- Security blocked trying to defend my system!
Changelog
What's changed
- Added new
claude agentsflags:--add-dir,--settings,--mcp-config,--plugin-dir,--permission-mode,--model,--effort, and--dangerously-skip-permissionsto configure dispatched background sessions - Fast mode now uses Opus 4.7 by default (previously Opus 4.6). Set
CLAUDE_CODE_OPUS_4_6_FAST_MODE_OVERRIDE=1to pin fast mode to Opus 4.6 - Plugins with a root-level
SKILL.mdand noskills/subdirectory are now surfaced as a skill - The
/plugindetails pane andclaude plugin detailsnow show LSP servers a plugin provides /web-setupwarns before replacing an existing GitHub App connection- Fixed
MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUTnot raising the per-request fetch timeout for remote HTTP and SSE MCP servers, which capped tool calls at 60 seconds regardless of the configured value - Fixed background sessions not recognizing pre-existing git worktrees, blocking Edit while EnterWorktree refused to create a duplicate
- Fixed background sessions disappearing and daemon reconnect failing after macOS sleep/wake — the daemon now detects clock jumps instead of treating them as elapsed idle time
- Fixed daemon not exiting cleanly after the binary is upgraded (e.g.
brew upgrade), causing dispatched agents to crash-loop on the deleted path - Fixed background agents crash-looping when the Claude-in-Chrome extension is connected without a shared tab
- Fixed clicking links in an attached
claude agentssession — the background worker's headless browser shim no longer applies while attached - Fixed
claude agents"v to open in editor" using the daemon's default editor instead of your shell's$EDITOR/$VISUAL - Fixed
claude agentsdeadlocking on Windows with network-drive working directories; Ctrl+C now works during startup - Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a
claude agentssession from Apple Terminal or other 256-color-only terminals - Fixed
claude --bg --dangerously-skip-permissionsnot persisting across retire/wake - Fixed session titles being derived from the URL when the first message is a link
- Fixed redundant
set_modelrequests from remote clients injecting duplicate/modelbreadcrumbs into the transcript - Fixed plugins using
skills: ["./"]showing a false "path escapes plugin directory" error - Fixed plugin cache cleanup deleting the active plugin version directory when no installation metadata is present
- Fixed
/pluginbrowse pane showing "0 installs" for newly published plugins - Fixed plugin advisories not naming every
plugin.jsonkey that shadows a default folder - Improved reactive compaction: the first summarize attempt now seeds from the original request's overflow size, avoiding a wasted near-full-context retry
- Improved hook configuration error: configuring a prompt- or agent-type hook for
SessionStart/Setup/SubagentStartnow shows a clear "use a command-type hook instead" error - Removed stale
