Claude Code 2.1.119

New primitives

Workflow recipes

Agentic relevance

The ten new primitives in 2.1.119 unlock better autonomous control and debugging: persistent `/config` settings eliminate CLI flag repetition in long workflows; `CLAUDE_CODE_HIDE_CWD` and custom `prUrlTemplate` support secure/branded multi-workspace setups; hook `duration_ms` enables performance profiling and decision-making in tool chains; extended `--from-pr` coverage eases enterprise SCM integration. Hook observability and parallel MCP reconfiguration improve reliability in complex agent pipelines.

Raw changelog

## 2.1.119

- `/config` settings (theme, editor mode, verbose, etc.) now persist to `~/.claude/settings.json` and participate in project/local/policy override precedence
- Added `prUrlTemplate` setting to point the footer PR badge at a custom code-review URL instead of github.com
- Added `CLAUDE_CODE_HIDE_CWD` environment variable to hide the working directory in the startup logo
- `--from-pr` now accepts GitLab merge-request, Bitbucket pull-request, and GitHub Enterprise PR URLs
- `--print` mode now honors the agent's `tools:` and `disallowedTools:` frontmatter, matching interactive-mode behavior
- `--agent <name>` now honors the agent definition's `permissionMode` for built-in agents
- PowerShell tool commands can now be auto-approved in permission mode, matching Bash behavior
- Hooks: `PostToolUse` and `PostToolUseFailure` hook inputs now include `duration_ms` (tool execution time, excluding permission prompts and PreToolUse hooks)
- Subagent and SDK MCP server reconfiguration now connects servers in parallel instead of serially
