Version 2.1.19

Pro users on remote sessions can now sync their Claude Code settings (CLAUDE.md, settings.json) from the cloud.

• Syncs user settings (~/.claude/settings.json), user memory (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md), project settings, and project memory
• Automatically downloads settings at session start when using remote mode
• Includes size limit protection (512KB max per file) to prevent syncing oversized configurations
• Settings are fetched from /api/claude_code/user_settings endpoint

New keyboard shortcuts for common git operations, bindable in the Chat context.

Usage: Add to keybindings.json:

{
  "context": "Chat",
  "bindings": {
    "ctrl+k ctrl+c": "command:commit",
    "ctrl+k ctrl+d": "command:diff",
    "ctrl+k ctrl+r": "command:rebase-push"
  }
}

• command:commit - Trigger the /commit command
• command:diff - Trigger the /diff command
• command:rebase-push - Trigger the /rebase-push command
• Commands are executed from keybindings without needing to type in the input

VHK at line 483273 (keybinding definitions, contains "command:commit")

New keybinding actions for managing plugins from the plugin browser.

Usage: While in the plugin browser:

• space - Toggle plugin on/off (plugin:toggle)
• i - Install selected plugin (plugin:install)

Line 178083 (bindings: { space: "plugin:toggle", i: "plugin:install" })

The agent can now generate brief summaries of tool execution batches for better context awareness.

• Uses a lightweight model to summarize what tools accomplished
• Summaries are under 8 words, using past tense (e.g., "Searched codebase for authentication code")
• Creates a new tool_use_summary message type in the conversation
• Helps maintain context without re-reading full tool outputs

The KillShell tool has been renamed to TaskStop with expanded capabilities:

• Now supports stopping any background task type, not just bash shells
• shell_id parameter is deprecated in favor of task_id
• KillShell remains as an alias for backwards compatibility
• Returns additional task_type field in the response

Kj1 at line 416670 ("TaskStop" with aliases: ["KillShell"])

New dedicated UI for when agents request tool permissions.

• Shows a clear "Agent tool permissions" dialog
• Displays the requesting tools and their purpose
• New "Allow for session" option grants permission for the entire session
• Options: Allow (once), Allow for session, Deny

QVK() at line 543289 (contains "Agent requests tool permissions", "Allow for session")

Enhanced ToolSearch tool documentation with clearer usage patterns.

• Clarifies that keyword search loads tools immediately (no need for follow-up select: calls)
• Adds new +keyword syntax for required matches (e.g., +slack send only returns slack tools)
• Includes anti-patterns showing what NOT to do
• Better explains that both query modes (keyword and select) load tools equally

V47 at line 268991 (contains "keyword search already loaded", "Required keyword")

Better error guidance when git clone fails with HTTPS authentication.

• Removed automatic token injection logic (previously tried injecting GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket tokens)
• Now provides clearer message: "Please ensure your credential helper is configured (e.g., gh auth login)"
• Simplifies troubleshooting by pointing users to standard git authentication setup

eM9() at line 211687 (contains "gh auth login")

The thinking indicator no longer shows a character count.

• Changed from "∴ Thinking (N)" to simply "∴ Thinking"
• Cleaner visual presentation during extended thinking

Line 384362 ("∴ Thinking" without parenthetical count)

Added support for global-scoped prompt caching.

• Prompt cache can now specify scope: "global" for cross-session caching
• Part of the ephemeral cache control structure
• Works with the existing 1-hour TTL experiment

iMA() at line 525119 (cache control with scope: A when A === "global")

Better handling of edge cases where API streaming fails to start.

• Detects when stream completes without receiving message_start event
• Automatically triggers non-streaming fallback
• Prevents hanging on incomplete stream connections

Line 525690 ("Stream completed without receiving message_start event - triggering non-streaming fallback")

Plugin browser now displays the token count for plugin descriptions.

Line 505857 (displays "description tokens")

The default model option label changed from "Sonnet (default)" to "Inherit (default)".

• Better reflects that subagents inherit the parent model by default
• More accurate terminology for model selection in agent configuration

Line 158543 ("Inherit (default)")

• Fixed session memory and transcript access telemetry tracking (ti2() at line 566939, tracks "tengu_session_memory_accessed")
• Improved keybinding context validation with clearer error messages for bindings in wrong contexts (contains "must be in \"Chat\" context")

• Deprecated claude-code-plugins marketplace in favor of claude-plugins-official with migration message
• Added telemetry for settings sync operations (download success/failure/empty states)
• Removed legacy async worker initialization code that checked for Node 10-11
• Keybindings schema URL updated to platform.claude.com/docs/schemas/claude-code/keybindings.json
• Keybindings documentation URL updated to code.claude.com/docs/en/keybindings
