Claude Code v2.1.214

What's changed

• Fixed single-segment dir/** allow rules like Edit(src/**) auto-approving writes to nested dir/ directories anywhere in the tree instead of only <cwd>/dir

• Fixed a permission-check bypass affecting commands run in Windows PowerShell 5.1 sessions

• Fixed Bash permission checks to fail closed on file-descriptor redirect forms that bash parses differently than the permission analyzer

• Fixed Bash permission checks misjudging very long commands — commands over 10,000 characters now always prompt instead of running automatically

• Fixed Bash permission checks treating zsh variable subscripts and modifiers in [[ ]] comparisons as inert text — these commands now prompt for approval

• Fixed Bash permission checks to no longer auto-approve certain help and man commands that could run unsafe options, command substitutions, or backslash paths

• Fixed permission prompts on remote sessions that could proceed before the local confirmation dialog

• Added the EndConversation tool: Claude can end sessions with highly abusive users or jailbreak attempts, as on claude.ai since 2025 — see https://www.anthropic.com/research/end-subset-conversations

• Added a periodic progress heartbeat for long-running tool calls that previously went silent

• Added an ISO modified timestamp to memory file frontmatter

• Added message.uuid, client_request_id, and tool_source attributes to OpenTelemetry log events for message-level correlation and tool provenance

• Added CLAUDE_CODE_OTEL_CONTENT_MAX_LENGTH to configure the 60 KB truncation limit on OpenTelemetry content attributes

• Added reasoning effort to the subagentStatusLine payload, so custom agent rows can render model and effort

• Added permission prompts for docker commands (including the Podman docker shim) carrying daemon-redirect flags (--url, --connection, --identity, and Podman's remote mode) that previously ran without one

• Fixed a crash when a GrowthBook feature evaluates to null, and a bug where a malformed flag payload could wipe the cached feature flags

• Fixed Bash tool killing the Claude session when a pkill -f pattern accidentally matched the CLI's own process (Linux)

• Fixed unbounded memory growth when --settings points at a device file or multi-GB file; oversized (>2 MiB) settings files now fail at startup with a clear error

• Fixed streaming turns failing with "Socket is closed" behind corporate proxies on Windows

• Fixed stream-json output truncation at exit for slow-reading SDK/pipeline consumers; the exit drain now scales with queued bytes instead of a flat 2s cap

• Fixed scheduled tasks refusing their own configured prompt as untrusted input — the fired prompt is now delivered as the session's assigned task

• Fixed PowerShell tool commands hanging until timeout when a child process waited on standard input (Windows)

• Fixed Python scripts under the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeDecodeError when reading non-UTF-8 data from standard input (Windows)

• Fixed Python scripts run via the PowerShell tool crashing with UnicodeEncodeError on non-ASCII output, and PowerShell 7 error messages containing raw ANSI escape sequences (Windows)

• Fixed the PowerShell tool reporting where.exe, fc.exe, and diff.exe as errors when they return a valid negative answer (Windows)

• Fixed > and >> under the PowerShell tool on Windows PowerShell 5.1 writing UTF-16LE files that other tools couldn't read as UTF-8

• Fixed a displaced background daemon deleting its successor's control socket on shutdown, which made the next client kill the healthy replacement daemon

• Fixed background sessions parked with ← or /background and left idle keeping the background daemon and a worker process alive indefinitely

• Fixed completed background sessions being impossible to remove via claude rm or the agent view once the background service had gone idle

• Fixed background sessions dispatched from a non-git folder being impossible to delete from the agents view

• Fixed reopening a stopped background session failing to restore its saved conversation when an unreadable folder exists in the session store

• Fixed the Remote Control "session ready" push notification firing for sessions where Remote Control was not explicitly enabled

• Fixed /install-github-app and the /mcp settings menu being blocked in agent-view sessions — they're now refused only in background sessions with no terminal attached

• Fixed plugins enabled via the --settings CLI flag not loading (regression since v2.1.181)

• Fixed feature flags going stale in long-running sessions after the OAuth token rotates

• Fixed /ultrareview refusing to run in repos with no merge base — it now offers to review all tracked files

• Fixed claude update and claude doctor hanging silently, and the /status System diagnostics section going blank, when a shell-config path is a directory

• Fixed memory frontmatter values being silently truncated at an inline # when memory files are saved

• Fixed session cost and token telemetry double-counting on streams that emit multiple cumulative message_delta frames

• Fixed a spurious "check your network" warning that appeared while the advisor was thinking

• Fixed hooks with exit code 2 not blocking as documented when the hook's stdout JSON fails schema validation

• Fixed OTel log events emitted outside the turn's async context missing the interaction span's trace context

• Fixed MCP transient errors during prompts/resources refresh clearing the server's slash commands and resources

• Improved the claude rc workspace-trust error in the home directory to say trust there is never saved and to suggest running from a project directory

• Changed single-segment dir/** hook if: conditions to match only <cwd>/dir; write **/dir/** for any-depth matching. deny/ask permission rules keep their any-depth match.
