v2.1.80
Claude CodeSummary
This release introduces several new configuration and integration features, including inline plugin definitions and support for overriding model effort via frontmatter. Key fixes address issues with session restoration after parallel tool calls and resolve WebSocket failures related to TLS fingerprinting. Performance improvements include reduced startup memory usage for large repositories.
New Features
- Added `rate_limits` field to statusline scripts for displaying Claude.ai rate limit usage (5-hour and 7-day windows with `used_percentage` and `resets_at`)
- Added `source: 'settings'` plugin marketplace source, allowing plugin entries to be declared inline in settings.json
- Added CLI tool usage detection to plugin tips, supplementing file pattern matching
- Added `effort` frontmatter support for skills and slash commands to override the model effort level when invoked
- Enabled `--channels` (research preview) allowing MCP servers to push messages into your session
Bug Fixes
- Fixed `--resume` dropping parallel tool results, ensuring all tool_use/tool_result pairs are restored instead of showing placeholders
- Fixed voice mode WebSocket failures caused by Cloudflare bot detection on non-browser TLS fingerprints
- Fixed 400 errors when using fine-grained tool streaming through API proxies, Bedrock, or Vertex
- Fixed `/remote-control` appearing for gateway and third-party provider deployments where it is non-functional
- Fixed `/sandbox` tab switching not responding to Tab or arrow keys
- Fixed managed settings (like `enabledPlugins`, `permissions.defaultMode`, policy-set env vars) not being applied at startup when `remote-settings.json` was cached
Improvements
- Improved responsiveness of `@` file autocomplete in large git repositories
- Improved `/effort` to display the resolved auto effort level, matching the status bar indicator
- Improved `/permissions` so that Tab and arrow keys now switch tabs from within a list
- Improved background tasks panel; the left arrow now closes the panel from the list view
- Simplified plugin install tips to use a single `/plugin install` command instead of a two-step flow
- Reduced memory usage on startup in large repositories (saving approximately 80 MB on 250k-file repos)
