• EnterWorktree can now switch between Claude-managed worktrees mid-session

• tool_decision telemetry events now include tool_parameters (bash commands, MCP/skill names) when OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1

• Worktrees managed by Claude are now left unlocked when the agent finishes, so git worktree remove/prune can clean them up

• Fixed sandbox network permission prompts appearing in auto and bypass-permissions mode when using the desktop app, IDE extensions, or SDK

• Fixed claude agents completed sessions not retiring when an idle subagent was still parked or had leaked a backgrounded shell

• Fixed claude agents pressing Esc not cancelling a slow "opening…", leaving the list unresponsive

• Fixed the --resume session picker leaving its contents on the terminal after exiting in fullscreen mode

• Fixed --worktree and --worktree --tmux returning to the canonical repo root instead of the current linked worktree

• Fixed the /model picker showing an incorrect "Newer version available" hint when the selected model is already the newest in its family; the pinned-model row now shows the model's description instead of its raw ID

2026-05-29T01:42:17Z

• Fixed an issue when using Opus 4.8 where thinking blocks were modified, leading to API errors.

Claude Code v2.1.154

2026-05-28T18:00:47Z

• Opus 4.8 is here! Now defaults to high effort · /effort xhigh for your hardest tasks

• Introducing dynamic workflows: ask Claude to create a workflow and it orchestrates work across tens to hundreds of agents in the background, so you can take on larger, more complex tasks. Run /workflows to view your runs

• Fast mode on Opus 4.8 is now available at a fraction of its previous cost: 2x the standard rate for 2.5x the speed

• The lean system prompt is now the default for all models except Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus 4.7 and earlier

• Claude now reserves the multiple-choice question prompt for decisions it genuinely cannot make itself, instead of asking when it already has enough context to proceed

• /simplify now runs a cleanup-only review (reuse, simplification, efficiency, altitude) and applies the fixes, instead of running the full /code-review --fix bug-hunting review

• Renamed the /effort slider labels from "Speed"/"Intelligence" to "Faster"/"Smarter" for clarity

• claude agents: type ! <command> to run a shell command as a background session you can attach to and detach from. Also available as claude --bg --exec '<command>'

• claude agents: /logout now signs you out instead of being sent to a background session

• ←← to open the agents view now works on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and with telemetry disabled

• Claude in Chrome: pick which connected browser to use via /chrome → "Select browser…", or in-chat when a browser action runs with multiple connected

• Plugins can now declare defaultEnabled: false in plugin.json or a marketplace entry; enable them with /plugin or claude plugin enable. Dependencies of enabled plugins are still enabled automatically

• The /plugin Discover tab now pins plugins whose relevance signals match the current directory with a "suggested for this directory" annotation

• Streaming tool execution is now always enabled, including when telemetry is disabled or on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry (previously behind a feature flag)

• Stdio MCP server subprocesses now receive CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID and CLAUDECODE=1 in their environment

• claude mcp list/get now show unapproved .mcp.json servers as ⏸ Pending approval instead of auto-approving and connecting when output is piped

• /remote-control autocomplete now shows "Disconnect Remote Control" when Remote Control is already active

• Added Claude Opus 4.8 support and 4.7 → 4.8 migration guidance to the /claude-api skill

• Deprecated CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE (will be removed on 06/01). To use fast mode on Opus 4.6, switch with /model claude-opus-4-6[1m] and then /fast on

• Improved the auto-mode classifier's detection of data exfiltration, particularly bulk transfers of repository contents

• Fixed rm -rf $HOME not being blocked as a dangerous path when HOME has a trailing slash

• Fixed $TMPDIR resolving to different directories in sandboxed vs unsandboxed Bash commands within the same session

• Fixed unreadable highlighted-row text in claude agents when the Claude Code theme doesn't match the terminal background

• Fixed background-agent completion notifications triggering premature "out of context" behavior on some 1M-context models

• Fixed background-session classifier losing the user's goal when a scheduled /command fires

• Fixed pinned background sessions respawning every minute after a Claude Code update, causing repeated agent-start notifications and process churn at idle

• Fixed background sessions stuck at "blocked", "running", or "working" not retiring after the idle grace period

• Fixed subagents in background sessions bypassing the worktree-isolation guard and writing to the shared checkout

• Fixed orphaned claude --bg-pty-host processes spinning at 100% CPU after the daemon exits on macOS

• Fixed number key shortcuts not working for options shown below the divider in option dialogs

• Fixed worktree.baseRef: "head" resolving to the main checkout's HEAD instead of the current worktree's HEAD when spawning subagents or calling EnterWorktree from inside a linked worktree

• Fixed a stray leading space on wrapped lines when the previous line ended exactly at the terminal width

• Fixed intermittent terminal rendering corruption in VS Code by capping the number of distinct colors the thinking spinner produces

• Fixed plan file names including [Image #N] / [Pasted text #N] placeholders when a plan-mode prompt starts with pasted images or text

• Fixed a phantom expand/click affordance on colored tool output: short ANSI-colored lines that fit on screen no longer show a "ctrl+o to expand" hint

• Fixed a single invalid allowedMcpServers/deniedMcpServers entry in managed settings discarding all managed-settings policy; the bad entry is now dropped with a claude doctor warning

• Fixed API 400 errors on models that don't support the effort parameter when CLAUDE_CODE_ALWAYS_ENABLE_EFFORT is set

• Windows: Fixed update failures caused by claude.exe being in use showing a generic error instead of telling you to close other sessions and retry

• Removed the stale "& for background" hint from the shortcuts help panel

• [VSCode] Auto mode no longer requires the bypass-permissions setting to appear in the mode picker, and a dismissable notice on the new-session screen explains auto mode the first time it's active

• Fixed the task panel below the prompt showing a stray unselectable "main" row when only a workflow is running

• Fixed /mcp tools list and tool detail rendering when MCP servers have long or multi-line tool names or long descriptions

• Fixed the /model picker not showing fast mode pricing on the Default option for API (pay-as-you-go) users when fast mode is on

• Fixed auto mode incorrectly blocking actions with "could not evaluate this action" when the safety classifier ran out of output tokens while reasoning

• Fixed claude --help rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns

• Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view

• [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers

• /model now saves your selection as the default for new sessions (matching the IDE). Press s in the picker to switch models for the current session only.

• If you customized the modelPicker:setAsDefault keybinding, rename it to modelPicker:thisSessionOnly in keybindings.json (the d action was replaced by s)

Claude Code v2.1.152

2026-05-27T01:30:52Z

• /code-review --fix now applies review findings to your working tree after the review, surfacing reuse, simplification, and efficiency suggestions; /simplify now invokes /code-review --fix

• Skills and slash commands can now set disallowed-tools in frontmatter to remove tools from the model while the skill is active

• Added /reload-skills command to re-scan skill directories without restarting the session

• SessionStart hooks can now return reloadSkills: true to re-scan skill directories, making skills installed by the hook available in the same session

• SessionStart hooks can now set the session title via hookSpecificOutput.sessionTitle on startup and resume

• Added a MessageDisplay hook event that lets hooks transform or hide assistant message text as it is displayed

• Added pluginSuggestionMarketplaces managed setting: admins can allowlist org marketplaces whose plugins may be suggested via context-aware tips

• claude plugin marketplace remove now accepts --scope user|project|local for symmetry with marketplace add, install, and uninstall

• Claude Code now switches to your configured --fallback-model for the rest of the session when the primary model is not found, instead of failing every request

• Auto mode no longer requires opt-in consent

• Vim mode: / in NORMAL mode now opens reverse history search (like Ctrl+R), matching bash/zsh vi-mode

• The /usage breakdown now includes large session files; files are scanned with a streaming read so memory usage stays flat

• Thinking summaries in the collapsed group now stay readable for at least 3 seconds, render as markdown, and cap at 10 lines (Ctrl+O shows the full thinking)

• In fullscreen mode, the "Thinking for Ns" indicator now counts up live while the model is thinking, and keeps its value if you interrupt mid-thought

• Simplified the Workflow tool's inline progress display — live agent counts now show only in the persistent workflow status row below the prompt

• The post-response timer now shows "Waiting for N background agents/workflows to finish" when backgrounded agents or workflows are still running, and reports the cumulative time once their results are processed

• Added the session entrypoint as an OpenTelemetry metric attribute (app.entrypoint, opt-in via OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_ENTRYPOINT=true)

• Fixed terminal styling degrading in very long sessions by recycling the renderer's style pool

• Fixed the sandbox-enabled warning not appearing in condensed startup mode — it now shows in every layout

• Fixed plugin MCP servers with the same command but different environment variables being incorrectly deduplicated

• Fixed /doctor reporting "marketplace not found" or "plugin not found" for stale enabledPlugins entries referencing removed marketplaces or dropped plugins

• Fixed plugins that track a git branch silently no longer receiving updates after the plugin registry was rebuilt

• Fixed the Agent tool description referencing an agent list that is never delivered when running with --bare or with attachments disabled

• Fixed a background worker crash in claude agents when accepting a stale permission prompt after a subagent was cancelled

• Fixed cache_creation_input_tokens reporting as 0 in transcript and result usage when the API reports cache writes only via the nested cache_creation breakdown

• Fixed the PushNotification tool incorrectly reporting "Mobile push not sent (Remote Control inactive)" in SDK-hosted sessions when Remote Control is enabled

• Fixed sessions getting stuck after a model or login switch left stale thinking-block signatures in history; now stripped proactively with a retry safety-net

Claude Code v2.1.150

2026-05-23T04:03:45Z

• Internal infrastructure improvements (no user-facing changes)

Claude Code v2.1.149

2026-05-22T22:09:22Z

• /usage now shows a per-category breakdown of what's driving your limits usage — skills, subagents, plugins, and per-MCP-server cost

• /diff detail view can now be scrolled with the keyboard (arrows, j/k, PgUp/PgDn, Space, Home/End)

• Markdown output now renders GFM task list checkboxes (- [ ] todo / - [x] done) instead of plain bullets

• Enterprise: added the allowAllClaudeAiMcps managed setting to load claude.ai cloud MCP connectors alongside managed-mcp.json

• Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass: built-in cd functions (cd.., cd\, cd~, X:) changed the working directory undetected, letting a later command read outside the workspace

• Fixed the sandbox write allowlist in git worktrees covering the entire main repository root instead of only the shared .git directory (with hooks/ and config denied)

• Fixed PowerShell prefix/wildcard allow rules (e.g. PowerShell(dotnet.exe build *)) not pre-approving native executables and scripts

• Fixed a permission-analysis gap where the parser trusted stale variable-tracking values for PWD/OLDPWD/DIRSTACK across cd/pushd/popd

• Fixed find in the Bash tool exhausting the macOS system file/vnode table and crashing the host on large directory trees

• Fixed the managed-settings approval dialog leaving the terminal frozen after accepting at startup

• Fixed /ultraplan and remote session creation failing with "Could not capture uncommitted changes" when the working tree has no real changes

• Fixed otelHeadersHelper failing silently when the script path contains spaces; helper failures are now reported in /doctor and the debug log

• Fixed collapsed Bash output reporting the wrong hidden-line count for outputs with many short lines

• Fixed slash-command argument-hint clipping trailing typed characters when the hint overflows the input box

• Fixed argument-hint and progressive arg suggestions not appearing after Tab-completing a skill whose frontmatter name: differs from its directory basename

• Fixed the status bar showing the user's baseline /effort setting instead of the effort level applied by skill/agent effort: frontmatter

• Fixed Ctrl+O transcript view freezing at the moment it was opened instead of tailing new messages

• Fixed editing a recalled prompt-history entry losing the edit when navigating further up/down with arrow keys

• Fixed /config exit summary reporting phantom changes to auto-compact and theme when toggling unrelated settings

• Fixed /insights crashing when cached session-meta files are missing optional fields

• Fixed a race where a just-submitted prompt could appear twice in the up-arrow history

• Fixed tapping the "Jump to bottom" pill in fullscreen mode not dismissing it immediately

• Improved /feedback reports to include the conversation that happened before context compaction, making issues from earlier in long sessions easier to triage

Claude Code v2.1.148

2026-05-22T01:16:46Z

• Fixed the Bash tool returning exit code 127 on every command for some users (a regression introduced in 2.1.147)

Claude Code v2.1.147

2026-05-21T20:39:15Z

• Pinned background sessions (Ctrl+T in claude agents) now stay alive when idle, are restarted in place to apply Claude Code updates, and are shed under memory pressure only after non-pinned sessions

• Renamed /simplify to /code-review. It now reports correctness bugs at a chosen effort level (e.g., /code-review high); pass --comment to post findings as inline GitHub PR comments. The old cleanup-and-fix behavior has been removed

• Improved auto-updater: retries transient network failures, reports specific error categories and OS error codes on failure, and shows the current version when an update fails

• Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits

• Prompt history no longer records consecutive duplicate entries — recalling a prompt with arrow-up and submitting it again won't add another copy

• Fixed enterprise login restrictions (forceLoginOrgUUID and forceLoginMethod managed-settings) not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions

• Fixed & in ! command output displaying as &, which broke copy-pasting URLs from commands like gcloud auth login on headless machines

• Fixed unknown slash commands silently doing nothing in headless/SDK mode — they now show an error message

• Fixed /help rendering a broken tab header and showing only one command per page on small terminals when not in fullscreen mode

• Fixed shell snapshot dropping user functions whose names start with a single underscore, which broke aliases referencing them

• Fixed plugin agents that declare multiple Agent(...) types in tools: frontmatter dropping all but the last entry

• Fixed hook if conditions like PowerShell(git push*) never matching — only PowerShell(*) worked

• Fixed PowerShell tool dropping output for commands that rely on the default formatter

• Fixed: on Windows, "Yes, and don't ask again" for a PowerShell script invocation now writes a rule that actually matches on subsequent runs

• Fixed PowerShell tool failing on Windows with exit code 1 when pwsh is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store

• Fixed /effort opening with the slider on the wrong level — it now starts at your current effort

• Fixed paginating MCP servers dropping resources, templates, and prompts past page 1

• Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming

• Fixed: on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo

• Fixed /background refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command

• Fixed auto mode suppressing AskUserQuestion when the user or a skill explicitly relies on it; the auto-mode classifier now sees the user's answers as intent signal

• Fixed /theme "New custom theme" and color editor dialogs not responding to Esc

• Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK

• Fixed a rare hang when waiting for scroll to settle on Windows

• Fixed stale and doubled rows in the agent view list on Windows when background session results contain wide (CJK) characters

• Fixed plugin component counts in claude plugin details and /plugin being doubled when a plugin's manifest listed paths overlapping its default directories

• Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"

• Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text

• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL not applying to teammate processes spawned by agent teams

• Fixed slash commands followed by a tab or newline being treated as an unknown command

• Fixed several spacing and layout glitches in the /plugin, /status, /mobile, /sandbox, and /permissions menus

• Fixed stripped images prompting the model to repeatedly re-read media that was no longer present

Claude Code v2.1.145

2026-05-19T21:31:01Z

• Added claude agents --json to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)

• Added agent_id and parent_agent_id attributes to claude_code.tool OTEL spans, and fixed trace parenting so background subagent spans nest under the dispatching Agent tool span

• Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected

• /plugin Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation

• claude agents terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention

• Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode

• Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes background_tasks and session_crons fields

• Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved

• Fixed MCP prompt slash commands showing raw server validation errors when a required argument is omitted — the error now names the missing argument and shows expected usage

• Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused

• Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses ; as the command separator

• Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane

• Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once

• Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed

• Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding

• Fixed /review using a deprecated projectCards GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects

• Fixed claude plugin validate not flagging skills: entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory

• Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using context: fork could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running

• Improved the Read tool to return a truncated first page with a "PARTIAL view" notice instead of a hard error when a whole-file read exceeds the token limit

Claude Code v2.1.144

2026-05-19T00:48:45Z

• Added /resume support for background sessions — sessions started via claude --bg or agent view now appear alongside interactive ones, marked with bg

• Added elapsed duration to background subagent completion notifications (e.g. "Agent completed · 3h 2m 5s")

• The /plugin browse and discover panes now show when a plugin was last updated

• /model now changes the model for the current session only; press d in the model picker to set a default for new sessions

• Renamed "extra usage" to "usage credits" across CLI copy; /extra-usage is now /usage-credits (old name still works)

• Fixed startup hanging up to 75s when api.anthropic.com is unreachable (captive portal, firewall, VPN issues) — side-channel API calls now time out after 15s

• Fixed garbled terminal output after a missed window-resize event (e.g. dragging a VS Code split-pane divider) — now self-heals on the next frame instead of requiring Ctrl+L

• Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) that could appear in very long sessions and only cleared on terminal resize or restart

• Reduced terminal rendering glitches in VS Code by reducing spinner animation color count

• Fixed macOS background sessions crashing with "exit 1 before init" when the project lives under a Full Disk Access-protected folder (regression in 2.1.143)

• Fixed an unrecoverable conversation when reading a file whose image extension doesn't match its contents (e.g. HTML saved as .png) — now falls back to text

• Fewer spurious tool errors during search: head/tail file views now satisfy the read-before-edit check, and a "no matches" result (exit code 1) from egrep, fgrep, git grep, or git diff is no longer reported as a command failure

• Fixed /branch failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions

• Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection

• Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or applyFlagSettings after startup

• Resumed sessions now keep the model they were using instead of picking up another session's /model choice

• Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the /model picker (regression in v2.1.129)

• Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with forceLoginMethod and forceLoginOrgUUID set

• Fixed MCP servers with paginated tools/list responses only returning the first page, silently dropping tools

• Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation — now saved to disk and referenced in the tool result

• Fixed file descriptor exhaustion when a build runs inside a skill directory — non-.md files no longer trigger skill reloads

• Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt

• Fixed Skill tool failing with permission error in headless mode (regression in v2.1.141)

• Fixed plugins enabled in your own settings showing "not cached" errors after first load on a fresh machine; plugins enabled only by a project's .claude/settings.json now show an actionable claude plugin install hint

• Fixed claude mcp list silently reporting no servers when .mcp.json can't be parsed (e.g. using VS Code's "servers" key instead of "mcpServers") — now shows configuration errors

• Fixed background side-queries on custom ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL setups and Bedrock Mantle not using Haiku — now falls back correctly when a first-party API key is configured or no Haiku model is set

• Fixed scrolling in attached background sessions on Windows — PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, and Ctrl+O transcript navigation now work

• Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session

• Fixed on Windows, pressing ← in claude agents leaving the list unresponsive to keyboard input

• Fixed ghost characters at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content

• /bg and ←-detach now preserve directories added via /add-dir

• Fixed claude respawn <id> on a stopped background session showing "stopped" instead of running

• Fixed /resume picker not showing sessions forked from a background session

• Fixed opening a session from claude agents or running claude logs <id> hanging when the background service is unresponsive — now times out after 10s with a recovery hint

• Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after the process exits

• Fixed completed or stopped background sessions briefly failing to wake being permanently marked as a startup crash

• Fixed markdown links in claude agents attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of clickable hyperlinks

• Fixed custom spinnerVerbs applying to the post-turn duration message — past-tense built-ins like "Worked for 5s" are restored there

• claude agents / --bg rejection messages now name the specific gate (non-TTY, env var, or setting) instead of a generic message

• claude --bg --name <label> now echoes the name in the post-spawn confirmation

• claude agents: renaming a background session with Ctrl+R now updates the attached session's banner immediately

• Background session worktree isolation guard now applies for non-git VCS users with WorktreeCreate hooks configured

• Plugin marketplace add/update now respects CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS

• /plugin now returns to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin

• /doctor now shows an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the command field

• Skill-listing truncation is no longer shown as a startup notification — run /doctor for the full breakdown

• Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls — now retries streaming once instead of falling back to a slower non-streaming request

• Improved SDK/headless MCP startup: pre-wait now overlaps startup instead of blocking before the first turn (up to 2s faster with slow MCP servers)

• The post-survey follow-up hint now appears after every non-dismiss survey response with context-aware copy, making it easier to share more detail via /feedback.

Claude Code v2.1.143

2026-05-18T01:52:01Z

• Added plugin dependency enforcement: claude plugin disable now refuses when another enabled plugin depends on the target (with a copy-pasteable disable-chain hint), and claude plugin enable force-enables transitive dependencies

• Added projected context cost (per-turn and per-invocation token estimates) to the /plugin marketplace browse pane

• Added worktree.bgIsolation: "none" setting to let background sessions edit the working copy directly without EnterWorktree, for repos where worktrees are impractical

• PowerShell tool now passes -ExecutionPolicy Bypass. Opt out with CLAUDE_CODE_POWERSHELL_RESPECT_EXECUTION_POLICY=1

• Background sessions now preserve the model and effort level you set after waking from idle

• Shift+Tab in attached agent sessions now includes auto mode in the cycle

• Fixed a corrupt .credentials.json with a non-array scopes value hanging the CLI on startup or silently aborting OAuth token refresh

• Fixed right-click paste in claude agents on Windows Terminal and WSL

• Fixed stop hooks that block repeatedly looping forever — the turn now ends with a warning after 8 consecutive blocks (override via CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP)

• Fixed Esc/Ctrl+C not cancelling a pending /loop wakeup while Claude is idle between iterations

• Fixed /goal evaluator firing while background shells or delegated subagents are still running

• Fixed NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR in settings.json env stripping Claude Code's own UI colors — they now apply to subprocesses only

• Fixed /bg without a prompt sending "continue" to the forked session — the fork now waits for input

• Fixed --agent <name> not finding plugin-contributed agents without the plugin: prefix

• claude agents accepts --permission-mode, --model, --effort, and --dangerously-skip-permissions to set defaults for sessions dispatched from the view

• claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissions now persists across retire→wake

• Fixed background sessions silently capturing IDE file references into the warm spare's input, which caused the reference to be prepended to the next prompt dispatched from claude agents

• Worktree cleanup no longer falls back to rm -rf when git worktree remove fails, preventing loss of gitignored or in-progress files

• Fixed background-job sessions on macOS getting "Operation not permitted" errors when reading files under ~/Documents, ~/Desktop, or ~/Downloads, even with Full Disk Access granted.

• /bg now preserves --mcp-config, --settings, --add-dir, --plugin-dir, and --strict-mcp-config, so backgrounded sessions keep their MCP servers and settings across respawn.

• Background sessions launched from claude agents now honor permissions.defaultMode from settings.json (was previously overridden to auto mode)

• Fixed: on Windows, pressing ← in claude agents while a response was streaming could leave the agents list unresponsive to all input

• /bg and ←-detach now preserve --fallback-model, so backgrounded workers degrade to the fallback model on overload instead of hard-failing.

• /bg and ←-detach now preserve --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions, so the forked worker keeps bypass-permissions available in its Shift+Tab cycle.

• Fixed: background daemon spawn now falls back to the running binary when the ~/.local/bin/claude launcher is missing or non-executable

• Fixed claude agents --allow-dangerously-skip-permissions defaulting dispatched sessions to bypass mode instead of making it available in the permission cycle

Claude Code v2.1.142

2026-05-18T01:52:01Z

• Improved hook configuration error: configuring a prompt- or agent-type hook for SessionStart/Setup/SubagentStart now shows a clear "use a command-type hook instead" error

• Removed stale /model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 suggestion from Usage Policy refusal messages

Claude Code v2.1.140

Claude Code v2.1.139

2026-05-18T01:52:01Z
