v2.1.144

Bug Fixes

• Fixed startup hanging up to 75s when `api.anthropic.com` is unreachable by implementing a 15s timeout for side-channel API calls
• Fixed garbled terminal output after missed window-resize events by enabling self-healing on the next frame
• Fixed progressive terminal display corruption (stale/garbled glyphs) in long sessions that previously required a resize or restart to clear
• Fixed macOS background sessions crashing with "exit 1 before init" when the project is in a Full Disk Access-protected folder
• Fixed unrecoverable conversation state when reading a file with an image extension that mismatches its content (e.g. HTML saved as .png) by falling back to text processing
• Fixed spurious tool errors during search by ensuring `head`/`tail` file views satisfy read-before-edit checks and treating non-matches from grep/diff as informational instead of command failures
• Fixed /branch failing with "No conversation to branch" after entering a worktree or in some background sessions
• Fixed pressing Escape in the AskUserQuestion notes field aborting the turn instead of returning to answer selection
• Fixed model selection not applying when changed via the IDE model picker or `applyFlagSettings` after startup
• Fixed resumed sessions incorrectly inheriting the model choice from another session instead of retaining their original model
• Fixed Bedrock and Vertex users being unable to select "Opus (1M context)" from the /model picker
• Fixed remote-session login failing with "Can't access this organization" for users with specific configuration settings
• Fixed MCP servers with paginated `tools/list` responses only returning the first page of tools
• Fixed MCP images with unsupported MIME types (e.g. SVG) breaking the conversation by saving them to disk and referencing them in the tool result
• Fixed file descriptor exhaustion during builds inside skill directories by preventing non-`.md` files from triggering skill reloads
• Fixed session title being generated from plugin monitor output instead of the user's first prompt
• Fixed Skill tool failing with a permission error in headless mode
• Fixed plugins enabled in user settings showing "not cached" errors on fresh machines; added an install hint for project-specific plugins
• Fixed `claude mcp list` silently reporting no servers when configuration files were unparsable, now showing configuration errors instead
• Fixed background side-queries on custom `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` setups and Bedrock Mantle not using Haiku correctly
• Fixed scrolling and transcript navigation (PgUp/PgDn, mouse wheel, Ctrl+O) not working in attached background sessions on Windows
• Fixed a crash when closing the terminal while attached to a background session
• Fixed `! <cmd>` exec sessions not interrupting when Ctrl+C is pressed while attached
• Fixed agent view shell-command rows lingering under Working after completion and re-running commands on Enter press
• Fixed keyboard input becoming unresponsive in `claude agents` on Windows Terminal after pressing ←
• Fixed ghost characters appearing at the left edge when switching panes in Agent View on Windows Terminal with CJK content
• Ensured /bg and ←-detach preserve directories added via /add-dir
• Fixed Edit/Write refusing to operate right after detaching a session that was editing in place
• Fixed `claude respawn <id>` showing "stopped" for a stopped background session instead of running it
• Fixed /resume picker not showing sessions forked from a background session
• Fixed hanging when opening a session from `claude agents` or running `claude logs <id>` if the background service was unresponsive, now with a 10s timeout
• Fixed background Bash tasks spawned by subagents staying "Running" in SDK task panels after process exit
• Fixed completed or stopped background sessions being permanently marked as a startup crash
• Fixed markdown links in `claude agents` attached sessions rendering as plain text instead of hyperlinks
• Restored custom `spinnerVerbs` to apply only to the command execution message, not the post-turn duration message
• Made `claude agents` / --bg rejection messages name the specific gate that caused rejection
• Echoed the session name in the post-spawn confirmation when using `claude --bg --name <label>`
• Ensured renaming a background session via Ctrl+R in `claude agents` immediately updates the attached session's banner
• Applied background session worktree isolation guard for non-git VCS users with `WorktreeCreate` hooks
• Ensured plugin marketplace add/update respects `CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS`
• Made /plugin return to the Installed list after enabling, disabling, or uninstalling a plugin
• Updated /doctor to show an exec-form example when a command hook is missing the `command` field
• Stopped showing skill-listing truncation as a startup notification; users must now run /doctor
• Improved recovery from rare pre-response stream stalls by retrying streaming once instead of falling back to non-streaming
• Improved SDK/headless MCP startup by overlapping pre-wait with startup, potentially saving up to 2s with slow servers
• Ensured the post-survey follow-up hint appears after every non-dismiss survey response with context-aware copy
