Release notes

Claude Code 2.1.90

· 3 new· 10 fixed

Added3

  • Added `/powerup` — interactive lessons teaching Claude Code features with animated demos
  • Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_KEEP_MARKETPLACE_ON_FAILURE` env var to keep the existing marketplace cache when `git pull` fails, useful in offline environments
  • Added `.husky` to protected directories (acceptEdits mode)

Improved4

  • Improved performance: eliminated per-turn JSON.stringify of MCP tool schemas on cache-key lookup
  • Improved performance: SSE transport now handles large streamed frames in linear time (was quadratic)
  • Improved performance: SDK sessions with long conversations no longer slow down quadratically on transcript writes
  • Improved `/resume` all-projects view to load project sessions in parallel, improving load times for users with many projects

Changed1

  • Changed `--resume` picker to no longer show sessions created by `claude -p` or SDK invocations

Fixed10

  • Fixed an infinite loop where the rate-limit options dialog would repeatedly auto-open after hitting your usage limit, eventually crashing the session
  • Fixed `--resume` causing a full prompt-cache miss on the first request for users with deferred tools, MCP servers, or custom agents (regression since v2.1.69)
  • Fixed `Edit`/`Write` failing with "File content has changed" when a PostToolUse format-on-save hook rewrites the file between consecutive edits
  • Fixed `PreToolUse` hooks that emit JSON to stdout and exit with code 2 not correctly blocking the tool call
  • Fixed collapsed search/read summary badge appearing multiple times in fullscreen scrollback when a CLAUDE.md file auto-loads during a tool call
  • Fixed auto mode not respecting explicit user boundaries ("don't push", "wait for X before Y") even when the action would otherwise be allowed
  • Fixed click-to-expand hover text being nearly invisible on light terminal themes
  • Fixed UI crash when malformed tool input reached the permission dialog
  • Fixed headers disappearing when scrolling `/model`, `/config`, and other selection screens
  • Hardened PowerShell tool permission checks: fixed trailing `&` background job bypass, `-ErrorAction Break` debugger hang, archive-extraction TOCTOU, and parse-fail fallback deny-rule degradation

Removed1

  • Removed `Get-DnsClientCache` and `ipconfig /displaydns` from auto-allow (DNS cache privacy)
