Summary

This release introduces a new environment variable, CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BACKGROUND_TASKS, giving users granular control to disable background tasks entirely. Additionally, a critical bug affecting the "Help improve Claude" setting fetch due to stale OAuth tokens has been resolved.

New Features

  • Added CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BACKGROUND_TASKS environment variable to allow users to disable all background task functionality, including auto-backgrounding and the Ctrl+B shortcut.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the "Help improve Claude" setting fetch would fail due to a stale OAuth token; it now correctly refreshes OAuth and retries the fetch.
