Release Notes
- Added claude plugin eval: run a plugin's eval suite against Claude Code and get scored, reproducible results (JSON + HTML report); see claude plugin eval --help
- Added /output-style [name] to list and switch output styles, including over Remote Control and in cloud and other headless sessions
- Added a diff of the files a Bash command changed to the Bash tool result when the Bash tool handles file edits (setting bashEditDiffEnabled)
- Added OTELMETRICSINCLUDEREPOSITORY to tag OpenTelemetry metrics and events with vcs. repository attributes; commit events get vcs.ref.head. with OTELLOGTOOLDETAILS
- Added CLAUDECODEGATEWAYMODELDISCOVERYTIMEOUTMS to extend the LLM gateway /v1/models discovery timeout (default 3s)
- Added a spinner tip suggesting /focus for a view with just your prompt, a one-line work summary, and the response
- Added CLAUDECODEWORKFLOWMAXCONCURRENTAGENTS (1–256) to raise the Workflow tool's per-run concurrent agent limit for inference-bound fan-outs
- Fixed the prompt cache being partially invalidated on the turn after a response was cut off at the output-token limit and automatically resumed
- Fixed a case where resuming a session after interrupting Claude mid-thought could change how earlier context was re-sent, hurting prompt-cache reuse
- Fixed F1/F2/F4 not working in kitty-protocol terminals and Delete in st, Alt+arrows acting as Escape in rxvt-unicode, and Shift+punctuation typing the unshifted key in We
