Claude Code v2.1.69

What's changed

• Added the /claude-api skill for building applications with the Claude API and Anthropic SDK
• Added Ctrl+U on an empty bash prompt (!) to exit bash mode, matching escape and backspace
• Added numeric keypad support for selecting options in Claude's interview questions (previously only the number row above QWERTY worked)
• Added optional name argument to /remote-control and claude remote-control (/remote-control My Project or --name "My Project") to set a custom session title visible in claude.ai/code
• Added Voice STT support for 10 new languages (20 total) — Russian, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
• Added effort level display (e.g., "with low effort") to the logo and spinner, making it easier to see which effort setting is active
• Added agent name display in terminal title when using claude --agent
• Added sandbox.enableWeakerNetworkIsolation setting (macOS only) to allow Go programs like gh, gcloud, and terraform to verify TLS certificates when using a custom MITM proxy with httpProxyPort
• Added includeGitInstructions setting (and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_GIT_INSTRUCTIONS env var) to remove built-in commit and PR workflow instructions from Claude's system prompt
• Added /reload-plugins command to activate pending plugin changes without restarting
• Added a one-time startup prompt suggesting Claude Code Desktop on macOS and Windows (max 3 showings, dismissible)
• Added ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} variable for skills to reference their own directory in SKILL.md content
• Added InstructionsLoaded hook event that fires when CLAUDE.md or .claude/rules/*.md files are loaded into context
• Added agent_id (for subagents) and agent_type (for subagents and --agent) to hook events
• Added worktree field to status line hook commands with name, path, branch, and original repo directory when running in a --worktree session
• Added pluginTrustMessage in managed settings to append organization-specific context to the plugin trust warning shown before installation
• Added policy limit fetching (e.g., remote control restrictions) for Team plan OAuth users, not just Enterprise
• Added pathPattern to strictKnownMarketplaces for regex-matching file/directory marketplace sources alongside hostPattern restrictions
• Added plugin source type git-subdir to point to a subdirectory within a git repo
• Added oauth.authServerMetadataUrl config option for MCP servers to specify a custom OAuth metadata discovery URL when standard discovery fails
• Fixed a security issue where nested skill discovery could load skills from gitignored directories like node_modules
• Fixed trust dialog silently enabling all .mcp.json servers on first run. You'll now see the per-server approval dialog as expected
• Fixed claude remote-control crashing immediately on npm installs with "bad option: --sdk-url" (anthropics/claude-code#28334)
• Fixed --model claude-opus-4-0 and --model claude-opus-4-1 resolving to deprecated Opus versions instead of current
• Fixed macOS keychain corruption when using multiple OAuth MCP servers. Large OAuth metadata blobs could overflow the security -i stdin buffer, silently leaving stale credentials behind and causing repeated /login prompts.
• Fixed .credentials.json losing subscriptionType (showing "Claude API" instead of "Claude Pro"/"Claude Max") when the profile endpoint transiently fails during token refresh (anthropics/claude-code#30185)
• Fixed ghost dotfiles (.bashrc, HEAD, etc.) appearing as untracked files in the working directory after sandboxed Bash commands on Linux
• Fixed Shift+Enter printing [27;2;13~ instead of inserting a newline in Ghostty over SSH
• Fixed stash (Ctrl+S) being cleared when submitting a message while Claude is working
• Fixed ctrl+o (transcript toggle) freezing for many seconds in long sessions with lots of file edits
• Fixed plan mode feedback input not supporting multi-li
