Shipped June 6 right after 2.1.166. Messages relayed via SendMessage from other Claude sessions no longer carry user authority. Receivers refuse relayed permission requests and auto mode blocks them outright. Source: Claude Code Docs If you run multiple Claude sessions that talk to each other, this matters. One compromised or confused session could previously borrow another's authority. Also fixes the JetBrains terminal flicker on IntelliJ, PyCharm, and WebStorm 2026.1+, which is a small thing that's been quietly annoying me.

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...

This one rearranged my week. An essay published August 4 walks through Databricks' independent benchmark of coding harnesses against its own multi-million-line codebase. Pi, a harness with four built-in tools and a system prompt under 1,000 tokens, paired with Opus 4.8 at xhig...
