Changelog

What's changed

  • Subagent forking is now on by default: a subagent_type: "fork" subagent inherits the full conversation and prompt cache, and non-teammate agent spawns in interactive sessions now run in the background by default
  • Type @ in the prompt to mention another Claude session by name; Claude then uses SendMessage to reach that session directly
  • SendMessage now delivers to a bare name that exactly matches one live session, instead of asking to confirm with a ref first
  • Interactive sessions on one machine now keep unique names: starting or renaming a session to a name another live session already uses gives it a name-word-word variant and tells you
  • Added /config rows for "Dialog expiry" and "Messages from your other sessions" (cross-session inbound accept/hold/refuse)
  • Added secret redaction for GitLab token families (glrt-, gloas-, glptt-, glagent-, glimt-, glsoat-, glcbt-, glft-, glffct-) and full redaction of routable glpat-/gldt- tokens; the glab CLI config store gets the same sandbox and credential-path protection as gh
  • Added GitLab support to plugin marketplaces: bare gitlab.com repo URLs (including nested subgroups) now clone like github.com URLs, and clone auth-failure hints name your actual git host
  • Settings: additionalMarketplaces and allowedMarketplaces are now accepted as friendlier aliases for extraKnownMarketplaces and strictKnownMarketplaces
  • Enterprise policy: a url-typed blockedMarketplaces entry for a bare repo URL keeps blocking that URL when the CLI classifies it as a git clone
  • Gateway: the desktop: overlay now accepts every released Desktop setting (was 11 hand-listed keys), validated at boot against Desktop's own schema; unknown or invalid keys fail boot
  • Gateway: empty managed.policies[].match.groups/admin.admin_groups entries and malformed email_domain values (empty, or containing @, whitespace, or commas) now fail at boot instead of silently matching no one or granting admin access
  • Fable 5 is offered as an advisor in /advisor again for organizations with Fable access, with usage-credits consent set up through /model fable
  • Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass where variable-writing parameters could silently overwrite $PSDefaultParameterValues and redirect later commands' file access
  • Fixed a Windows permission bypass where Git Bash followed Cygwin-style symlinks that path validation saw as regular files; writes through them now require permission approval
  • Fixed nested git repositories inheriting trust from a parent directory; each repository now requires its own trust confirmation
  • Fixed MCP connections hanging for the full 30-second connect timeout when a server fails to answer or sends a malformed reply to the protocol-version probe
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by a bridge inside a cloud session inheriting that session's transcript or credentials
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions started from Claude Desktop or an IDE appearing as a new claude.ai session each time the local session was resumed; they now reattach to the existing one
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions appearing unreachable to newly attached clients while idle
  • Fixed Remote Control bridge sessions not restoring conversation history when the session worker restarts
  • Remote Control: resuming a conversation whose session was deleted from claude.ai or the app now starts a replacement instead of failing with a message about your login (regressed in v2.1.227)
  • Fixed Cloud gateway /login exiting silently or leaving an unresponsive terminal after "Press Enter to continue" when managed settings failed to load; the reason is now shown
  • Fixed voice mode on native builds getting stuck on "listening…" when the voice service rejected the connection; the rejection is now shown immediately
  • Fixed mTLS client certificate rotation requiring a restart; Claude Code now reloads the rotated cert and key automatically on connection errors
  • Fixed malf
