v2.1.140
Claude CodeSummary
This release focuses heavily on stability and reliability, fixing numerous issues related to background service startup, configuration reloading, and tool call validation. Key improvements include better handling of agent type matching and clearer error messaging for hanging commands.
New Features
- Added warning when a default plugin component folder is silently ignored due to configuration in `plugin.json`.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed `/goal` command hanging silently when `disableAllHooks` or `allowManagedHooksOnly` is set; it now displays a clear message.
- Fixed a regression where symlinked settings files caused incorrect change events and unnecessary `ConfigChange` hooks during settings hot-reload.
- Fixed `claude --bg` failing with a "connection dropped mid-request" error when the background service was idling.
- Fixed background service startup failures on machines with enterprise endpoint security by increasing startup timeout.
- Fixed remote managed settings not retrying after a 401 error; it now retries once after forcing a token refresh.
- Fixed managed `extraKnownMarketplaces` auto-update policy not being saved correctly to `known_marketplaces.json`.
- Fixed `/loop` scheduling unnecessary wakeups to poll for background tasks that had already signaled completion.
- Fixed a recurring event-loop stall on Windows caused by synchronous `where.exe` re-spawns when a required executable (like `gh`) was missing.
- Fixed `Read` tool calls failing validation when the `offset` parameter was provided as a whitespace-padded or `+`-prefixed string.
- Fixed the native terminal cursor not remaining at the input caret when the terminal window lost focus.
Improvements
- Improved Agent tool `subagent_type` matching to accept case- and separator-insensitive values (e.g., recognizing `"Code Reviewer"` as `code-reviewer`).
- Updated the agent color palette.
