Claude Code v2.1.105

What's changed

• Added path parameter to the EnterWorktree tool to switch into an existing worktree of the current repository
• Added PreCompact hook support: hooks can now block compaction by exiting with code 2 or returning {"decision":"block"}
• Added background monitor support for plugins via a top-level monitors manifest key that auto-arms at session start or on skill invoke
• /proactive is now an alias for /loop
• Improved stalled API stream handling: streams now abort after 5 minutes of no data and retry non-streaming instead of hanging indefinitely
• Improved network error messages: connection errors now show a retry message immediately instead of a silent spinner
• Improved file write display: long single-line writes (e.g. minified JSON) are now truncated in the UI instead of paginating across many screens
• Improved /doctor layout with status icons; press f to have Claude fix reported issues
• Improved /config labels and descriptions for clarity
• Improved skill description handling: raised the listing cap from 250 to 1,536 characters and added a startup warning when descriptions are truncated
• Improved WebFetch to strip <style> and <script> contents from fetched pages so CSS-heavy pages no longer exhaust the content budget before reaching actual text
• Improved stale agent worktree cleanup to remove worktrees whose PR was squash-merged instead of keeping them indefinitely
• Improved MCP large-output truncation prompt to give format-specific recipes (e.g. jq for JSON, computed Read chunk sizes for text)
• Fixed images attached to queued messages (sent while Claude is working) being dropped
• Fixed screen going blank when the prompt input wraps to a second line in long conversations
• Fixed leading whitespace getting copied when selecting multi-line assistant responses in fullscreen mode
• Fixed leading whitespace being trimmed from assistant messages, breaking ASCII art and indented diagrams
• Fixed garbled bash output when commands print clickable file links (e.g. Python rich/loguru logging)
• Fixed alt+enter not inserting a newline in terminals using ESC-prefix alt encoding, and Ctrl+J not inserting a newline (regression in 2.1.100)
• Fixed duplicate "Creating worktree" text in EnterWorktree/ExitWorktree tool display
• Fixed queued user prompts disappearing from focus mode
• Fixed one-shot scheduled tasks re-firing repeatedly when the file watcher missed the post-fire cleanup
• Fixed inbound channel notifications being silently dropped after the first message for Team/Enterprise users
• Fixed marketplace plugins with package.json and lockfile not having dependencies installed automatically after install/update
• Fixed marketplace auto-update leaving the official marketplace in a broken state when a plugin process holds files open during the update
• Fixed "Resume this session with..." hint not printing on exit after /resume, --worktree, or /branch
• Fixed feedback survey shortcut keys firing when typed at the end of a longer prompt
• Fixed stdio MCP server emitting malformed (non-JSON) output hanging the session instead of failing fast with "Connection closed"
• Fixed MCP tools missing on the first turn of headless/remote-trigger sessions when MCP servers connect asynchronously
• Fixed /model picker on AWS Bedrock in non-US regions persisting invalid us.* model IDs to settings.json when inference profile discovery is still in-flight
• Fixed 429 rate-limit errors showing a raw JSON dump instead of a clean message for API-key, Bedrock, and Vertex users
• Fixed crash on resume when session contains malformed text blocks
• Fixed /help dropping the tab bar, Shortcuts heading, and footer at short terminal heights
• Fixed malformed keybinding entry values in keybindings.json being silently loaded instead of rejected with a clear error
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC in one project's settings permanently disabling usage metrics for all projects on the
