Claude Code 2.1.2 — Release Notes & Changelog

Added source path metadata to images dragged onto the terminal, helping Claude understand where images originated
Added clickable hyperlinks for file paths in tool output in terminals that support OSC 8 (like iTerm)
Added support for Windows Package Manager (winget) installations with automatic detection and update instructions
Added Shift+Tab keyboard shortcut in plan mode to quickly select "auto-accept edits" option
Added `FORCE_AUTOUPDATE_PLUGINS` environment variable to allow plugin autoupdate even when the main auto-updater is disabled
Added `agent_type` to SessionStart hook input, populated if `--agent` is specified

Improved Option-as-Meta hint on macOS to show terminal-specific instructions for native CSIu terminals like iTerm2, Kitty, and WezTerm
Improved error message when pasting images over SSH to suggest using `scp` instead of the unhelpful clipboard shortcut hint
Improved permission explainer to not flag routine dev workflows (git fetch/rebase, npm install, tests, PRs) as medium risk
