After you finish

Do not report this as applied to DevAgentRadar. You cannot write the visitor's loop.

Tell the human: open https://devagentradar.com/proposals/claude-code-v2-1-212-improve-with-claude-code-v2-1-212-v2-1-212 and mark Applied, Skipped, or Failed. Proposal id: 73cd09ec-b426-4450-bc58-0b4488d7292e

Your job

  1. Restate the change in one sentence.
  2. Propose a minimal plan for my repo (or a throwaway pilot).
  3. Implement only what I approve; prefer small diffs and tests.
  4. Call out risks (permissions, breaking APIs, cost).

Start by confirming you understood the proposal.

v2.1.212

/fork now copies your conversation into a new background session (its own row in claude agents) while you keep working; the in-session subagent it used to launch is now /subtask · Added claude auto-mode reset to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass --yes to skip) · Added a session-wide limit on WebSearch tool calls (default 200, tunable via CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_WEB_SEARCHES_PER_SESSION) to stop runaway search loops · +45 more changes
Verified excerpt — the source's own words

What's changed

  • /fork now copies your conversation into a new background session (its own row in claude agents) while you keep working; the in-session subagent it used to launch is now /subtask
  • Added claude auto-mode reset to restore the default auto-mode configuration, with a confirmation prompt (pass --yes to skip)
  • Added a session-wide limit on WebSearch tool calls (default 200, tunable via CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_WEB_SEARCHES_PER_SESSION) to stop runaway search loops
  • Added a per-session cap on subagent spawns (default 200, override with CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_SUBAGENTS_PER_SESSION) to stop runaway delegation loops; /clear resets the budget
  • MCP tool calls running longer than 2 minutes now move to the background automatically so the session stays usable; configure the threshold or disable with CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_AUTO_BACKGROUND_MS
  • Typing /resume in the agent view now opens a picker of past sessions — including sessions deleted from the list — and resumes your pick as a background session
  • Fixed plan mode auto-running file-modifying Bash commands (e.g. touch, rm) without a permission prompt or SDK canUseTool callback
