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 /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 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-line text entry (backslash+Enter and Shift+Enter now insert newlines)
Fixed cursor not moving down into blank lines at the top of the input box
Fixed /stats crash when transcript files contain entries with missing or malformed timestamps
Fixed a brief hang after a streaming error on long sessions (the transcript was being fully rewritten to drop one line; it is now truncated in place)
Fixed --setting-sources user not blocking dynamically discovered project skills
Fixed duplicate CLAUDE.md, slash commands, agents, and rules when running from a worktree nested inside its main repo (e.g. claude -w)
Fixed plugin Stop/SessionEnd/etc hooks not firing after any /plugin operation
Fixed plugin hooks being silently dropped when two plugins use the same ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/... command template
Fixed memory leak in long-running SDK/CCR sessions where conversation messages were retained unnecessarily
Fixed API 400 errors in forked agents (autocompact, summarization) when resuming sessions that were interrupted mid-tool-batch
Fixed "unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result blocks" error when resuming conversations that start with an orphaned tool result
Fixed teammates accidentally spawning nested teammates via the Agent tool's name parameter
Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS being ignored during conversation compaction
Fixed /compact summary rendering as a user bubble in SDK consumers (Claude Code Remote web UI, VSCode extension)
Fixed voice space bar getting stuck after a failed voice activation (module loading race, cold GrowthBook)
Fixed worktree file copy on Windows
Fixed global .claude folder detection on Windows
Fixed symlink bypass where writing new files through a symlinked parent directory could escape the working directory in acceptEdits mode
Fixed sandbox prompting users to approve non-allowed domains when allowManagedDomainsOnly is enabled in managed settings — non-allowed domains are now blocked automatically with no bypass
Fixed interactive tools (e.g., AskUserQuestion) being silently auto-allowed when listed in a skill's allowed-tools, bypassing the permission prompt and running with empty answers
Fixed multi-GB memory spike when committing with large untracked binary files in the working tree
Fixed Escape not interrupting a running turn when the input box has draft text. Use Up arrow to pull queued messages back for editing, or Ctrl+U to clear the input line.
Fixed Android app crash when running local slash commands (/voice, /cost) in Remote Control sessions
Fixed a memory leak where old message array versions accumulated in React Compiler memoCache over long sessions
Fixed a memory leak where REPL render scopes accumulated over long sessions (~35MB over 1000 turns)
Fixed memory retention in in-process teammates where the parent's full conversation history was pinned for the teammate's lifetime, preventing GC after /clear or auto-compact
Fixed a memory leak in interactive mode where hook events could accumulate unboundedly during long sessions
Fixed hang when --mcp-config points to a corrupted file
Fixed slow startup when many skills/plugins are installed
Fixed cd <outside-dir> && <cmd> permission prompt to surface the chained command instead of only showing "Yes, allow reading from /"
Fixed conditional .claude/rules/*.md files (with paths: frontmatter) and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading in print mode (claude -p)
Fixed /clear not fully clearing all session caches, reducing memory retention in long sessions
Fixed terminal flicker caused by animated elements at the scrollback boundary
Fixed UI frame drops on macOS when using MCP servers with OAuth (regression from 2.1.x)
Fixed occasional frame stalls during typing caused by synchronous debug log flushes
Fixed TeammateIdle and TaskCompleted hooks to support {"continue": false, "stopReason": "..."} to stop the teammate, matching Stop hook behavior
Fixed WorktreeCreate and WorktreeRemove plugin hooks being silently ignored
Fixed skill descriptions with colons (e.g., "Triggers include: X, Y, Z") failing to load from SKILL.md frontmatter
Fixed project skills without a description: frontmatter field not appearing in Claude's available skills list
Fixed /context showing identical token counts for all MCP tools from a server
Fixed literal nul file creation on Windows when the model uses CMD-style 2>nul redirection in Git Bash
Fixed extra blank lines appearing below each tool call in the expanded subagent transcript view (Ctrl+O)
Fixed Tab/arrow keys not cycling Settings tabs when /config search box is focused but empty
Fixed service key OAuth sessions (CCR containers) spamming [ERROR] logs with 403s from profile-scoped endpoints
Fixed inconsistent color for "Remote Control active" status indicator
Fixed Voice waveform cursor covering the first suffix letter when dictating mid-input
Fixed Voice input showing all 5 spaces during warmup instead of capping at ~2 (aligning with the "keep holding…" hint)
Improved spinner performance by isolating the 50ms animation loop from the surrounding shell, reducing render and CPU overhead during turns
Improved UI rendering performance in native binaries with React Compiler
Improved --worktree startup by eliminating a git subprocess on the startup path
Improved macOS startup by eliminating redundant settings-file reloads when managed settings resolve
Improved macOS startup for Claude.ai enterprise/team users by skipping an unnecessary keychain lookup
Improved MCP -p startup by pipelining claude.ai config fetch with local connections and using a concurrency pool instead of sequential batching
Improved voice startup by removing imperceptible warmup pulse animations that were causing re-render stutter
Improved MCP binary content handling: tools returning PDFs, Office documents, or audio now save decoded bytes to disk with the correct file extension instead of dumping raw base64 into the conversation context. WebFetch also saves binary responses alongside its summary.
Improved memory usage in long sessions by stabilizing onSubmit across message updates
Improved LSP tool rendering and memory context building to no longer read entire files
Improved session upload and memory sync to avoid reading large files into memory before size/binary checks
Improved file operation performance by avoiding reading file contents for existence checks (6 sites)
Improved documentation to clarify that --append-system-prompt-file and --system-prompt-file work in interactive mode (the docs previously said print mode only)
Reduced baseline memory by ~16MB by deferring Yoga WASM preloading
Reduced memory footprint for SDK and CCR sessions using stream-json output
Reduced memory usage when resuming large sessions (including compacted history)
Reduced token usage on multi-agent tasks with more concise subagent final reports
Changed Sonnet 4.5 users on Pro/Max/Team Premium to be automatically migrated to Sonnet 4.6
Changed the /resume picker to show your most recent prompt instead of the first one. This also resolves some titles appearing as (session).
Changed claude.ai MCP connector failures to show a notification instead of silently disappearing from the tool list
Changed example command suggestions to be generated deterministically instead of calling Haiku
Changed resuming after compaction to no longer produce a preamble recap before continuing
[SDK] Changed task creation to no longer require the activeForm field — the spinner falls back to the task subject
[VSCode] Added compaction display as a collapsible "Compacted chat" card with the summary inside
[VSCode] The permission mode picker now respects permissions.disableBypassPermissionsMode from your effective Claude Code settings (including managed/policy settings) — when set to disable, bypass permissions mode is hidden from the picker
[VSCode] Fixed RTL text (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) rendering reversed in the chat panel (regression in v2.1.63)
