anthropics/claude-code v2.1.81

on GitHub

What's changed

• Added --bare flag for scripted -p calls — skips hooks, LSP, plugin sync, and skill directory walks; requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or an apiKeyHelper via --settings (OAuth and keychain auth disabled); auto-memory fully disabled
• Added --channels permission relay — channel servers that declare the permission capability can forward tool approval prompts to your phone
• Fixed multiple concurrent Claude Code sessions requiring repeated re-authentication when one session refreshes its OAuth token
• Fixed voice mode silently swallowing retry failures and showing a misleading "check your network" message instead of the actual error
• Fixed voice mode audio not recovering when the server silently drops the WebSocket connection
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS not suppressing the structured-outputs beta header, causing 400 errors on proxy gateways forwarding to Vertex/Bedrock
• Fixed --channels bypass for Team/Enterprise orgs with no other managed settings configured
• Fixed a crash on Node.js 18
• Fixed unnecessary permission prompts for Bash commands containing dashes in strings
• Fixed plugin hooks blocking prompt submission when the plugin directory is deleted mid-session
• Fixed a race condition where background agent task output could hang indefinitely when the task completed between polling intervals
• Resuming a session that was in a worktree now switches back to that worktree
• Fixed /btw not including pasted text when used during an active response
• Fixed a race where fast Cmd+Tab followed by paste could beat the clipboard copy under tmux
• Fixed terminal tab title not updating with an auto-generated session description
• Fixed invisible hook attachments inflating the message count in transcript mode
• Fixed Remote Control sessions showing a generic title instead of deriving from the first prompt
• Fixed /rename not syncing the title for Remote Control sessions
• Fixed Remote Control /exit not reliably archiving the session
• Improved MCP read/search tool calls to collapse into a single "Queried {server}" line (expand with Ctrl+O)
• Improved ! bash mode discoverability — Claude now suggests it when you need to run an interactive command
• Improved plugin freshness — ref-tracked plugins now re-clone on every load to pick up upstream changes
• Improved Remote Control session titles to refresh after your third message
• Updated MCP OAuth to support Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD / SEP-991) for servers without Dynamic Client Registration
• Changed plan mode to hide the "clear context" option by default (restore with "showClearContextOnPlanAccept": true)
• Disabled line-by-line response streaming on Windows (including WSL in Windows Terminal) due to rendering issues
• [VSCode] Fixed Windows PATH inheritance for Bash tool when using Git Bash (regression in v2.1.78)
