## Changes

# Claude Code v0.2.96 Changelog

### Data Sharing and Development Partner Program

- **Development Partner Program Integration**: Organizations enrolled in the Development Partner Program now have their Claude Code sessions shared with Anthropic for service improvement and model training
- New UI components display enrollment status and information
- First-time users see a detailed message about data sharing
- Subsequent sessions show a condensed enrollment indicator
- Links to support documentation and admin settings included

### Cost Discounts for Partner Organizations

- **Discounted API Pricing**: Organizations in the Development Partner Program receive automatic cost reductions:
- 90% discount on input tokens
- 9% discount on prompt cache read tokens
- Additional 12.5% discount on prompt cache write tokens
- Applies to first-party Anthropic models only

### Rule-Based File Access Control

- **Granular Permission Rules**: New pattern-based permission system for file operations
- Support for glob patterns to allow/deny file access
- Separate rules for read vs edit operations
- Pattern prefixes:
- `//` - Relative to root directory
- `~/` - Relative to user's home directory
- `/` - Relative to configured scope (project, user settings, etc.)

**Example usage**

`# Deny all access to sensitive files
claude code --deny-read "//etc/**" --deny-edit "~/.ssh/**"

# Allow specific directories
claude code --allow-read "/src/**" --allow-edit "/docs/*.md"`

### Ignore Patterns Integration

- File ignore patterns from project settings now properly integrated with the permission system
- Automatic merging of ignore patterns with permission rules

### Database Repair Mechanism

- **Automatic SQLite Recovery**: If the conversation database fails to open, Claude Code now:

- Detects the corruption
- Automatically rebuilds the better-sqlite3 native module
- Retries the connection
- Provides user feedback during the repair process

### OAuth Scope Changes

- **Always Request Full Permissions**: The `user:inference` scope is now always included in OAuth requests, regardless of environment
- Simplified authentication flow with consistent permission requests

### Stream Handling

- Fixed missing stream import that could cause issues with certain operations
- Added proper PassThrough stream support for improved data handling

### Permission Context Management

- Migrated from React state-based permission context to Recoil atoms for better state management
- Ensures permission context persists correctly across component updates

### File System Operations

- Better handling of relative vs absolute paths in permission checks

### Domain Whitelist for WebFetch

- Removed the hardcoded whitelist of allowed domains for web fetching
- WebFetch tool no longer restricts domains to a predefined list
- Security note removed about domain restrictions

### Deprecated Functions

- Removed several internal utility functions related to the old permission system
- Cleaned up unused domain validation logic

### Cache Management

- Added comprehensive cache clearing function (`k10`) that clears all tool caches
- Improves memory management during long sessions

### Model Cost Tracking

- Enhanced cost calculation to apply partner discounts dynamically
- Added telemetry for discount application

### UI Components

- New React components for data sharing notifications
- Improved styling and user messaging for partner program features
