Claude Code v2.1.288

What's changed

• Added $.ui.selection() for mods: returns the text you last selected in fullscreen mode and, when the selection lies within one transcript row, that row
• Added a built-in gh api to cloud sessions whose image has no GitHub CLI, and fixed the built-in sending control characters from file names, jq filters or GitHub errors to the terminal
• Added recovery for a prompt cleared with Ctrl+C: pressing Up on the empty prompt brings the draft back, including pasted text and images
• Added a re-authenticate prompt when an MCP server asks for more OAuth scope during a tool call
• Added --max-findings <n>|all to /code-review to report more or fewer findings than the usual limit; the choice is reused until you pass --max-findings default
• Added Ctrl+F to find a session by name and Alt+↑/↓ to jump between groups in the agents view; both, and rename, can be rebound in keybindings.json
• Added a screen reader mode announcement of the new permission mode when you approve a plan, including with Shift+Tab
• Fixed mid-response API timeouts failing the turn: non-interactive sessions and subagents now continue from the partial response, and thinking-only responses are retried
• Fixed long conversations failing with "Prompt is too long" instead of auto-compacting when the last reply reported zero token usage
• Fixed --resume sometimes dropping files and other context that a compaction had just restored
• Fixed a resumed session sometimes not saving the last response of a turn, so that the next --resume showed the prompt unanswered
• Fixed resume occasionally loading a transcript cut short when the same session rewrote the file during the load
• Fixed resuming a conversation started on 2.1.286 or earlier dropping the model's earlier thinking
• Fixed session titles, memory recall and prompt hooks failing on Mantle or behind gateways that reject structured outputs; added CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_STRUCTURED_OUTPUTS to turn structured outputs off
• Fixed auto mode denials pointing Claude at a Bash permission rule when the blocked tool was not Bash
• Fixed auto mode on Bedrock and Mantle switching to the local classifier for the rest of the session after a request to an older model, such as a WebFetch summary or a sonnet subagent
• Fixed cloud sessions that restarted on a newly picked model replying with that model after the server refused it
• Fixed Cowork cloud sessions staying marked as waiting for input after a WebFetch permission prompt for an unapproved URL went unanswered for five minutes
• Fixed prompt suggestions not appearing on a phone that joins a Cowork cloud session started on another device
• Fixed a mod's button sometimes running a different button's action when pressed on a view drawn before Claude Code restarted
• Fixed a plugin's pane showing nothing when one Code element held a diff that does not parse; it now draws as plain code
• Fixed plugin LSP servers receiving literal ${user_config.*} and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} placeholders in initializationOptions and settings instead of substituted values or manifest defaults
• Fixed a plugin's tool.call hook making Bash fail and file searches read the wrong folder in subagents that run in a worktree
• Fixed git-subdir plugin installs failing, or caching an incomplete plugin, on older git (before 2.39, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04's 2.34)
• Fixed plugins loaded with --plugin-dir not showing "Configure options" in /plugin
• Fixed background sessions ending when a plugin was reloaded or disabled while one of its timers or reads was still running
• Fixed sandboxed heredocs with an unquoted delimiter (python3 <<EOF) asking for approval on every run under sandbox auto-allow when the body holds only plain text and simple $VAR references
• Fixed Bash tool permission check to prompt before a BASHPID assignment whose value the shell would evaluate as arithmetic, instead of allowing it silently
• Fixed fullscreen sessions exiting with "unrecoverable interface error" when opening the background tasks dialog while a plugin or mod showed rows above the prompt
• Fixed Claude reporting a message to another session as delivered when that session held it: the notice now says it wasn't delivered and names the session, and in SDK sessions Claude can now learn of it mid-turn
• Fixed OpenTelemetry claude_code.tool.blocked_on_user spans reporting unknown source or decision in -p and SDK sessions and for PreToolUse hook approvals
• Fixed permission asks that ended unanswered, in -p or on an interrupted turn, emitting no tool_decision event
• Fixed Edit and Retry in Cowork cloud sessions refusing a message sent before /compact even though its history was still saved
• Fixed unattended sessions (CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) retrying for hours after a very long response stream failed; Claude Code now streams again, and gives up after three timeouts
• Fixed /login reporting "Login successful" when credentials could not be saved to secure storage; it now shows the failure, and offers a retry when the new login didn't take effect (anthropics/claude-code#73861)
• Fixed a Stop during Bedrock credential lookup sometimes moving the session to a fallback model instead of ending the request
• Fixed a second gcpAuthRefresh/awsAuthRefresh browser sign-in opening when a laptop wakes from sleep while another Claude Code process is signing in
• Fixed agent teams: a plugin-defined agent spawned by name now runs with its own prompt, tools, disallowedTools and effort instead of the defaults
• Fixed headless (-p / SDK) sessions occasionally ignoring SIGTERM when a supervisor such as timeout or systemd sends SIGCONT alongside it
• Fixed restarted cloud sessions restoring a model that the organization's enforced model list refuses
• Fixed MCP tool calls sometimes running twice when a remote server's result was over 16 MB or could not be parsed
• Fixed subagents in Claude Desktop's Code tab getting none of the tools of a user-configured MCP server named memory
• Fixed Claude in Chrome asking before every screenshot and page read on a site you allowed when auto mode is unavailable (such as with disableAutoMode or an older model); typing, navigation and JavaScript still ask
• Fixed claude plugin install failing for GitHub-source plugins on macOS and Linux machines with no GitHub SSH key: the clone now falls back to HTTPS and prints a notice
• Fixed sandbox.credentials.files entries on git config files not taking effect while permissions.blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories is on
• Fixed Claude leaving out your organization's design systems when starting slides or a design with the Artifact tool on Team and Enterprise plans or machines with managed settings
• Fixed the keyboard not working on Windows after Claude Code restarts itself (first sign-in to a Claude apps gateway, provider setup, /tui)
• Fixed a stall when launching an agent whose tools: lists very many Agent(...) entries
• Fixed sessions on Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3 Sonnet failing on every turn after a whole PDF entered the conversation
• Fixed the npm auto-updater reporting success when the platform-native binary failed to download and only the placeholder claude stub was installed
• Fixed Remote Control cleanup archiving a session that is still connected or was just re-attached by another Claude Code process
• Fixed owner/repo plugin marketplaces showing only the second attempt's error when both the SSH and HTTPS fetch fail; both errors are now shown, with the transport tried first on top
• Fixed path-scoped .claude/rules and nested CLAUDE.md files not loading when Write or Edit creates or changes a file in their scope (previously only Read loaded them)
• Fixed a dangerous rm (such as one on / or the home directory) inside a bash -c or sh -c script running without a prompt in bypassPermissions mode or under a shell allow rule (anthropics/claude-code#96300)
