## 2.1.153
- Added `skipLfs` option to `github`/`git` plugin marketplace sources to skip Git LFS downloads during clone and update
- Claude Code now shows a one-time notice when your npm global install can't auto-update; `/doctor` lists the fixes
- Status line commands now receive `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables so scripts can size output to the terminal width
- `claude agents`: autocomplete in the dispatch input now suggests native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
- `claude agents`: PR column now shows `PR #N` for a single PR or `N PRs` for multiple
- `claude doctor` now shows the result of your last update attempt
- Combined the separate "needs authentication" startup notifications for MCP servers and connectors into a single message
- macOS: background agents now appear as "Claude Code" in Privacy & Security and keep their permission grants across upgrades
- Fixed stateful MCP servers without the optional GET SSE stream reconnect-looping on `tools/list` (regression in v2.1.147)
- Fixed a regression where a custom API gateway could receive the user's Anthropic OAuth credential instead of the gateway's own token
- Fixed subagent (Agent tool) frontmatter MCP servers ignoring `--strict-mcp-config`, `--bare`, remote mode, enterprise managed MCP config, and managed-settings MCP server allow/deny policies
- `--strict-mcp-config` no longer strips inline `mcpServers` from explicitly-passed agent definitions (`--agents` / SDK `agents`), and blocked subagent MCP servers now surface a visible warning
- Fixed the Windows PowerShell installer reporting "Installation complete!" when installation actually failed
- Fixed `claude update` installing the latest version instead of the configured release channel's version for npm installations
- Fixed excessive memory usage (multiple GB) when resuming a session by transcript file path on machines with many stored sessions
- Fixed `claude agents` and `claude --bg` running on a stale daemon started before binary-takeover support, even after upgrading
- Fixed a hang where the CLI could fail to exit when stdin was closed without EOF in stream-json mode, leaving a stale session marker behind
- Fixed malformed `file://` links in Claude's responses not being clickable in the terminal
- Fixed `claude --help` rendering unwrapped output on terminals narrower than 92 columns
- Fixed MCP tool progress notifications not rendering in the collapsed tool view
- Fixed `Agent` tool with `subagent_type: 'claude'` running in an undocumented temporary worktree, which could silently discard outputs written to gitignored paths
- `/bg` while Claude is responding now continues the response in the background session instead of dropping it
- Fixed `/btw` keyboard shortcuts becoming unresponsive in background sessions while a task is running
- Fixed background sessions writing temp files to `$CLAUDE_JOB_DIR` triggering a "sensitive file" permission prompt
- Fixed recovering a background agent whose working directory was deleted showing a truncated stack trace instead of a clear error message
- Fixed `EnterWorktree` not being available immediately in background sessions (previously required `ToolSearch` first)
- Fixed `cmd+k` in iTerm2/Terminal.app not repainting attached background sessions
- Fixed the IME candidate window appearing at the bottom of the screen instead of next to the input caret in attached background sessions on Windows
- Fixed background-color bleed when attaching to a background agent from 256-color-only terminals after the agent had rendered file diffs
- Fixed `/copy` and copy-on-select silently failing to update the system clipboard when attached to a background session inside tmux
- Fixed opening `claude agents` with Remote Control enabled leaving zombie session entries on the Code tab after exiting
- Fixed `/rename` in background sessions not updating the session banner immediately
- Fixed Windows update rollback: if a Windows update fails, Claude Code now restores the original executable by copy and tells you how to recover
- [VSCode] Fixed Claude Code processes not shutting down cleanly when VS Code closed on Windows, causing false "unclean exit" reports and orphaned MCP servers
- `/model` now saves your selection as the default for new sessions (matching the IDE). Press `s` in the picker to switch models for the current session only.
- If you customized the `modelPicker:setAsDefault` keybinding, rename it to `modelPicker:thisSessionOnly` in keybindings.json (the `d` action was replaced by `s`)
