Claude Code v2.1.301

What's changed

• Added CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG_MAX_USAGE_LIMIT_WAIT_MS so unattended retry mode (CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) ends a request at a usage limit that resets too far away instead of waiting
• Added OpenTelemetry tracing guidance to the claude-api skill, including setting up trace destinations with the ant CLI
• Added the % motion to vim mode: jump to the matching bracket, alone or with d/c/y
• Added rows to a mod's Input: a text field of several lines in the terminal, where Enter submits and Shift+Enter or a backslash before Enter starts a new line
• Added classifier_verdict and permission_mode to OpenTelemetry tool_decision events, so auto mode classifier decisions can be told apart from permission rules
• Added classifier_category to OpenTelemetry tool_decision events, naming the built-in rule a classifier block matched, when OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS=1
• Fixed quitting removing a worktree made by a WorktreeCreate hook without asking when it may hold unpushed commits
• Fixed the fable (and best) model alias erroring on the Anthropic API when the newest Fable model is not available to your organization: Claude Code now retries once on the previous Fable model
• Fixed a misleading "Please run /login" error when a full disk keeps the login from being refreshed; the error now names the disk and says to delete files
• Fixed Grep and Glob reporting no matches when the search program failed unexpectedly before returning any results; they now return an error saying the search failed
• Fixed workflow agents sometimes skipping their step, and the run still reporting success, after reading the harness note that their task text carries no user authority
• Fixed artifact updates being refused where a PreToolUse hook covers Edit or Write; Claude now edits the file and then republishes instead of changing it in the publish call
• Fixed skills and commands with very many or very long argument names stalling for seconds when invoked; only the first 64 names, each up to 64 characters, are now filled in
• Fixed skills, commands and hooks using very large amounts of memory when their arguments fill many placeholders
• Fixed stray characters such as >0q covering the folder trust prompt, and >4m before the shell prompt at exit, in terminals built on VTE older than 0.53 such as MATE Terminal on RHEL 8
• Fixed stray GOK text appearing in the prompt at startup in some versions of iTerm2
• Fixed switching to a model whose name contains application-inference-profile running your awsAuthRefresh command and delaying model-switch hooks when the provider is not Bedrock
• Fixed sign-in refresh timeouts and unexpected sign-outs after a short command such as claude auth status or claude plugin list exited in the middle of a token refresh
• Fixed a tool call cut off by a message sent mid-turn during its permission check being reported to the model as rejected by the user
• Fixed a case where switching to a model with a smaller context window could spend usage credits on a summary by the previous model without asking first
• Fixed conversations being compacted over and over, on a model you didn't pick, behind an LLM gateway whose responses name a different model than the one requested
• Fixed vim mode sometimes staying in INSERT after Escape on a slow or busy machine
• Fixed Esc discarding a typed AskUserQuestion answer in vim mode: the free-text field now supports vim NORMAL mode, and Esc cancels only from NORMAL
• Fixed the Read tool reading binary files such as .xlsm, .parquet, .epub and .heic as text
• Fixed a Markdown table with only a header row drawing nothing when too wide for the terminal, including in plans on the plan approval card
• Fixed the /claude-api skill saying CMEK external-key endpoints aren't available on Claude Platform on AWS
• Fixed skills no longer being listed to the model after using /rewind
• Fixed the compaction row in a resumed session offering ctrl+o for history that i
