Upstream: Claude Code v2.1.314 Assessment

This is a release-triage checklist, not a single change. Start with the five actionable hook items and check whether sequant's hook scripts depend on the changed behavior, beginning with templates/hooks/pre-tool.sh, plugin/hooks/hooks.json and templates/settings.json. Done means each actionable item has a recorded decision on whether sequant is affected, and any needed follow-up is split into its own issue.

No Action Required

67 changes did not require action:

• Added an optional groups list to Claude apps gateway upstreams: only developers in the listed IdP groups are sent to that upstream, on failover too
• Added guardrail_trace to Claude apps gateway Bedrock upstreams, to log which Amazon Bedrock guardrail filter fired on a request, without the matched text
• Added idle compaction to VS Code and Claude Desktop's Code tab: a 200K+ token conversation left idle is summarized, and the summary is used on your next message if the prompt cache has expired
• Fixed sessions failing turn after turn with "Invalid effort level" when an organization's admin caps a model's effort: Claude Code now lowers the effort, retries, and says which level it uses
• Fixed claude -p exiting with code 0 and no output when startup failed; it now prints the error and exits 1
• Fixed Bedrock sessions with many images failing every turn and /compact with "400 Input is too long." instead of removing older images and compacting
• Fixed Microsoft Foundry sessions failing when the resource has no deployment for the default Sonnet, Opus or Haiku model: Claude Code now falls back to an older model of that family
• Fixed TLS connections failing with UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT when the system certificate store holds a renewed root certificate that is cross-signed with its predecessor
• Fixed extra sign-in renewals when several sessions share an Anthropic profile login and the credentials lock is busy
• Fixed claude ultrareview and claude remote-control asking the workspace trust question in a CI job that has a terminal; with CI set they now refuse an untrusted folder at once
• Fixed markdown tables jumping between grid and stacked layouts on half-typed rows while streaming, and long tables falling back to raw pipes
• Fixed the /resume picker showing the text of CLAUDE.md or CLAUDE.local.md as a session's title when the session only ran slash commands
• Fixed pasting an image over SSH to a Linux machine doing nothing silently; the prompt now says to copy the file over and paste its path
• Fixed claude remote-control sessions that failed to start when the session service was slow for a moment: the worker's registration is now retried with growing waits
• Fixed model switches over Remote Control that take over 8 seconds getting a "still pending" error instead of the final result
• Fixed the sandbox.excludedCommands setting description saying listed commands always run outside the sandbox; it now says every command in a call must match an entry
• Fixed sandbox protections not applying to a worktree entered by claude -p --resume or --continue
• Fixed auto mode reporting a call as blocked, and listing it in /permissions, when its safety check gave no verdict
• Fixed a Claude apps gateway Vertex upstream hanging for minutes when a Google token endpoint accepts the connection and never answers
• Fixed /upgrade opening the browser and starting a new login for plans billed through the App Store or Google Play; it now says where to change the plan
• Fixed --resume, and rewinding past a switch to another model after a refusal, moving a session on a model name Claude Code doesn't recognize to a different model
• Fixed requests failing when a gateway or cloud provider refuses one of Claude Code's beta headers by name: the request is sent again without it
• Fixed model IDs spelled with a dot behind an LLM gateway, such as claude-opus-4.8, being treated as an older model with the wrong context window, output limit, effort, thinking mode and cost
• Fixed Remote Control clients showing a stray "Compacted (ctrl+o to see full summary)" row after /compact
• Fixed the cloud sessions tip and the Remote Control idle notice showing when an organization's policy turns those features off
• Fixed a resumed claude.ai cloud session making a model call nobody asked for when the previous worker stopped just after receiving a new chat's files
• Fixed Claude being told only that a command was declined after you stopped it with Esc or Stop in a cloud session or the IDE; it now also hears that the command may have run
• Fixed blank lines at the top of a code block disappearing when the code block opens a quote
• Fixed a blank line appearing above some ⎿ rows in the transcript view (Ctrl+O)
• Fixed vim mode dw, dW, yw and yW carrying on past the end of the line, and made w and W stop on empty lines
• Fixed pasted text and dragged-in files being lost in Claude's question dialog unless the "Other" row had focus
• Fixed pasted text being lost when a row in the prompt footer was selected
• Fixed vim mode p over a character selection ignoring whether the yanked text was whole lines
• Fixed vim mode aw and iw taking the line break at the end of a line
• Fixed ↓ selecting footer items hidden by the ? help menu, the command list or a paste hint
• Fixed the fullscreen transcript being left mid-conversation after "Restore conversation" in the rewind menu while scrolled up
• Fixed a rare case where a deleted session could reappear in the resume list as an almost empty entry
• Fixed sessions staying untitled when the first prompt failed (for example on a usage limit) and the conversation continued afterward
• Fixed ~/.claude/skills/.trash and ~/.claude/plugins/.trash growing without limit: each now holds about 1024 entries, whatever cleanupPeriodDays says
• Self-hosted runner: Fixed an idle session moving to another runner instead of pausing when the runner's request to pause it lost its connection before Anthropic answered
• Improved prompt history: Ctrl+R now matches text inside collapsed [Pasted text] pills
• Improved the /design-sync upload prompt to show the folder, the project and the files it will upload or delete
• Improved /permissions review tab, now called Recently blocked: the footer says what Esc will do with marked rows
• Improved auto mode's blocked calls: messages name the command, say Claude may retry and auto mode checks again, and point to /permissions to review
• Improved the cloud session error shown while a request refused for your claude.ai login is still being retried: it now also suggests claude auth login
• Improved --resume speed and memory use on damaged transcripts
• Self-hosted runner: Improved the error shown when a session's branch isn't on the git remote: it now covers a never-pushed branch, says how to fix each case, and no longer suggests retrying
• Changed /ultrareview to check workspace trust before it runs git, as claude ultrareview does
• Changed flagged requests to retry on another model, not end in a refusal, when ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL, availableModels or deniedModels leaves only an older Opus model, or none
• Changed idle compaction to also run for subscribers with telemetry turned off, and on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and LLM gateways once the one-hour prompt cache is on
• Changed FORCE_HYPERLINK=false (also no and off) to turn hyperlinks off instead of on
• [VSCode] Fixed missing spinner and Stop button while a queued message's hooks run
• [VSCode] Fixed session group changes that cannot be saved, such as a delete, failing silently; an error notification now appears
• [VSCode] Fixed Cmd+F / Ctrl+F not opening the find widget in the plan preview tab
• [VSCode] Fixed the voice dictation shortcut (Ctrl+D) doing nothing under non-Latin keyboard layouts such as Russian, Greek or Hebrew
• [VSCode] Fixed missed one-time saved scheduled tasks being deleted without asking when the extension opened without a chat
• [VSCode] Changed CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CFC_PROMPT to also stop the extension adding the Claude in Chrome instructions to a session's messages; the browser tools stay available
• [Cloud sessions] Added an Include completed button to the Scheduled tasks page when finished one-off tasks are the only ones hidden, so you can show them without opening the Sort menu
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed recently used self-hosted environments never appearing among the recent environments on the new session card
• [Cloud sessions] Fixed cloud sessions reporting uncommitted changes every turn after Claude moved a branch to a commit it had pushed from another worktree
• [Cloud sessions] Improved scheduled tasks: runs in Anthropic's cloud now load the plugins enabled on your claude.ai account
• [Cloud sessions] Improved cloud session transcripts: a rename row now names the new title, and repository and environment lists show as a table instead of one line of JSON
• [Cloud sessions] Changed cloud sessions from the web, desktop and mobile apps to start even when a setup script exits with an error, instead of failing to start
• [Claude Tag] Fixed @Claude !restart giving up after one failed workspace check in channels shared across Enterprise Grid workspaces; it now retries, then asks you to run it again
• [Claude Tag] Fixed a second confirmation DM and channel note when you connect your Claude account from Slack twice from the same link within a few minutes
• [Claude Tag] Fixed follow-up messages in Slack showing no sign of progress while Claude's session waits for a self-hosted runner; Claude now posts a wait notice in the thread
• [Claude Tag] Fixed Claude sometimes not answering a tag in its own thread in Slack Connect channels where both organizations have installed Claude
