Added the EndConversation tool: Claude can end sessions with highly abusive users or jailbreak attempts, as on claude.ai since 2025 — see https://www.anthropic.com/research/end-subset-conversations
Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent
Added an ISO modified timestamp to memory file frontmatter
Addedmessage.uuid, `client_request_id`, and `tool_source` attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance
AddedCLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes
Added reasoning effort to the `subagentStatusLine` payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort
Added permission prompts for docker commands (including the Podman `docker` shim) carrying daemon-redirect flags (`--url`, `--connection`, `--identity`, and Podman's remote mode) that previously ran without one
~changed 4
Changed single-segment dir/** hook `if:` conditions to match only `<cwd>/dir`; write `**/dir/**` for any-depth matching. `deny`/`ask` permission rules keep their any-depth match.
Changedfile commands using `-m`/`--magic-file` or `-f`/`--files-from` to require permission instead of being auto-allowed as read-only
Changed keep-alive connection pooling to disable after a stale-connection error, so retries open a fresh socket
Changed SessionStart hooks to report source `"fork"` when a session begins as a fork instead of `"resume"`
↑improved 1
Improved the claude rc workspace-trust error in the home directory to say trust there is never saved and to suggest running from a project directory
✓fixed 35
Fixed single-segment dir/** allow rules like `Edit(src/**)` auto-approving writes to nested `dir/` directories anywhere in the tree instead of only `<cwd>/dir`
Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions
Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer
Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically
Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in `[[ ]]` comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval
Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain `help` and `man` commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths
Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog
Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags
Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a `pkill -f` pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)
Fixed unbounded memory growth when `--settings` points at a device file or multi-GB file; oversized (>2 MiB) settings files now fail at startup with a clear error
Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows
Fixed stream-json output truncation at exit for slow-reading SDK/pipeline consumers; the exit drain now scales with queued bytes instead of a flat 2s cap
Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task
Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)
Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)
Fixed Python scripts run via the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeEncodeError on non-ASCII output, and PowerShell 7 error messages containing raw ANSI escape sequences (Windows)
Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting `where.exe`, `fc.exe`, and `diff.exe` as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)
Fixed> and `>>` under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8
Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon
Fixed background sessions parked with `←` or `/background` and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely
Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via `claude rm` or the agent view once the background service had gone idle
Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view
Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store
Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled
Fixed/install-github-app and the `/mcp` settings menu being blocked in agent-view sessions — they're now refused only in background sessions with no terminal attached
Fixed plugins enabled via the `--settings` CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)
Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates
Fixed/ultrareview refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files
Fixedclaude update and `claude doctor` hanging silently, and the `/status` System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory
Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline `#` when memory files are saved
Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative `message_delta` frames
Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking
Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation
Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context
Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources
