Claude Code v2.1.242

Computer-use app tools: torrent clients blocked, screenshot scale factor, shared allowlist wording

You'll notice
Useful2 Signal2
Computer Use

Torrent clients are now refused for computer use, and allowlist wording is shared across click actions.

What

The list of application bundle IDs Claude Code refuses to drive gained torrent clients such as qBittorrent. Screenshots gained a scale factor whose description stresses that coordinates stay in the full-resolution frame, and the sentence about the frontmost application needing to be in the session allowlist is now one shared fragment reused across click, double-click, triple-click, middle-click, key, scroll, drag and move.

Details
  • app permissioning moved from a flat list of allowed apps to a grants object, queried through isEmpty() and captureAllowedBundleIds
  • which of these tools you see still depends on the computer-use surface being available to your session
Evidence

"org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent"

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

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
