Most discussed new issues
- [BUG] CVP-approved Claude.ai organization still receives cyber safeguard blocks in Claude Code
- [BUG]Claude Desktop repeatedly crashes and requires “Advanced Options → Repair” on Windows
- [BUG] Windows auto-update deploys into running claude.exe + CoworkVMService (0x80073CF9/0x80073D02), app left unlaunchable (NeedsRemediation); recovery churn incl. dev-only PreserveApplicationData (0x80073CFA) — twice in one day
- [BUG] Login authenticates but has_finished_claudeai_onboarding=false walls existing paid Max account behind new-account onboarding (web/desktop/setup-token) — 10th public report of this signature, first with the mechanism captured on the wire
- [BUG] CVP approved org still blocked by cyber safeguards — org ID confirmed matching, appeal form shows no fields
- [FEATURE] Passkey (WebAuthn) sign-in for Claude accounts, across every surface
- Tag-grammar tool-call parser silently absorbs parameter blocks on mismatched/mangled close tags — measured 6.2% silent field loss on parameter-rich MCP calls (re-raise of stale-closed #44826)
- [MODEL] Measurable quality regression in Claude generation 5 (Fable 5 / Opus 5 / Sonnet 5): worse nonsense detection, ~2x verbosity, under-disclosed model fallback (Fable 5 → Opus 4.8) — reproducible measurements
- Cowork cloud sessions cannot access any GitHub repository, and the git proxy instructs the agent to call a nonexistent add_repo tool
- [BUG] Hook output over 10K silently dropped from context with zero signal — memory plugins lose injected data invisibly
- [Bug] Anthropic API Error: ECONNRESET with exhausted retries in Claude desktop app
- [BUG] Cyber-safeguard false positives on scientific computing session (IR spectrometer calibration) — fires on accumulated context, blocks on both Opus 5 and Opus 4.8
- claude-in-chrome file_upload fails: paths: expected array, received undefined
- [SECURITY/ARCHITECTURE] Model pinning via settings.json is silently overridden — 4 measured bypass vectors + documented fallback substitution, Gen-4 models removed from the model menu
- [BUG] Weekly + Fable quota jumped 0% -> 50%/100% with account idle (Max 20x, after Jul 31 reset)
- [BUG] Claude Code + Cowork fail with ECONNRESET on every network and client — chat works fine
- Worktree creation rewrites the repo's shared core.hooksPath to an absolute path
- [BUG] Claude in Chrome file_upload rejects scheduled-task sessions on Windows (same as closed #63334)
- Multi-agent: EnterWorktree/isolation state is session-global — concurrent subagents hijack each other's cwd and guard identity
- [BUG] 2.1.222 escalates #82966 to ordinary sessions: worktree isolation refuses every `source`/`.` via an interpreter denylist, with no opt-out
