Claude Code v2.1.193

Published June 25, 2026 · Category: AI Agents

Overview

What's changed

• Added autoMode.classifyAllShell setting to route all Bash/PowerShell commands through the auto-mode classifier instead of only arbitrary-code-execution patterns
• Added auto-mode denial reasons to the transcript, the denial toast, and /permissions recent denials
• Added claude_code.assistant_response OpenTelemetry log event containing the model's response text. Redacted unless OTEL_LOG_ASSISTANT_RESPONSES=1; when that var is unset it follows OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS, so deployments that already log prompt content will start receiving response content on upgrade — set OTEL_LOG_ASSISTANT_RESPONSES=0 to keep prompts-only.
• Added live file path autocomplete to bash mode (!)
• Added a startup notice when MCP servers need authentication, pointing at /mcp
• Added automatic memory-pressure reaping for idle background shell commands (disable with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BG_SHELL_PRESSURE_REAP=1)
• Fixed /model and other client-data-gated UI showing stale/empty state immediately after /login
• Fixed backgrounding (←←) spuriously cancelling with "N background tasks would be abandoned" when all running tasks carry over to the new session
• Fixed pinned background agents being re-prompted to "Continue from where you left off" after every auto-update
• Fixed backgrounding the main turn spawning a phantom "general-purpose (resumed)" subagent that re-ran the main conversation
• Fixed agent panel hiding sibling agents when viewing a subagent
• Improved background agents: the launch result no longer instructs Claude to "end your response" — it keeps working on other tasks while the agent runs
• Improved MCP headersHelper auth: the helper now re-runs and reconnects automatically when a tool call returns 401/403
• Improved plugin auto-rename: marketplace renames maps are now followed automatically, updating your settings to the new name
• Improved /add-dir message when the directory is already a working directory
