Top issues reported on v2.1.161
Ranked by community engagement (reactions and comments).
- [Bug] Background (daemon) sessions drop assistant text blocks from transcript when response mixes text with tool_use (regression 2.1.160 → 2.1.161)
- Local transcript deletion (30-day TTL) should be configurable independently of data sharing
- darwin-x64: false "temp filesystem is full (0MB free) / ENOSPC" — statfs().bsize=0 makes the empty-output explainer always report disk-full
- [BUG] Tool calls intermittently emitted as literal text (stray "count" + raw <invoke>) instead of executing — Opus 4.8, long Edit-heavy session
- [BUG] Claude Code for VSCode don't loading models list
- Claude desktop local-agent VM (claudevm.bundle/rootfs.img) grows unboundedly and is never reclaimed — silently fills disk, causes out-of-space failures
- [Bug] Auto-Compact Not Triggered
- [BUG] False ENOSPC error reported for subprocesses with no stdout and non-zero exit code
- [MODEL] Uses PowerShell here-string (@'...'@) inside the Bash tool on Windows, silently corrupting a git commit message
- [Bug] Spurious ENOSPC errors in task output capture with racing cleanup deletes
- [BUG] Cowork VM leaks NtFC (NTFS FCB) NonPaged Pool at 12-16 GB/h; two full RAM-exhaustion cycles in one evening, reboot required (re #45921)
- [BUG] Grep/Glob restore opt-in (2.1.162) only works via --allowedTools CLI args — settings.json permission rules are ignored
- [BUG] Unknown --effort value 'ultracode'
- [BUG] Desktop App (Cowork/local agent mode): AskUserQuestion never renders — hangs until session stop auto-denies (regression since 2026-06-03; re-filing locked #26940)
- [BUG] Context menu dismisses when hovering/clicking the "Open in" submenu (file reference right-click menu)
- [Feature Request] Include task ID in task list output
- org_level_disabled error with active Pro subscription as personal org admin
- [Bug] /loop /clear command not working
- [BUG] Drag and Drop + Screenshot Support Stopped Working
- Desktop app crash loop on macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 arm64: CCD bundle truncated to 172MB, errno -88; renderer v8-oom on /epitaxy route
- [BUG] Ctrl+C stops interrupting in a long, heavy background-agent session (macOS TUI, v2.1.161); concurrent fresh sessions interrupt fine
- [Bug] Claude Code not following instructions from claude.md
- [BUG] CLI hardwraps output with real \n characters based on terminal window width
- Slash-command autocomplete fails to match non-ASCII (CJK/Chinese) command names when filtering (v2.1.161, macOS)
- [Bug] Multiple Claude Code versions running simultaneously with version locks
- [Bug] Claude deletes environment files during code operations
- Vim-mode-aware keybinding contexts: ctrl+u scroll binding collides with insert-mode line editing in fullscreen
- Auto-stash on branch switch uses --include-untracked, silently sweeping untracked files (appear deleted)
- Channel messages that trigger no_response still incur full API billing
- [Bug] Anthropic API Error: False-positive Usage Policy block on biomedical research with Opus 4.8
Changelog
What's changed
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTESvalues are now included as labels on metric datapoints, so you can slice usage metrics by custom dimensions like team or repoclaude agentsrows now showdone/totalbefore the detail when work is fanned out; peek shows the longest-running item/mcpnow collapses claude.ai connectors you've never signed in to behind a "Show unused connectors" row- Parallel tool calls: a failed Bash command no longer cancels other calls in the same batch — each tool returns its own result independently
- Fullscreen mode: clipboard now uses
wl-copy/xclip/xselon Linux when available, copies to both the clipboard and PRIMARY selection for middle-click paste, and the "hold {key} for native selection" hint now shows the correct key per terminal - Fixed the
/effortdialog, workflow animations, and prompt keyword shimmer not honoring the "Reduce motion" setting - Fixed
forceLoginOrgUUID/forceLoginMethodmanaged-settings policies blocking third-party provider sessions (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Mantle) alongside the org pin (regression in 2.1.146) - Fixed background subagent output corrupting
claude -pstdout when using--output-format textorjson - Fixed
/usage-creditsstarting a re-login for Team and Enterprise admins instead of pointing to the organization's usage settings page - Fixed
/autofix-prreporting "cannot run on the default branch" when the session is inside a git worktree or another repository - Fixed
--resumepicker not showing sessions from the current directory when it isn't a git worktree (e.g., jj workspaces) - Fixed Windows hooks that invoke bash explicitly (e.g.,
/usr/bin/bash script.sh) failing with "command not found" or "cannot execute binary file" - Fixed OpenTelemetry log events (
user_prompt,api_request,tool_result,tool_decision) being silently dropped when emitted before telemetry initialization completed - Fixed
claude mcplist/get/add printing secrets to the terminal:${VAR}references are no longer expanded, and credential headers and URL secrets are redacted - Fixed Workflow agents spawned with
isolation: "worktree"in background sessions being blocked from editing files inside their own worktree - Fixed background sessions dispatched from
claude agentsbooting on a stale model from the daemon's environment instead of the model insettings.json - Fixed a potential crash when rendering Write tool results after resuming a session
- Fixed completed subagents getting stuck showing as running when an error occurs while finalizing their result
- Fixed
EADDRINUSEerrors from tools that bind Unix sockets under$TMPDIRwhenCLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIRis set to a deep path - Improved terminal rendering performance by stabilizing the layout engine's JIT compilation profile
- Improved rendering performance for large file writes
- [VSCode] Added a tip suggesting disabling terminal GPU acceleration (or running
/terminal-setup) to fix garbled glyphs
