What
The build stamp moves from 2.1.243 to 2.1.245. Nothing else in this area changed.
Details
Build time is now 2026-08-25T04:00:18Z, up from 2026-08-24T21:05:22Z.
The version string is copied into every place that reports it: the CLI version output, the claude-code/ and claude-cli/ user-agent strings, update and downgrade messages, daemon start logs, and the SDK binary-version response.
Around 110 of the 118 changes in this group are the same constant repeated across bundled modules, so this release carries almost no other code change here.
