Release Notes
- Added directory path suggestions to /cd, matching /add-dir behavior
- Added a /doctor check that proposes trimming checked-in CLAUDE.md files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase
- /commit-push-pr now auto-allows git push to the repo's configured push remote (remote.pushDefault, or the sole remote when only one is configured) in addition to origin
- Gateway: /login now supports Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints
- EnterWorktree now asks for confirmation before entering a git worktree outside the project's .claude/worktrees/ directory
- Background agents now upgrade to a new version in the background right after a Claude Code update, instead of paying a slow stale-session upgrade when you attach
- Fixed an expired login failing every model with a misleading "There's an issue with the selected model" error instead of prompting to run /login
- Fixed claude --resume and --continue not responding to keyboard input on startup
- Fixed MCP servers configured via --mcp-config or .mcp.json ignoring a per-server requesttimeoutms, which caused long-running MCP tool calls to time out at the 60s default in fresh sessions
- Fixed CLAUDECODEEXTRABODY being silently ignored by claude agents / --bg background workers; the shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session
- Fixed OAuth MCP servers requiring manual re-authentication after a single failed token refresh
- Fixed --permission-prompt-tool pointing at an MCP server crashing with "MCP tool not found" on cold start before the server finishes connecting
- Fixed /model picker rows printing a price for a different model than the row named, and stopped quoting first-party list prices on providers that don't bill them
- Fixed server-provided model rows being misplaced in the /model picker when an entitlement or allowlist restriction drops the row they were positioned against
- Fixed desktop sessions getting stuck showing "running" after a slash command was sent mid-turn
- Fixed keyboard input being ignored in the agents view when a setup prompt appeared before a bare claude --resume on Windows
- Fixed claude rm leaving the removed job in the daemon roster, causing the row to reappear in claude agents
- Fixed /remote-control showing "Unknown command" when logged out — it now explains how to sign in
- Fixed left arrow not stepping back out of a phase or agent in the workflow detail view
- Fixed /status listing the same broken-install warning twice
- Fixed false "disused plugin" tips and skewed disuse telemetry for LSP plugins
- Fixed /doctor's update check to compare Homebrew installs against their cask's channel instead of the settings channel
- Fixed the fullscreen jump-to-bottom pill suggesting Ctrl+End on macOS, not showing rebound chords, and wrapping over the transcript
- Bedrock: fixed a multi-minute startup hang when using an awsCredentialExport helper on networks with restricted egress
- Improved /code-review findings quality on claude-opus-4-8 across all effort levels
- Improved agents view: status column now uses full terminal width instead of truncating at 64 characters
- Changed agents view: Ctrl+X now permanently removes a completed session, and sessions no longer render twice; deleted background jobs stay deleted
