This release introduces fine-grained control over tool parameters within permission rules, alongside enhanced support for nested directories and skills, streamlining project organization for complex environments. Auto mode receives improved subagent review, closing a gap in action evaluation. Extensive fixes address subagent interaction issues, including transcript viewing and backgrounding, and resolve stability problems like memory crashes, authentication failures, and diagnostics display inconsistencies, benefiting all users with more robust and predictable operation.
Added1
- Added `Tool(param:value)` syntax for permission rules to match a tool's input parameters (with `*` wildcard), e.g. `Agent(model:opus)` to block Opus subagents
Improved4
- Improved auto mode: subagent spawns are now evaluated by the classifier before launch, closing a gap where a subagent could request a blocked action without review
- Improved `/doctor` with consistent flat tree layout across all sections, clearer section status icons, and highlighted command names
- Improved the skill listing truncation warning to show how many skill descriptions are affected
- Improved Remote Control error messages: connection failures now show a persistent red "/rc failed" indicator in the footer, and the "not yet enabled" error now explains whether it's a gate, a check failure, stale entitlement, or org policy
Changed4
- Skills in nested `.claude/skills` directories now load when working on files there; on a name clash, the nested skill appears as `<dir>:<name>` so both stay available
- Nested `.claude/` directories: the agent, workflow, and output-style closest to the working directory now wins when names collide; project-scope workflow saves now target the closest existing `.claude/workflows/`
- Changed the workflow prompt keyword to use a purple shimmer highlight and trigger only on explicit phrases like "run a workflow" or "workflow:", not on any mention of the word
- `/bug` now requires a description before submitting, and no longer uses model-refusal text as the GitHub issue title
Fixed13
- Fixed a crash (out-of-memory) when the CLI inherits a stale websocket/OAuth file-descriptor environment variable from a parent process
- Fixed Claude in Chrome silently failing to connect when the OAuth token belongs to a different account than the Claude Code login
- Fixed nested `.claude/skills` skills with directory-qualified names being blocked by permission prompts in non-interactive runs
- Fixed several subagent issues: viewing a subagent's transcript now shows tool results and live progress, messages sent while it finishes its turn are no longer dropped, and backgrounding a running subagent (ctrl+b) no longer restarts it from scratch
- Fixed `claude agents` workers failing with `401 Invalid bearer token` when the daemon was started from a shell with a custom API gateway via `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`
- Fixed compaction not honoring `--fallback-model`: compaction now falls back to the configured fallback model chain on overload or model-availability errors
- Fixed model requests continuing to fail with auth errors after credentials were refreshed outside the session, due to a stale cached request configuration
- Fixed background sessions created with `/bg` or `←←` after a turn finished showing "Working" forever in the agents list
- Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE=1` preventing fresh marketplace installs from cloning
- Fixed MCP server-level specs (`mcp__server`, `mcp__server__*`, `mcp__*`) in subagent `disallowedTools` being silently ignored
- Fixed vim mode undo: `u` now steps through NORMAL/VISUAL-mode commands one at a time instead of merging commands in quick succession into a single undo step
- Fixed statusline links with custom URI schemes (e.g. `vscode://`) not opening when clicked in `claude agents`
