2.1.234
-
Added the optional
CLAUDE_CODE_PROJECT_DIR_NAMEenvironment variable: hosts that give each session its own config directory can choose a short name for the per-project transcript directory -
Added the
selection:clearkeybinding action, so a key can be bound to clear an in-app text selection; also works in the agents view - Added a GitLab merge request badge to the footer and statusline: repos with a GitLab remote and an authenticated glab CLI show MR !N with draft/pending/green states
-
Claude Code now continues your session automatically when a claude.ai usage limit resets; turn it off in
/config(“Continue automatically at usage limit”) - Claude is now told to use your account email only to identify you, and not to send it to unrelated services unless you ask
-
Security: remote file reads, session restore, CLAUDE.md includes, workflow scripts and file uploads now reject Windows NT-namespace (
\??\) paths, hardening the remaining pre-approval file accesses against the NTLM credential-leak vector - Fixed auto mode in very long sessions repeatedly re-checking and denying sandboxed commands’ network access after the conversation had been compacted
- Fixed session-scoped permission answers (including denies) being dropped when answering background subagent tool permission prompts
