Claude Code v2.1.208 Ships Screen-Reader Mode, jj→Esc Vim Remaps, and a Corporate Process Wrapper

Claude Code Changelog·medium signal

The July 14 release adds an opt-in plain-text screen-reader mode (claude --ax-screen-reader / CLAUDE_AX_SCREEN_READER=1), a vimInsertModeRemaps setting to map two-key sequences like jj to Escape, and CLAUDE_CODE_PROCESS_WRAPPER so every self-spawn (agent view, background service) routes through a required corporate launcher executable. The wrapper hook is the notable one for regulated shops: it lets IT interpose on every Claude Code subprocess without patching the binary.
