Claude Code v2.1.260

What's changed

• Added a diff panel that opens beside the conversation in fullscreen mode and shows your uncommitted changes as Claude edits; toggle it with /diff
• Added a likely cause for prompt-cache misses (e.g. tool definitions or system prompt changed, idle past the TTL) to /cost and the status line's prompt_cache field
• Added /reload-plugins to headless sessions, so it appears in the Claude Code Desktop and SDK command lists
• Added a text form of /advisor (/advisor, /advisor <model>, /advisor off) for the desktop app, Remote Control, and other headless (-p/Agent SDK) sessions
• Added oidc.scope_on_refresh to the Claude apps gateway for IdPs that return an id_token on refresh only when asked for openid again
• Added Claude apps gateway support for newer Claude Desktop keys in desktop policy blocks, including userPluginMarketplacesEnabled and userPluginUploadsEnabled
• Fixed Edit/Write/Read permission rules whose path contains parentheses being dropped as invalid or ignored by the Bash sandbox, which left "read-only" folders writable
• Fixed one file permission rule with an uncompilable pattern (e.g. an unclosed [) making every file edit fail with Invalid regular expression; such a deny rule now guards the literal path it spells
• Fixed Bash permission checks auto-approving zsh commands that hide a command substitution in a REPORTTIME, REPORTMEMORY or DIRSTACKSIZE assignment; these now prompt for approval
• Fixed Bedrock model discovery, token counting and AWS SSO/STS credential calls failing with "unable to get local issuer certificate" when the corporate root CA is only in the OS certificate store
• Fixed permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories on macOS hiding the user's git config from sandboxed git and hiding a worktree-isolated sub-agent's own checkout
• Fixed managed settings not loading for claude.ai Enterprise/Team users who also had a leftover API key from an earlier /login
• Fixed /status listing a signed-in claude.ai account and a configured API key as if both were in effect; the credential not in use is now marked
• Fixed managed skillOverrides entries keyed on a bundled skill's alias (e.g. checkup for /doctor) not applying, and Skill(name) deny rules not covering a nested skill listed as <dir>:name
• Fixed model: fable agents ignoring the [1m] tag on an ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_FABLE_MODEL pin and silently running with a 200K context window
• Fixed the /model picker not showing Fable 5.1 for organizations that can use it, which was only accepted when typed as /model claude-fable-5-1
• Fixed prompt caching on Claude Fable 5.1 not covering the context attached after tool results, so it was re-sent as uncached input on every tool-call turn
• Fixed model switching staying blocked for the rest of the session after a plugin hook load failure; each switch now re-checks and the refusal names the cause
• Fixed model switching being blocked for the session when an organization-managed plugin's marketplace could not be loaded
• Fixed SDK-provided MCP servers (e.g. Desktop connectors) sometimes missing from the first turn and only appearing on the next one
• Fixed Claude in Chrome tools failing with "Not connected" mid-task in cloud-hosted claude.ai sessions when a connector was added or removed
• Fixed flags, joined emoji and accented letters splitting across wrapped lines, and stale text staying on screen when a flag or joined emoji falls in the terminal's last two columns (now shown as …)
• Fixed Remote Control accepting a model pick that is not a valid model name; it is now refused with an error instead of failing on the next message
• Fixed /rewind and --rewind-files reporting success when checkpoint backup files were missing and nothing was actually restored
• Fixed /rewind leaving stale file-read tracking from the rewound-away turns, which caused "File unchanged since last read" stubs and full-file re-injection after external edits
• Fi
