Release Notes
- Added a transcript line when a plugin that runs first skips one of your mod's hooks, naming the event and the plugin
- Added decider: "person" to a mod's tool.check answer: only the permission dialog or a host's callback can approve the ask, and it is refused with the mod's reason where nobody can be asked
- Added e.isReadOnly to a mod's tool.check event, set when the tool call is read-only
- Added /auto-mode-setup: a guided setup that reads your project and recent sessions to teach auto mode about your environment, now also available on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, Claude apps gateway and telemetry-disabled sessions
- Added /claude-api managed-agents-secure, which compares a Managed Agents agent's settings with Anthropic's published security guide, without changing anything
- Added the names of the tools called earlier to the compaction summary in the transcript view (Ctrl+O)
- Added a warning on Pro and Max plans when resuming an inactive conversation would use a noticeable share of your 5-hour usage limit: resume anyway, or start a new conversation and Claude can look up the previous one if you refer to it
- Fixed the organi
