← Claude Code changelog

Claude Code 2.1.282

New features include a `maxProseWidth` setting for adjustable prose in wide terminals, enhanced telemetry visibility, and better cloud app gateway resilience during database outages. Critical reliability fixes address conversation errors from undecryptable web search history, prevent re-sending changed messages, and preserve extended thinking across turns. Significant improvements cover login stability, managed setting application, and tool validation. Users also benefit from faster session resumption, improved UI for artifacts and permissions, and numerous fixes across VS Code, cloud sessions, and the Slack app, enhancing overall stability and control.

Added

  • Added a `maxProseWidth` setting that caps the width of Claude's prose in wide terminals while tables and code blocks keep the full width
  • Added a startup notice, and `/status` and `claude doctor` entries, listing telemetry variables in a project's settings files that were ignored or that turned telemetry off
  • Added the `allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp` managed setting to let `claude --chrome` run alongside an exclusive `managed-mcp.json`; the error shown when Chrome is blocked now names it
  • Added `store.readiness_grace_seconds` to the Claude apps gateway so `/readyz` can stay ready through a short Postgres outage such as a database failover
  • Added a scrollbar to the `/feedback` drafts list in fullscreen mode; it appears while the mouse is over the list

Improved

  • Improved the time to resume very large sessions, including ones that were never compacted
  • Improved the error shown on Windows when a session can't be resumed because its transcript file could not be read (EBADF): it now names possible causes and what to try
  • Improved the Claude Desktop unknown-model error to suggest switching to a different model
  • Improved rendering of unusual Unicode in permission prompts
  • Improved `/artifacts`: titles line up in one column, details are dropped whole instead of cut mid-word, and the list supports PgUp/PgDn, Home/End, the mouse wheel and clicks

Changed

  • Updated the `claude-api` skill: pre-output refusal billing now links to the How refusals are billed docs, mid-stream refusals bill at normal rates, and pre-output refusals count against rate limits
  • Updated the `claude-api` skill to recommend `ant apply` for keeping Managed Agents resources as version-controlled files
  • Changed auto mode to use the server-side classifier by default on a direct Anthropic API connection when telemetry is off (`CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER=0` opts out)
  • Changed `sandbox.excludedCommands` to ignore project and local settings entries when managed settings or `--settings` set `allowUnsandboxedCommands: false`, or managed `allowManagedDomainsOnly: true`
  • Changed project and local settings to ignore OpenTelemetry variables that turn on export, set its endpoint, or capture content, like `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` and `OTEL_LOG_*`
  • Changed Windows/WSL managed settings so an admin policy that is present but invalid or unreadable (HKLM, `managed-settings.json`) keeps user-writable HKCU and WSL `/etc/claude-code` from applying
  • Changed `Skill(anthropic-skills:*)` and `Skill(claude-ai:*)` allow rules to cover only skills synced from claude.ai, not plugins or other skills that merely use such a name
  • Changed skill folders, command files and workflow commands in the `anthropic-skills` or `claude-ai` namespace to no longer load; a plugin so named still loads but yields name ties to synced skills
  • Changed MCP servers configured under the name `anthropic-skills` or `claude-ai` to list no skills or prompts (their tools still work); rename the server in your MCP configuration to list them again
  • Changed the `ultracode` visuals in `/effort` and the prompt input to plain styling (no ripple, border flourish or keyword glimmer) and removed the dynamic-workflows spinner tip
  • Changed the Clawd mascot's feet in the start-up banner to sit under the corners of his body
  • [Cloud sessions] Added Claude GitHub App status to Settings › Connectors › GitHub: whether the app is installed and reachable for your account, plus steps to connect, install or reconnect
  • [Cloud sessions] Added "Open repository" and "Open compare page" links to the repository menu of a cloud session whose repository is hosted on a Git server other than GitHub
  • [Cloud sessions] Added attaching a repository from a different GitHub owner, such as a fork's upstream, to a running cloud session that already has one, including sessions started from Slack
  • [Cloud sessions] Improved how quickly the Routines page and the sidebar's Scheduled list load for accounts whose past sessions scheduled many check-in reminders
  • [Claude Tag] Changed the bordered cards Claude uses in Slack replies for plans, tables and details to render wide by default instead of a narrow width
  • [Claude Tag] Changed newly connected Slack workspaces to follow the current default model instead of keeping whichever model was the default when they were connected

Fixed

  • Fixed every request failing with a 400 error in conversations whose history holds web search results the API cannot decrypt (for example, from a turn answered through a third-party gateway)
  • Fixed more cases of continued or resumed sessions (`--continue`, `--resume`) re-sending earlier messages in a changed form, which could make the API drop Claude's earlier reasoning
  • Fixed earlier extended thinking being dropped when `/model`, `/rename`, `/artifacts` or another immediate slash command was used while Claude was working
  • Fixed continued or resumed conversations losing earlier extended thinking when relaunched with a `--tools` list that leaves out a built-in tool offered earlier in the conversation
  • Fixed sessions failing on every turn with an "Invalid `data` in `redacted_thinking` block" API error; Claude Code now drops the conversation's thinking blocks and retries once
  • Fixed compaction failing when the summarization request is refused; it now retries on a fallback model
  • Fixed a failed turn ("Effort 'xhigh' isn't available with thinking turned off") after a safety-related model switch in sessions with thinking off and effort above high
  • Fixed an unanswered Fable usage-credits prompt switching models in SDK-hosted sessions such as Claude Desktop; the turn now ends instead, and Remote Control clients now see the model-switch notice
  • Fixed `/model` with a full Fable model id stopping at an API error instead of opening the usage-credits prompt when the plan needs usage credits that aren't turned on yet
  • Fixed requests failing for up to a minute with an "another Claude Code process is refreshing it" login error after that other process was closed or killed mid-refresh
  • Fixed sessions started while another Claude Code window was refreshing the sign-in (common with several VS Code windows) not retrying their organization policy fetch
  • Fixed CLAUDE.md and rules being read at startup through a repository symlink reaching macOS's `/Network` via `..` or a `/.vol`-style kernel path, or a rules link to macOS's `/home` being listed
  • Fixed Bash permission rules with a mid-pattern `:*` being skipped in settings files while `--allowedTools` honored them; they now work from every source, with a startup warning on how they match
  • Fixed a command approved on a restored permission prompt running twice when a remote session's worker restarted
  • Fixed managed settings ignoring a mistyped value for boolean lock keys such as `disableClaudeAiConnectors` or `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`; the lock now applies and startup names the key
  • Fixed managed `permissions`, `autoMode`, `worktree` and `attribution` settings being ignored entirely when one nested value was invalid; the rest of the block now still applies
  • Fixed repository, user and `--add-dir` skills, commands and skills-directory plugin manifests pre-approving their own tools via `allowed-tools` under managed `allowManagedPermissionRulesOnly`
  • Fixed safeguard block messages on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle not showing a request ID; block messages now also show the message ID
  • Vertex AI: Fixed web search not being offered for models Claude Code doesn't recognize yet, such as newly released ones
  • Fixed Bash and PowerShell hiding a full disk quota behind "Exit code 1" and leaving large output files in temp
  • Fixed tool input validation errors naming only an unknown, missing or mistyped parameter when other parameters in the same call were also invalid; those are now listed too
  • Fixed pasted multi-line text being submitted line by line after the terminal's bracketed paste mode was reset mid-session
  • Fixed the prompt's example text flashing and disappearing at startup in projects with a `SessionStart` hook
  • Fixed a blank screen flashing before the first frame when starting in fullscreen mode
  • Fixed garbled, misplaced rows in the non-fullscreen renderer after the screen got shorter while still taller than the terminal, e.g. deleting a prompt line while a shell command streams output
  • Fixed a stale character left in the last column of a diff when a redrawn line's CJK character or emoji wrapped to the next row
  • Fixed the cursor landing before the end of a prompt recalled from history when the prompt contains a tab
  • Fixed the send-now hint showing ctrl+enter on terminals that send it as a newline (Windows Terminal before 1.25); it now shows ctrl+x ctrl+s there
  • Fixed `claude remote-control --debug` failing with "Unknown argument: --debug", although Remote Control's own eligibility error says to run with `--debug`
  • Fixed `/install-github-app` saying "cancelled" and then still pushing the branch and saving the API key secret; leaving now stops the remaining steps and reports what was already done
  • Fixed /feedback, /bug and /share on Bedrock, Vertex and other third-party providers still saving the report file after you cancelled during the save
  • Fixed plugin uninstall reporting success and deleting the plugin's saved options when its settings file still enabled it or could not be read; it now stops and names the file
  • Fixed plugin uninstall deleting a plugin's saved options and secrets when the list of installed plugins could not be read after the removal; they are now kept and the uninstall says so
  • Fixed a key typed right after `/` in `/skills` moving the skill list instead of reaching the search box
  • Fixed the terminal cursor jumping from the `/skills` search box to the skill list while typing, which could hide the caret and put IME input in the wrong place
  • Fixed lists with a scrollbar, such as `/skills` and `/mcp`, being two columns narrower outside fullscreen mode, where the scrollbar can never appear
  • Fixed the agent panel footer wrapping onto two lines with long rebound keys, and its "Esc to collapse" hint ignoring a rebound collapse key
  • Fixed a doubled ` · ` separator in the `/tasks` dialog footer when the stop-all-agents shortcut is unbound in `keybindings.json`
  • Fixed artifact publishes failing when Claude gave the version a label longer than 60 characters; the label is now shortened
  • Fixed screen-reader mode, quoted lists and very long lists dropping the blank lines at the top of a code block that opens a list item, directly or inside a quote
  • Fixed PDF page-read error messages: paths with accented or non-Latin characters now appear readably, and a folder named like "password" or "invalid" can no longer make the error name the wrong cause
  • Fixed vim mode `>>` indenting empty lines, `r` with a count longer than the line changing text, `2J` joining one line too many, and a count on the last line (`2dd`, `2>>`) shifting or deleting it
  • Fixed vim mode cursor placement: after `dd`, `dj`, `dG` or a whole-line `p`/`P` it lands on the first non-blank, `yy` no longer moves it, and Esc after an emoji no longer leaves it inside the emoji
  • Fixed vim mode ignoring a count typed before `.` when repeating `x`, `s`, `p`, `d` or `c`, and whole-line `p`/`P`, `o`, `O`, `J`, `>>` and `<<` acting on the wrong line when a line above wraps
  • Fixed vim mode leaving the cursor past the end of a prompt recalled from history or pulled back from the queue in normal mode, so `x` did nothing
  • Fixed long replies falling behind the stream: the panel no longer re-parses the whole reply on every update
  • Fixed the dictation mic button covering the message input's scrollbar when the input is tall enough to scroll
  • Fixed Remote Control sessions started on this computer not opening from their Web entry in the session list; they now open the local conversation unless it's running elsewhere
  • Fixed an editor tab's sign-in screen hanging silently after the extension host restarts; it now shows the "stopped responding" notice too
  • [Cloud sessions] Fixed the next run time shown for an hourly routine being 30 minutes off for people in half-hour-offset time zones such as India
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed auto-join channel patterns saved for one workspace in Claude Tag admin settings being ignored on an Enterprise Grid org-wide install; Claude now joins matching new channels
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude not responding in an Enterprise Grid channel shared between two workspaces of one organization when the channel's Claude Tag version was saved from the other workspace
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed the earlier Claude in Slack app's progress card for sessions on a GitHub Enterprise Server repository: it now names the repository and offers a working Create PR button
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed Slack threads whose model has been retired falling back to another model on every reply, slower and with a fallback note each time; the thread now moves to a working model
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed files Claude uploads to Slack not being able to carry a caption containing a table; captions now render with the same formatting as replies
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude's threads in Slack's Agents & tools view sometimes being listed under their first message instead of their name; later renames now update the list too
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed removing a GitHub organization's grant from an access bundle's Repositories tab in Claude Tag admin settings failing to save after that GitHub organization was disconnected
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude always replying "Couldn't check this channel just now" in a channel shared with a Grid workspace it isn't added to; the notice now says which workspace needs the app
  • [Claude Tag] Fixed the cost and token totals in Claude's reply footer reading many times too high after the session's cloud worker restarted
