v2.1.129

What's changed Added --plugin-url flag to fetch a plugin .zip archive from a URL for the current session Added CLAUDE_CODE_FORCE_SYNC_OUTPUT=1 env var to force-enable synchronized output on terminals that auto-detection misses (e.g. Emacs eat ) Added CLAUDE_CODE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_AUTO_UPDATE : when set on Homebrew or WinGet installations, Claude Code runs the upgrade command in the background and prompts to restart Plugin manifests: themes and monitors should now be declared under "experimental": { ... } . Top-level declarations still work but claude plugin validate will warn Gateway /v1/models discovery for the /model picker is now opt-in via CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY=1 (was automatic in 2.1.126–2.1.128) Ctrl+R history picker now defaults to searching all prompts across all projects, matching pre-2.1.124 behavior. Press Ctrl+S to narrow to the current project or session Third-party deployments (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, or ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL gateway) no longer see spinner tips pointing at first-party Anthropic surfaces skillOverrides setting now works: off hides from model and / , user-invocable-only hides from model only, name-only collapses description The claude_code.pull_request.count OTel metric now counts PRs/MRs created via MCP tools, not just shell commands Policy refusal error messages now include the API Request ID for easier support debugging Fixed API errors with unrecognized 400 status codes showing raw JSON instead of the underlying error message
