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 v2.1.222

Version bumped to 2.1.222

Under the hood
Useful1 Signal0
Elsewhere

The version number moves to 2.1.222, which is what you'll see in /status and --version.

/status--version
What

The embedded build-metadata blocks move to 2.1.222 with a fresh build time and git sha.

Details
  • VERSION goes from 2.1.221 to 2.1.222 across all four embedded copies of the version banner.
  • BUILD_TIME is 2026-08-04T01:24:05Z, with a new GIT_SHA.
  • This accounts for the bulk of changed strings in this area: user-agent strings, /status, --version, updater messages and telemetry payloads.
Evidence

BUILD_TIME: "2026-08-04T01:24:05Z", "2.1.222"

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