results; it now accepts a query parameter and passes it to the language server

Fixed claude agents cutting live status text (tool args, replies, prompts, exec output) at 60–120 columns on wide terminals; the status detail now uses the full terminal width

Fixed claude agents truncating long session names at 40 columns; the name column now grows with terminal width

Fixed claude agents attach occasionally bouncing straight back to the session list on the first try after a background-service restart

Fixed claude agents Ctrl+V image paste doing nothing in the dispatch input and the session reply box; pasting with no image now shows a hint

Fixed backgrounding a session with
silently losing the conversation when the background service cannot start; the session stays in the list as a failed row you can wake with Enter

Fixed replies from the agents view that fail to send being lost; they are now queued for delivery on the next session start

Fixed cross-session messaging (SendMessage) silently breaking when CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR or $TMPDIR points at a deep directory

Fixed opening a running background session from claude agents stalling for 5 seconds before attaching

Quieter startup: notices group by severity, and session info and announcements share a single line per launch

Startup warnings rewritten to be shorter and clearer, each with a concrete fix

Launch-prompt warnings (deep link/pre-filled prompt) now stay pinned below the input until you act instead of scrolling away

Failed turns now show a compact warning line instead of a multi-line red error block

Improved background service startup and claude update verification to wait out endpoint-security scanning of new binaries instead of failing after 5 seconds

Background dispatch spawn failures now report the error class name when no errno is available

Removed the "Claude in Chrome enabled" and "marketplace installed" startup messages; model auto-updates and the team-onboarding tip now show as quiet notices under the logo

Claude Code by Anthropic

2.1.161

Claude Code adds richer metrics labeling, smoother agent and MCP workflows, and better parallel tool handling, while improving Linux clipboard behavior, terminal rendering, and VS Code glyph fixes. It also ships a wide set of reliability, security, and resume-session bug fixes.
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES values are now included as labels on metric datapoints, so you can slice usage metrics by custom dimensions like team or repo

claude agents rows now show done/total before the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item

/mcp now collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row

Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch 94 each tool returns its own result independently

Fullscreen mode: clipboard now uses wl-copy/xclip/xsel on Linux when available, copies to both the clipboard and PRIMARY selection for middle-click paste, and the "hold {key} for native selection" hint now shows the correct key per terminal

Fixed the /effort dialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting

Fixed forceLoginOrgUUID/forceLoginMethod managed-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146)

Fixed background subagent output corrupting claude -p stdout when using --output-format text or json

Fixed /usage-credits starting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page

Fixed /autofix-pr reporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository

Fixed --resume picker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces)

Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g., /usr/bin/bash script.sh) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file"

Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (user_prompt, api_request, tool_result, tool_decision) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed

Fixed claude mcp list/get/add printing secrets to the terminal: ${VAR} references are no longer expanded, and credential headers and URL secrets are redacted

Fixed Workflow agents spawned with isolation: "worktree" in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree

Fixed background sessions dispatched from claude agents booting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model in settings.json

Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session

Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result

Fixed EADDRINUSE errors from tools that bind Unix sockets under $TMPDIR when CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR is set to a deep path

Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile

Improved rendering performance for large file writes

[VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running /terminal-setup) to fix garbled glyphs

Claude Code by Anthropic

2.1.160

Claude Code adds stronger safety prompts, faster and more reliable background sessions, and a smoother agents view. It also improves auto mode, fixes Windows, WSL, voice, vim, and IME issues, and renames the dynamic-workflow trigger to ultracode.
Added a prompt before writing to shell startup files (.zshenv, .zlogin, .bash_login) and ~/.config/git/, which could otherwise lead to unintended command execution

acceptEdits mode now prompts before writing build-tool config files that grant code execution (.npmrc, .yarnrc*, bunfig.toml, .bazelrc, .pre-commit-config.yaml, .devcontainer/, etc.)

Edit no longer requires a separate Read after viewing a file with grep: single-file grep/egrep/fgrep commands now satisfy the read-before-edit check

Fixed copy-on-select not writing to the Windows clipboard on WSL 94 now uses PowerShell interop instead of OSC 52, which terminals like MobaXterm don't support

Fixed restoring a completed session from claude agents dropping chat history and re-running the original prompt

Fixed background sessions re-attached after overnight retire losing their conversation and re-running the original prompt

Fixed claude --bg occasionally failing with "socket missing" when the background daemon was cold-starting on a loaded machine

Fixed an issue on Windows where the directory a background session was started in could not be deleted after claude rm until the background daemon exited

Fixed background agents that resumed work being shown under Completed in the agents list

Fixed claude agents freezing for several seconds when returning to the session list due to the auto-updater re-checking on every exit

Fixed Esc, arrow keys, and typing becoming unresponsive on Windows when attached to a background session or in the agent view while the host is under heavy CPU load

Fixed background agents emitting terminal sync-output markers to terminals that don't support them (Apple Terminal, tmux), causing render artifacts when entering a running agent

Fixed mouse wheel scrolling prompt history instead of the transcript right after opening a session from the agents list

Fixed CJK IME composition appearing at the bottom-left of the screen instead of at the input caret in the claude agents view

Fixed valid file:///C:/... links being rewritten to a broken path on Windows terminals with hyperlink support

Fixed voice mode failing to connect when the project directory or branch name contains non-ASCII or special characters

Fixed the auto mode unavailability message on third-party providers (Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry) to point to the CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE opt-in instead of incorrectly blaming the model

Fixed /effort ultracode incorrectly blaming the dynamic workflows setting when the model cannot run xhigh; ultracode is no longer offered on models that do not support it

Fixed model-not-found errors suggesting --model when running via the SDK or other hosts where the CLI flag doesn't apply

Fixed Claude's past replies disappearing from scrollback when resuming a brief mode session with brief mode turned off

Fixed vim mode p pasting on the line below instead of at the cursor when the register was yanked with v$

Improved performance of opening recently-inactive background agent sessions in claude agents

Improved auto mode classifier latency by reducing reasoning on routine actions, lowering the chance of "could not evaluate this action" blocks

Improved background-session teardown (claude rm/stop, idle reap) to send SIGTERM to running shell subprocesses before SIGKILL, so cleanup handlers run

Removed CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE; the environment variable is now a no-op

Removed the JetBrains plugin install suggestion from startup

Renamed the dynamic-workflow trigger keyword from workflow to ultracode. The word "workflow" no longer triggers a run; asking for one in your own words still works. The trigger keyword is highlighted in violet in the prompt input

Ampcode

Agents, Everywhere

Ampcode releases a new UI and sidebar for watching and steering Amp agents across web, mobile, and CLI. It now lets users remote control all active threads in one place, with a redesigned team thread list moved to Activity.
Amp has a new UI and sidebar, built for watching and driving all of your Amp agents, on web, mobile, and CLI.

We rebuilt Amp's foundation last month, so that your agents can run for longer, with less handholding needed. Amp is now a distributed system with durable execution for the agent loop and a plugin API.

Now, with this new foundation in place, we're pulling ourselves back above ground to shape how you use Amp to get the most out of these models.

We want you to be happy and productive running many Amp agents simultaneously on long-running tasks. You should be able to use the agent interface for most of your work. You shouldn't need to juggle terminal tabs.

Remote-controlling a single thread was the first step toward this, and now you can remote control all of your active threads in one place:

It's rolled out to everyone. To use it:

Desktop web: sign into ampcode.com, or run amp app.

Mobile web: sign into ampcode.com.

Amp CLI: press Opt+S/Alt+S to show the sidebar with threads in your current directory.

The thread list for your team has also been redesigned and moved to Activity.

Windsurf

Added a new command for Devin Desktop to rerun the migration from Windsurf

Windsurf adds a reset migration command in Devin Desktop to rerun imports and restore settings.

Added a new command for Devin Desktop to rerun the migration from Windsurf. This will reset Devin Desktop settings and give you a second chance to import extensions and other settings from Windsurf. The “Reset migration from Windsurf” command can be found in the command palette.

If you are logged out of your account after migrating from Windsurf, we recommend opening the command palette via ctrl+shift+p (cmd+shift+p on macOS) and running the reset migration command.
