Claude Code v1.0.61

Enhanced Clipboard Integration for macOS

• Improved image paste handling: The CLI now includes better support for pasting images from the clipboard on macOS
• Screenshot detection: Automatically detects when users paste screenshots (e.g., from macOS screenshot tool) and handles them appropriately
• Clipboard polling: Added a 50ms polling mechanism to check for clipboard images when paste events are detected

Flag Settings Support

• New settings type: Added flagSettings as a new configuration type alongside existing settings (userSettings, projectSettings, localSettings, policySettings)
• Flag settings path management: New functions to get and set the flag settings path:

  # The CLI now supports flag-based configuration settings
  # These are separate from user/project/local settings

Better Command Injection Protection

• Enhanced stdin handling: Improved protection against command injection by adding < /dev/null to piped commands
• Smart command parsing: The CLI now intelligently detects pipe operators and adds null input redirection to prevent unintended stdin reading
• Backtick handling: Special handling for commands containing backticks to ensure proper escaping

Symlink Resolution

• File operations now follow symlinks: When reading files, the CLI now resolves symlinks and logs when reading through them
• Better error handling: Gracefully handles cases where symlink resolution fails

Installation Detection Improvements

• Native installation PATH checking: For native installations, the CLI now checks if ~/.local/bin is in your PATH and provides specific instructions if it's missing
• Windows-specific PATH handling: Added proper path separator handling for Windows environments
• Better diagnostics: More detailed error messages when installation issues are detected

Hook Display Filtering

• Fixed duplicate hook messages: Tool progress messages now properly filter out "running_hook" type messages to prevent duplication
• Cleaner output: Hook status messages are now displayed separately from tool progress

Settings File Handling

• Flag settings exclusion: The flagSettings type is now properly excluded from certain write operations (similar to policySettings)
• Improved validation: Better error handling when reading and parsing settings files

Code Organization

• Stream imports consolidated: Replaced multiple stream imports with PassThrough imports from both node:stream and stream
• Function refactoring: Several internal functions were restructured for better maintainability
• Async operations: Installation detection functions now use async/await pattern instead of synchronous execution

Environment Variable Handling

• New helper function: Added X$2() to parse boolean environment variables, recognizing "0", "false", "no", and "off" as false values

• The paste handling mechanism now includes references to whether content was pasted vs typed
• Installation type detection is more robust and provides actionable feedback
• The CLI maintains backward compatibility while adding these new features
