Claude Code v2.1.207

What's changed

• Auto mode is now available without CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via disableAutoMode in settings

• Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks

• Fixed remote managed settings from a non-interactive run (claude -p, the SDK) being permanently recorded as consented without ever showing the security consent dialog

• Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates

• Fixed the auto-updater overwriting a custom launcher script or symlink at ~/.local/bin/claude on every release; /doctor now reports an externally managed launcher

• Fixed compound commands with cd prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to /dev/null

• Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming

• Fixed extensions.worktreeConfig being left in the repo's .git/config (breaking go-git tools like tea) after the last worktree.sparsePaths worktree was removed

• Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, .ignore, and .worktreeinclude breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation

• Fixed a crash loop in agent teams where a malformed teammate mailbox message caused repeated errors every second until the mailbox file was manually deleted

• Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row

• Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list

• Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh

• Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web

• Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname

• Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request

• Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed [Pasted text #N] placeholder instead of adding a second one

• Improved agent view: blocked session peeks now lead with the question and show a worded staleness clock (waiting 3m) instead of the same timestamp twice

• Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8

• Changed auto mode to no longer read autoMode from .claude/settings.local.json (repo-resident); use ~/.claude/settings.json instead

• Fixed an indefinite hang on Windows when AWS credential resolution stalls (e.g. a stuck credential_process): the 60-second stall guard now fires instead of waiting forever.

• Plugin hooks/monitors/MCP headersHelper: ${user_config.*} in shell-form commands is now rejected (shell-injection fix). Hooks: use exec form (args array) or $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY>; monitors and headersHelper: read the value inside the script (config file or the server's env block).

• Plugin option values (pluginConfigs) are no longer read from project-level .claude/settings.json; only user, --settings, and managed settings are honored

• Fixed /usage-credits amount inputs silently stripping malformed values (e.g. a pasted timestamp) to digits; malformed amounts are now rejected with an error, and amounts over $1,000 require a typed confirmation
