* **Upstream routing**: clients speak the Anthropic Messages API to the gateway, and the gateway translates for each upstream, whether Amazon Bedrock, [Claude Platform on AWS](/docs/en/claude-platform-on-aws), Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, or the Anthropic API, with failover between them. You can change regions, providers, or failover order without developers noticing or reconfiguring. <Frame> - <img src="https://mintcdn.com/claude-code/st9_ZQOFsZa3cKFl/images/claude-gateway-architecture.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=st9_ZQOFsZa3cKFl&q=85&s=560770d8f49bbd6f1ca7090ed1f13c03" alt="Diagram showing Claude Code clients connecting over HTTPS with bearer tokens to a self-hosted Claude apps gateway inside your infrastructure, which signs users in against your IdP, stores auth state in PostgreSQL, relays telemetry to your OTLP collector, and forwards inference to Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry, or the Anthropic API" width="760" height="320" data-path="images/claude-gateway-architecture.svg" /> + <img src="https://mintcdn.com/claude-code/VbyXug8hBU9UK6oT/images/claude-gateway-architecture.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=VbyXug8hBU9UK6oT&q=85&s=9e4f1190fc56718144190a3db61c63af" alt="Diagram showing Claude Code clients and Claude Desktop's Chat, Cowork, and Code tabs connecting over HTTPS with bearer tokens to a self-hosted Claude apps gateway inside your infrastructure, which signs users in against your IdP, stores auth state in PostgreSQL, relays telemetry to your OTLP collector, and forwards inference to Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry, or the Anthropic API" width="760" height="320" data-path="images/claude-gateway-architecture.svg" /> </Frame> <Note>

### Deliver policy to Claude Desktop sessions -Claude Desktop runs embedded Claude Code sessions and passes policy to each one it launches. It builds that policy from the configuration the gateway serves it at `/user/bootstrap`: the model allowlist, disabled tools, and egress allowlist derived from the matched policy's `cli` block, plus the [`desktop` overlay](/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway-config#claude-desktop-overlay). Other `cli` keys, such as hooks, `env`, and scoped permission rules like `Bash(npm *)`, reach only clients that sign in through `/login`. Claude Desktop is pointed at the gateway through its own managed configuration and signs in with its own flow, separate from the `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginGatewayUrl` keys in [Set the gateway URL](#set-the-gateway-url). +Claude Desktop runs its Cowork and Code tabs, plus the Chat tab when you enable it, on embedded Claude Code sessions and sends their model requests through the gateway. It passes policy to each of those sessions, built from the configuration the gateway serves it at `/user/bootstrap`: the model allowlist, disabled tools, and egress allowlist derived from the matched policy's `cli` block, plus the [`desktop` overlay](/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway-config#claude-desktop-overlay). +Other `cli` keys, such as hooks, `env`, and scoped permission rules like `Bash(npm *)`, reach only clients that sign in through `/login`. Claude Desktop reads the gateway URL from its own managed configuration and signs in with its own flow, separate from the `forceLoginMethod` and `forceLoginGatewayUrl` keys in [Set the gateway URL](#set-the-gateway-url). + Settings passed by a launching process are parent settings. Claude Code ignores parent settings on any machine that has an admin-deployed managed source, unless the highest-priority source sets `parentSettingsBehavior: "merge"`. #### Which machines need the opt-in
from line 360
Claude Desktop signs the developer in through the gateway's identity provider with the same browser SSO step, then fetches its configuration from the gateway instead of from Anthropic. Model access and policy follow the same per-group rules as the CLI. A developer who uses both the CLI and Claude Desktop signs in to each separately; the gateway session isn't shared between them. +Once connected, Claude Desktop sends model requests from every enabled tab through the gateway. It shows the Cowork and Code tabs by default. To turn on the Chat tab as well, set `chatTabEnabled` to `true` in Claude Desktop's [managed configuration](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration), or in the policy's [`desktop` block](/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway-config#claude-desktop-overlay) on a gateway running Claude Code v2.1.227 or later. + ### CI pipelines and remote machines There is no service-token flow for unattended pipelines. Gateway sign-in always runs the browser device flow, so a CI job with no developer to approve the sign-in can't authenticate; configure those against your provider directly.
from line 393
The gateway delivers the [`anthropic-beta`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta-headers) values the CLI sends to every upstream, so operators don't maintain a beta allowlist. For Amazon Bedrock, which ignores the header, the gateway moves the values into the request body's `anthropic_beta` field; the other upstreams receive the header as sent. -| Feature | Status | Notes | -| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -| Inference forwarding (Amazon Bedrock, Claude Platform on AWS, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, Anthropic) | Available | With per-upstream model translation and failover.

<div>On a branch with an open GitLab merge request, with the <code>glab</code> CLI authenticated through <code>glab auth login</code>, the footer shows an <a href="/docs/docs/en/interactive-mode#gitlab-merge-requests"><code>MR !N</code> badge</a> colored by whether the merge request is a draft, open, or mergeable</div>
<div>Change the effort level from your phone or claude.ai/code and it <a href="/docs/docs/en/remote-control#what-connected-devices-see">applies to the session on your machine</a>; Remote Control sessions hosted by Desktop or VS Code also show connected devices the session's current permission mode</div>
<div>You can open <a href="/docs/docs/en/permissions#manage-permissions"><code>/permissions</code></a> or run <code>/add-dir \<path></code> while Claude is working; permission rule changes apply to the rest of the current turn</div>
<div>When background tasks keep a <a href="/docs/docs/en/goal#background-work-defers-evaluation"><code>/goal</code></a> waiting, Claude checks in on them after 30 minutes instead of waiting indefinitely and keeps checking in, at longer intervals while the session sits idle; set <code>CLAUDE\_CODE\_GOAL\_CHECKIN\_MINUTES=0</code> to opt out</div>
<div>Your own prompts now render markdown in the transcript, with highlighted code blocks, inline code, and lists, the same way replies do</div>
<div>The new <a href="/docs/docs/en/model-config#set-a-default-model-for-new-sessions"><code>ANTHROPIC\_DEFAULT\_MODEL</code></a> environment variable sets the model new sessions start on; a <code>/model</code> pick still overrides it and persists across restarts</div>
<div>With the <code>notify\_when\_idle</code> input on <code>SendMessage</code>, Claude can ask another Claude Code session on the same machine to <a href="/docs/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#get-a-notice-when-another-session-goes-idle">send one notice when it next goes idle</a></div>
<div>Set <a href="/docs/docs/en/interactive-mode#make-ctrl-w-delete-back-to-whitespace"><code>keybindingFlavor</code></a> to <code>"readline"</code> to make <code>Ctrl+W</code> in the prompt delete back to the previous whitespace, as Bash does, instead of stopping at punctuation such as <code>/</code></div>
<div>On native Windows, your Claude Code sessions can now <a href="/docs/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#availability">message each other</a> with <code>SendMessage</code> and find each other with <code>ListAgents</code>, as on macOS and Linux</div>
<div>Self-hosted runners accept `--defer-shutdown-max-min`, which <a href="/docs/docs/en/self-hosted-environments-deploy#defer-the-drain-past-the-first-signal">keeps serving attached sessions</a> for a set number of minutes after SIGTERM</div>
<div>Self-hosted runners accept `--proxy-authorization-command` or `--proxy-authorization-file` to supply a fresh `Proxy-Authorization` header for <a href="/docs/docs/en/self-hosted-environments-deploy#authenticate-to-an-egress-proxy">egress proxies that require one</a></div>

The weekly dev digest highlights the features most likely to change how you work. Each entry includes runnable code, a short demo, and a link to the full docs. For every bug fix and minor improvement, see the [changelog](/docs/en/changelog). +<Update label="Week 34" description="August 17–21, 2026" tags={["v2.1.234–v2.1.239"]}> + **`/design`**: a research preview that brings Claude Design's artboard workflow into the CLI and Claude Code Desktop, built on artifacts, so Claude drafts editable artboards for your UI and implements the one you pick. + + Also this week: the built-in **Concise output style** makes Claude lead with the result and skip preamble; any machine running `claude remote-control` shows up as a **device card** on your phone so you can start a session on it from the Code tab; and **`ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL`** sets the model new sessions start on. + + [Read the Week 34 digest →](/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w34) +</Update> + +<Update label="Week 33" description="August 10–14, 2026" tags={["v2.1.225–v2.1.233"]}> + **Auto-continue after a usage limit on Desktop**: when you hit your session limit in Claude Code Desktop, check **Auto-continue when limits reset** on the limit card and the app retries the interrupted turn once the limit resets. + + Also this week: **fork mode** is on by default in interactive sessions, so Claude can hand a side task to a subagent that inherits the full conversation; **GitLab** merge request URLs work with `--worktree` and the `claude agents` view, and marketplaces clone bare `gitlab.com` URLs; and typing **`@`** in the prompt mentions another Claude session by name. + + [Read the Week 33 digest →](/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w33) +</Update> + <Update label="Week 32" description="August 3–7, 2026" tags={["v2.1.220–v2.1.224"]}> **Cross-session messaging**: on macOS and Linux, your Claude Code sessions can now message each other, so Claude passes a finding or a decision from one session to another instead of you re-explaining it.
