Changelog

What's changed

  • Added $.ui.selection() for mods: returns the text you last selected in fullscreen mode and, when the selection lies within one transcript row, that row
  • Added a built-in gh api to cloud sessions whose image has no GitHub CLI, and fixed the built-in sending control characters from file names, jq filters or GitHub errors to the terminal
  • Added recovery for a prompt cleared with Ctrl+C: pressing Up on the empty prompt brings the draft back, including pasted text and images
  • Added a re-authenticate prompt when an MCP server asks for more OAuth scope during a tool call
  • Added --max-findings <n>|all to /code-review to report more or fewer findings than the usual limit; the choice is reused until you pass --max-findings default
  • Added Ctrl+F to find a session by name and Alt+↑/↓ to jump between groups in the agents view; both, and rename, can be rebound in keybindings.json
  • Added a screen reader mode announcement of the new permission mode when you approve a plan, including with Shift+Tab
  • Fixed mid-response API timeouts failing the turn: non-interactive sessions and subagents now continue from the partial response, and thinking-only responses are retried
  • Fixed long conversations failing with "Prompt is too long" instead of auto-compacting when the last reply reported zero token usage
  • Fixed --resume sometimes dropping files and other context that a compaction had just restored
  • Fixed a resumed session sometimes not saving the last response of a turn, so that the next --resume showed the prompt unanswered
  • Fixed resume occasionally loading a transcript cut short when the same session rewrote the file during the load
  • Fixed resuming a conversation started on 2.1.286 or earlier dropping the model's earlier thinking
  • Fixed session titles, memory recall and prompt hooks failing on Mantle or behind gateways that reject structured outputs; added CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_STRUCTURED_OUTPUTS to turn structured outputs off
  • Fixed auto mode denials pointing Claude at a Bash permission rule when the blocked tool was not Bash
  • Fixed auto mode on Bedrock and Mantle switching to the local classifier for the rest of the session after a request to an older model, such as a WebFetch summary or a sonnet subagent
  • Fixed cloud sessions that restarted on a newly picked model replying with that model after the server refused it
  • Fixed Cowork cloud sessions staying marked as waiting for input after a WebFetch permission prompt for an unapproved URL went unanswered for five minutes
  • Fixed prompt suggestions not appearing on a phone that joins a Cowork cloud session started on another device
  • Fixed a mod's button sometimes running a different button's action when pressed on a view drawn before Claude Code restarted
  • Fixed a plugin's pane showing nothing when one Code element held a diff that does not parse; it now draws as plain code
  • Fixed plugin LSP servers receiving literal ${user_config.*} and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} placeholders in initializationOptions and settings instead of substituted values or manifest defaults
  • Fixed a plugin's tool.call hook making Bash fail and file searches read the wrong folder in subagents that run in a worktree
  • Fixed git-subdir plugin installs failing, or caching an incomplete plugin, on older git (before 2.39, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04's 2.34)
  • Fixed plugins loaded with --plugin-dir not showing "Configure options" in /plugin
  • Fixed background sessions ending when a plugin was reloaded or disabled while one of its timers or reads was still running
  • Fixed sandboxed heredocs with an unquoted delimiter (python3 <<EOF) asking for approval on every run under sandbox auto-allow when the body holds only plain text and simple $VAR references
  • Fixed Bash tool permission check to prompt before a BASHPID assignment whose value the shell would evaluate as arithmetic, instead of allowing it silently
  • Fixed fullscreen sessions exiting with "unrecoverable interface
