# Claude Code 2.1.97

Captured: 2026-05-10T16:27:28.330Z

- Added focus view toggle (`Ctrl+O`) in `NO_FLICKER` mode showing prompt, one-line tool summary with edit diffstats, and final response
- Added `refreshInterval` status line setting to re-run the status line command every N seconds
- Added `workspace.git_worktree` to the status line JSON input, set when the current directory is inside a linked git worktree
- Added `● N running` indicator in `/agents` next to agent types with live subagent instances
- Added syntax highlighting for Cedar policy files (`.cedar`, `.cedarpolicy`)
- Fixed `--dangerously-skip-permissions` being silently downgraded to accept-edits mode after approving a write to a protected path
- Fixed and hardened Bash tool permissions, tightening checks around env-var prefixes and network redirects, and reducing false prompts on common commands
- Fixed permission rules with names matching JavaScript prototype properties (e.g. `toString`) causing `settings.json` to be silently ignored
- Fixed managed-settings allow rules remaining active after an admin removed them until process restart
- Fixed `permissions.additionalDirectories` changes in settings not applying mid-session
- Fixed removing a directory from `settings.permissions.additionalDirectories` revoking access to the same directory passed via `--add-dir`
- Fixed MCP HTTP/SSE connections accumulating ~50 MB/hr of unreleased buffers when servers reconnect
- Fixed MCP OAuth `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl` not being honored on token refresh after restart, fixing ADFS and similar IdPs
- Fixed 429 retries burning all attempts in ~13 seconds when the server returns a small `Retry-After` — exponential backoff now applies as a minimum
- Fixed rate-limit upgrade options disappearing after context compaction
- Fixed several `/resume` picker issues: `--resume <name>` opening uneditable, Ctrl+A reload wiping search, empty list swallowing navigation, task-status text replacing conversation summary, and cross-project staleness
- Fixed file-edit diffs disappearing on `--resume` when the edited file was larger than 10KB
- Fixed `--resume` cache misses and lost mid-turn input from attachment messages not being saved to the transcript
- Fixed messages typed while Claude is working not being persisted to the transcript
- Fixed prompt-type `Stop`/`SubagentStop` hooks failing on long sessions, and hook evaluator API errors displaying "JSON validation failed" instead of the actual message
- Fixed subagents with worktree isolation or `cwd:` override leaking their working directory back to the parent session's Bash tool
- Fixed compaction writing duplicate multi-MB subagent transcript files on prompt-too-long retries
- Fixed `claude plugin update` reporting "already at the latest version" for git-based marketplace plugins when the remote had newer commits
- Fixed slash command picker breaking when a plugin's frontmatter `name` is a YAML boolean keyword
- Fixed copying wrapped URLs in `NO_FLICKER` mode inserting spaces at line breaks
- Fixed scroll rendering artifacts in `NO_FLICKER` mode when running inside zellij
- Fixed a crash in `NO_FLICKER` mode when hovering over MCP tool results
- Fixed a `NO_FLICKER` mode memory leak where API retries left stale streaming state
- Fixed slow mouse-wheel scrolling in `NO_FLICKER` mode on Windows Terminal
- Fixed custom status line not displaying in `NO_FLICKER` mode on terminals shorter than 24 rows
- Fixed Shift+Enter and Alt/Cmd+arrow shortcuts not working in Warp with `NO_FLICKER` mode
- Fixed Korean/Japanese/Unicode text becoming garbled when copied in no-flicker mode on Windows
- Fixed Bedrock SigV4 authentication failing when `AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK` or `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_BASE_URL` are set to empty strings (as GitHub Actions does for unset inputs)
- Improved Accept Edits mode to auto-approve filesystem commands prefixed with safe env vars or process wrappers (e.g. `LANG=C rm foo`, `timeout 5 mkdir out`)
- Improved auto mode and bypass-permissions mode to auto-approve sandbox network access prompts
- Improved sandbox: `sandbox.network.allowMachLookup` now takes effect on macOS
- Improved image handling: pasted and attached images are now compressed to the same token budget as images read via the Read tool
- Improved slash command and `@`-mention completion to trigger after CJK sentence punctuation, so Japanese/Chinese input no longer requires a space before `/` or `@`
- Improved Bridge sessions to show the local git repo, branch, and working directory on the claude.ai session card
- Improved footer layout: indicators (Focus, notifications) now stay on the mode-indicator row instead of wrapping below
- Improved context-low warning to show as a transient footer notification instead of a persistent row
- Improved markdown blockquotes to show a continuous left bar across wrapped lines
- Improved session transcript size by skipping empty hook entries and capping stored pre-edit file copies
- Improved transcript accuracy: per-block entries now carry the final token usage instead of the streaming placeholder
- Improved Bash tool OTEL tracing: subprocesses now inherit a W3C `TRACEPARENT` env var when tracing is enabled
- Updated `/claude-api` skill to cover Managed Agents alongside the Claude API
