Release Notes
- Cost estimates (/cost, status line, --max-budget-usd) now include the 1.1× US-only-inference premium for data-residency workspaces
- Added the one-time fullscreen renderer offer on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other previously excluded setups; new installs there now start in fullscreen
- Added /claude-api upgrade to migrate Python projects from anthropic 0.x to 1.x, and updated the skill's Python reference for 1.x (timeouts use anthropic.Timeout, not httpx.Timeout)
- Cloud sessions: plugins synced from claude.ai now show as name@synced, work with claude plugin enable/disable <name>@synced, and never override a same-named plugin you installed
- Alpine/musl builds: native image paste, clipboard, and audio-capture add-ons now load (musl-built binaries instead of glibc ones refused by the runtime)
- The usage-limit message shown when your monthly spend limit is already used up now also says when your session or weekly limit resets
- Fixed Bedrock streaming behind proxies that strip the response Content-Type header, which silently doubled billed API calls by re-running every turn non-streaming
- Fixed Claude Code hanging at startup behind an HTTPS proxy when using Bedrock with an SSO profile and awsAuthRefresh — the credential pre-check now honors HTTPSPROXY
- Fixed a raw crash dump when starting Claude Code from a directory that no longer exists; it now prints a clear message
- Fixed Edit and Write calls pausing for about 5 seconds in JetBrains IDE terminals when the Claude Code plugin is connected
- Fixed a race where pressing Esc with a prompt queued could let the next turn finish early, leaving the session idle while Claude was still working and letting a later resubmit repeat actions
- Fixed WebFetch retaining expired page content in memory for the whole session instead of the intended 15 minutes
- Fixed cloud sessions (Claude Code on the web, desktop and mobile apps) resuming out of plan mode after an idle worker restart
- Fixed MCP elicitation forms taller than the terminal being clipped in fullscreen mode: the form now fits the window, with hidden fields reachable by scrolling and Accept/Decline always visible
- Fixed remote MCP servers staying failed after a transient 5xx on a mid-session reconnect in cloud sessions or via SDK setMcpServers()
- Fixed custom session titles disappearing from /resume after more than ~64 KB of conversation was written following the rename
- Fixed claude -c/resume picking up sessions from a different directory whose path differed only by characters like , -, or .
- Fixed /resume and the agents view showing a session as recently changed (and reordering it) when only its file was touched or it was merely reopened
- Fixed /resume in all-projects mode telling you to cd into a deleted directory (e.g. a removed worktree); such sessions now resume in the current directory
- Fixed the dark-ansi theme rendering expanded tool results in fullscreen mode with text the same color as the background
- Fixed the fullscreen renderer prompt reappearing on every launch when it could never be answered; it now stops after being shown on three launches
- Fixed .worktreeinclude patterns starting with / silently matching nothing when the target lived in a gitignored directory
- Fixed agents, skills, and commands whose .md file starts with a UTF-8 BOM being silently ignored
- Fixed marketplace metadata.pluginRoot having no effect: bare plugin source names now resolve under it as the docs describe
- Fixed mouse movement in browser-based terminals inserting text like "35;150;7M" into the prompt when a mouse report arrived split across writes
- Fixed custom theme overrides for the effort/ultracode status badge colors being ignored
- Fixed OpenTelemetry trace fragmentation: tool executions deferred by a PreToolUse hook now resume in the original turn's trace instead of starting a new trace
- Fixed vim mode in the agent view: Escape now switches to NORMAL mode and keeps your text instead of clearing the prompt
- Fixed the selection:copy keybinding silently dropping a text selection that had been extended with Shift+Arrow keys
- Fixed the /voice startup tip still appearing after voice dictation was enabled via the voice.enabled setting
- Fixed shell-mode (!) Tab completion dropping the ./ from a ./script path, which left a command the shell couldn't run
- Fixed fullscreen mode answering a permission prompt or pressing a button when you clicked the terminal window only to bring it back into focus
- Fixed slash-command panels (e.g. /config, /model) in fullscreen mode covering the latest messages; the conversation now stays pinned above the panel
- Fixed the /workflows detail dialog overflowing the terminal and losing its header off-screen when opened while Claude is still responding
- Fixed the Linux sandbox making a nonexistent .git/config.worktree unreadable, which broke every sandboxed git command in repos with extensions.worktreeConfig set
- Fixed hooks failing with "posixspawn ENOENT" after the session's working directory was deleted; they now run from the project root or home directory instead
- Fixed claudeMdExcludes not excluding a symlinked .claude/rules file when the pattern names the rules directory or the symlink rather than its target
- Fixed runaway session-title syncing to Remote Control when two Claude Code processes shared one background job's state (2.1.232 regression); title updates are now deduplicated and rate-limited
- Fixed sessions whose title starts with / being unaddressable by SendMessage and shown as "(untitled)" in ListAgents
- Fixed Ctrl+W, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+K, Option+Backspace, Option+D and vim df/dt leaving a broken [Pasted text N] placeholder when the cursor was inside it
- Fixed masked (password-style) inputs such as the login code field letting their text be pasted back with Ctrl+Y elsewhere or saved to prompt history when cleared with double Esc
- Fixed Ctrl+Backspace deleting one character instead of a word in search boxes
- Fixed a request rejected by an organi
