# Claude Code v2.1.302

> Claude Code v2.1.302, released 16 Oct 2026 (2026-10-16). 214 entries read out of the shipped bundle. Unofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic.

[Web version](https://changelogs.core-directive.com/v/2.1.302)

A bundled chart plugin now lets Claude draw charts right in the transcript. It also charts metrics from MCP tools automatically, and the Auto charts switch in /config controls that. You can now turn off fork mode with the new forkSubagentDisabled setting. Setting includeUnsupportedModels to true lists models that Claude Code would normally hide. With claude remote-control, a cloud session can now ask to use a folder on your computer through a consent card. Programs that launch claude mcp serve can set CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_SERVE_WORKSPACE_ROOT so only folders below one root can be registered.

Several features are in this build but are not switched on yet. Groundwork for a hybrid sign-in mode now sits in Claude Code's sign-in state. There is also early work on asking your organization for approval. A marker that would let MCP tool results respect stop hooks is in place but hard-wired off. A new remote switch, off by default, would add a folder prompt option and a check on malformed permission requests.

Skills that come from plugins can now be switched off with the skillOverrides setting. Organization-level overrides are checked too. The resume picker now shows an error instead of quitting when some sessions fail to load. Passing --help to claude remote-control now prints its help instead of starting a session. Parked MCP tasks now survive an error instead of being shut down. When Claude Code runs as an MCP server, it can no longer fork subagents.
