Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting
Added warnings when transcript writes are failing (e.g. disk full) or when session saving is off due to an inherited environment variable, instead of losing transcripts silently
Added a cap on concurrently-running subagents (default 20, override with `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBAGENTS`) so one message can't fan out unbounded background agents
~changed 3
Changed the login-expiry warning to appear 3 days before expiry instead of 5
Capped the frontend-design plugin suggestion tip at 3 lifetime impressions instead of repeating indefinitely
Changed subagents to no longer spawn nested subagents by default; set `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENT_SPAWN_DEPTH` to allow deeper nesting
↑improved 1
Improved footer PR badge links to be clickable hyperlinks even when terminal support can't be detected (e.g. over ssh/tmux); set `FORCE_HYPERLINK=0` to opt out
✓fixed 13
Fixed a memory leak where truncated MCP tool outputs kept the full untruncated result in memory for the rest of the session
Fixed Windows auto-update failures that could leave `claude.exe` missing; failed updates now restore the preserved executable automatically
Fixed background session isolation not canonicalizing symlinked working directories, which could let sessions escape their workspace folder
Fixed auto-compact never triggering for Claude Opus 4.8 on Bedrock and `/compact` failing once over the limit
Fixed corporate mTLS, TLS-verify, OAuth scope, and proxy settings being ignored in Claude Desktop sessions
Fixed screen reader mode's startup announcement being cut off by the first prompt render, and the thinking status row re-rendering every few seconds to update elapsed time and token counts
Fixed managed settings that set `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` not governing all signals — lower-scope signal-specific overrides no longer redirect telemetry away from the managed endpoint
Fixed--resume/`--continue` and `/resume` failing with a TypeError when a transcript has a malformed attachment entry
FixedRemote Control sessions not showing a pending permission prompt or dialog to viewers that connected after it appeared
Fixed background shells sometimes becoming impossible to stop after a session is sent to the background (`/background` or `←`) or when the session exits on a heavily loaded machine, most visible on Windows
Fixed a CLAUDE.md or `SKILL.md` paths frontmatter value with many brace groups OOM-killing or stalling the CLI at startup — brace expansion is now budget-bounded
Fixed the transcript preview sitting flush against the input area when attaching to a starting background session; it now leaves the same one-line gap as the live layout, so the transcript no longer shifts when the session takes over
Fixed--max-budget-usd not stopping background subagents: once the cap is reached, new spawns are denied and running background agents are halted
