anthropics/claude-code v2.1.97

on GitHub

What's changed

• Added focus view toggle (Ctrl+O) in NO_FLICKER mode showing prompt, one-line tool summary with edit diffstats, and final response
• Added refreshInterval status line setting to re-run the status line command every N seconds
• Added workspace.git_worktree to the status line JSON input, set when the current directory is inside a linked git worktree
• Added ● N running indicator in /agents next to agent types with live subagent instances
• Added syntax highlighting for Cedar policy files (.cedar, .cedarpolicy)
• Fixed --dangerously-skip-permissions being silently downgraded to accept-edits mode after approving a write to a protected path
• Fixed and hardened Bash tool permissions, tightening checks around env-var prefixes and network redirects, and reducing false prompts on common commands
• Fixed permission rules with names matching JavaScript prototype properties (e.g. toString) causing settings.json to be silently ignored
• Fixed managed-settings allow rules remaining active after an admin removed them until process restart
• Fixed permissions.additionalDirectories changes in settings not applying mid-session
• Fixed removing a directory from settings.permissions.additionalDirectories revoking access to the same directory passed via --add-dir
• Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE connections accumulating ~50 MB/hr of unreleased buffers when servers reconnect
• Fixed MCP OAuth oauth.authServerMetadataUrl not being honored on token refresh after restart, fixing ADFS and similar IdPs
• Fixed 429 retries burning all attempts in ~13 seconds when the server returns a small Retry-After — exponential backoff now applies as a minimum
• Fixed rate-limit upgrade options disappearing after context compaction
• Fixed several /resume picker issues: --resume <name> opening uneditable, Ctrl+A reload wiping search, empty list swallowing navigation, task-status text replacing conversation summary, and cross-project staleness
• Fixed file-edit diffs disappearing on --resume when the edited file was larger than 10KB
• Fixed --resume cache misses and lost mid-turn input from attachment messages not being saved to the transcript
• Fixed messages typed while Claude is working not being persisted to the transcript
• Fixed prompt-type Stop/SubagentStop hooks failing on long sessions, and hook evaluator API errors displaying "JSON validation failed" instead of the actual message
• Fixed subagents with worktree isolation or cwd: override leaking their working directory back to the parent session's Bash tool
• Fixed compaction writing duplicate multi-MB subagent transcript files on prompt-too-long retries
• Fixed claude plugin update reporting "already at the latest version" for git-based marketplace plugins when the remote had newer commits
• Fixed slash command picker breaking when a plugin's frontmatter name is a YAML boolean keyword
• Fixed copying wrapped URLs in NO_FLICKER mode inserting spaces at line breaks
• Fixed scroll rendering artifacts in NO_FLICKER mode when running inside zellij
• Fixed a crash in NO_FLICKER mode when hovering over MCP tool results
• Fixed a NO_FLICKER mode memory leak where API retries left stale streaming state
• Fixed slow mouse-wheel scrolling in NO_FLICKER mode on Windows Terminal
• Fixed custom status line not displaying in NO_FLICKER mode on terminals shorter than 24 rows
• Fixed Shift+Enter and Alt/Cmd+arrow shortcuts not working in Warp with NO_FLICKER mode
• Fixed Korean/Japanese/Unicode text becoming garbled when copied in no-flicker mode on Windows
• Fixed Bedrock SigV4 authentication failing when AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK or ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_BASE_URL are set to empty strings (as GitHub Actions does for unset inputs)
• Improved Accept Edits mode to auto-approve filesystem commands prefixed with safe env vars or process wrappers (e.g. LANG=C rm foo, timeout 5 mkdir out)
• Improved auto mode and bypass-permissions mode to auto-approve sandbox network access prompts
• Improved sandbox: sandbox.network.allowMachLookup now takes effect on macOS
• Improved image handling: pasted and attached images are now compressed to the same token budget as images read via the Read tool
• Improved slash command and @-mention completion to trigger after CJK sentence punctuation, so Japanese/Chinese input no longer requires a space before / or @
• Improved Bridge sessions to show the local git repo, branch, and working directory on the claude.ai session card
• Improved footer layout: indicators (Focus, notifications) now stay on the mode-indicator row instead of wrapping below
• Improved context-low warning to show as a transient footer notification instead of a persistent row
• Improved markdown blockquotes to show a continuous left bar across wrapped lines
• Improved session transcript size by skipping empty hook entries and capping stored pre-edit file copies
• Improved transcript accuracy: per-block entries now carry the final token usage instead of the streaming placeholder
• Improved Bash tool OTEL tracing: subprocesses now inherit a W3C TRACEPARENT env var when tracing is enabled
• Updated /claude-api skill to cover Managed Agents alongside the Claude API
