Claude Code 2.1.3

January 9, 2026

Added

Added release channel (`stable` or `latest`) toggle to `/config`
Added detection and warnings for unreachable permission rules, with warnings in `/doctor` and after saving rules that include the source of each rule and actionable fix guidance
Added clickable destination selector for permission requests, allowing you to choose where settings are saved (this project, all projects, shared with team, or session only)

Improved terminal rendering stability by preventing uncontrolled writes from corrupting cursor state
Improved slash command suggestion readability by truncating long descriptions to 2 lines

Merged slash commands and skills, simplifying the mental model with no change in behavior
Changed tool hook execution timeout from 60 seconds to 10 minutes

Fixed plan files persisting across `/clear` commands, now ensuring a fresh plan file is used after clearing a conversation
Fixed false skill duplicate detection on filesystems with large inodes (e.g., ExFAT) by using 64-bit precision for inode values
Fixed mismatch between background task count in status bar and items shown in tasks dialog
Fixed sub-agents using the wrong model during conversation compaction
Fixed web search in sub-agents using incorrect model
Fixed trust dialog acceptance when running from the home directory not enabling trust-requiring features like hooks during the session
