Summary

This release introduces a renamed and enhanced /code-review command, now supporting effort levels. Several critical bugs have been resolved across Windows, GNOME Terminal, and background session handling. Additionally, auto-updater reliability has been improved, and auto mode behavior regarding user questions has been refined.

New Features

  • Renamed the /simplify command to /code-review, now supporting an optional effort level (e.g., /code-review high)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Windows PowerShell tool failing with "command line is invalid" when `pwsh` is installed via winget or the Microsoft Store
  • Fixed MCP `resources/list`, `resources/templates/list`, and `prompts/list` dropping items past page 1 on paginating servers
  • Fixed full-screen strobing in attached background sessions on Windows Terminal while Claude is streaming
  • Fixed the auto-updater status line not showing your current version when an update fails
  • Fixed on Windows, removing a background-job worktree no longer follows NTFS junctions into the main repo
  • Fixed /background refusing sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
  • Fixed backgrounded sessions re-prompting for tool permissions you already granted with "don't ask again"
  • Fixed /theme color editor and "New custom theme" dialogs not responding to Esc
  • Fixed an uncaught exception at the end of streaming sessions when running via the Agent SDK
  • Fixed `forceLoginOrgUUID` and `forceLoginMethod` managed-settings policies not being enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
  • Fixed GNOME Terminal right-click and middle-click paste not inserting text
  • Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL` not being forwarded to child processes in multi-agent sessions

Improvements

  • Auto mode no longer suppresses `AskUserQuestion` when the user or a skill explicitly relies on it
  • Improved auto-updater reliability by retrying transient network failures for native version checks and downloads
  • Improved diff rendering performance for large file edits
