Windows path support for marketplace sources #
What
On Windows, you can now use native Windows-style paths (backslash separators and drive letters) when adding a marketplace source via the interactive UI or CLI.
Usage
# These now work on Windows (in addition to Unix-style paths):
claude marketplace add .\my-skills
claude marketplace add ..\shared-skills
claude marketplace add C:\Users\me\skills
Details
- Adds recognition of
.\, ..\, and drive-letter paths (e.g., C:\) when process.platform is "win32" - Unix-style paths (
./, ../, /, ~) continue to work on all platforms - The resolved path must point to a directory or a
.json file (e.g., marketplace.json)

Optimized bridge polling for remote sessions #
What
The polling interval for the bridge connection (used in remote/cloud sessions) is now dynamically configurable from the server rather than being hardcoded.
Details
- Poll interval is now controlled by the
tengu_bridge_poll_interval_ms feature flag, with a default of 1000ms and a floor of 100ms - The flag value is cached and refreshed every 5 minutes (300,000ms TTL)
- The
block_ms parameter was removed from work-poll requests, simplifying the client-server protocol - These changes allow Anthropic to tune remote session responsiveness server-side without requiring client updates
