# Claude Code v2.1.315

> Claude Code v2.1.315, released 30 Oct 2026 (2026-10-30). 237 entries read out of the shipped bundle. Unofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic.

[Web version](https://changelogs.core-directive.com/v/2.1.315)

Admins running the bundled gateway can now set one shared monthly spending limit for a whole access group. The new `blockReadsExemptPaths` setting lists folders Claude Code may still read when reads outside your working directories are blocked. Claude Code can now publish an artifact as a Claude doc. It also reports whether a lasting subscription to that doc's updates was set up. In Cowork, the loops Claude Code starts no longer receive your memory. A hidden `--gateway-json` option on `claude auth login` lets the VS Code extension handle Cloud gateway sign-in.

Several features are in the build but not switched on yet. Remote sessions can track and resend conversation lines they still owe after a restart, but only when this is switched on remotely. Files uploaded to a project can be attached as text context, behind a flag that defaults to off. Claude Code can list MCP server requests that are waiting for your input, also behind an off-by-default flag. Long Bash output previews can keep both the start and the end, with the full text saved to a file. Numbered menus can be set to wait for Enter instead of picking after a short pause.

File searches no longer hang when ripgrep fails to exit after a timeout. Stray connections can no longer knock you off a background session. Sending a message immediately no longer cuts off an automatic compaction that is in progress. Resuming a copied session no longer shows a stray cut-off tool call. When Claude Code runs as a tool server, a settings file that fails to load no longer drops its permission rules. Shell snapshots now save your aliases in a case where they used to save nothing.
