Added a visible warning when memory usage is critical, with steps to free memory or restart safely
AddedCLAUDE_CODE_MCP_STARTUP_WAIT_MS to bound how long the first non-interactive turn waits for connecting MCP servers (`0` = don't wait)
Addedeffort attribute to the `claude_code.llm_request` OpenTelemetry trace span, matching the `api_request` event
Addedclaude_code.managed_settings_resolved OTel event: managed-settings sources and policy helper state; redacted settings and digests with `OTEL_LOG_MANAGED_SETTINGS=1`
Addedstore.connect_timeout_seconds to the Claude apps gateway config to lengthen the Postgres connect timeout (default 5 seconds), and improved the boot error when the database is unreachable to point to `store.postgres_url` and the configured timeout
Addedenduser.sub, the IdP subject, to the telemetry Claude Desktop and Cowork send through a Claude apps gateway
Added a Claude apps gateway warning when a replica has more requests open than the 256 it sends upstream at once, and a startup log line showing that limit
Added click-to-expand for collapsed teammate and agent messages in fullscreen mode
VSCodeAdded continuation of the step a window reload interrupted, labeled in the chat, with a Claude Code: Continue After Reload setting to turn it off
VSCodeAdded Memory and Instructions entries to the Customize menu: Memory shows the auto-memory toggles, the saved memories and the memory folders, and Instructions edits the CLAUDE.md files
Claude Code on the webAdded a "Compare against" branch picker to a cloud session's diff view, so you can diff its changes against any branch instead of only the base branch
Claude TagAdded a Guests setting to the Add channel and Add workspace forms in Claude Tag admin settings, so owners can pick Inherit, Allow, Channel only or Restrict up front
~changed 10
ChangedBedrock, Vertex, Foundry and telemetry-disabled installs to use the v2 MCP client and MCP 2026-07-28 negotiation with direct HTTP servers by default, as other installs already do (opt out: `MCP_SDK_GENERATION=v1` or `MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION=legacy`)
Changed/code-review to use leaner inline review prompts for every model that has no tuned settings of its own, instead of spawning many review subagents
Changed"type": "sdk" MCP entries in `.mcp.json`, settings, plugins and agent files to be skipped with a warning: only an SDK host application can register in-process servers
Changed artifact watching in local sessions: a new version published elsewhere no longer starts a turn; Claude learns of it from a later Artifact tool result
Changed plugin and marketplace clones to leave Git LFS files as pointers instead of downloading them; `git lfs pull` in the checkout fetches them
Changed self-hosted runners to skip a read-only repository the git host refuses at the access check instead of failing the session start
Changed the /status GitHub line to read "Cloud sessions", and `/web-setup`, `/ultrareview`, and teleport messages to say "cloud session" instead of "Claude Code on the web"
VSCodeChanged the default global gitignore file to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore` when `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is an absolute path
Claude Code on the webChanged routines to skip a run and retry for up to 72 hours when the owner's GitHub connection is missing, instead of switching the routine off at the first failed check
Claude Code on the webChanged a routine's on-hold notice: when your subscription is paused it now tells you to turn the routine back on yourself instead of promising an automatic resume
−removed 1
Claude TagRemoved the repeated guest-attribution note Claude appended to a Slack canvas each time it edited one in a channel using the "Channel only" guest setting
↑improved 13
Improved startup in --input-format stream-json sessions: the first turn no longer waits up to 2s for still-connecting MCP servers whose tools tool search defers; they arrive on a later turn
ImprovedMonitor tool notifications: a script's final output and its exit now arrive as one notification instead of two, saving a model turn
ImprovedArtifact tool errors: when you are not signed in to claude.ai the terminal now says so on the first attempt, and Claude is told to stop retrying a rejected call sooner
Improvedartifact publishing: a publish built on an older version is stopped before it is sent, with the newer page to merge
Improved safety checks before removing an agent worktree that contains submodule checkouts
ImprovedOTEL_LOG_RAW_API_BODIES=file:<dir> output: a new `index.jsonl` and `request_body_id` / `message.id` event attributes link each response to its request file and transcript message
ImprovedClaude apps gateway boot: it now tries the first Postgres connection up to three times before exiting, so a database that is reachable a few seconds late no longer fails the boot
Improved the Claude apps gateway's spend-limit check under load: it now takes one database round trip instead of four, so fewer checks time out on a busy gateway
Improved Claude apps gateway sign-in rate limit errors: `/login` now explains the refusal, and the gateway log says which limit was hit and which setting to change
VSCodeImproved screen reader navigation of the conversation: each message is announced as "You" or "Claude", with the tool name for tool steps
Claude TagImproved Claude's live progress checklist in Slack: capped at 2,000 characters, reposted at most every 15 minutes in busy threads, with older "Latest task list" links updated
Code ReviewImproved how Code Review words each posted finding: short plain sentences that say who is affected, where the code goes wrong, and the fix up front
Code ReviewImproved the check-run card and PR comment when a review is skipped because of an organization limit: each cause now links the admin page that fixes it
✓fixed 71
Fixed sessions getting stuck endlessly retrying "unexpected tool_use_id" 400 errors: corrupted transcripts now self-heal where possible, and otherwise a clear error (with a `/rewind` hint) ends the loop
Fixed MCP servers configured as `http` that only speak legacy HTTP+SSE failing to connect when they answer the first request with 422 or another 4xx error
FixedStreamable HTTP MCP tool calls timing out after about 5 minutes even when a longer per-server `timeout` was set
Fixed MCP prompts and resources not refreshing when a server sends list-changed notifications without declaring `listChanged`
Fixed MCP tool calls refused with 403 insufficient_scope being reported as an expired sign-in: the error now names the missing permissions and points to `/mcp` re-authentication
Fixed hook-driven sessions (such as an active `/goal`) ending with "Prompt is too long" instead of compacting when the context overflowed again after a reactive compaction
Fixed an active /goal being lost when resuming (`--continue` / `--resume`) a session that had compacted
Fixedclaude agents losing `--model`, `--effort`, `--permission-mode`, `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` and `--agent` after an auto-update relaunch
Fixed a per-turn slowdown when a language server publishes project-wide diagnostics for thousands of files
Fixed subagents with model: "opus" on Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry leaving the session's model when its id has no recognizable model family (unless `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL` is set)
Fixed self-hosted runner sessions failing every turn with a 401 after a few failed token refreshes, until the next scheduled refresh; the runner now keeps retrying, and fetches a new token after a 401
Fixed clickable links to local file paths doing nothing in VS Code and other terminals that require a `file://` URI
Fixed the transcript renumbering ordered lists in your own messages (typing "3. 2. 1." displayed "3. 4. 5."); numbers and "N)" markers now show as typed
Fixed AskUserQuestion preview notes being attached to a previously chosen option instead of the highlighted one
Fixed AskUserQuestion preview mode dropping the highlighted option when submitting a note with Enter

Fixed error hints in Claude Desktop sessions to suggest slash commands like `/usage-credits` instead of CLI flags that cannot be used there
Fixed/schedule saving a routine's prompt without its message role when Claude writes the routine in the shape that listing routines returns
Fixed/status not showing the `apiKeyHelper` failure that its own error banner told you to check

Fixed extra empty editor windows opening at startup on Linux under Wayland when running inside the Cursor or VS Code terminal
Fixed an unhandled promise rejection in the Claude apps gateway when Postgres drops a connection during a spend check
Fixed Claude apps gateway cutting every open stream on SIGTERM: it now lets in-flight requests finish for up to 25 seconds before exiting (`CLAUDE_GATEWAY_DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS`)
Fixedinstalled_plugins.json being rewritten on nearly every start-up when plugin policy comes from remote managed settings, which made Claude Desktop reload every open session's plugins
Fixed headless and SDK sessions making a separate model call for every background task that finished; completions already queued are now answered by one call
Fixed the Bash tool re-sourcing the shell profile (a multi-second stall on the next command) after every plugin reload; it now does so only when the plugins' `bin/` directories changed
Fixed plugins with a top-level `$schema` in `hooks/hooks.json` showing an "unknown key" notice
Fixed MCP connection errors and the MCP login tool's description showing secrets resolved from `${VAR}` placeholders in MCP configs
Fixed Bash permission checks for commands that loop over or assign certain special shell variables; these commands now ask for permission
Fixed worktree-isolated sessions accepting Bash commands with certain nested shell expansions; these are now refused
Fixed the Edit permission prompt preview sometimes showing a different location than the approved edit in files with multi-byte characters
Fixed background commands being stopped after 30 idle minutes on machines under mild memory pressure; they're now stopped only when memory is critically low, and the debug log says why
Fixed a message a subagent sends to the main session disappearing from the Claude Desktop transcript after a relaunch
Fixed a plugin loaded from a .zip being served from a stale extraction after several overlapping reloads
Fixed a sub-agent's progress summary being replaced by a runaway multi-paragraph reply

VSCodeFixed overlapping settings writes from the extension leaving `~/.claude/settings.json` unparseable or dropping a setting
VSCodeFixedOpen in New Tab (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Esc) sometimes leaving the new tab's message box unfocused, so typing went nowhere until you clicked it
VSCodeFixed reopening a closed Claude tab splitting the editor layout when its locked group still holds another Claude tab and a file
VSCodeFixed New session opening another locked editor group whenever a file tab shared the group with your Claude tab
VSCodeFixed session names shifting sideways in the session picker while typing a search query

Claude Code on the webFixed git operations in cloud sessions failing with "service unavailable" when GitHub's token renewal briefly errors
Claude Code on the webFixed editing a routine occasionally making it fire twice or re-enabling a routine that had just been paused
Claude Code on the webFixed commits in cloud sessions occasionally failing with a signing error for a few minutes after the session's credentials refreshed
Claude Code on the webFixed the toast after saving a routine whose GitHub trigger couldn't be linked to show the reason, such as a per-repository trigger limit, instead of only "edit to retry"
Claude Code on the webFixed sessions sometimes flipping back to unread right after you mark them read
Claude TagFixed Claude not answering when another Slack app or bot @mentions it; the tag now gets a reply and wakes Claude in a channel it had stopped following after days of inactivity
Claude TagFixed Claude missing another app's message that tagged @Claude right after a new Slack channel was created; it's now delivered once Claude has joined
Claude TagFixed Claude folding a follow-up sent minutes after its last Slack message into it as a silent edit; late updates such as blockers now post as a new reply that notifies
Claude TagFixed Claude's Slack search failing with an error whenever it searched within a single channel; it now returns that channel's matching messages
Claude TagFixed a safety-filter stop silently resetting a Slack thread's context when nobody was waiting; Claude now always says so and no longer cancels background work still running
Claude TagFixed email addresses in Claude's Slack replies rendering with a visible `mailto:` prefix; they now show as the plain, clickable address
Claude TagFixed Claude refusing to watch an Enterprise Grid channel shared with the whole organization when asked from another workspace in the grid
Claude TagFixed the Environment picker in Claude Tag admin settings showing a raw environment ID instead of the environment's name for archived or app-created environments
Code ReviewFixed re-reviews occasionally leaving a fixed finding's thread open when the new review also filed a lower-severity note under it
Code ReviewFixed rare reviews ending with "Code review encountered an error" when GitHub or an internal service failed transiently at launch; they now wait and retry
