# Claude Code v2.1.291

> Claude Code v2.1.291, released 6 Oct 2026 (2026-10-06). 9 entries read out of the shipped bundle. Unofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic.

[Web version](https://changelogs.core-directive.com/v/2.1.291)

Session transcripts now load in a single pass again when you resume, without pausing or retrying. Claude Code no longer stops partway to let the interface catch up. It also no longer starts the read over when the file is rewritten during loading. On very large sessions, the screen may stall briefly while the transcript loads.

Live cost and token updates during a turn are now tied to a server setting, but this is not switched on yet. It affects print mode and SDK sessions. These updates only run if the server sends a reporting interval. When no interval is set, the mid-turn updates are skipped.

Background task output links are now fixed up correctly after a session moves to another folder. Claude Code repoints those links only when the move actually worked. It also uses the right paths when it does. One kind of failed session load is no longer reported as an unreadable transcript. That error now goes through the general error handling instead.
