v2.1.296

Compare Source

• Added a code key to the Claude apps gateway's managed.policies[]: the same settings as cli, also applied in Claude Desktop's Code tab; beside desktop, it turns on Claude Desktop's gateway mode
• Added autoCompactWindow to subagent frontmatter and --agents definitions, so a subagent can auto-compact earlier than the main conversation's window
• Added CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_SUBAGENT_MODEL to run every workflow agent on one model while other subagents keep theirs
• Added CLAUDE_CODE_OVERLOADED_RETRY_MAX_DELAY_MS environment variable to set a longer maximum delay for the backoff when retrying an overloaded (529) request
• Added a note in /plugin on a plugin whose hooks are left out because another enabled plugin has the same name
• Added an allow_large option to the Read tool so Claude can read a text file past the usual size limits in one call when it needs the whole file and the context has room
• Fixed managed-settings PreToolUse hooks that deny a tool call with "continue": false, and managed prompt hooks that block one, refusing the call but not ending the turn
• Fixed PostToolUse hooks in managed settings not applying updatedMCPToolOutput in some sessions
• Fixed headless sessions starting a folder's .mcp.json or plugin MCP server that was switched off for that folder, after changing directory or reloading plugins
• Fixed a Claude apps gateway that serves allowedProviders with "gateway" locking out laptops that name that gateway in user settings
• Fixed a saved Claude apps gateway sign-in being ignored on machines whose managed settings set forceLoginMethod to gateway with no forceLoginGatewayUrl (regression in 2.1.295)
• Fixed --teleport opening an empty conversation when the session's history could not be read
• Fixed token counts for Haiku 5.5 and other models that take only adaptive thinking, which failed behind some gateways and were counted with budget thinking elsewhere
• Fixed resumed subagents being told that the user rejected a tool call that a session shutdown had interrupted
• Fixed hook output being altered when it contained text resembling a plugin hint tag
• Fixed secret redaction in shared transcripts and debug logs missing some values that follow a key with no value, including in JSON written inside a shell string
• Fixed a stray 52;c;… escape sequence printed on screen after copying in older VTE-based terminals such as MATE Terminal
• Fixed toasts and notifications waiting unseen for as long as the /diff panel or dialog was open
• Fixed Esc or an interrupt during a UserPromptSubmit hook or a mod's prompt.submit hook ending headless sessions, clearing the typed prompt, or letting the unchecked prompt through
• Fixed SessionStart hooks of a plugin loaded after a headless session starts being skipped when a different plugin with the same name, or another spelling of it, had already run
• Fixed claude self-hosted-runner printing misleading errors when registration is refused: it now names the org admin setting, or says a restarted on-demand runner needs a fresh work order
• Fixed a self-hosted runner session's git fetch, pull and push failing while another session of the same repository starts on a runner with --capacity above 1
• Fixed workflow scripts silently truncating results, agent options and other values nested deeper than about 20,000 levels, and deeply nested results writing huge task output files
• Fixed a plugin's served $ methods running in the main session's working directory instead of the calling agent's, and ignoring the turn their calling hook holds
• Fixed $.agent.register succeeding from a mod's hook that was still running after the mod was reloaded or removed; the call is now refused
• Fixed $.http.fetch in mods refusing a HEAD request when the response declares a Content-Length over the 4 MiB body limit
• Fixed claude plugin marketplace add, marketplace update and plugin install failing with an internal error for a marketplace named like constructor; add now refuses such names clearly
• Fixed a plugin secret named constructor or prototype being deleted by the next save of that plugin's options
• Fixed cloud sessions skipping auto mode's checks on Claude in Chrome actions that a saved permission allows when their feature flags had not loaded
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN re-running a finished turn after a restart when an MCP tool result had ended that turn
• Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving some commands that assign the BASH_ARGV0 shell variable and then use it; these now prompt for approval
• Fixed Edit and NotebookEdit replacing every non-ASCII character in files that are not valid UTF-8 (Windows-1252, Shift-JIS, GBK); such edits are now refused
• Fixed a prompt sent just after ← being run twice, once unseen in the foreground, when the background service was slow to answer
• Fixed a prompt sent while SessionStart hooks were still running vanishing when ← moved the session to the background; it is still not sent, but ↑ now brings it back
• Fixed a late-loading plugin's SessionStart hook output reaching the new conversation after /clear in headless sessions
• Fixed PowerShell commands not seeing variables that hooks write to CLAUDE_ENV_FILE (when the file holds only plain assignments)
• Fixed Claude calling cloud sessions non-interactive and suggesting /mcp or claude mcp when an MCP server needs authentication
• Fixed /code-review ending on a raw JSON array in cloud sessions, the Agent SDK and IDE integrations; the findings now print as a numbered list
• Fixed auto mode occasionally refusing one update to your own artifact, saying its sharing had changed when it had not
• Fixed skills synced from claude.ai never finishing their install, and being downloaded again at every sync, when several sessions share a config directory
• Fixed a plugin synced from claude.ai being disabled when the marketplace dependency it declares was also synced from claude.ai
• Fixed a startup hang on macOS when plugin paths copied from a Linux machine pointed under /home
• Fixed the Workflow tool refusing script files with CRLF line endings, such as files checked out on Windows
• Fixed OpenTelemetry tool_result events missing git_commit_id after git commit -q or git -C <dir> commit
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_TRANSCRIPT_LOCAL_GC dropping a message from the saved transcript when its text held a Unicode line or paragraph separator (U+2028, U+2029)
• Fixed claude purge leaving a prompt in the history file when its text held a Unicode line or paragraph separator (U+2028, U+2029)
• Windows: Fixed PowerShell commands longer than about 1 KB always asking for permission, so allow rules and read-only detection now apply up to 32 KB
• Windows: Fixed stdio MCP servers being force-killed at shutdown; stdin now closes first and the process tree is killed only if the server is still running after 300 ms
• Windows: Fixed claude plugin install failing for GitHub owner/repo plugin sources on machines with no GitHub SSH key; the clone is now retried over HTTPS
• Windows: Fixed rm -rf /c/Users/<name> in Git Bash not asking in bypass permissions mode
• Improved fullscreen mode: the link under the mouse pointer is now underlined to show it can be opened
• Improved transcript toggle (ctrl+o) responsiveness in code-heavy conversations by caching syntax-highlighted code blocks
• Improved Claude Desktop's Code tab behind a Claude apps gateway: when a session can't start, including on a machine not set up for the gateway's code settings, the reason shows as a reply
• Improved the errors for a refused cloud session: they now say why your organization's policy couldn't be loaded, and name an API key or auth token that overrides your claude.ai login
• Improved --debug output to name unrecognized frontmatter fields in custom agent files, with a hint for likely typos
• Improved auto mode: a tool call that wasn't run because auto mode's check had no usable answer now shows as a dim "Not run" row instead of a red error
• Improved --debug output for hooks: command hooks on tool calls, prompts, SessionStart and Stop now log their command, plugin, outcome and duration when they finish, so a slow hook is identifiable
• Improved CLAUDE_CODE_TRANSCRIPT_LOCAL_GC: a large transcript file is no longer rewritten when that would free under 10% of it
• Updated /cost, the status line, --max-budget-usd and the SDK's cost figures to price Sonnet 5.5 cache reads at $0.10 per million tokens (was $0.20)
• Updated the bundled dataviz skill: lighter violet for the seventh series in light mode, softer primary text in dark mode, and compact y-axis labels like 1K
• Changed the default limit on MCP tool descriptions sent up front and on MCP server instructions from 2,048 to 4,096 characters
• Changed ←: a turn or ! command started while the session moves to the background is now stopped instead of finishing out of sight
• [VSCode] Fixed claudeCode.spinnerVerbs missing from the extension's settings, so settings.json now completes and validates it; a malformed value no longer breaks the chat panel
• [VSCode] Changed Claude in Chrome to ask before browser actions in every session, including one connected with @browser, as the terminal does; allowing a site for the session stops repeat asks
• [VSCode] Fixed chat links written as a full Windows path, such as C:\repo\file.ts or file:///C:/repo/file.ts, not opening the file on Windows
• [VSCode] Fixed the working indicator still animating when reduced motion is turned on in your OS, in VS Code, or with the prefersReducedMotion setting
• [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock reading warm after the panel caught up on messages late, such as after the display was off or a remote window reconnected
• [Cloud sessions] Added a status filter to the Sessions and Runners lists on a self-hosted environment's Activity tab in admin settings; you can pick several statuses at once
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed every cloud session waiting for a self-hosted runner showing the same queue position; each now shows how many sessions are ahead of it
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed a message you send while Claude is still replying in a cloud session jumping above that reply when it finishes; it now stays below it, including after a reload
• [Claude Tag] Changed Claude in Slack to show the footer with the session link, model and cost only on its newest reply in a thread; the reply before it drops the footer
• [Claude Tag] Fixed links to URLs that contain parentheses breaking in some of Claude's Slack replies and task checklists, which showed stray bracket text and opened the wrong page
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude's Slack replies drawing color swatches beside codes that only look like hex colors, such as six-digit pull request numbers
• [Claude Tag] Added creating, editing and deleting workspace and channel memory files on the Activity page's Memory tab for members with the Claude Tag Admin permission
• [Claude Tag] Fixed the plugin confirmation card Claude posts in a Slack channel showing a plugin's ID instead of its name
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack posting a card to remove a plugin the channel's own settings don't include; it now explains where the plugin comes from instead
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack sometimes losing its reply when a session in a self-hosted environment moved to a new runner partway through a task
• [Code Review] Fixed the Code Review check sometimes staying "in progress" on a pull request after the review finished; it now shows the review's result
• [Code Review] Improved Code Review admin settings to say why a setting couldn't be saved, such as a policy restriction, instead of a generic failure message

v2.1.295

Compare Source

• Added onFailure: "block" for command and HTTP hooks: a hook that can't start, times out, or exits with an unexpected code blocks the action instead of letting it through
• Added Program Status Protocol (OSC 7501) support: terminals that implement it can show whether Claude Code is working, waiting on you, or done
• Added quoted text to the /copy picker, so a drafted message copies without its > markers
• Added a warning to claude plugin install, enable, disable and marketplace add when the settings file they write to does not load
• Added a line on stderr, when it is a terminal, that says what a claude -p run is waiting for when it stays open after its last turn
• Added support for timeouts.upstream_ttfb_ms on the Claude apps gateway's Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other cloud upstreams: a value you set now limits how long a stream may take to start there, after which it fails over or gets a 502
• Added a "Backgrounding cancelled" message when you stop the turn while ← is waiting for the current tool to finish
• Added an optional models list to every Claude apps gateway upstream: only the listed models are sent there, on failover too, and one * in an entry is a wildcard
• Added support for forceLoginMethod: "gateway" and forceLoginGatewayUrl in your own user settings on machines with no managed settings, so /login opens on that Claude apps gateway
• Added advice to claude plugin validate when a plugin's README has no install line: it prints the line to paste and never changes the exit code, even with --strict
• Added upstream_request_id to the Claude apps gateway's inference audit event: the request ID from Amazon Bedrock, the Anthropic API or another upstream, for support cases
• Added $.ui.notify for mods: raises a native notification through your own notification setting and says which channel sent it
• Added children to a mod's Button: strings and Text, so a row of a list is one pressable with a chip or a dim detail inside
• Added CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG_MAX_WAIT_MS to limit how long unattended retry mode (CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) waits out 429 and 529 errors
• Added a request-id header to the Claude apps gateway's successful inference responses, so request_id in Claude Code telemetry matches the gateway's audit log
• Fixed every request failing on a [1m] model when a gateway, Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry refuses the context-1m beta; Claude Code now resends without it
• Fixed claude -p text output dropping earlier responses when background work started another turn; each turn's response now prints when the turn ends
• Fixed remote MCP servers in headless and SDK sessions staying disconnected after an outage longer than 15 seconds, or reconnecting in a tight loop to a server that drops each connection right after it connects; repeated drops now back off, up to 30s
• Fixed remote MCP connections being dropped when a server's error reply happened to contain a network error name
• Fixed MCP servers that repeat a pagination cursor being asked for the same page up to 20 times at every connect
• Fixed CSS, JavaScript and XML files returned by MCP tools being saved as .bin, which the Read tool refuses; font and icon files now get their own extension too
• Fixed Bash tool calls failing when the model passes command_description instead of description
• Fixed Claude in Chrome not applying a site deny rule written with port 80 (host:80) to plain http:// pages on that host
• Fixed /plugin's Errors tab removing a marketplace that failed to load, and uninstalling its plugins, on Enter without asking first
• Fixed claude plugin marketplace add reporting success for a marketplace whose name no plugin can be installed under; such an add is now refused
• Fixed CLAUDE_AUTO_BACKGROUND_TASKS moving a subagent to the background while an edit or shell command waited behind it, which started that call before the subagent finished
• Fixed PushNotification saying a push was not sent in claude remote-control sessions right after a phone message, without the /config toggle, or when started from inside Claude Code
• Fixed files sent from remote sessions being refused as "could not be vouched for" when more than 256 were sent at once
• Fixed a rare failure to load managed settings at startup right after a login refresh
• Fixed /tui exiting without a message, or with a raw system error, when Claude Code could not be started again
• Fixed a link address shown as text being hidden by a colour or conceal style a reply left on, including where it wraps in a table or a question preview
• Fixed Fable models listed in availableModels not appearing in the /model picker for sessions signed in to a Claude apps gateway; such a model now shows its built-in row in place of a modelPicker row added for the same model
• Fixed the Claude apps gateway's admin spend view showing a developer's old groups and group cap after their session stopped carrying groups
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC hiding the Claude apps gateway spend limit in /usage and the status line. The spend limit request goes to the gateway the session is signed in to
• Fixed subagents in their own linked worktree being shown the parent session's git branch, status and recent commits
• Fixed Claude stopping at the end of the current tool when text typed in the prompt cancelled backgrounding with ←; Claude now keeps working in the foreground
• Fixed --tools and --restricted not applying to built-in tools that register after launch, and deprecated tool names reaching tools outside the caller's tool set
• Fixed an interrupt not ending the turn until a timeout while Claude waited for an MCP server's resource list
• Fixed a mod's hook being handed a deeply nested tool input cut short with no error, so a guard could pass content it never saw
• Fixed Esc not stopping a self-paced /loop that was moved to the background with ←; cancelling a pending wakeup now shows a notice
• Fixed commands and hooks in background sessions inheriting FORCE_COLOR=3, which put color escape codes into the output Claude reads
• Fixed claude agents starting a new background service as it exited when both were stopped with a session open (for example at a reboot), which could delay shutdown and restart an interrupted session
• Fixed a custom agent named worker being shown as "Agent" in auto-mode denial notices and in the activity lists of task detail views
• Fixed Bash permission checks for for-loops over glob patterns, improving permission-check accuracy
• Fixed forked skills invoked from Workflow subagents delivering their results to the main conversation instead of the invoking agent
• Fixed in-process agent teammates failing their first SendMessage call until they loaded the tool through tool search
• Fixed Claude being told on resume that an unfinished background workflow may have been stopped by TaskStop, which can never be the cause
• Fixed Claude not being told when you stop a long-running MCP tool call from the tasks panel or a connected client
• Fixed a background session's /loop stopping without notice when its next wakeup came due while the session's process was down; the session now says so and Claude is told
• Fixed raw terminal hyperlink bytes in a reply or a teammate's message being drawn as a clickable link with a hidden address
• Fixed plugin marketplaces whose repository has large git submodules failing to add or refresh: only the submodules that hold plugin files are now fetched
• Fixed the /advisor dialog showing a checkmark on a saved advisor model that is no longer available; it now opens on "No advisor"
• Fixed the notification for an MCP tool call that moved to the background showing a shortened task id
• Fixed vim mode's ~ moving the cursor past the last character of a line, so x after it did nothing, and 3~ running on into the next line
• Fixed the cursor landing one character too far after pasting accented text copied from macOS (such as a file name) into the middle of the prompt
• Fixed the terminal freezing, with ctrl+c ignored, when a response ran to tens of thousands of lines
• Fixed calls a mod makes while it reloads during a plugin hooks worker restart getting past another mod's guard hook that has a .catch; such calls are now refused
• Fixed plugins whose hooks module nests code thousands of levels deep failing to load or validate with a bare stack-overflow message
• Fixed claude plugin test passing a session.append hook that removes tool call, tool result or thinking blocks that a real session keeps
• Fixed Claude not being told it can resume background subagents with SendMessage after a session was killed and resumed a second time
• Fixed a file being treated as already read after a Bash command such as cat ran without printing it
• Fixed plugin options named constructor or prototype always reading as their default and never reloading the plugin when edited
• Fixed a mod's hot reload missing a save made while /reload-plugins or session start was reading the mod's files
• Fixed the mod hot-reloading question being asked again every turn for the whole session when it is approved without picking an answer
• Fixed /model, /fast and /output-style saving their setting without asking a plugin's config.set hook
• Fixed bold text being drawn faint in piped output when it directly follows dim text
• Fixed replies whose quotes nest deeper every few lines freezing the terminal for seconds and using gigabytes of memory
• Fixed a mod's hot reload missing a save made within a few milliseconds of its last reload, which left the mod on its old version until the next save
• Fixed claude mcp serve background Bash results not naming the output file, and its tool description promising a notification that never arrives
• Fixed an async SessionStart hook's unchanged context being added to the conversation again on every resume
• Fixed variables a SessionStart hook writes to CLAUDE_ENV_FILE not reaching the Bash tool after an in-app /resume or /branch
• Fixed a skill's allowed-tools and effort being dropped when the Skill tool finished before the response stream ended, which denied the skill's Bash commands in -p runs
• Fixed a tampered cache of server-managed settings making a person's own plugin count as organization-managed on machines whose managed settings list or enable plugins
• Fixed Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3.x Sonnet sessions being offered tool search, which those models reject, where feature flags are unavailable
• Fixed generated type files being written into a --plugin-dir plugin's folder in -p and SDK sessions; they are now written only where a mod is being developed
• Fixed text with tabs or bidirectional control characters losing its end at the edge of the screen or drawing over nearby rows
• Fixed /model saying a Max effort pick was saved as your default for new sessions; Max applies to the current session only
• Fixed an async hook's JSON output being ignored when it is printed over several lines
• Fixed the Read tool rejecting calls with an empty pages parameter instead of treating it as omitted
• Fixed project-scope plugins not loading in VS Code on Windows due to drive-letter casing (#​74612)
• Fixed plugin install and uninstall at project or local scope on Windows missing the install record, or adding a second one, when only the drive letter's case differs
• Fixed a queued message being lost when pulled back into the prompt with ↑ or Esc just after ←: prompt history now keeps it
• Fixed mod hot-reloading turning off for the whole session when an SDK host closed its enable question before anyone answered; the question is now asked up to three times
• Fixed a prompt that a mod's prompt.submit hook rewrote or dropped still being saved as typed to prompt history and to the transcript's queued-prompt records
• Fixed non-interactive sessions telling you about MCP servers that need authentication when your request doesn't use them
• Fixed the claude_code.auth OpenTelemetry login event not being emitted on Claude apps gateway sign-in. The event is exported when OpenTelemetry is configured on the machine or the session is already signed in to the gateway
• Fixed a plugin that adds very large interfaces getting another plugin unloaded when the plugin hooks worker stalls
• Fixed Edit treating a file as fully read when its contents changed without its modification time advancing
• Fixed short command output with Windows line endings (CRLF) being drawn on a single line
• Fixed a stopped scheduled task coming back on resume after a rewind, and a scheduled task being lost on resume after Esc or a rewind following a compaction
• Fixed the terminal freezing for seconds or minutes while syntax highlighting code with very long lines, long runs of blank lines, or unclosed strings and heredocs
• Fixed temporary files left under ~/.claude/seed-admin by an interrupted /ultrareview upload never being removed by the retention cleanup
• Fixed Desktop and SDK sessions refusing to switch back to auto mode until restart after disableAutoMode was removed from settings
• Fixed claude.ai-synced plugin hooks failing with "Plugin directory does not exist" in long-running sessions after another session synced a plugin update
• Fixed the prompt sent after a /rewind being lost, and the removed turns coming back, when the session was moved to the background or resumed after being killed
• Fixed cloud sessions hanging when a mod's session.receive hook asked for permission before passing a message on
• Fixed macOS background sessions that restart together after an update sometimes running outside the stable app wrapper, so folder-access prompts could reappear
• Fixed an MCP sign-in or reconnect that finishes late in headless and SDK sessions relisting a server set with setMcpServers() as your own
• Fixed changing the auto-update channel in /config saving before a plugin's config.set hook was asked
• macOS: Fixed a file count at session start that could reach other apps' data and raise the "access data from other apps" prompt when a session starts in the home folder or above it
• Improved token counts behind a Claude apps gateway on Amazon Bedrock, which /context and large file reads use: the gateway now gets them from AWS's CountTokens API instead of a one-token model request. Grant bedrock:CountTokens to use it
• Improved the Claude apps gateway to log a warning every 30 seconds while its PostgreSQL database is read-only, saying what fails and how to recover
• Improved the status shown in Remote Control, claude.ai and the desktop app for a session waiting on a permission prompt to name an MCP tool by its server and readable name instead of its mcp__server__tool identifier
• Improved background requests behind a Claude apps gateway to use Haiku 4.5 instead of the session's model, falling back to the session's model where the gateway does not serve Haiku 4.5
• Improved how the Claude apps gateway handles models not listed under models: in Amazon Bedrock regions outside AWS's US geography. AWS always refused those requests; the gateway now tries the model in your own region, and a refusal names the model to add
• Improved headless rate_limit_event usage-limit warnings to say whether the account has extra usage turned on
• Improved the built-in plugin-authoring skill: it no longer tells a session with no terminal to run terminal commands, and explains sharing a mod only when asked
• Improved Grep input handling: a search sent with grep's -l, -c or -r flag now runs instead of failing the call
• Improved claude plugin validate and plugin loading: when a hooks module is refused over a rebound top-level var, the error now names the line that rebinds it, the cause, and a fix
• Improved the Workflow tool's scriptPath refusal: it now says to pass the script inline via script, the route that works in sessions without a Read tool
• Improved what Claude is told when a large file it sends fails to upload with no reason given, so it reports the failure instead of shrinking the file
• Changed MCP tool descriptions the model loads through tool search to be cut at 16,384 characters instead of 2,048
• Changed subagents to preload at most 32 skills from the skills field, each once; a subagent with the Skill tool can still invoke the rest
• Changed Ctrl+C at the idle prompt of an attached background session to leave a pending /loop wakeup alone, so pressing it twice detaches and the loop keeps running; press Esc to stop it
• Changed claude agents stopped with its background service (macOS, or Linux without the service installed): running sessions now stop in about a minute unless it is run again, and a notice says so
• Changed claude.ai connectors to negotiate MCP protocol version 2026-07-28 by default on installs that fetch no flags; MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION=legacy opts out
• Changed Artifact pages with no background of their own to show on white instead of off-white
• Changed what Claude and you read when a mod denies a tool call after the tool ran: it now says the tool ran and a plugin withheld its result
• Changed tab stops to count from where a text starts instead of from the screen's left edge: an answer indented by 2 has its first stop 8 cells in, where it was 6
• Changed the Artifact tool's permission prompts with telemetry disabled to the same five questions other installs get, instead of asking before each read of someone else's artifact and each data edit
• Changed scheduled and Run now routine runs in installs with telemetry disabled to publish new private artifacts, and update your own, without asking, as in other installs
• Changed toasts from your organization's mods to show ahead of other mods' toasts instead of waiting behind them
• Changed the Claude apps gateway to start with a warning and serve a desktop policy key its bundled Claude Desktop schema doesn't know, so new Desktop settings need no gateway upgrade
• Changed WebSocket (ws) MCP servers: a message over 16 MiB is no longer parsed and closes the connection, the limit the other transports already have
• [VSCode] Added a chat row for files Claude sends you: click a file's name to open it in the editor; Claude's caption shows underneath, and the row stays visible in Focus view
• [VSCode] Fixed "Fork conversation from here" and Rewind's conversation restore failing with "Message not found in session" after a background agent's activity or one of the panel's own status lines
• [VSCode] Fixed Ctrl+Shift+Tab, Cmd+Shift+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab in the chat input also switching the permission mode, and Ctrl+Tab accepting the suggested prompt
• [VSCode] Fixed keyboard focus bouncing between two Claude views visible at once, which could send typed text to the wrong conversation
• Self-hosted runner: Changed the runner to stop passing CCR_AUTO_MODE_ALLOW, CCR_AUTO_MODE_ENVIRONMENT and CCR_AUTO_MODE_SOFT_DENY into a session's environment
• Self-hosted runner: Fixed git fetches being cut off while the git server was still reporting progress on a large repository; CLAUDE_RUNNER_FETCH_SERVER_PROGRESS_CAP_MS tunes or turns off the wait
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed a message sent right after unarchiving a cloud session sometimes getting no reply because no container could start for it
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed some older routines starting their runs without ever giving Claude their saved prompt; those routines now run their prompt again
• [Cloud sessions] Improved how quickly a cloud session catches up after its connection drops: activity you missed now appears all at once instead of row by row
• [Cloud sessions] Improved the setup script box in the cloud environment form: it starts taller, grows with your script, and can be resized by dragging
• [Claude Tag] Changed the settings confirmation cards Claude posts in a Slack channel to stay open for 30 minutes instead of 10
• [Claude Tag] Changed Claude's notice that a channel shared across Enterprise Grid workspaces uses organization defaults to post only when someone mentions Claude, at most once a month
• [Claude Tag] Fixed channel links and @​-mentions in a forked thread's "Continued from" card showing as raw Slack codes
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack's Working status spinning on under a thread after @Claude !restart had already confirmed the restart
• [Claude Tag] Fixed another app's or bot's @​Claude going unanswered in a busy channel where Claude had stopped reading untagged messages
• [Claude Tag] Added a confirmation in Claude Tag admin settings before adding a channel manager moves that member to Custom roles, which can remove their other access
• [Code Review] Fixed Code Review re-reviews saying no issues were found while earlier findings were still open; the comment now says how many remain open
• [Code Review] Fixed Code Review still skipping a large CLAUDE.md's rules when the pull request edits that file
• Fixed web searches and agent hook evaluations taking much longer at xhigh and max effort

v2.1.294

Compare Source

• Fixed prompt and agent hooks written as instructions (such as "Block commands that...") allowing what they should block
• Improved how prompt hooks on Stop and SubagentStop written as instructions (such as "Carry on if the build is broken") are judged, so Claude is less likely to stop early

v2.1.293

Compare Source

• Added Claude Haiku 5.5 (claude-haiku-5-5), now the default Haiku model on the Anthropic API — 1M context, $0.10/$0.50 per Mtok ($0.50/$2.50 for prompts over 100K)
• Added agentType to the subagentStatusLine payload, so scripts can tell custom subagent types apart
• Added isDeferred to $.tool.register for mods: false lists the tool's schema in the prompt from the start instead of behind tool search
• Fixed Claude sometimes treating its own last actions before a context compaction as done after it, and retracting or redoing finished work
• Fixed a memory leak where an HTTP MCP connection kept every request it had sent until it closed
• Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being lost when ← moved the session to the background; if a queued message can't move, ← now stays put and says so
• Fixed /model effort ←/→ wrapping past the highest or lowest level, which could accidentally save Low as a model's default effort
• Fixed /tui disconnecting Claude in Chrome in a session started with --chrome, and ignoring --no-chrome
• Fixed Claude being told to continue or message subagents with SendMessage in sessions, including resumed ones, where a host, a permission rule or a --tools list removed that tool
• Fixed subagents and --agent sessions being told a built-in tool was disabled for the whole session when only their own tool list left it out
• Fixed a claude.ai-synced skill's edited description sometimes not reaching the model until a new conversation or /clear
• Fixed claude logs, stop, kill, rm and claude daemon status, stop, uninstall sometimes signing you out when your login had expired or was about to
• Fixed the footer's agents count disappearing after a momentary failure to read the sessions folder (for example, too many open files)
• Fixed a custom agent named worker being shown as "Agent" when it starts, and the agent detail dialog's title losing the agent type once the agent finishes
• Fixed the Artifact tool's transcript row briefly reading Artifact("(unprintable path)") while a publish call was still streaming in
• Fixed the /ultrareview upload on Linux wrongly refusing some repositories, such as one inside another checkout, over a settings file that "could not be parsed" while a sandboxed command was running
• Fixed the /ultrareview upload's refusal over split-index files advising a git command that could leave git unable to read its index
• Fixed replies in very long Remote Control and cloud sessions that could still appear a block at a time instead of streaming in
• Fixed Remote Control uploading a session's starting history again after every credential recovery
• Fixed PushNotification reporting "Remote Control inactive" in sessions started with claude remote-control
• Fixed a mod's hooks on classic.* events being skipped while the plugin hooks worker restarts, which left settings hooks to answer without them
• Fixed claude plugin test failing for mods that call $.session.append; tests can read the appended rows back with the new mock.session
• Fixed claude plugin eval refusing every Bash-granting run on Macs with Docker Desktop (links under ~/.docker/bin); the refusal now names which part of a credential store held the link
• Fixed the Claude apps gateway refusing to start when a desktop policy sets Claude Desktop's built-in browser keys, such as builtinBrowserEnabled
• Fixed claude agents offering bypass permissions that background sessions then ignored when consent was saved only in .claude/settings.local.json or a --settings file; it now asks for consent first, and a session that ignores bypass shows a short notice that stays
• Fixed ← backgrounding a session after 10 seconds while the prompt held unsent text (it now cancels the move) or a question was waiting for your answer
• Fixed Esc, or No without feedback, on a permission prompt not stopping the turn when ← had just been pressed to move the session to the background
• Fixed the agents view briefly replacing the session list with placeholder rows when the sessions folder could not be read (for example, too many open files)
• Fixed path-scoped rules and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading when Claude views a file with a single-file cat, head, tail, sed -n or grep command in the Bash tool instead of the Read tool
• Fixed pasted text that begins and ends with the same words sometimes being sent to Claude as if it had been typed
• Fixed a skill name in pasted text being treated as typed when an accent typed or pasted right after the paste merged into its last letter
• Fixed /feedback returning to the drafts list after Ctrl+O or Ctrl+Z while a report was sending, leaving the send impossible to cancel
• Fixed claude purge stopping silently (exit 0, or a hang in a terminal) when a file or folder could not be deleted; it now deletes the rest, lists what it could not delete, and exits 1
• Fixed keybindings.json checks: a lone " " (space key) is no longer reported as an error, and keys like "ctrl+ k" now get a warning
• Fixed vim mode >> and << on a line of only spaces leaving the cursor past the end of the line, where a following x deleted nothing
• Fixed vim mode: after deleting whole lines in Visual mode (V then d) the cursor lands on the first non-blank, and . after it acts on the cursor's line
• Windows: Fixed stopping a status line, hook, or shell command sometimes terminating an unrelated process that had been given the same process ID
• Reverted the auto mode denial message change from 2.1.281 that told Claude a denial covers the outcome, not only the exact command
• Reverted the 2.1.290 fix for cloud sessions staying asleep after a container restart lost a pending /loop wakeup or scheduled task; Claude is no longer told, and the session stays asleep
• Improved startup for Team and Enterprise organizations: policy and managed settings are fetched earlier, and a stalled request is retried after 3 seconds
• Improved Claude in Chrome: fewer page actions are refused when the browser is slow to report its tabs
• Improved the Claude in Chrome message in cloud sessions when the browser can't be reached: if you belong to more than one organization, it now says the extension must be signed in to the same one, and how to change that
• Improved the Bash edit diff note to say the listed files changed while the command ran, which can include writes by other processes
• Improved artifacts: Claude pins libraries to exact versions two weeks old or older
• Changed claude.ai skill syncing to check for changes about every 40 minutes, instead of every 10, while no session is in use
• Changed the order of agent lists and of MCP servers announced to the model: names with non-ASCII characters now sort after ASCII names
• Changed OpenTelemetry claude_code.at_mention logging to emit at most 100 agent and 100 MCP-resource events each time a prompt is read
• Self-hosted runner: Changed the orchestrator to sleep 4 to 6 seconds between polls instead of a constant 5, so several replicas for one environment stop polling at the same moment
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack saying a workspace isn't set up in Enterprise Grid channels shared across workspaces when Slack labels a message with a workspace that isn't connected
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack stopping mid-task in a channel when an admin changed the channel's connectors, plugins, skills or rules; the change now applies once Claude finishes
• [Claude Tag] Fixed asking Claude in Slack to run a thread's routine now with extra notes starting a separate run that couldn't post back; the run now continues in that thread
• [Claude Tag] Fixed an access bundle's Add a connector dialog in Claude Tag admin settings showing every Google connector as connected after one Google sign-in
• [Claude Tag] Improved Claude Tag admin settings to list an Enterprise Grid that isn't connected yet, with a Connect button
• [Claude Tag] Changed Claude in Slack to join announcement channels, where only admins can post, without posting its intro
• [Claude Tag] Changed the limit on channel rules in Claude Tag admin settings from 20 to 50 for each workspace and for the organization-wide Slack page
• [Code Review] Improved Code Review's Add a repository dialog to list each repository that couldn't be added and why, such as missing GitHub write access

v2.1.292

Compare Source

• Fixed sandboxed commands being able to read the staged file copies of /ultrareview uploads under ~/.claude/seed-admin
• Fixed a managed sandbox read-deny path (and user ones beside it) that appears or re-points mid-session not dropping project grants inside it or ending credential injection from files it covers

• Fixed NO_PROXY being ignored for Claude Code's own API requests (sign-in, policy, feedback, artifacts) when HTTPS_PROXY is set
• Fixed an MCP tool with a name longer than 128 characters making every request fail; that tool is now left out and an MCP error names it
• Fixed claude plugin commands such as marketplace add and install running before an organization's managed settings had loaded on a first run
• Fixed one-shot claude -p and Agent SDK runs stopping a background command 5 seconds after the final result, and one-shot claude -p runs dropping a scheduled wakeup; both are now waited for

• Fixed saved scheduled tasks created after /resume, /branch or /clear never firing, and saved tasks ignoring later creates and deletes after two writes to the tasks file milliseconds apart
• Fixed a background session's /loop silently stopping when the session's process restarted (for example after a crash), because its pending wakeup was lost
• Fixed Grep and Glob reporting no matches when the file or folder they were given could not be read; Claude now retries once or tells you

• Fixed @​-mentioned text files over 256KB being left out silently: Claude is now told the file's size and to read it in portions
• Fixed the usage limit alert repeating once per background agent when agents failed on a limit that had already stopped the main conversation
• Fixed Remote Control viewers seeing an empty subagent pane for background subagents in sessions hosted by the desktop app or an IDE
• Fixed cross-session delivery notices showing two sessions with similar names as one recipient, and the expiry notice blaming the desktop app when a terminal session let the message lapse
• Fixed Send now in the desktop app ending the subagent a turn was waiting on when another message was already queued
• Fixed /bug, /share and /feedback <text> starting over after Ctrl+O or Ctrl+Z while a report was being sent, and closing as cancelled after it had been sent

• Fixed some pasted text reaching Claude as typed text when several pastes overlapped in one prompt
• Fixed vim mode leaving the cursor past the end of a line, j/k losing their column on shorter lines, and f/t/F/T/;/, jumping to, or deleting up to, a match on another line of the prompt
• Fixed /add-dir path box letting Shift+Enter or a paste add a line break, and treating fast-typed "tab", "up" or "down" as those keys
• Fixed fast typing, input-method text and decomposed accents being dropped while a prompt footer row was selected, and ! leaving the row selected
• Fixed fullscreen mode sending a full-screen clear on every window resize and Ctrl+L when iTerm2 is detected, which may be what filled iTerm2's scrollback with stale pages

• Fixed a compaction summary that repeated /name letting Claude invoke a skill that is reserved for the user
• Fixed Write, Edit, NotebookEdit and LSP rows, and single Read, Grep and Glob rows, hiding why a mod denied the call: the row now shows the reason

• Fixed cloud sessions forgetting the thinking setting chosen in the client when the session's container restarted
• Fixed Cowork cloud sessions saying a proxy blocked artifacts when Anthropic couldn't confirm the organization's settings
• Fixed plugins whose hooks module makes many $.state calls through one const taking minutes to load or validate
• Fixed claude plugin validate listing a matcher or state value for a hooks module that the engine reads from elsewhere
• Fixed claude plugin validate listing a $.state value read through a top-level var that was declared again or reassigned; such a module is now refused
• Fixed a plugin's served $ method restarting the hook origin, which could run a guard hook with a .catch above it again without end
• Fixed plugin interface calls made while the plugin hooks worker restarts running without the hooks other plugins put on them
• Fixed a mod's config.set, state.set, env.set or agent.spawn hook that denies after calling next(e) being answered as a refusal: the hook is now reported as failed, by name
• Fixed /theme, the /config Theme menu and the first-run theme step saving a theme before a plugin's config.set hook was asked
• Fixed a plugin's tool.check hook answering allow running a tool that requires your answer (a question, a plan approval) without showing its dialog
• Fixed a mod's start-up prompt, command or subagent being queued a second time when the hooks worker was replaced

• Fixed plugin tool.call hooks seeing some tool calls before misnamed parameters were repaired; a hook now sees the arguments the tool will run with
• Fixed a mod's guard hook with a .catch being skipped silently for calls another mod's hook makes beneath the guard's own $ call; its .catch is now asked

• Improved hook output handling: <system-reminder> tags written in a hook's output are escaped before they reach Claude
• Improved tool input handling: Grep accepts file_path for path, and Write, WebFetch and Read ignore a few stray parameters instead of failing the call
• Improved the steps shown when a marketplace declared in a settings file has a name that looks like an official Anthropic marketplace
• Improved sandbox auto-allow: with strict sandbox mode set in user, managed or --settings settings, an interpreter command with an env var prefix like FOO=bar python3 app.py runs unprompted
• Improved the Artifact tool's listing: Claude now sees how many published artifacts you have and can list up to 200 at once instead of 50
• Improved cloud sessions after a restart: Claude is now told which stopped background agents it can resume by id

• Changed local (stdio) MCP server connections to negotiate protocol version 2026-07-28 by default on every install, including Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry; MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION=legacy opts out

• Changed usage limit messages to write claude.ai settings links with https:// so terminals and apps can make them clickable
• Changed scheduled and Run now routine runs to publish a new artifact only you can see without asking for approval; artifacts that request connectors or other access still ask
