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 v2.1.228

A failed terminal layout no longer takes down the frame

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal1
Terminal UI

A rendering error now retries once and drops a single frame instead of crashing your session.

What

When the layout engine throws while measuring the terminal UI, Claude Code now clears its cached layout for the whole tree and retries once. If the retry works the frame draws normally; if it throws again that single frame is dropped and the session carries on instead of crashing. This is in the normal render path for everyone on this build, not behind a flag.

Details
  • Each distinct fault message is reported to error tracking at most once, plus a one-shot report when faults keep recurring across many consecutive frames.
  • Warn-level debug lines for these faults are capped.
Evidence

ink layout pass threw; immediate re-layout also threw, frame dropped

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