Release Notes
- Added gateway spend-limit support to Claude Code's usage warning; the limit-reached message now names the cap, its reset time, and the operator's message (requires the gateway on 2.1.225)
- Added a workspace trust prompt to claude agents for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of claude
- Fixed a transient 401 replacing a long-lived CLAUDECODEOAUTHTOKEN with a stored login's short-lived token, breaking headless sessions until restart
- Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
- Fixed auto mode counting a safety-filter refusal of its own permission check toward the consecutive-block limit; the action is still denied, but the model is now told to move on rather than retry
- Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
- Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
- Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
- Fixed claude self-hosted-runner registering and then failing every session when --base-dir cannot be created or written; it now exits at startup with a clear error
- Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
- Improved Remote Control: photos attached from the Claude app are now shown to Claude directly instead of being read from disk with a separate tool call
- [VSCode] Fixed Focus view folding away the latest to-do list, a pending question's context, and settled answers; thinking-only folds show "Thought for Ns" and re-collapse when their turn completes
- SendMessage can now start a conversation with your Remote Control sessions on other machines by name (ListAgents shows them as name [ref]), instead of only replying after they message you first
- SendMessage: a Remote Control recipient you already confirmed is never swapped for a same-named session on this machine when its own list couldn't be checked
