• EnterWorktree now prompts before entering worktrees outside .claude/worktrees/. If your workflow uses worktrees in custom locations, expect a new confirmation dialog that was not there before.

• MCP per-server request_timeout_ms was silently ignored in fresh sessions. Custom timeouts via --mcp-config or .mcp.json only took effect after a reconnection, so long-running MCP tool calls were hitting the 60s default until now (more below).

• CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY was silently dropped by background agents and claude agents. The shell-exported override now follows the dispatching session, so background workers will actually use your custom API parameters.

• /doctor is now a comprehensive setup checkup (/checkup is its alias). It can also propose trimming checked-in CLAUDE.md files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase.

New in 2.1.206, 2.1.205

2.1.206 (July 10, 2026)

• 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 request_timeout_ms, which caused long-running MCP tool calls to time out at the 60s default in fresh sessions
• Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_EXTRA_BODY 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

2.1.205 (July 10, 2026)

• Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files
• Fixed --json-schema silently producing unstructured output when the schema was invalid, and schemas using the format keyword being rejected
• Fixed a message sent while Claude was working being silently lost when the turn ended at the --max-turns limit
• Fixed Windows worktree removal deleting files outside the worktree when an NTFS junction or directory symlink existed inside it
• Fixed background agents staying shown as "failed" or "completed" in the agent list after being resumed with SendMessage
• Fixed background jobs flipping from "needs input" back to "working" in the agent list when the agent's turn contained no readable text
• Fixed claude attach erroring when a background agent was mid-upgrade restart instead of waiting for it to come back
• Fixed session-to-PR linking missing a PR created in a Bash call whose output exceeded the 30K inline limit
• Fixed claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop getting stuck when a server name contains unsupported characters; invalid names are now reported and remaining servers still import
• Fixed a plugin LSP server that fails to initialize preventing a valid LSP server from another plugin handling the same file extension
• Fixed a Windows crash when the directory Claude was launched from is deleted, locked, or unmounted while a command is running
• Fixed a crash when a file watcher was closed while a directory scan was still in flight
• Fixed project verify skills being rewritten on every session instead of only when a documented command changed
• Fixed the agent view rendering one line too high and clipping its header when the job list slightly overflowed the screen
• Fixed background tasks in the web and mobile Remote Control panels showing stale "Running" status by forwarding full task state on every membership change
• Improved auto mode to ask before running rm -rf on a variable it can't resolve from context
• Auto-update binary downloads now stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, cutting the updater's peak memory usage by roughly 400 MB
• Background task notifications now explicitly state that no human input has occurred, preventing fabricated in-transcript approvals from being acted on
• Improved agent view: sessions that edit, merge, comment on, or push to an existing PR now link it in claude agents
• Improved agent view: rows now show a colored state word and a classifier-written headline instead of raw tool call text, and the peek opens with full status including the exact ask for blocked sessions
• /doctor is now a full setup checkup that can diagnose and fix issues; /checkup is its alias
• Reserved the "Claude Browser" MCP server name (alongside "Claude Preview") ahead of the Claude Desktop pane rename; user-configured MCP servers can no longer register under either name
• Fixed Cowork VM-mode local-agent sessions failing to start with "Not logged in, Please run /login" on CLI 2.1.203+
