Claude Code 2.1.269

[What's changed] 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`

[What's changed] [VSCode] Added an agent map: an "N agents" footer pill opens a map of the session's sub-agents with per-agent cards, Stop agent, and read-only transcripts

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Added a confirmation dialog before Connect all or Disconnect on a GitHub installation in admin settings, to guard against accidental organization-wide changes

[What's changed] Added `/output-style [name]` to list and switch output styles, including over Remote Control and in cloud and other headless sessions

[What's changed] Added a diff of the files a Bash command changed to the Bash tool result when the Bash tool handles file edits (setting `bashEditDiffEnabled`)

[What's changed] Added `CLAUDE_CODE_WORKFLOW_MAX_CONCURRENT_AGENTS` (1–256) to raise the Workflow tool's per-run concurrent agent limit for inference-bound fan-outs

[What's changed] Improved the `/diff` panel to open fully rendered in one step instead of showing a loading state first

[What's changed] Improved the Skill tool's "Unknown skill" error to name the plugin skill's full name when a bare name matches exactly one plugin skill

[What's changed] Changed `/ultrareview --post` to post the PR comment directly when the findings arrive and print the comment link, instead of starting a second cloud session to post it

[What's changed] Changed artifact database reads that save into the session scratchpad so they no longer stop for working-folder approval

[What's changed] [VSCode] Added a Hooks dialog to the command menu for viewing hooks and adding, editing, or removing them in user, project, and local settings; managed, plugin, and session hooks stay read-only

[What's changed] [VSCode] Added a Permission rules dialog that lists permission rules and adds or removes them in user, project, and local settings; startup-option, session-only, and managed rules stay read-only

[What's changed] [VSCode] Improved documents and messages written for someone other than the user: Claude now writes them for that audience and names it at the top of its reply

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Added taking back a queued message in a cloud session before Claude reads it: remove it from the queue, or press Esc or Up, and the text returns to the message box

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Improved scheduled routines in Slack channels: a routine run can now reply in an existing thread instead of always posting a new top-level channel message

[What's changed] Added `CLAUDE_CODE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS` to extend the LLM gateway `/v1/models` discovery timeout (default 3s)

[What's changed] Added a spinner tip suggesting `/focus` for a view with just your prompt, a one-line work summary, and the response

[What's changed] Improved prompt suggestion filtering for Japanese, Chinese and Korean text: mixed-script and single-word suggestions are kept, and meta or evaluative text is dropped as it is for English

[What's changed] Improved keyboard support over SSH and in unrecognized terminals: terminals that answer the kitty keyboard query (such as foot and Alacritty 0.16+) now get Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift shortcuts

[What's changed] Improved first-party sessions with telemetry disabled: an `alwaysLoad` MCP server that finishes connecting mid-conversation is usable on the next turn without a tool-search round trip

[What's changed] Changed skills synced from claude.ai in cloud sessions to be named `anthropic-skills:<name>`, matching Claude Desktop; the bare name still works when nothing else uses it

[What's changed] [VSCode] Added live progress rows for running subagents under the tool-call groups in Focus view

[What's changed] [VSCode] Added a Cancel button to the Switch account screen that returns to your session as the current account

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Improved the timestamp on Claude's live progress checklists to show each reader's local time and how long ago it was updated, instead of a fixed UTC time

[What's changed] Added `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_REPOSITORY` to tag OpenTelemetry metrics and events with `vcs.*` repository attributes; commit events get `vcs.ref.head.*` with `OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS`

[What's changed] Fixed `/goal` runs silently stalling after API errors, network drops, or token limits: the goal now retries with backoff, or pauses and says why, including until a usage limit resets

[What's changed] Fixed plugin archives extracted for a session being readable by other local users, extracted files keeping world-writable bits from the archive, and stale files surviving re-extraction

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview accepting comments that went nowhere after its Claude tab closed

[What's changed] Fixed the prompt cache being partially invalidated on the turn after a response was cut off at the output-token limit and automatically resumed

[What's changed] Fixed a case where resuming a session after interrupting Claude mid-thought could change how earlier context was re-sent, hurting prompt-cache reuse

[What's changed] 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 WezTerm (regression in 2.1.247)

[What's changed] Fixed remote and headless sessions reporting "waiting for your input" while background agents were still running (set `CLAUDE_CODE_BG_TASKS_REPORT_RUNNING=0` to restore the old behavior)

[What's changed] Fixed a deny or ask permission rule starting with `!` applying beyond the settings source that wrote it; such a rule now applies only within its own source, and a bare `!` negation is ignored

[What's changed] Fixed the git status Claude is told after a compaction: it is now the current status, not the one from the start of the session

[What's changed] Fixed synced plugin MCP servers not connecting when a remote session resumes

[What's changed] Fixed resumed headless sessions losing a turn's replies when the model was switched or a request was retried mid-turn

[What's changed] Fixed plugin LSP servers that reject `shutdown` params (e.g. rust-analyzer) being left running at session end; `exit` is now sent even if `shutdown` fails

[What's changed] Fixed the attribution reminder overriding a CLAUDE.md or memory rule against commit and pull request attribution; lines set by managed settings still apply

[What's changed] Fixed prompt suggestions being dropped for text in Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other languages written without spaces between words

[What's changed] Fixed `permission_denials` in `--output-format stream-json` results omitting Read, Edit and Write calls blocked by a path-scoped deny rule

[What's changed] Fixed sessions run through the SDK or the desktop app showing an unknown status in other sessions' agent list

[What's changed] Fixed `/insights` failing on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and gateway deployments whose account can't reach the default Opus model by using the session model there instead

[What's changed] Fixed organization policy limits not loading for the session when another Claude Code process refreshed the login at the same moment

[What's changed] Fixed Claude Desktop sessions using Bedrock, Vertex, or a gateway not getting the contextual "what Claude needs" turn-end notification text

[What's changed] Fixed sessions getting permanently stuck on "Prompt is too long" when auto-compaction had no complete earlier exchange to summarize (mostly Agent SDK sessions with very large prompts)

[What's changed] Fixed `/btw` answers that contained made-up tool calls and output: the side question is now told not to write them, and any that appear are flagged as not executed

[What's changed] Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN` re-running a turn that had failed with an API error over 6 hours earlier, or longer ago than `CLAUDE_CODE_RESUME_INTERRUPTED_TURN_MAX_AGE_MS` when set

[What's changed] Fixed organization plugins enabled through managed settings not loading in headless sessions and on Claude Desktop (once Desktop bundles this CLI version); they load from the next session

[What's changed] Fixed `Edit()` deny rules and the write-path check not applying to the file a Bash `tee` command writes; a `Bash(tee:*)` allow rule no longer covers destinations outside the working directories

[What's changed] Fixed stray characters like `22c`, or a terminal's color or version reply, being typed into the prompt at startup over slow connections (ssh, browser terminals)

[What's changed] Windows: Fixed PowerShell tool commands sent to the background stopping when Claude Code exits

[What's changed] Improved responsiveness in long sessions: transcript updates no longer re-process the whole conversation to build the collapsed tool-use summaries

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed the sidebar usage meter keeping a stale per-model weekly limit row after the account loses that limit

[What's changed] [VSCode] Improved screen reader and keyboard accessibility in the slash-command menu, @-mention menu, output-style picker, Send/Stop button, permission and question cards, and onboarding checklist

[What's changed] [VSCode] Removed the Claude Code items from a session tab's right-click menu and the editor title bar's "..." menu; they could not act on the tab the menu was opened on

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Fixed routine runs that use subagents sometimes being treated as finished too early, which could skip the retry after a real failure or start a duplicate run

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Fixed threads occasionally going silent after a failed turn because the failure notice was dropped when Slack briefly rate-limited it; the notice is now retried

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude accepting a switch to a model your organization hasn't enabled and then quietly answering with a fallback model; it now declines and says an admin can enable it

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Fixed a table posting as raw pipe text when Claude attached files to the same message; the table now posts as a normal reply and the files follow with a plain caption

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Fixed plugin rows in Slack access settings showing an unlabeled raw ID with no way to turn the plugin off; they now show its name and link to the bundle that manages it

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Improved load time of the admin settings page and its Slack channel picker, most noticeably for organizations with many channels or several connected workspaces

[What's changed] Fixed the terminal's replies to capability queries (`^[[?1;2c`) appearing as stray text at startup in some terminals

[What's changed] Fixed rows at the top or bottom of the transcript going blank in fullscreen after resizing the terminal

[What's changed] Fixed terminal escape codes, line breaks and oversized text from a background task's on-disk record reaching the task list and task notifications when work is resumed

[What's changed] Fixed CMYK JPEG images failing to attach with "cannot decode"; they are now converted and resized like other JPEGs

[What's changed] Fixed the managed settings approval dialog not naming the collector for a gRPC telemetry endpoint set without a scheme

[What's changed] Fixed plugin `headersHelper` consent prompts showing a URL path that could be misread as a different host

[What's changed] Fixed missing cursor in the permission-rule, auto-mode-rule, add-directory, session-rename and feedback-review text fields when the terminal's native cursor is enabled

[What's changed] Fixed repeated clicks on a `/fork` receipt, each under a second apart, never backgrounding the session right away while it waited for the current tool to finish

[What's changed] Fixed synchronized output being assumed from the terminal's name in GNOME Terminal and Konsole versions that do not support it

[What's changed] Fixed MCP servers reconnecting when an updated config only changed the order of the server URL's query parameters

[What's changed] Fixed the prompt box's top border splitting into extra lines when viewing a background agent whose name or description has line breaks or is wider than the terminal

[What's changed] Fixed prompt cache misses in cloud sessions by waiting briefly for server configuration before the first request

[What's changed] Fixed the terminal's block cursor showing under the interface in rxvt-unicode after leaving or re-entering fullscreen

[What's changed] Fixed the cursor block staying visible after returning from an external editor in fullscreen mode on rxvt-unicode

[What's changed] Fixed the interface being drawn twice after returning from an external editor (Ctrl+G) outside fullscreen mode

[What's changed] Fixed the interface being drawn twice in Konsole after returning from an external editor

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed Focus view showing a turn started by a delivered plain-text prompt, such as a scheduled task's, as part of the previous turn

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed the footer's prompt cache clock hiding its minutes when the panel is narrow

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed the session list keeping sessions from the default folder when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set in a settings file or the `environmentVariables` setting

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed a plan preview that finished loading late sometimes hiding its comment box or showing an older plan

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed the prompt cache clock and reopen notice for a session compacted after its last reply and then closed, which now reads as cold when reopened

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed a session renamed in the extension while Remote Control is on keeping its old name on claude.ai/code

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed the "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" toggle keeping its last position after the setting was reset to default from a terminal

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed restored Claude tabs not counting as open in the session list after a window reload until clicked, and their row opening a second tab

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed Switch account making a tab forget its dismissed usage-limit warnings when you sign back in as the same account

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed a session rename being replaced by the generated name after a window reload when the session was renamed during a long turn

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed a rare case where an @-mention sent with the keyboard shortcut while a new chat view was still starting could be inserted into the input long after the keystroke

[What's changed] [VSCode] Fixed the session list jumping down when the Account & usage header appeared a moment after opening the Claude side bar

[What's changed] [VSCode] Changed the current-file chip in the message box: an X now removes it, replacing the Hide toggle

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Fixed `/model default` in a cloud session leaving every later message failing in organizations that restrict which models Claude Code can use

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Fixed one-off scheduled routines occasionally running a second time after a transient server error

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Fixed file links in cloud session transcripts opening a GitHub 404 when Claude was working from a subfolder of the repository

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Changed the Cloud environments admin page to list every environment instead of capping each table at five rows behind a Show more control that could be unreachable

[What's changed] [Claude Code on the web] Changed claude.ai/code for Free-plan users to open the plans page with a path to upgrade, instead of a "Disabled by org admin" page with no way forward

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Fixed `@Claude !restart` at the top level of a channel where Claude isn't active starting an unrelated conversation; it now privately says there is nothing to restart

[What's changed] [Claude Tag] Fixed the shared-session banner and Share dialog on sessions started from Slack claiming the whole organization could open the link; they now name the Slack channel's audience

[What's changed] Fixed plugin errors showing `[redacted URL]` in place of a relative Windows path with a folder name that starts with `@`
