ClaudeDevs shipped a Claude Code weekly batch: the CLI no longer waits for sandbox and MCP servers before accepting input, the Linux x64 download is about 4.5x smaller at ~75 MB, and native builds use 40–70 MB less memory per session. /cost now shows a prompt-cache line, /usage breaks down /loop runs and tokens, and /tasks lists each subagent's model and effort. An Auto mode tab in /permissions exposes defaults and custom rules without editing ~/.claude/settings.json. Remote Control reconnects after a server-side disconnect, surfaces permission prompts on phone, and lets you watch foreground subagent tool calls live. Run claude update.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓CLI startup no longer blocks on sandbox or MCP; Linux x64 is ~75 MB with 40–70 MB less RAM per session.
  • ✓/cost, /usage, and /tasks now expose cache hits, loop token burn, and subagent model/effort.
  • ✓Auto mode rules live in /permissions; Remote Control reconnects and streams subagent tool calls to phone.
