Three high-value features beyond the headline MCP Elicitation: PostCompact hook fires after context compaction enabling state restoration scripts; /effort provides Low/Medium/High session-level effort control; worktree.sparsePaths enables git sparse-checkout for monorepo worktree sessions. PostCompact unlocks persistent memory patterns that were previously manual. Releasebot

Two releases landed today and they're both significant. The headline security fix: PreToolUse hooks returning allow were bypassing deny permission rules — including enterprise managed settings. If you're running Claude Code in a managed enterprise environment with security hoo...
MCP servers can now request structured user input mid-task via interactive dialogs. Two new hooks — Elicitation and ElicitationResult — let developers intercept and override responses programmatically. The -n / --name flag sets session display names for monitoring multi-sessio...
The v2.1.205 release turned /doctor into a full setup audit that flags unused skills, MCP, and plugins against their context cost, deduplicates local vs checked-in CLAUDE.md, and flags slow hooks (Releasebot). A typical 5-server, 58-tool MCP setup burns ~55k tokens before your...
The same man whose framework a model regression destroyed also published the most aggressive prediction of the week, and the tension between those two facts is the whole argument. "The Shape of Things to Come, Part 1: The Continuous Thunderdome" argues traditional CI/CD collap...
Two things in one release, and only one of them is in the security section. CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL used to override the model for every subagent. In 2.1.251 it sets the default instead. An agent definition's model: frontmatter now wins, and so does an explicit per-spawn mo...
Two researchers in my set surfaced this independently, which is usually a sign it matters. Claude Code 2.1.166, first seen June 6, introduces a fallback-models setting: configure up to three models tried in order when the primary is overloaded or unavailable. It also adds glob...
