Claude Code v0.2.14

Dynamic Terminal Detection

Claude Code now automatically detects your terminal environment using the new BA4() function. This provides better shell integration by recognizing:

• Popular terminals (iTerm, Alacritty, Kitty, GNOME Terminal, Windows Terminal, etc.)
• Terminal multiplexers (tmux, screen)
• SSH sessions
• WSL environments
• Non-interactive contexts

Enhanced Shell Support

• Expanded shell compatibility: Now supports multiple shell paths:
• /bin/bash and /usr/bin/bash
• /bin/zsh and /usr/bin/zsh
• /bin/sh
• Automatic shell discovery: If your SHELL environment variable isn't set or points to an invalid shell, Claude Code will automatically find a suitable shell from the supported list
• Better error messages: Clear error when no suitable Unix shell environment is found

User Preferences Support

• Global user configuration: Claude Code now reads from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for user-specific preferences that aren't checked into the codebase
• Hierarchical configuration: Combines project-specific CLAUDE.md files with global user preferences

Message of the Day (MOTD)

• New Tp1() component displays customizable messages from the server
• Supports color theming to match your terminal color scheme

Shell Process Management

• Better error tracking: The persistent shell now captures recent stdout/stderr (up to 10KB) for debugging when the shell exits unexpectedly
• Enhanced diagnostics: Shell exit events now include more context:
• Working directory at time of exit
• Queue length and execution state
• Recent output for troubleshooting
• Safer cleanup: Improved error handling when cleaning up temporary files during shell exit

Error Reporting

• Stack trace enhancement: Sentry error reports now include original stack traces in a more readable format
• Better error context: Shell write errors now include recent stdout/stderr for debugging

Theme System

• New "remember" color: Added to all color themes for better visual distinction of remembered/saved items

Code Quality

• Type safety: Better path resolution with new xA9() and cA9() functions for tool path validation
• Resource management: Improved cleanup of file descriptors and temporary files
• Error boundaries: More robust error handling throughout the shell execution pipeline

• Fixed potential race conditions in shell process management
• Improved handling of shell crashes during command execution
• Better validation of file paths before operations
• More reliable shell availability checks before writing commands

None - this release maintains backward compatibility with v0.2.9.
