v2.1.282

What's changed

• Added a maxProseWidth setting that caps the width of Claude's prose in wide terminals while tables and code blocks keep the full width
• Added a startup notice, and /status and claude doctor entries, listing telemetry variables in a project's settings files that were ignored or that turned telemetry off
• Added the allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp managed setting to let claude --chrome run alongside an exclusive managed-mcp.json; the error shown when Chrome is blocked now names it
• Added store.readiness_grace_seconds to the Claude apps gateway so /readyz can stay ready through a short Postgres outage such as a database failover
• Added a scrollbar to the /feedback drafts list in fullscreen mode; it appears while the mouse is over the list
• Fixed every request failing with a 400 error in conversations whose history holds web search results the API cannot decrypt (for example, from a turn answered through a third-party gateway)
• Fixed more cases of continued or resumed sessions (--continue, --resume) re-sending earlier messages in a changed form, which could make the API drop Claude's earlier reasoning
• Fixed earlier extended thinking being dropped when /model, /rename, /artifacts or another immediate slash command was used while Claude was working
• Fixed continued or resumed conversations losing earlier extended thinking when relaunched with a --tools list that leaves out a built-in tool offered earlier in the conversation
• Fixed sessions failing on every turn with an "Invalid data in redacted_thinking block" API error; Claude Code now drops the conversation's thinking blocks and retries once
• Fixed compaction failing when the summarization request is refused; it now retries on a fallback model
• Fixed a failed turn ("Effort 'xhigh' isn't available with thinking turned off") after a safety-related model switch in sessions with thinking off and effort above high
• Fixed an unanswered Fable usage-credits prompt switching models in SDK-hosted sessions such as Claude Desktop; the turn now ends instead, and Remote Control clients now see the model-switch notice
• Fixed /model with a full Fable model id stopping at an API error instead of opening the usage-credits prompt when the plan needs usage credits that aren't turned on yet
• Fixed requests failing for up to a minute with an "another Claude Code process is refreshing it" login error after that other process was closed or killed mid-refresh
• Fixed sessions started while another Claude Code window was refreshing the sign-in (common with several VS Code windows) not retrying their organization policy fetch
• Fixed CLAUDE.md and rules being read at startup through a repository symlink reaching macOS's /Network via .. or a /.vol-style kernel path, or a rules link to macOS's /home being listed
• Fixed Bash permission rules with a mid-pattern :* being skipped in settings files while --allowedTools honored them; they now work from every source, with a startup warning on how they match
• Fixed a command approved on a restored permission prompt running twice when a remote session's worker restarted
• Fixed managed settings ignoring a mistyped value for boolean lock keys such as disableClaudeAiConnectors or allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly; the lock now applies and startup names the key
• Fixed managed permissions, autoMode, worktree and attribution settings being ignored entirely when one nested value was invalid; the rest of the block now still applies
• Fixed repository, user and --add-dir skills, commands and skills-directory plugin manifests pre-approving their own tools via allowed-tools under managed allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly
• Fixed safeguard block messages on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle not showing a request ID; block messages now also show the message ID
• Vertex AI: Fixed web search not being offered for models Claude Code doesn't recognize yet, such as newly released ones
• Fixed Bash and PowerShell hiding a full disk quota behind "Exit code 1" and leaving large output files in temp
• Fixed tool input validation errors naming only an unknown, missing or mistyped parameter when other parameters in the same call were also invalid; those are now listed too
• Fixed pasted multi-line text being submitted line by line after the terminal's bracketed paste mode was reset mid-session
• Fixed the prompt's example text flashing and disappearing at startup in projects with a SessionStart hook
• Fixed a blank screen flashing before the first frame when starting in fullscreen mode
• Fixed garbled, misplaced rows in the non-fullscreen renderer after the screen got shorter while still taller than the terminal, e.g. deleting a prompt line while a shell command streams output
• Fixed a stale character left in the last column of a diff when a redrawn line's CJK character or emoji wrapped to the next row
• Fixed the cursor landing before the end of a prompt recalled from history when the prompt contains a tab
• Fixed the send-now hint showing ctrl+enter on terminals that send it as a newline (Windows Terminal before 1.25); it now shows ctrl+x ctrl+s there
• Fixed claude remote-control --debug failing with "Unknown argument: --debug", although Remote Control's own eligibility error says to run with --debug
• Fixed /install-github-app saying "cancelled" and then still pushing the branch and saving the API key secret; leaving now stops the remaining steps and reports what was already done
• Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share on Bedrock, Vertex and other third-party providers still saving the report file after you cancelled during the save
• Fixed plugin uninstall reporting success and deleting the plugin's saved options when its settings file still enabled it or could not be read; it now stops and names the file
• Fixed plugin uninstall deleting a plugin's saved options and secrets when the list of installed plugins could not be read after the removal; they are now kept and the uninstall says so
• Fixed a key typed right after / in /skills moving the skill list instead of reaching the search box
• Fixed the terminal cursor jumping from the /skills search box to the skill list while typing, which could hide the caret and put IME input in the wrong place
• Fixed lists with a scrollbar, such as /skills and /mcp, being two columns narrower outside fullscreen mode, where the scrollbar can never appear
• Fixed the agent panel footer wrapping onto two lines with long rebound keys, and its "Esc to collapse" hint ignoring a rebound collapse key
• Fixed a doubled · separator in the /tasks dialog footer when the stop-all-agents shortcut is unbound in keybindings.json
• Fixed artifact publishes failing when Claude gave the version a label longer than 60 characters; the label is now shortened
• Fixed screen-reader mode, quoted lists and very long lists dropping the blank lines at the top of a code block that opens a list item, directly or inside a quote
• Fixed PDF page-read error messages: paths with accented or non-Latin characters now appear readably, and a folder named like "password" or "invalid" can no longer make the error name the wrong cause
• Fixed vim mode >> indenting empty lines, r with a count longer than the line changing text, 2J joining one line too many, and a count on the last line (2dd, 2>>) shifting or deleting it
• Fixed vim mode cursor placement: after dd, dj, dG or a whole-line p/P it lands on the first non-blank, yy no longer moves it, and Esc after an emoji no longer leaves it inside the emoji
• Fixed vim mode ignoring a count typed before . when repeating x, s, p, d or c, and whole-line p/P, o, O, J, >> and << acting on the wrong line when a line above wraps
• Fixed vim mode leaving the cursor past the end of a prompt recalled from history or pulled back from the queue in normal mode, so x did nothing
• Improved the time to resume very large sessions, including ones that were never compacted
• Improved the error shown on Windows when a session can't be resumed because its transcript file could not be read (EBADF): it now names possible causes and what to try
• Improved the Claude Desktop unknown-model error to suggest switching to a different model
• Improved rendering of unusual Unicode in permission prompts
• Improved /artifacts: titles line up in one column, details are dropped whole instead of cut mid-word, and the list supports PgUp/PgDn, Home/End, the mouse wheel and clicks
• Updated the claude-api skill: pre-output refusal billing now links to the How refusals are billed docs, mid-stream refusals bill at normal rates, and pre-output refusals count against rate limits
• Updated the claude-api skill to recommend ant apply for keeping Managed Agents resources as version-controlled files
• Changed auto mode to use the server-side classifier by default on a direct Anthropic API connection when telemetry is off (CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0 opts out)
• Changed sandbox.excludedCommands to ignore project and local settings entries when managed settings or --settings set allowUnsandboxedCommands: false, or managed allowManagedDomainsOnly: true
• Changed project and local settings to ignore OpenTelemetry variables that turn on export, set its endpoint, or capture content, like CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY and OTEL_LOG_*
• Changed Windows/WSL managed settings so an admin policy that is present but invalid or unreadable (HKLM, managed-settings.json) keeps user-writable HKCU and WSL /etc/claude-code from applying
• Changed Skill(anthropic-skills:*) and Skill(claude-ai:*) allow rules to cover only skills synced from claude.ai, not plugins or other skills that merely use such a name
• Changed skill folders, command files and workflow commands in the anthropic-skills or claude-ai namespace to no longer load; a plugin so named still loads but yields name ties to synced skills
• Changed MCP servers configured under the name anthropic-skills or claude-ai to list no skills or prompts (their tools still work); rename the server in your MCP configuration to list them again
• Changed the ultracode visuals in /effort and the prompt input to plain styling (no ripple, border flourish or keyword glimmer) and removed the dynamic-workflows spinner tip
• Changed the Clawd mascot's feet in the start-up banner to sit under the corners of his body
• [VSCode] Fixed long replies falling behind the stream: the panel no longer re-parses the whole reply on every update
• [VSCode] Fixed the dictation mic button covering the message input's scrollbar when the input is tall enough to scroll
• [VSCode] Fixed Remote Control sessions started on this computer not opening from their Web entry in the session list; they now open the local conversation unless it's running elsewhere
• [VSCode] Fixed an editor tab's sign-in screen hanging silently after the extension host restarts; it now shows the "stopped responding" notice too
• [Cloud sessions] Added Claude GitHub App status to Settings › Connectors › GitHub: whether the app is installed and reachable for your account, plus steps to connect, install or reconnect
• [Cloud sessions] Added "Open repository" and "Open compare page" links to the repository menu of a cloud session whose repository is hosted on a Git server other than GitHub
• [Cloud sessions] Added attaching a repository from a different GitHub owner, such as a fork's upstream, to a running cloud session that already has one, including sessions started from Slack
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed the next run time shown for an hourly routine being 30 minutes off for people in half-hour-offset time zones such as India
• [Cloud sessions] Improved how quickly the Routines page and the sidebar's Scheduled list load for accounts whose past sessions scheduled many check-in reminders
• [Claude Tag] Fixed auto-join channel patterns saved for one workspace in Claude Tag admin settings being ignored on an Enterprise Grid org-wide install; Claude now joins matching new channels
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude not responding in an Enterprise Grid channel shared between two workspaces of one organization when the channel's Claude Tag version was saved from the other workspace
• [Claude Tag] Fixed the earlier Claude in Slack app's progress card for sessions on a GitHub Enterprise Server repository: it now names the repository and offers a working Create PR button
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack threads whose model has been retired falling back to another model on every reply, slower and with a fallback note each time; the thread now moves to a working model
• [Claude Tag] Fixed files Claude uploads to Slack not being able to carry a caption containing a table; captions now render with the same formatting as replies
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude's threads in Slack's Agents & tools view sometimes being listed under their first message instead of their name; later renames now update the list too
• [Claude Tag] Fixed removing a GitHub organization's grant from an access bundle's Repositories tab in Claude Tag admin settings failing to save after that GitHub organization was disconnected
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude always replying "Couldn't check this channel just now" in a channel shared with a Grid workspace it isn't added to; the notice now says which workspace needs the app
• [Claude Tag] Fixed the cost and token totals in Claude's reply footer reading many times too high after the session's cloud worker restarted
• [Claude Tag] Changed the bordered cards Claude uses in Slack replies for plans, tables and details to render wide by default instead of a narrow width
• [Claude Tag] Changed newly connected Slack workspaces to follow the current default model instead of keeping whichever model was the default when they were connected
