TL;DR

• SendMessage can now start conversations with Remote Control sessions on other machines (more below). ListAgents shows them as name [ref]; previously you could only reply after they messaged you first.

• Fixed a transient 401 silently replacing a long-lived CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN with a stored login's short-lived token. If headless sessions hit random auth failures until restart, update to 2.1.225.

• Auto mode no longer counts a safety-filter refusal of its own permission check toward the consecutive-block limit. The action is still denied, but the model is told to move on instead of retrying.

• Gateway spend-limit details now surface in the usage warning. The limit-reached message names the cap, its reset time, and the operator's message (requires gateway on 2.1.225).

New in 2.1.226, 2.1.225

2.1.226 (August 8, 2026)

• Bug fixes and reliability improvements

2.1.225 (August 8, 2026)

• Added gateway spend-limit support to Claude Code's usage warning; the limit-reached message now names the cap, its reset time, and the operator's message (requires the gateway on 2.1.225)
• Added a workspace trust prompt to claude agents for untrusted directories, matching the behavior of claude
• Fixed a transient 401 replacing a long-lived CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN with a stored login's short-lived token, breaking headless sessions until restart
• Fixed MCP OAuth servers on macOS intermittently failing with a burst of 401 errors, as if never authenticated, after a keychain read timed out
• Fixed auto mode counting a safety-filter refusal of its own permission check toward the consecutive-block limit; the action is still denied, but the model is now told to move on rather than retry
• Fixed cross-session messages staying parked without a notice or expiry in headless sessions and during startup
• Fixed conversation history breaking on Remote Control session resume after very large conversations were compacted
• Fixed hovering over a session in another project in the agents list changing the directory the next agent starts in
• Fixed claude self-hosted-runner registering and then failing every session when --base-dir cannot be created or written; it now exits at startup with a clear error
• Fixed Claude Code on the web sessions being misreported as stuck, re-sending a growing event backlog on every reconnect
• Improved Remote Control: photos attached from the Claude app are now shown to Claude directly instead of being read from disk with a separate tool call
• [VSCode] Fixed Focus view folding away the latest to-do list, a pending question's context, and settled answers; thinking-only folds show "Thought for Ns" and re-collapse when their turn completes
• SendMessage can now start a conversation with your Remote Control sessions on other machines by name (ListAgents shows them as name [ref]), instead of only replying after they message you first
• SendMessage: a Remote Control recipient you already confirmed is never swapped for a same-named session on this machine when its own list couldn't be checked
