Release Notes
- Added --marketplace <source> to claude plugin install: adds the marketplace if needed, under the same policy checks as claude plugin marketplace add, then installs the plugin from it
- Added an effort parameter to the Agent tool, so Claude runs a sub-agent at the effort level you ask for
- Added CLAUDECODEOVERLOADEDRETRYBASEDELAYMS environment variable to set a longer base delay for the backoff when retrying an overloaded (529) request
- Added prompt.autocomplete, an event a mod hooks to add its own rows to the prompt box's autocomplete list
- Added prompt caching to $.model.complete for mods: prompt and system take blocks of text, and cache: true on a block caches the request up to it
- Added workflow agents to the agent.spawn mod hook, with their run and index, so a mod can refuse them
- Fixed subagent definitions with permissionMode: auto entering auto mode when auto mode is unavailable (disabled by settings, circuit breaker, or a model that doesn't support it)
- Fixed sandboxed commands being able to read the staged file copies of /ultrareview uploads under ~/.claude/seed-admin
- Fixed a managed sandbox read-deny path (and user ones beside it) that appears or re-points mid-session not dropping project grants inside it or ending credential injection from files it covers
- Fixed a notebook or PDF read on macOS and Windows being able to return a file outside what was approved, through a link swapped in mid-read
- Fixed a tampered on-disk cache of server-managed settings being able to switch off or unseat the built-in policy plugin while the settings fetch failed
- Fixed rm -rf on the 8.3 short name or another alternate Windows spelling of the home folder or a drive not being treated as removing it
- Security: Fixed PreToolUse hook approvals and auto mode bypassing the permission prompt for file reads from network (UNC) paths
- Fixed a skill's or slash command's allowed-tools rule coming back in a later turn when you leave auto mode or plan mode partway through that turn
- Fixed NOPROXY being ignored for Claude Code's own API requests (sign-in, policy, feedback, artifacts) when HTTPSPROXY is set
- Fixed an MCP tool with a name longer than 128 characters making every request fail; that tool is now left out and an MCP error names it
- Fixed claude plugin commands such as marketplace add and install running before an organi
