Claude Code 2.1.286: stacked permission counts; resume keeps parallel-tool turns; secret redaction & model-fallback hardening

Anthropic shipped Claude Code 2.1.286 on 2026-09-30 (npm @anthropic-ai/[email protected]): permission prompts show stacked counts like "2 of 5"; --resume/--continue no longer drop turns after parallel tool-call crashes; broader secret/Bearer/URL-password redaction; one same-tier prior-model retry when the API refuses the default/alias; Remote Control disconnects when org policy disables it; Agent SDK TS 0.3.286 / Python 0.2.163 parity.

Claude Code 2.1.286: stacked permission counts; resume keeps parallel-tool turns; secret redaction & model-fallback hardening

Key Takeaways

  • Release v2.1.286; npm ~2026-09-30T17:14:38Z
  • Stacked permission prompts show counts like "2 of 5"; fullscreen "N more" rows are mouse-clickable
  • --resume/--continue keep turns after parallel tool-call crashes; non-text tool/hook returns no longer 400
  • Secret redaction hardened for Bearer/Basic, URL passwords, ZWSP key names; /feedback zip JSON fixed
  • Agent SDK TS 0.3.286 / Python 0.2.163 parity; docs https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview

Claude Code Projects opens to every Pro and Max user on the waitlist: one conversation coordinating parallel cloud threads

On Oct 9 ClaudeDevs said every Pro and Max user on the Claude Code Projects waitlist has been let in. A project is a long-running coordinator conversation that spins each task into its own thread, usually a parallel cloud session on its own branch that opens a PR when needed; threads can also run locally via Remote Control. Still public beta; not yet on Team or Enterprise.

Key Takeaways

  • From Oct 9, every Pro/Max user on the waitlist has access; still public beta, not on Team/Enterprise.
  • A project is one coordinator conversation plus N threads, each with its own context window; cloud threads work on their own branch and open PRs.
  • Since Sep 23, threads can run on your own machine via Remote Control when a task needs local tools.
  • New threads inherit project instructions and memory, each repo's CLAUDE.md and skills, and your claude.ai connectors.
  • Projects draw on the same plan limits as other Claude Code sessions and use them faster; no benchmarks were published.

Claude Code speeds CLI startup, shrinks Linux builds 4.5x, and reconnects Remote Control sessions

ClaudeDevs shipped a Claude Code weekly batch aimed at startup latency, token observability, and mobile remote control. The CLI no longer waits for the sandbox and MCP servers before accepting input; the Linux x64 download is about 4.5x smaller at roughly 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 so teams can see which loops burn quota, and /tasks lists each subagent's model and effort level. An Auto mode tab in /permissions exposes default allow/block rules and custom additions without hand-editing ~/.claude/settings.json. Remote Control reconnects after a server-side disconnect instead of exiting, surfaces permission prompts and new messages on phone after reconnect, and lets you watch a foreground subagent's tool calls live. Anthropic asked users to 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.
