DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.218

  • Observer arm/retire lifecycle fixed: the system now correctly stops observer tasks that are tied to worker subagents when the main agent loop closes, preventing orphaned background observers (search for "agent_observer_stop")
  • API key verification no longer forces thinkingConfig: { type: "disabled" }, fixing verification failures on accounts configured with always-on extended thinking
  • org-memory discovery mount-name collision handling improved: when a derived mount name conflicts with an existing entry pointing to a different path, the existing entry is renamed aside with _discovered suffix rather than silently skipped (search for "discovered config squatting the derived mount name")
  • MCP elicitation pending-count tracking corrected: pendingElicitations counter and lastElicitationClosedAt timestamp are now maintained consistently through all elicitation paths including hook-resolved responses
  • Windows path handling in WSL: when running under WSL without USERPROFILE set, IDE config paths are now correctly converted from Windows C:\... form to /mnt/c/... WSL paths (search for "Nzr" function handling Windows-to-WSL path conversion)
