github anthropics/claude-code v2.1.120

7 hours ago

What's changed

  • Windows: Git for Windows (Git Bash) is no longer required — when absent, Claude Code uses PowerShell as the shell tool
  • Added claude ultrareview [target] subcommand to run /ultrareview non-interactively from CI or scripts — prints findings to stdout (--json for raw output) and exits 0 on completion or 1 on failure
  • Skills can now reference the current effort level with ${CLAUDE_EFFORT} in their content
  • Set AI_AGENT environment variable for subprocesses so gh can attribute traffic to Claude Code
  • Spinner tips that recommend installing the desktop app or creating skills/agents are now hidden when you already have them
  • Show a "use PgUp/PgDn to scroll" hint when the terminal sends arrow keys instead of scroll events
  • Faster session start when you have many claude.ai connectors configured but not authorized
  • The auto mode denial message now links to the configuration docs
  • claude plugin validate now accepts $schema, version, and description at the top level of marketplace.json and $schema in plugin.json
  • Auto-compact in auto mode now displays auto (lowercase, no token count) instead of a misleading token value
  • Fixed pressing Esc during a stdio MCP tool call closing the entire server connection (regression in 2.1.105)
  • Fixed /rewind and other interactive overlays not responding to keyboard input after launching with claude --resume
  • Fixed terminal scrollback duplication in non-fullscreen mode (resize, dialog dismiss, long sessions)
  • Fixed DISABLE_TELEMETRY / CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC not suppressing usage metrics telemetry for API and enterprise users
  • Fixed false-positive "Dangerous rm operation" permission prompts in auto mode for multi-line bash commands containing both a pipe and a redirect
  • Fixed long selection menus clipping below the terminal in fullscreen mode — the focused option now stays on screen as you scroll
  • Fixed Write tool output collapsing instead of expanding when clicking "+N lines" in fullscreen
  • Fixed slash command picker jumping while typing, and improved highlight to only match contiguous substrings in blue
  • Fixed /plugin marketplace failing to load when one entry uses an unrecognized source format — that entry is shown but installing it prompts you to update
  • [VSCode] /usage now opens the native Account & Usage dialog instead of returning plain-text session cost
  • [VSCode] Voice dictation now respects the language setting in ~/.claude/settings.json
  • Fixed find in the Bash tool exhausting open file descriptors on large directory trees, causing host-wide crashes (macOS/Linux native builds)
