Claude Code 2.1.111

New primitives

Agentic relevance

This version pushes the agent-orchestration frontier mainly through `/ultrareview`, which exposes cloud-based parallel multi-agent code review as a first-class command — fan-out review becomes a built-in primitive rather than something an operator must wire by hand. `/less-permission-prompts` and the glob/`cd`-prefix permission relaxations reduce interrupt friction in long autonomous runs, while `OTEL_LOG_RAW_API_BODIES` and the xhigh effort tier give orchestrators finer observability and compute-vs-latency control over delegated agents.

Hardening & fixes (29)

• Claude Opus 4.7 xhigh is now available! Use /effort to tune speed vs. intelligence (announcement dupe of the xhigh primitive; expanded availability)
• Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7 (access expansion of existing Auto mode)
• /effort now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments (improvement to existing command)
• Auto mode no longer requires --enable-auto-mode (relaxation of existing flag/capability)
• Read-only bash commands with glob patterns and `cd <project-dir> &&` prefixes no longer trigger a permission prompt (permission-handling improvement)
• Suggest the closest matching subcommand on near-miss CLI typos (UX improvement)
• Plan files are now named after your prompt instead of random words (naming improvement)
• Improved /setup-vertex and /setup-bedrock path display, seeding, and 1M-context option (improvement to existing commands)
• /skills menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` (improvement to existing menu)
• Ctrl+U now clears the entire input buffer; Ctrl+Y restores (keybinding behavior change)
• Ctrl+L now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing prompt input (keybinding behavior change)
• Transcript view footer now shows `[` and `v` shortcuts (UI surfacing of existing actions)
• The +N lines truncation marker is now a full-width rule (display improvement)
• Headless --output-format stream-json now includes plugin_errors on the init event (field addition to existing output)
• Suppressed spurious decompression/network/transient error messages in the TUI (noise reduction)
• Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries (revert/fix)
• Fixed terminal display tearing in iTerm2 + tmux when notifications are sent (fix)
• Fixed @ file suggestions re-scanning the project and showing only config files in fresh git repos (fix)
• Fixed stale LSP diagnostics appearing after an edit, causing redundant re-reads (fix)
• Fixed tab-completing /resume immediately resuming an arbitrary session (fix)
• Fixed /context grid rendering with extra blank lines (fix)
• Fixed /clear dropping the session name set by /rename (fix)
• Improved plugin error handling: distinguishes conflicting/invalid/overly-complex version requirements, fixes stale resolved versions, recovers interrupted installs (fix/improvement)
• Fixed Claude calling a non-existent commit skill showing Unknown skill: commit (fix)
• Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (fix)
• Fixed feedback surveys appearing back-to-back (fix)
• Fixed bare URLs in tool output being unclickable when wrapped across lines (fix)
• Windows: CLAUDE_ENV_FILE and SessionStart hook env files now apply (previously a no-op) (fix)
• Windows: permission rules with drive-letter paths now correctly root-anchored and case-normalized (fix)

Raw changelog

## 2.1.111

- Claude Opus 4.7 xhigh is now available! Use /effort to tune speed vs. intelligence
- Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7
- Added `xhigh` effort level for Opus 4.7, sitting between `high` and `max`. Available via `/effort`, `--effort`, and the model picker; other models fall back to `high`
- `/effort` now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm
- Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from `/theme`
- Added `/less-permission-prompts` skill — scans transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls and proposes a prioritized allowlist for `.claude/settings.json`
- Added `/ultrareview` for running comprehensive code review in the cloud using parallel multi-agent analysis and critique — invoke with no arguments to review your current branch, or `/ultrareview <PR#>` to fetch and review a specific GitHub PR
- Auto mode no longer requires `--enable-auto-mode`
- Windows: PowerShell tool is progressively rolling out. Opt in or out with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL`. On Linux and macOS, enable with `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=1` (requires `pwsh` on PATH)
- Read-only bash commands with glob patterns (e.g. `ls *.ts`) and commands starting with `cd <project-dir> &&` no longer trigger a permission prompt
- Suggest the closest matching subcommand when `claude <word>` is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. `claude udpate` → "Did you mean `claude update`?")
- Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. `fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md`) instead of purely random words
- Improved `/setup-vertex` and `/setup-bedrock` to show the actual `settings.json` path when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set, seed model candidates from existing pins on re-run, and offer a "with 1M context" option for supported models
- `/skills` menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press `t` to toggle
- `Ctrl+U` now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press `Ctrl+Y` to restore
- `Ctrl+L` now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing the prompt input
- Transcript view footer now shows `[` (dump to scrollback) and `v` (open in editor) shortcuts
- The "+N lines" marker for truncated long pastes is now a full-width rule for easier scanning
- Headless `--output-format stream-json` now includes `plugin_errors` on the init event when plugins are demoted for unsatisfied dependencies
- Added `OTEL_LOG_RAW_API_BODIES` environment variable to emit full API request and response bodies as OpenTelemetry log events for debugging
- Suppressed spurious decompression, network, and transient error messages that could appear in the TUI during normal operation
- Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries — it traded long waits for more outright failures during API overload
- Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent
- Fixed `@` file suggestions re-scanning the entire project on every turn in non-git working directories, and showing only config files in freshly-initialized git repos with no tracked files
- Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited
- Fixed tab-completing `/resume` immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker
- Fixed `/context` grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows
- Fixed `/clear` dropping the session name set by `/rename`, causing statusline output to lose `session_name`
- Improved plugin error handling: dependency errors now distinguish conflicting, invalid, and overly complex version requirements; fixed stale resolved versions after `plugin update`; `plugin install` now recovers from interrupted prior installs
- Fixed Claude calling a non-existent `commit` skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom `/commit` command
- Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers)
- Fixed feedback surveys appearing back-to-back after dismissing one
- Fixed bare URLs in bash/PowerShell/MCP tool output being unclickable when the terminal wraps them across lines
- Windows: `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op)
- Windows: permission rules with drive-letter paths are now correctly root-anchored, and paths differing only by drive-letter case are recognized as the same path
