Claude Code 2.1.232

This release brings significant enhancements for agent interaction, notably direct session messaging using @mentions and subagent forking enabled by default for improved workflows. Users benefit from new configuration options for dialog management and expanded GitLab support, including token redaction and plugin marketplace integration. Key improvements encompass enhanced Remote Control stability and reattachment, fullscreen streaming responsiveness, and clearer managed settings approvals. Additionally, numerous security vulnerabilities have been addressed, covering PowerShell, Windows Git Bash, and git repository trust, alongside fixes for various issues affecting login, voice mode, and plugin marketplace registration.

Added

  • Added `/config` rows for "Dialog expiry" and "Messages from your other sessions" (cross-session inbound accept/hold/refuse)
  • Added secret redaction for GitLab token families (`glrt-`, `gloas-`, `glptt-`, `glagent-`, `glimt-`, `glsoat-`, `glcbt-`, `glft-`, `glffct-`) and full redaction of routable `glpat-`/`gldt-` tokens; the `glab` CLI config store gets the same sandbox and credential-path protection as `gh`
  • Added GitLab support to plugin marketplaces: bare `gitlab.com` repo URLs (including nested subgroups) now clone like `github.com` URLs, and clone auth-failure hints name your actual git host

Improved

  • Improved fullscreen streaming: long sessions stay responsive because the whole conversation is no longer re-normalized on every update
  • Improved the managed settings approval dialog: shows endpoint URLs, uses clearer wording for telemetry-only changes, skips routine OpenTelemetry options, and requires approval for server-managed sandbox binary overrides (`sandbox.bwrapPath`, `sandbox.socatPath`, `sandbox.ripgrep`)

Changed

  • Subagent forking is now on by default: a `subagent_type: "fork"` subagent inherits the full conversation and prompt cache, and non-teammate agent spawns in interactive sessions now run in the background by default
  • Type `@` in the prompt to mention another Claude session by name; Claude then uses `SendMessage` to reach that session directly
  • `SendMessage` now delivers to a bare name that exactly matches one live session, instead of asking to confirm with a ref first
  • Interactive sessions on one machine now keep unique names: starting or renaming a session to a name another live session already uses gives it a `name-word-word` variant and tells you
  • Settings: `additionalMarketplaces` and `allowedMarketplaces` are now accepted as friendlier aliases for `extraKnownMarketplaces` and `strictKnownMarketplaces`
  • Enterprise policy: a url-typed `blockedMarketplaces` entry for a bare repo URL keeps blocking that URL when the CLI classifies it as a git clone
  • Gateway: the `desktop:` overlay now accepts every released Desktop setting (was 11 hand-listed keys), validated at boot against Desktop's own schema; unknown or invalid keys fail boot
  • Gateway: empty `managed.policies[].match.groups`/`admin.admin_groups` entries and malformed `email_domain` values (empty, or containing `@`, whitespace, or commas) now fail at boot instead of silently matching no one or granting admin access
  • Fable 5 is offered as an advisor in `/advisor` again for organizations with Fable access, with usage-credits consent set up through `/model fable`
  • Remote Control: resuming a conversation whose session was deleted from claude.ai or the app now starts a replacement instead of failing with a message about your login (regressed in v2.1.227)
  • `/feedback` and `/bug` now open immediately when invoked while Claude is responding, instead of waiting for the turn to finish
  • `/plugin install plugin@marketplace` now refreshes the marketplace first, so newly published plugins install without a manual marketplace update
  • `/code-review` at high, xhigh, and max effort now runs in a background agent like the other levels
  • Pasted and clipboard images are read without blocking the event loop
  • Remote Control now keeps reconnecting for about 30 minutes after a network blip and no longer drops after a few blips spread across an hour
  • Remote Control: resuming a conversation no longer silently takes Remote Control away from another Claude Code on the same machine that still has it; run `/remote-control` there to move it
  • Updated agent panel: completed subagents hide immediately with a `/tasks` footer hint, and the "↓ N more" overflow indicator moved left for visibility
  • Remote Control: the terminal now says whether a session was taken over by another device, ended from another app, or deleted, and stops suggesting a reconnect that would undo it
  • Bash input redirections (`< file`) are now permission-checked like their argument spellings on all platforms
  • Shortened the message shown when resuming a completed background agent
  • Cowork sessions no longer inline external @-imports from user-scope memory files
  • Hardened the auto-generated cross-session messaging socket directory on shared `/tmp`: a pre-planted symlink or another user's directory is now refused instead of used
  • Hardened the Linux filesystem sandbox against a protected-path bypass
  • Changed `sandbox.ripgrep` to be honored only from user, managed, and `--settings` settings; project settings can no longer override the sandbox's ripgrep binary

Fixed

  • Fixed a PowerShell permission bypass where variable-writing parameters could silently overwrite `$PSDefaultParameterValues` and redirect later commands' file access
  • Fixed a Windows permission bypass where Git Bash followed Cygwin-style symlinks that path validation saw as regular files; writes through them now require permission approval
  • Fixed nested git repositories inheriting trust from a parent directory; each repository now requires its own trust confirmation
  • Fixed MCP connections hanging for the full 30-second connect timeout when a server fails to answer or sends a malformed reply to the protocol-version probe
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by a bridge inside a cloud session inheriting that session's transcript or credentials
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions started from Claude Desktop or an IDE appearing as a new claude.ai session each time the local session was resumed; they now reattach to the existing one
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions appearing unreachable to newly attached clients while idle
  • Fixed Remote Control bridge sessions not restoring conversation history when the session worker restarts
  • Fixed Cloud gateway `/login` exiting silently or leaving an unresponsive terminal after "Press Enter to continue" when managed settings failed to load; the reason is now shown
  • Fixed voice mode on native builds getting stuck on "listening…" when the voice service rejected the connection; the rejection is now shown immediately
  • Fixed mTLS client certificate rotation requiring a restart; Claude Code now reloads the rotated cert and key automatically on connection errors
  • Fixed malformed AWS or Vertex region values being used to build request URLs; they now fall back to the default region
  • Fixed stream idle timeout errors failing the request instead of recovering on Bedrock, Vertex, and gateway deployments
  • Fixed content-sized overlays containing truncated text rendering one column too wide, and start-truncated text collapsing to an ellipsis
  • Fixed a stray garbled character where a long shell-command or agent-description preview was cut off mid-emoji
  • Fixed a startup race that could silently unregister a plugin marketplace due to concurrent writes to `known_marketplaces.json`
  • Fixed `/update` and `/tui` refusing to restart while work that survives the relaunch was running
  • Fixed usage-limit guidance suggesting unavailable slash commands in SDK and remote sessions
  • Fixed the consent message for interactive `--advisor fable` launches, which told you to run `/model fable` in an interactive session that had just exited

Removed

  • Removed the startup tip suggesting you create custom subagents, and the matching nudge in the `/powerup` tour
