2.1.302

Oct 16, 2026

Notable changes

Added CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_MODEL to choose the model the client-side auto mode classifier uses; it does not change the model for server-side auto mode
Added an Idle compaction row to /config for turning idle compaction off or back on; the notices shown after an idle compaction now say how to turn it off
Added a notice to /design-sync and /design-login that standalone Claude Design (claude.ai/design) closes by December 14, 2026
Fixed a "Prompt is too long" error when stopping a turn while the conversation was being compacted
Fixed requests failing with "diagnostics: Extra inputs are not permitted" after switching to Vertex or Bedrock mid-session
Fixed the Read tool loading an image file of any size, or a pipe or device named like an image, entirely into memory; image sources over 128 MB are now refused

Changes

Fixed /autocompact and /effort saving to the wrong model when a gateway names Opus 4 or 4.1 with a prefix, such as anthropic/claude-opus-4-1
Fixed a prompt cache miss when a tool added mid-session was loaded again through ToolSearch or after compaction
Fixed claude plugin and other subcommands sometimes exiting before a queued settings or config write finished, which could lose the change or leave a .tmp file behind
Fixed plugin marketplaces re-cloning on every refresh, and newly installed git plugins showing version "unknown", when git defaults to the reftable ref format
Fixed the PowerShell tool not finding commands in a plugin's bin/ folder, and reporting an error when a search that finds nothing (rg, grep, findstr, git grep) is piped into Select-Object or another formatting cmdlet
Fixed Claude in the desktop app pointing you to claude.ai settings or /mcp to authorize or reconnect an MCP server where that option isn't available
Fixed artifact publishes sometimes failing when Claude sent an empty list of edits, and Claude retrying an artifact update the wrong way after a newer version of the artifact turned it away
Fixed classifier_category missing from OpenTelemetry tool_decision events for most auto mode classifier blocks, and new tool_decision attributes pushing out tool_use_id, tool_source and tool_parameters when OTEL_LOGRECORD_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT_LIMIT is low
Fixed rows in the agents view staying blank after moving down a long list or folding a section
Fixed claude remote-control --help not printing its usage and exiting when not signed in
Fixed /design consent and /design revoke suggesting /design-login when they fail in a cloud session, where it isn't available; the message now points to claude.ai/design/settings
Fixed MCP servers showing no tools, or every tool call failing, when the server negotiates protocol version 2026-07-28 but omits resultType, ttlMs or cacheScope
Fixed prompt suggestions spending usage credits on models your plan pays for only with credits: they are now skipped after a reply billed to credits
Fixed URLs written in backticks being clickable only on their first row when they wrap; the whole URL is now one link in terminals that support hyperlinks
Fixed claude plugin details <name>@builtin suggesting claude plugin list, which never shows built-in plugins, when the plugin isn't found; it now points to /plugin
Fixed an emoji that a link starts inside wrapping one column too wide, which hid it in question previews and turned tables into lists
Fixed worktree isolation refusing to create or resume worktrees under git 2.56 or later when a stray .git file points at a directory that doesn't exist
Fixed a cloud session's cost and usage restarting from zero after the session resumed in a new process
Self-hosted runner: Fixed git fetches failing with "bad object refs/heads" in sessions that reuse a checkout stored in git's reftable format
Windows: Fixed every file write being refused or asked about for projects on exFAT or FAT32 drives, including in sessions started with --plugin-dir
Improved startup time with many plugins enabled: plugin command and agent files now take far fewer file system calls to load, most of all on Windows
Improved auto mode with the server-side classifier: a conversation too long for the safety check is now compacted, instead of every checked tool call being denied
Improved the message when a background session reopened from another folder has no LLM gateway: it now says why, instead of "Not logged in"
Changed claude -p and Agent SDK sessions with no permission mode to start in default mode on third-party providers, with telemetry off or on a fresh install; --permission-mode auto keeps auto
Changed fork subagents (subagent_type: "fork") to be on by default in claude -p, the Agent SDK, the desktop app and VS Code, as they already are in the terminal; CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT=0 turns them off, and claude mcp serve never offers them
Changed the desktop app and VS Code to always run the main conversation's subagents in the background, as the terminal does, rather than let Claude choose; a subagent's own Agent calls in claude -p, the Agent SDK, the desktop app and VS Code now run in the foreground by default
Changed the ← for agents footer hint to hide 10 seconds after a session opens; the count of agents waiting on you still shows
Changed where the Claude in Chrome instructions sit in the system prompt so that new conversations can read them from the shared prompt cache
Changed prompt and agent hooks so that at most 12 of one event run at a time; the rest wait their turn
Changed the message shown when your organization's policy turns off /feedback: it now points to GitHub issues instead of an organization admin
[VSCode] Fixed text after an unclosed code block in a list showing as plain text while a reply streams, then turning into code
[VSCode] Fixed MCP server sign-in from the panel opening a broken authorization page when the server URL contains a query string
[VSCode] Fixed the @browser banner saying "Browser connected" when no browser with the Claude extension can be reached
[Cloud sessions] Added a banner on a routine's page that says why its last run didn't start, such as your organization reaching its limit on concurrent cloud sessions
[Cloud sessions] Fixed "Rewind to here" failing on every message except the newest in cloud sessions; self-hosted runners need Claude Code v2.1.246 or later
[Cloud sessions] Fixed the pull request status bar in cloud sessions flipping a pull request with merge conflicts back to ready while GitHub rechecked it
[Cloud sessions] Fixed routine runs showing as Completed after their cloud session stopped unexpectedly, and as Cancelled when archived before they started, instead of failed
[Cloud sessions] Fixed the diff view in cloud sessions missing changes or failing to load after the session's GitHub repository was renamed or moved
[Cloud sessions] Fixed a scheduled routine run that failed partway being run again from the start an hour or more later, which could repeat work such as posting the same report twice
[Cloud sessions] Fixed an open cloud session sometimes not showing messages sent from another device until you reloaded the page or clicked away and back
[Cloud sessions] Improved the error shown when a cloud session fails to start: it now says "Connection lost" or "Server error" instead of "Something went wrong"
[Remote Control] Fixed a subagent's pane spinning forever in a Remote Control session after your computer goes offline; it now says Remote Control is disconnected
[Claude Tag] Fixed "is thinking…" staying up under a mention in a Slack channel or DM after Claude answered it by editing one of its earlier messages
[Claude Tag] Fixed URLs in code blocks under a numbered or bulleted step of Claude's Slack replies being wrapped in angle brackets, which broke copied commands
[Claude Tag] Fixed HEIC, SVG, TIFF and BMP images attached in Slack never reaching Claude; they now arrive as files in its working files, like other file types
[Claude Tag] Fixed new channel managers losing access to Claude in Slack in organizations that restrict Claude Tag by role; the manager role now also grants Claude Tag in Slack
[Claude Tag] Fixed custom connectors whose MCP servers share one host showing as a single connector in Claude Tag admin settings; each server is now its own connector
[Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack sometimes answering a direct message with "DMs are temporarily unavailable" and dropping it when a single Slack lookup stalled; it now retries first
[Claude Tag] Fixed direct messages with Claude on a Slack Enterprise Grid ignoring Slack's workspace dropdown; they now run under the connected workspace you last opened Claude in
[Claude Tag] Fixed Claude in Slack's notice for a channel's monthly spend limit saying a channel manager can raise it; it now names an organization owner and links the usage page
[Claude Tag] Fixed links in Claude's Slack replies absorbing the closing bold or italic marks, or full-width punctuation, right after them, which broke the link and the formatting
[Claude Tag] Improved repository search in Claude Tag admin settings to cover up to 100 connected GitHub accounts and find private repositories past the first 5,000 of a GitHub App install
[Claude Tag] Improved Add place in Claude Tag admin settings to list a channel you type or paste right away, instead of only after your organization's full channel list has loaded
[Claude Tag] Improved Add > Domain on a workspace's or channel's page in Claude Tag admin settings to be available once that page loads, not only after every channel has loaded
[Claude Tag] Changed Claude Tag admin settings to organize Claude's access into four tabs: Bundles, Connectors, Skills and plugins, and Channels
[Claude Tag] Changed the Roles page in organization settings to group the roles created for Claude Tag channel managers in a collapsed section below your organization's own roles
[Code Review] Fixed Code Review setup not resuming after you leave to connect GitHub; back in admin settings, it now reopens at the repository picker

2.1.301

Oct 16, 2026

Notable changes

Added CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG_MAX_USAGE_LIMIT_WAIT_MS so unattended retry mode (CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) ends a request at a usage limit that resets too far away instead of waiting
Added OpenTelemetry tracing guidance to the claude-api skill, including setting up trace destinations with the ant CLI
Added the % motion to vim mode: jump to the matching bracket, alone or with d/c/y
Added rows to a mod's Input: a text field of several lines in the terminal, where Enter submits and Shift+Enter or a backslash before Enter starts a new line
Added classifier_verdict and permission_mode to OpenTelemetry tool_decision events, so auto mode classifier decisions can be told apart from permission rules
Added classifier_category to OpenTelemetry tool_decision events, naming the built-in rule a classifier block matched, when OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1

Changes

Fixed quitting removing a worktree made by a WorktreeCreate hook without asking when it may hold unpushed commits
Fixed the fable (and best) model alias erroring on the Anthropic API when the newest Fable model is not available to your organization: Claude Code now retries once on the previous Fable model
Fixed a misleading "Please run /login" error when a full disk keeps the login from being refreshed; the error now names the disk and says to delete files
Fixed Grep and Glob reporting no matches when the search program failed unexpectedly before returning any results; they now return an error saying the search failed
Fixed workflow agents sometimes skipping their step, and the run still reporting success, after reading the harness note that their task text carries no user authority
Fixed artifact updates being refused where a PreToolUse hook covers Edit or Write; Claude now edits the file and then republishes instead of changing it in the publish call
Fixed skills and commands with very many or very long argument names stalling for seconds when invoked; only the first 64 names, each up to 64 characters, are now filled in
Fixed skills, commands and hooks using very large amounts of memory when their arguments fill many placeholders
Fixed stray characters such as >0q covering the folder trust prompt, and >4m before the shell prompt at exit, in terminals built on VTE older than 0.53 such as MATE Terminal on RHEL 8
Fixed stray GOK text appearing in the prompt at startup in some versions of iTerm2
Fixed switching to a model whose name contains application-inference-profile running your awsAuthRefresh command and delaying model-switch hooks when the provider is not Bedrock
Fixed sign-in refresh timeouts and unexpected sign-outs after a short command such as claude auth status or claude plugin list exited in the middle of a token refresh
Fixed a tool call cut off by a message sent mid-turn during its permission check being reported to the model as rejected by the user
Fixed a case where switching to a model with a smaller context window could spend usage credits on a summary by the previous model without asking first
Fixed conversations being compacted over and over, on a model you didn't pick, behind an LLM gateway whose responses name a different model than the one requested
Fixed vim mode sometimes staying in INSERT after Escape on a slow or busy machine
Fixed Esc discarding a typed AskUserQuestion answer in vim mode: the free-text field now supports vim NORMAL mode, and Esc cancels only from NORMAL
Fixed the Read tool reading binary files such as .xlsm, .parquet, .epub and .heic as text
Fixed a Markdown table with only a header row drawing nothing when too wide for the terminal, including in plans on the plan approval card
Fixed the /claude-api skill saying CMEK external-key endpoints aren't available on Claude Platform on AWS
Fixed skills no longer being listed to the model after using /rewind
Fixed the compaction row in a resumed session offering ctrl+o for history that is not loaded; it now says where the earlier messages are saved, and also shows in fullscreen
Fixed the "new task? /clear to save tokens" hint coming back right after you interrupt a response
Fixed the permission prompt for a plugin or skill hook's ask decision not showing which plugin or skill the hook comes from
Fixed /diff not noticing a conflicted cherry-pick or revert in reftable repositories when one of its git checks timed out or failed
Fixed workflow scripts asking for permission or being refused when read, edited or re-run after a Bash cd in the same session
Fixed dim text on the dark ANSI theme and 16-color terminals: faint inside filled boxes, not faint under selection and search highlights, and list descriptions dimmed like other secondary text
Fixed a mod's $.model.fork returning nothing-to-fork when called before the first response of a new Claude Code process had finished, as in claude -p runs and cloud sessions
Fullscreen mode: Fixed /compact and auto-compact briefly freezing the UI while the visible transcript is rebuilt
Self-hosted runner: Fixed sessions started from Slack being unable to find or attach a repository when managed settings restrict MCP servers; use deniedMcpServers to keep those tools off
Self-hosted runner: Fixed sessions being reported as having a deleted source branch, and not retried, when an unrelated setup or session failure quoted git's missing-ref wording
Self-hosted runner: Fixed the log promising a retry of a failed or declined session release for a session that is ending; repeated failures now show a count
Windows: Fixed stopped background PowerShell commands missing the closing [killed] line in their output file
Improved switching to a model with a smaller context window: a conversation too long for the new model is now summarized by the previous model first
Improved rendering performance while a long-running subagent works: its progress trail now updates incrementally instead of being reprocessed in full on every render
Improved artifacts: pages Claude writes now paint the band above a sticky header, so scrolled text no longer shows there in the mobile apps
Improved mods: in VS Code and the desktop and mobile apps, a tree drawn above the question dialog can now hold Markdown and up to 48 rows; the terminal keeps 12 plain rows
Changed a mod hook's .catch handler to run only when the hook throws or times out; events raised beneath the hook's own calls now skip that hook without asking its .catch
Changed a mod's $.env.set to resolve with {} once the variable is set or unset, or with { deny } saying why when the write is not made
[VSCode] Added LaTeX math rendering in Claude's responses, including $$ and multi-line \[ … \] blocks and inline $…$ and $…$ math
[VSCode] Added a "Get more usage" link to the usage-limit banner for Pro and Max plans in the VS Code and JetBrains panels
[VSCode] Fixed a conversation that crashes or freezes the panel being reopened on every reload
[VSCode] Fixed the chat panel slowing down during long thinking: it no longer re-parses the whole thinking text on every update
[VSCode] Fixed diagnostics showing "[object Object]" instead of the rule code (e.g. MD013) for some language servers
[VSCode] Fixed the native dictation audio module being loaded, to check microphone permission, where dictation is not offered (non-claude.ai sign-ins, remote windows)
