Download Claude Code 2.1.116

- /resume on large sessions is significantly faster (up to 67% on 40MB+ sessions) and handles sessions with many dead-fork entries more efficiently
- Faster MCP startup when multiple stdio servers are configured; resources/templates/list is now deferred to first @-mention
- Smoother fullscreen scrolling in VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf terminals — /terminal-setup now configures the editor's scroll sensitivity
- Thinking spinner now shows progress inline ("still thinking", "thinking more", "almost done thinking"), replacing the separate hint row
- /config search now matches option values (e.g. searching "vim" finds the Editor mode setting)
- /doctor can now be opened while Claude is responding, without waiting for the current turn to finish
- /reload-plugins and background plugin auto-update now auto-install missing plugin dependencies from marketplaces you've already added
- Bash tool now surfaces a hint when gh commands hit GitHub's API rate limit, so agents can back off instead of retrying
- The Usage tab in Settings now shows your 5-hour and weekly usage immediately and no longer fails when the usage endpoint is rate-limited
- Agent frontmatter hooks: now fire when running as a main-thread agent via --agent
- Slash command menu now shows "No commands match" when your filter has zero results, instead of disappearing
- Security: sandbox auto-allow no longer bypasses the dangerous-path safety check for rm/rmdir targeting /, $HOME, or other critical system directories
- Fixed Devanagari and other Indic scripts rendering with broken column alignment in the terminal UI
- Fixed Ctrl+- not triggering undo in terminals using the Kitty keyboard protocol (iTerm2, Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, Windows Terminal)
- Fixed Cmd+Left/Right not jumping to line start/end in terminals that use the Kitty keyboard protocol (Warp fullscreen, kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm)
- Fixed Ctrl+Z hanging the terminal when Claude Code is launched via a wrapper process (e.g. npx, bun run)
- Fixed scrollback duplication in inline mode where resizing the terminal or large output bursts would repeat earlier conversation history
- Fixed modal search dialogs overflowing the screen at short terminal heights, hiding the search box and keyboard hints
- Fixed scattered blank cells and disappearing composer chrome in the VS Code integrated terminal during scrolling
- Fixed an intermittent API 400 error related to cache control TTL ordering that could occur when a parallel request completed during request setup
- Fixed /branch rejecting conversations with transcripts larger than 50MB
- Fixed /resume silently showing an empty conversation on large session files instead of reporting the load error
- Fixed /plugin Installed tab showing the same item twice when it appears under Needs attention or Favorites
- Fixed /update and /tui not working after entering a worktree mid-session
