Changelog

What's changed

  • Added agent view (Research Preview): a single list of every Claude Code session — running, blocked on you, or done. Run claude agents to get started. See https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view
  • Added /goal command: set a completion condition and Claude keeps working across turns until it's met. Works in interactive, -p, and Remote Control. Shows live elapsed/turns/tokens as an overlay panel
  • Added /scroll-speed command to tune mouse wheel scroll speed with a live preview
  • Added claude plugin details <name> to show a plugin's component inventory and projected per-session token cost
  • Added transcript view navigation: ? for keyboard shortcuts, {/} to jump between user prompts, v to toggle shortcut panel
  • Added hook args: string[] field (exec form) that spawns the command directly without a shell, so path placeholders never need quoting
  • Added hook continueOnBlock config option for PostToolUse — set to true to feed the hook's rejection reason back to Claude and continue the turn
  • MCP stdio servers now receive CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR in their environment, matching hooks. Plugin configs can reference ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR} in commands
  • Compaction prompt now asks the model to preserve sensitive user instructions
  • /mcp Reconnect now picks up .mcp.json edits without a restart, and shows the HTTP status and URL when reconnecting fails
  • /context all per-skill token estimates now account for the model's tokenizer and show rounded values
  • claude plugin install <name>@<marketplace> now auto-refreshes the marketplace and retries before reporting a plugin as not found
  • /plugin installed-plugin details now show hook event names and MCP server names cleanly
  • /context now shows the providing plugin's name for plugin-sourced skills
  • Remote MCP server reconnect retry on transient failures is now enabled for all users
  • API requests from subagents now carry x-claude-code-agent-id / x-claude-code-parent-agent-id headers, and claude_code.llm_request OTEL spans include agent_id / parent_agent_id attributes
  • Remote Control, /schedule, claude.ai MCP connectors, and notification preferences are now disabled when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / apiKeyHelper / ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN is set, even if a Claude.ai login also exists. Unset the API key to use these features
  • Fixed a deadlock where expired credentials and the forceRemoteSettingsRefresh policy setting blocked claude auth login/logout/status with no way to recover
  • Fixed autoAllowBashIfSandboxed not auto-approving commands with shell expansions like $VAR and $(cmd)
  • Fixed a bug where a hook writing to the terminal could corrupt an on-screen interactive prompt; hooks now run without terminal access
  • Fixed unbounded memory growth when an HTTP/SSE MCP server streams non-protocol data — response bodies now capped at 16 MB per SSE frame
  • Fixed Skill(name *) permission rules — the wildcard form now works as a prefix match, matching Bash(ls *) behavior
  • Fixed settings hot-reload not detecting edits to symlinked ~/.claude/settings.json
  • Fixed plugin details failing to load when the marketplace key differs from the manifest name
  • Fixed /model picker "Default" row not reflecting ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL/ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL overrides
  • Fixed spurious "stream idle timeout" 5 minutes after a response completed, caused by the watchdog timer not being cleared on stream cancellation
  • Fixed silent exit 1 when 10+ MCP servers are configured and the cache directory is unwritable — the error message now includes the underlying cause
  • Fixed a typing cursor blinking on tab names, list pointers, and select rows in dialogs
  • Fixed transcript view letter shortcuts not working after mouse click
  • Fixed Bash-mode up-arrow history repeating the first entry and clobbering the in-progress draft
  • Fixed pasting or dropping multiple images only inserting the last one
  • Fixed hyperlinks using unreada
