LSP Plugin Recommendations#

What

Automatic recommendations for LSP plugins based on files you're working with, with one-click installation.

Usage: When you open a file type that could benefit from LSP support, a prompt offers to install a matching plugin:

LSP Plugin Recommendation
─────────────────────────
Plugin: typescript-lsp
Triggered by: .ts files

Would you like to install this LSP plugin?
> Yes, install typescript-lsp
  No, not now
  Never for typescript-lsp
  Disable all LSP recommendations
Details
  • Checks if required binary exists before recommending
  • Prioritizes official marketplace plugins
  • Remembers "never suggest" preferences per plugin
  • Auto-disables after 3 consecutive ignored recommendations
  • 28-second timeout before auto-dismissing
Evidence

y29() at line 472686 (recommendation lookup, contains "[lspRecommendation]" logging), g29() at line 472891 (UI component with "LSP Plugin Recommendation" title)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Terminal Keybinding Setup: Kitty, Alacritty, Zed, and Warp#

What

/terminal-setup now supports configuring Shift+Enter keybindings for Kitty, Alacritty, Zed terminals, plus guidance for Warp.

Usage
claude
> /terminal-setup
Details
  • Kitty: Adds map shift+enter send_text all \e\r to ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
  • Alacritty: Adds keyboard binding to ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
  • Zed: Adds Terminal context binding to ~/.config/zed/keymap.json
  • Warp: Provides manual configuration instructions (Warp doesn't support custom Shift+Enter)
  • Creates backups before modifying existing configs
  • Warns if existing Shift+Enter binding conflicts
Evidence

NB3() at line 196977 (Kitty installer, contains "Installed Kitty Shift+Enter key binding"), LB3() at line 197031 (Alacritty installer), MB3() at line 197098 (Zed installer), OB3() at line 197093 (Warp guidance)

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.

Plugin Install Count Caching#

What

Plugin marketplace now caches install counts for faster browsing.

Details
  • Caches are stored in the plugins config directory
  • 24-hour cache expiry to keep data reasonably fresh
  • Improves plugin browser responsiveness
Evidence

RG7() at line 507573 (cache reader with "Install counts cache" messages)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Large Git Diff Performance Optimization#

When working with large diffs (>500 files changed), Claude Code now uses git diff --shortstat first to quickly determine file counts before fetching full diff details. This prevents timeouts on very large changesets.

Evidence

ks5() at line 448558 (parses shortstat format with filesCount, linesAdded, linesRemoved), modified Pl2() at line 448405 (uses Ps5 = 500 threshold)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Process Substitution Security Check#

Bash commands using process substitution (>(...) or <(...)) now require manual approval, as these can execute arbitrary commands that bypass normal validation.

Evidence

Modified gX1() at line 412086 (contains "Process substitution (>(...) or <(...)) can execute arbitrary commands and requires manual approval")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

MCP Tool Token Tracking Improvements#

Token counting for MCP tools now tracks which tools are actually loaded vs. deferred, providing more accurate context budget reporting when tool search is enabled.

Evidence

jyA() at line 402721 (returns mcpToolTokens, deferredToolTokens, loadedMcpToolNames)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Queued Message Preview Improvements#

The UI for queued messages now displays a more compact preview with better layout handling.

Evidence

Bt2() at line 463428 (queued message container with isQueued context)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Bug Fixesopen

#

  • Fixed thinking trigger word highlighting in user messages to properly segment text around trigger locations (oF0() at line 405859, $o2() at line 452842)

Teammate/Swarm Feature Removed#

The experimental teammate/swarm functionality has been completely removed from this release. This includes:

  • TeammateTool and all spawn/assignTask operations
  • TeammateMailbox communication system
  • Swarm permission polling
  • Plan mode swarm launching options
  • CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_ID environment variable handling for teammates

If you were using the swarm feature, this functionality is no longer available. The agent/subagent system (Task tool) remains available as the supported method for multi-agent workflows.

Evidence

203 removed functions/variables related to teammate functionality, including TeammateMailbox, TeammateTool, swarm operations

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Notesopen

#

The teammate/swarm feature was an experimental capability for spawning multiple Claude instances in tmux panes. Its removal simplifies the codebase and focuses multi-agent workflows on the Task tool's subagent system, which provides a more controlled approach to parallelizing work.
