# Claude Code 2.1.51

Captured: 2026-05-10T16:27:28.327Z

- Added `claude remote-control` subcommand for external builds, enabling local environment serving for all users.
- Updated plugin marketplace default git timeout from 30s to 120s and added `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS` to configure.
- Added support for custom npm registries and specific version pinning when installing plugins from npm sources
- BashTool now skips login shell (`-l` flag) by default when a shell snapshot is available, improving command execution performance. Previously this required setting `CLAUDE_BASH_NO_LOGIN=true`.
- Fixed a security issue where `statusLine` and `fileSuggestion` hook commands could execute without workspace trust acceptance in interactive mode.
- Tool results larger than 50K characters are now persisted to disk (previously 100K). This reduces context window usage and improves conversation longevity.
- Fixed a bug where duplicate `control_response` messages (e.g. from WebSocket reconnects) could cause API 400 errors by pushing duplicate assistant messages into the conversation.
- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_ACCOUNT_UUID`, `CLAUDE_CODE_USER_EMAIL`, and `CLAUDE_CODE_ORGANIZATION_UUID` environment variables for SDK callers to provide account info synchronously, eliminating a race condition where early telemetry events lacked account metadata.
- Fixed slash command autocomplete crashing when a plugin's SKILL.md description is a YAML array or other non-string type
- The `/model` picker now shows human-readable labels (e.g., "Sonnet 4.5") instead of raw model IDs for pinned model versions, with an upgrade hint when a newer version is available.
- Managed settings can now be set via macOS plist or Windows Registry. Learn more at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#settings-files
