What's changed

  • Fixed Bash commands failing with "task output swap refused (tasks dir moved or linked)" on some Macs
  • Fixed "always allow" not saving in a project that has no .claude/settings.local.json yet
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by Claude Desktop or VS Code stalling for minutes after a tool finished when the connection to claude.ai was degraded
  • Fixed background task notifications with very large failure output (for example git errors on a full disk) making the conversation exceed the API request size limit
