This release significantly enhances agent management with terminal tab title attention counts, JSON output for scripting, and improved trace parenting for subagents. Plugin discovery is streamlined, now showing commands and skills before installation, alongside new mouse hover and click support for suggestion lists in fullscreen. Key fixes include resolving a permission-prompt bypass, UI freezing issues, cross-project resume problems on Windows, voice push-to-talk, and internationalization for Agent Teams, ensuring a more stable and efficient experience for all users and developers.
Added2
- Added `claude agents --json` to list live Claude sessions as JSON for scripting (tmux-resurrect, status bars, session pickers)
- Added `agent_id` and `parent_agent_id` attributes to `claude_code.tool` OTEL spans, and fixed trace parenting so background subagent spans nest under the dispatching Agent tool span
Improved1
- Improved the Read tool to return a truncated first page with a "PARTIAL view" notice instead of a hard error when a whole-file read exceeds the token limit
Changed5
- Status line JSON input now includes GitHub repo and PR information when detected
- `/plugin` Discover and Browse screens now show a plugin's commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP/LSP servers before installation
- `claude agents` terminal tab title now shows the awaiting-input count so an alt-tabbed window tells you when an agent needs attention
- Slash command and @-mention suggestion list now supports mouse hover and click in fullscreen mode
- Stop and SubagentStop hook input now includes `background_tasks` and `session_crons` fields
Fixed12
- Fixed a permission-prompt bypass where bare variable assignments to non-allowlisted environment variables in Bash commands were auto-approved
- Fixed MCP prompt slash commands showing raw server validation errors when a required argument is omitted — the error now names the missing argument and shows expected usage
- Fixed the spinner and elapsed-time display freezing until a keypress after the terminal was resized or refocused
- Fixed the cross-project resume hint failing in default Windows PowerShell 5.1 — Windows now uses `;` as the command separator
- Fixed voice push-to-talk not working in the agent view's reply pane
- Fixed task lists rendering in random order when several tasks are created at once
- Fixed stale "Failed to install Anthropic marketplace" banner showing when the marketplace is already installed
- Fixed the PR badge in the footer not updating immediately after `gh pr create` and other PR-state-changing commands run in-session
- Fixed Agent Teams teammates with non-ASCII names failing every API call due to invalid header encoding
- Fixed `/review` using a deprecated `projectCards` GraphQL query that errored on repos with Classic Projects
- Fixed `claude plugin validate` not flagging `skills:` entries that point at a file instead of a directory — the error now suggests the parent directory
- Fixed an infinite loop where a skill using `context: fork` could repeatedly re-invoke itself instead of running
