Claude Code v2.1.226 is a maintenance release. The only change in this build is the version bump itself, from 2.1.225 to 2.1.226. There are no new features, bug fixes, or behavior changes for users, and no action is required when upgrading. If you are already on 2.1.225, you can update at your convenience.

## Internal Changes

### Version bump to 2.1.226

The version number ticks up to 2.1.226; nothing else changes.

**What**

The build-constant stamp is rewritten: VERSION moves from 2.1.225 to 2.1.226, BUILD_TIME from 2026-08-07T19:37:58Z to 2026-08-08T00:42:40Z, and GIT_SHA to e140b3281c1e8d834468889bd0a5c3fd2f15507c. Nothing changes beyond the reported version.

**Details**

- The constant is inlined at every use site, so all 52 changes in this group are the same object re-stamped.
- Visible in the startup banner, `--version` output, the `Current version:` line in the update flow, and the update/downgrade console messages.
- Sent in the `claude-code/` and `claude-cli/` User-Agent strings and in the `x-environment-runner-version` header, where it is prefixed `shr-`.
- Also drives the daemon-vs-CLI mismatch warning, the /doctor and feedback reports, the SDK `get_binary_version` control response, the npm update check's `npm view <package>@<tag> version` call, the Datadog sourcemap group identifiers, and the version field on numerous telemetry events.
- Not gated; everyone on this build sees it.

**Evidence**

`x-environment-runner-version`, `VERSION: "2.1.226"`
