Addedmanaged-settings.d/ drop-in directory alongside `managed-settings.json`, letting separate teams deploy independent policy fragments that merge alphabetically
AddedCwdChanged and `FileChanged` hook events for reactive environment management (e.g., direnv)
Addedsandbox.failIfUnavailable setting to exit with an error when sandbox is enabled but cannot start, instead of running unsandboxed
AddedCLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB=1 to strip Anthropic and cloud provider credentials from subprocess environments (Bash tool, hooks, MCP stdio servers)
Added transcript search — press `/` in transcript mode (`Ctrl+O`) to search, `n`/`N` to step through matches
AddedCtrl+X Ctrl+E as an alias for opening the external editor (readline-native binding; `Ctrl+G` still works)
AddedCLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONSTREAMING_FALLBACK env var to disable the non-streaming fallback when streaming fails
VSCodeAddedEsc-twice (or `/rewind`) to open a keyboard-navigable rewind picker
~changed 17
Pasted images now insert an `[Image #N]` chip at the cursor so you can reference them positionally in your prompt
Agents can now declare initialPrompt in frontmatter to auto-submit a first turn
chat:killAgents and `chat:fastMode` are now rebindable via `~/.claude/keybindings.json`
Bash ghost-text suggestions now include just-submitted commands immediately
Increased non-streaming fallback token cap (21k → 64k) and timeout (120s → 300s local) so fallback requests are less likely to be truncated
Interrupting a prompt before any response now automatically restores your input so you can edit and resubmit
/status now works while Claude is responding, instead of being queued until the turn finishes
Plugin MCP servers that duplicate an org-managed connector are now suppressed instead of running a second connection
LinuxRespect XDG_DATA_HOME when registering the `claude-cli://` protocol handler
Changed"stop all background agents" keybinding from `Ctrl+F` to `Ctrl+X Ctrl+K` to stop shadowing readline forward-char
Plugin options (manifest.userConfig) now available externally — plugins can prompt for configuration at enable time, with `sensitive: true` values stored in keychain (macOS) or protected credentials file (other platforms)
Claude can now reference the on-disk path of clipboard-pasted images for file operations
Ctrl+L now clears the screen and forces a full redraw — use this to recover when Cmd+K leaves the UI partially blank. Use `Ctrl+U` or double-Esc to clear prompt input.
--bare -p (SDK pattern) is ~14% faster to the API request
Memory: MEMORY.md index now truncates at 25KB as well as 200 lines
Disabled AskUserQuestion and plan-mode tools when `--channels` is active
VSCodeSpinner now turns red with "Not responding" when the backend hasn't responded for 60 seconds
−removed 1
DeprecatedTaskOutput tool in favor of using `Read` on the background task's output file path
↑improved 8
ImprovedBedrock SDK cold-start latency by overlapping profile fetch with other boot work
Improved--resume memory usage and startup latency on large sessions
Improved plugin startup — commands, skills, and agents now load from disk cache without re-fetching
ImprovedRemote Control session titles: AI-generated titles now appear within seconds of the first message
ImprovedWebFetch to identify as `Claude-User` so site operators can recognize and allowlist Claude Code traffic via `robots.txt`
Reduced WebFetch peak memory usage for large pages
Reduced scrollback resets in long sessions from once per turn to once per ~50 messages
Faster claude -p startup with unauthenticated HTTP/SSE MCP servers (~600ms saved)

Fixed mouse tracking escape sequences leaking to shell prompt after exit
FixedClaude Code hanging on exit on macOS
Fixed screen flashing blank after being idle for a few seconds
Fixed a hang when diffing very large files with few common lines — diffs now time out after 5 seconds and fall back gracefully
Fixed a 1–8 second UI freeze on startup when voice input was enabled, caused by eagerly loading the native audio module
Fixed a startup regression where Claude Code would wait ~3s for claude.ai MCP config fetch before proceeding

Fixed claude.ai MCP connectors (Slack, Gmail, etc.) not being available in single-turn `--print` mode

Fixed space key being swallowed for up to 3 seconds after releasing voice hold-to-talk
Fixed ALSA library errors corrupting the terminal UI when using voice mode on Linux without audio hardware (Docker, headless, WSL1)
