v2.1.218
Changed `/code-review` to run as a background subagent, so review work no longer fills your conversation and keeps stacked slash commands as its review target · Added screen-reader announcements of deleted text for word and line deletions (`Option+Delete`, `Ctrl+W`, `Cmd+Backspace`, `Ctrl+U`, `Ctrl+K`) in `--ax-screen-reader` mode · Fixed Windows paths with `\u`-prefixed segments (like `C:\Users\unicorn`) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible · F

v2.1.217
Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting · Added warnings when transcript writes are failing (e.g. disk full) or when session saving is off due to an inherited environment variable, instead of losing transcripts silently · Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session · Fixed Windows auto-update fai

v2.1.216
Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control · Fixed a slowdown in long sessions where message normalization cost grew quadratically with the number of turns, causing multi-second stalls and slow resumes · Fixed auto mode denying commands with "HTTP 401" classifier errors after the OAuth token expired or rotated mid-session · Fixed AskUserQuestion telling Claude to continue even when your answer asked it to wait or explain first —

v2.1.214
Fixed single-segment `dir/**` allow rules like `Edit(src/**)` auto-approving writes to nested `dir/` directories anywhere in the tree instead of only `<cwd>/dir` · Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions · Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer · Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always pr

v2.1.212
`/fork` now copies your conversation into a new background session (its own row in `claude agents`) while you keep working; the in-session subagent it used to launch is now `/subtask` · Added `claude auto-mode reset` to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass `--yes` to skip) · Added a session-wide limit on WebSearch tool calls (default 200, tunable via `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_WEB_SEARCHES_PER_SESSION`) to stop runaway search loops · Added a per-session cap on suba

Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output · Fixed permission previews relayed to chat channels not neutralizing bidirectional-override, zero-width, and look-alike quote characters, so tool inputs cannot visually alter the approval message · Fixed auto mode overriding a PreToolUse hook's `ask` decision for unsandboxed Bash — a hook `ask` now floors the decision at a prompt · Fixed p

v2.1.210
Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck · Added a startup warning for `Write(path)`, `NotebookEdit(path)`, and `Glob(path)` permission rules — use `Edit(path)` or `Read(path)` instead · Fixed `isolation: 'worktree'` subagents being able to run git-mutating commands against the main repo checkout instead of their own isolated worktree · Fixed the `ultracode` keyword opt-in firing on non-human-originated

Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings · Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks · Fixed remote managed settings from a non-interactive run (`claude -p`, the SDK) being permanently recorded as consented without ever showing the security consent dialog · Fixed spurious prompt-injection wa

Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior · Added a `/doctor` check that proposes trimming checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase · `/commit-push-pr` now auto-allows `git push` to the repo's configured push remote (`remote.pushDefault`, or the sole remote when only one is configured) in addition to `origin` · Gateway: `/login` now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints · `EnterWorktree` now asks for confir

Added a "Dynamic workflow size" setting in `/config` for controlling how large Claude generally makes dynamic workflows (small/medium/large agent counts) — an advisory guideline, not an enforced cap · Added `workflow.run_id` and `workflow.name` OpenTelemetry attributes to telemetry emitted by workflow-spawned agents, so a workflow run's activity can be reconstructed from OTel data · Fixed a crash in the inline Ctrl+R history search when accepting or cancelling while the search was still scanning

Stacked slash-skill invocations like `/skill-a /skill-b do XYZ` now load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first · Fixed SSL certificate errors (TLS-inspecting proxies, missing `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`, expired certs) burning retries before showing actionable guidance — they now fail immediately with the fix hint · Fixed streaming responses being discarded when the API emits a mid-stream overloaded/server error after partial output — the partial is now kept with an incomplete-response noti

Subagents now run in the background by default, so Claude keeps working while they run and is notified when they finish (previously a gradual rollout) · Claude in Chrome is now generally available · Added background agent notifications in `claude agents` — sessions that need input or finish now fire the `Notification` hook (`agent_needs_input` / `agent_completed`) · Added `/dataviz` skill for chart and dashboard design guidance with a runnable color-palette validator · Gateway: added Claude Plat
