What
The embedded build constants now report 2.1.234, built 2026-08-17T01:20:38Z, replacing 2.1.233 built 2026-08-14T17:21:48Z, along with a new commit hash. Nothing behaves differently; these are the strings the CLI prints about itself.
Details
The version string is what claude --version reports and what crash reports carry.
The same values feed update notices, the warning shown when the background daemon and the CLI report different versions, and the minimum-version error raised by Remote Control.
