10 * Fixed a crash on startup on Linux distributions that ship glibc 2.44 (for example Arch Linux, CachyOS and Fedora Rawhide)
11</Update>

13<Update label="2.1.243" description="August 25, 2026">
14 * Added a Loops breakdown to `/usage`: per-loop run count, total tokens, tokens per run, and last run, so runaway or chatty `/loop` tasks are easy to spot
15 * Added `modelPicker` setting: curate the `/model` picker with an ordered, labeled list of models (any id spelling, including Vertex/Bedrock ids), appended to or replacing the built-in lineup
16 * Added `promptCacheTtl` and `subagentPromptCacheTtl` settings so API-key and cloud-provider users can keep a 1-hour prompt cache on the main conversation while subagents stay at 5 minutes
17 * Added `modelPricing` managed setting so an organization's contracted per-model rates and discount multiplier are used for `/cost`, the status line, and telemetry cost figures instead of list price
18 * Added a keyless sign-in under `/login` → Anthropic Console: "Sign in with your Console account" (recommended) alongside creating an API key, so organizations that don't allow API keys can sign in
19 * Added a `Skipped sources` line to `/status` that lists managed settings sources (for example `managed-settings.json`) present but not applied because a higher-precedence managed source is active
20 * Added a `managed` marker in `/mcp` and `/plugins` on claude.ai connectors whose authentication is managed by your organization
21 * Added a tip pointing claude.ai users who haven't connected GitHub for Claude Code on the web to `/web-setup`
22 * Added a `/status` line showing whether GitHub is connected for Claude Code on the web (Pro/Max), pointing to `/web-setup` when it isn't
23 * Added the model (and effort level) each subagent ran on to `/tasks` and the agent detail dialogs
24 * Fixed remote MCP servers in non-interactive (`-p`) and SDK sessions never recovering after a dropped connection; they now reconnect automatically or report as failed
25 * Fixed MCP server sign-in started from the desktop app failing with "Invalid redirect URI" on servers that support client ID metadata documents (for example Linear)
26 * Fixed auto mode staying unavailable at startup when a temporary server-side disable was cached and later flag fetches failed
27 * Fixed auto mode tool calls being denied as "temporarily unavailable" after about a minute of waiting when the API was briefly overloaded and asked the client to retry
28 * Fixed the `/model` picker silently ignoring an Ultracode selection; picking Ultracode now applies it to the current session
29 * Fixed `/resume` only listing the 50 most recent sessions; the picker now loads more as you scroll
30 * Fixed cloud sessions resuming after a mid-turn restart with a pending hook or background-task notification re-sent as the prompt instead of the normal continuation message
31 * Fixed cross-session messaging silently turning off inside user namespaces and rootless containers after the 2.1.232 socket-directory hardening
32 * Fixed text that hangs outside its container (for example the sign-in URL in `/login`) losing its leading columns when another part of the screen repaints
33 * Fixed `spellcheck` not underlining a misspelled word typed directly after an emoji
34 * Fixed background subagents not waking when their last background Bash task completes
35 * Fixed sessions going silent for 10+ minutes when the Anthropic API never starts a response: the request now times out after \~3 minutes, retries once, then shows `API Error: No response from API`
36 * Fixed auth, model-availability, and other client-generated error messages rendering like model output instead of as error lines
37 * Fixed workload identity federation in CI: processes in one job share the exchanged token instead of re-exchanging the single-use token; a rejected exchange fails fast with the server's message
38 * Fixed server-managed `companyAnnouncements` not showing at startup in a session that began with signing in (for example the first launch after `/logout`)
39 * Fixed hook `if` conditions like `Bash(cat *)` firing on unrelated Bash commands when the command contained `$()` or backtick command substitution followed by more arguments
40 * Fixed plugin dependencies declared with a `marketplace` field never resolving when both plugins are loaded together via `--plugin-dir`
41 * Fixed `/reload-plugins` keeping the LSP tool after the last LSP plugin is disabled; it now also warns before an LSP plugin change that would re-read the conversation
42 * Fixed `--agents` silently ignoring invalid JSON or invalid agent definitions; it now exits with a clear error, like `--mcp-config`
43 * Fixed `/status` showing "Found invalid entries in: ." with no filename when `~/.claude.json` has an invalid MCP server entry
44 * Fixed `/clear` removing the `/rename` session name from the prompt bar even though the name was kept for the new session
45 * Fixed Ctrl+R history search and up-arrow history breaking when `~/.claude/history.jsonl` contains a malformed entry
46 * Fixed Ctrl+\[ not leaving vim INSERT mode in terminals that encode modified keys (modifyOtherKeys / kitty protocol)
47 * Fixed the local IDE connection being routed through `HTTPS_PROXY` (and sometimes failing) when `localhost` was listed in `NO_PROXY` but not lowercase `no_proxy`; both casings are now honored
48 * Fixed sandbox network-violation details being dropped from the Bash tool result when the blocked command still exited 0 (for example `curl` printing the proxy's 403 page)
49 * Fixed the status line `rate_limits` fields and `/usage` still showing a rate-limit window's pre-reset usage percentage after the window reset while the session was idle
50 * Fixed `claude --teleport <session>` exiting on uncommitted changes instead of offering to stash them and continue, as the session picker already does
51 * Fixed `/web-setup` repeatedly asking you to log in when an older GitHub CLI (without `gh auth token`) was already authenticated
52 * Fixed Claude in Chrome losing its connection to Claude Code after an auto-update cleaned up the version it was set up with; the native host now launches via the stable `claude` launcher
53 * \[VSCode] Fixed sessions started before feature flags were first fetched (for example right after install) opening in the default permission mode instead of auto mode or your configured default mode
54 * \[VSCode] Fixed Focus view sections you expanded collapsing on their own during subagent tool activity
55 * Improved startup time: sandbox and MCP bring-up no longer block the first frame, bare launches skip subcommand registration, and workflow discovery, settings, and trust-store work is cheaper
56 * Improved native install and auto-update download size: the binary is now zstd-compressed (about 75 MB instead of 340 MB on Linux x64)
57 * Improved attribution of usage telemetry to your organization for sessions that authenticate with `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` directly against the Anthropic API, so its data-handling settings apply
58 * Improved native binary size: about 2 MB smaller by storing the bundled skill and prompt text more compactly
59 * Improved memory usage of native builds: code is now loaded on demand instead of keeping the whole bundle resident (roughly 40–70 MB less memory per session)
60 * Improved peak memory usage in long-running sessions (the runtime now garbage-collects sooner as the heap grows)
61 * Improved `/login` over SSH: the sign-in URL appears immediately, pressing `c` reports how the URL was copied instead of always claiming success, and a hint explains how to select text in fullscreen
62 * Improved the error when effort `xhigh`/`max` is used with thinking turned off: it now names the level, the setting that disabled thinking, and `/effort high` as the fix
63 * Improved `/loop`: consecutive wake-ups where Claude has nothing to do now fold into a single line in the terminal instead of printing each one
64 * Changed the sandboxed Bash tool prompt to no longer list allowed network hosts, so Claude attempts requests (and you can approve new hosts) instead of assuming unlisted hosts are blocked
65 * Updated the `/model` picker and the bundled `claude-api` skill to show Sonnet 5's $2/$10 per Mtok pricing as its standard list price rather than a limited-time promo
66 * Changed computer use on macOS so clicking the desktop, Dock, or a Finder window requires granting Finder via the access dialog, like any other app
67 * Changed `/model`, `/fast`, and `/effort` to also run immediately instead of queueing until the turn ends on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry and when telemetry is disabled
68 * Fixed `claude remote-control` exiting and stranding attached Remote Control sessions when the server drops its environment mid-session; it now recovers
69 * Fixed Remote Control sessions served by `claude remote-control` sometimes getting stuck after it was stopped and restarted, for Team and Enterprise members without an admin or owner role
70 * Changed the cross-session messaging inbox socket to close connections that send no complete line within 30 seconds; scripts posting to it should connect once their data is ready
71 * Improved the notice when resuming a conversation whose Remote Control is held by another terminal: it now says sessions on other machines can't be seen from, or reach, this one
72 * \[VSCode] Improved history trimming in long sessions: older tool-activity rows are dropped first so your messages and Claude's replies stay visible
73 * \[VSCode] Improved attribution of the extension's own usage telemetry to your organization when you are signed in with a Claude account, so its data-handling settings apply

20592126 * Fixed hooks receiving a non-existent `transcript_path` after `EnterWorktree` switches the working directory
2060 * Fixed markdown tables with cell wrapping falling back to the vertical key-value layout instead of rendering as a bordered grid (regression in 2.1.136)
2061 * Fixed cancelled prompts being removed from Up-arrow history when auto-restored into the input box, avoiding duplicate entries
2062 * Fixed prompts cancelled with Ctrl+C/Esc before any response being dropped from Up-arrow history
2063 * Fixed Ctrl+C not interrupting a running turn while in vim INSERT/VISUAL mode
2064 * Fixed alternative `chat:submit` keybindings (e.g. `meta+enter`, `ctrl+enter`) not working when `enter` is rebound to `chat:newline`

2072 * Fixed pressing Enter after typing a feedback survey rating digit submitting it as a chat message instead of the rating
2073 * Fixed pressing `x` on a selected subagent in the agent panel typing into the prompt instead of stopping the agent
2074 * Fixed session title being derived from plugin monitor notifications before the user's first prompt
2075 * Fixed "Allowed by PermissionRequest hook" repeating once per tool call under a collapsed read/search group
2076 * Fixed `/tui` silently dropping running background shells and subagents — now refuses and asks to wait for them to finish
2077 * Fixed welcome banner showing "API Usage Billing" on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and other third-party providers — now shows the provider name

2096 * \[VSCode] Voice mode: the WSL error now suggests installing `sox libsox-fmt-pulse` for WSLg users
2097 * `claude agents`: launching a session no longer fails when the pre-warmed background worker is unhealthy — now falls back to a fresh launch

2099 * Empty idle background sessions left over from `←` are now automatically retired by the daemon after 5 minutes
2100</Update>
2101
2102<Update label="2.1.140" description="May 12, 2026">
2103 * Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g. `"Code Reviewer"` resolves to `code-reviewer`)
2104 * Updated agent color palette
2105 * Fixed `/goal` silently hanging when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set — now shows a clear message instead of an indicator that never resolves
2106 * Fixed a regression in settings hot-reload where symlinked settings files caused misattributed change events and spurious `ConfigChange` hooks
2107 * Fixed `claude --bg` failing with "connection dropped mid-request" when the background service was about to idle-exit
2108 * Fixed background service startup failing on machines with enterprise endpoint security by allowing more time
2109 * Fixed remote managed settings not retrying on 401 — now retries once with a force-refreshed token
2110 * Fixed managed `extraKnownMarketplaces` auto-update policy not being persisted to `known_marketplaces.json`
2111 * Fixed `/loop` scheduling redundant wakeups to poll for background tasks that already notify on completion
2112 * Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows when a missing executable (e.g. `gh`) triggered synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns on every check
2113 * Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when `offset` is passed as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string
2114 * Fixed native terminal cursor not staying at the input caret when the terminal loses focus
2115 * Plugins now warn when a default component folder (e.g. `commands/`) is silently ignored because `plugin.json` sets the matching key. Shown in `/doctor`, `claude plugin list`, and `/plugin`.
2116</Update>
2117
2118<Update label="2.1.139" description="May 11, 2026">
2119 * Added agent view (Research Preview): a single list of every Claude Code session — running, blocked on you, or done. Run `claude agents` to get started. See [https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view)
2120 * Added `/goal` command: set a completion condition and Claude keeps working across turns until it's met. Works in interactive, `-p`, and Remote Control. Shows live elapsed/turns/tokens as an overlay panel
2121 * Added `/scroll-speed` command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
2122 * Added `claude plugin details <name>` to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
2123 * Added transcript view navigation: `?` for keyboard shortcuts, `{`/`}` to jump between user prompts, `v` to toggle shortcut panel
2124 * Added hook `args: string[]` field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
2125 * Added hook `continueOnBlock` config option for `PostToolUse` — set to `true` to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
2126 * MCP stdio servers now receive `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}` in commands
2127 * Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
2128 * `/mcp` Reconnect now picks up `.mcp.json` edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails
2129 * `/context all` per-skill token estimates now account for the model's tokenizer and show rounded values
2130 * `claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace>` now auto-refreshes the marketplace and retries before reporting a plugin as not found
2131 * `/plugin` installed-plugin details now show hook event names and MCP server names cleanly
2132 * `/context` now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
2133 * Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
2134 * API requests from subagents now carry `x-claude-code-agent-id` / `x-claude-code-parent-agent-id` headers, and `claude_code.llm_request` OTEL spans include `agent_id` / `parent_agent_id` attributes
2135 * Remote Control, `/schedule`, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `apiKeyHelper` / `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is set, even if a Claude.ai login also exists. Unset the API key to use these features
2136 * Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the `forceRemoteSettingsRefresh` policy setting blocked `claude auth login`/`logout`/`status` with no way to recover
2137 * Fixed `autoAllowBashIfSandboxed` not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like `$VAR` and `$(cmd)`
2138 * Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
2139 * Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
2140 * Fixed `Skill(name *)` permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching `Bash(ls *)` behavior
2141 * Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked `~/.claude/settings.json`
2142 * Fixed pl
2127 * Fixed
No line in this hunk matches that.
