11<Update label="1.7196.0" description="May 12, 2026">
12 * Fixed auto-update hanging indefinitely on Relaunch to Update when popout windows refused to close.
13 * Fixed local sessions failing to start after a corrupted bundled Claude Code binary was cached.
14 * Fixed the credential helper opening duplicate browser sign-in tabs when starting a new conversation.
15 * Fixed Code tab PR status icons showing the wrong state for merged, merge-queued, and draft pull requests.
16 * Fixed Quick Entry dropping characters entered with a Korean, Japanese, or Chinese input method.
17 * Added an "Also delete files on disk" option to the scheduled task delete dialog; checking it removes the task's `SKILL.md` file and associated data from `~/.claude/scheduled-tasks/`.
18 * Added support for mouse back and forward buttons for navigating the chat view.
19
20 **3P managed deployments**
21
22 * Added an organization banner across the top of the app window, configured by IT administrators.
23</Update>
24
25<Update label="1.6889.0" description="May 8, 2026">
26 * Added MCP App widget rendering in Code tab sessions.
27 * Added an OS notification when a Code session finishes a task and you aren't currently viewing it.
28 * Added automatic detection and re-download of corrupted Claude Code CLI binaries on macOS.
29 * Added support for scheduled tasks to modify their own schedule or prompt during a run using the `update_scheduled_task` MCP tool.
30 * Updated the list of available MCP tools to reload automatically when the local MCP configuration changes.
31 * Updated PR auto-fix to post a reply on each review thread it addresses and mark the thread resolved.
32 * Improved SSH session startup speed by preconnecting saved SSH configurations at app launch.
33 * Fixed pasting a code block into a busy terminal; the app now opens a new terminal tab when the existing one has a process running.
34 * Fixed PR bar issues in Code sessions: each row now shows its own diff, and the sidebar status icon updates when a PR is merged.
35 * Fixed garbled scrollback, such as stray `%` marks and half-wrapped prompts, when opening the terminal pane after running a code block.
36 * Fixed Code session links opening with overlapping window controls when reached via Handoff or share links.
37 * Fixed git commit signing failing in local sessions when the signing key is held by 1Password or Secretive.
38 * Fixed locally installed plugins disappearing from sessions after the plugin registry file became corrupted by concurrent writes.
39 * Fixed scheduled tasks running with auto-approve echoing tool-use suggestions into the session.
40 * Fixed SSH plugin sync so a single problematic plugin no longer blocks sync for the rest.
41
42 **3P managed deployments**
43
44 * Added support for stdio-transport local MCP servers via the `managedMcpServers` managed-settings key; the connector detail panel now shows the command and arguments, and environment variable values are masked outside the admin Setup screen.
45 * Added a managed-settings option to disable `claude://` deep-link handling.
46 * Added support for customizing model display names in the model picker via `labelOverride`.
47 * Fixed per-tool MCP server policies set by administrators not being enforced in all session types.
48</Update>
49
50<Update label="1.6608.0" description="May 7, 2026">
51 * Fixed scheduled tasks failing to run when a previous run was stuck waiting on a permission prompt.
52 * Fixed scheduled tasks repeatedly retrying a failed run instead of waiting for the next scheduled time.
53 * Fixed scheduled-task history incorrectly showing "computer asleep" for runs skipped due to a concurrency limit.
54 * Added per-plugin auto-install for organization-provisioned plugins via the plugin manifest.
55 * Added Unarchive to the Code session context menu; sending a message in an archived session now restores it automatically.
56 * Added a warning when archiving a Code session that has uncommitted changes in its worktree.
57 * Added a warning when quitting or restarting the app while local Code sessions are running.
58 * Added csh and tcsh login shell support when connecting to remote SSH hosts.
59 * Fixed folder permission rules failing to match when the connected folder is a drive root.
60 * Fixed Windows installs leaving an empty folder under `%LOCALAPPDATA%`.
61</Update>
62
63<Update label="1.6259.0" description="May 5, 2026">
64 * Code sessions now default the working directory to the home folder when none is configured.
65 * `settings.json` project settings now cascade from the SSH host for SSH Code sessions.
66 * "Always allow" tool permissions now persist across app restarts and display their scope.
67 * Added automatic detection and re-download of corrupted Claude Code CLI binaries on Windows.
68 * The PR bar now shows stacked and sibling pull requests alongside the branch's own PR.
69 * Messages sent while a turn is running are now queued rather than dropped.
70 * Opening a Code session link on iOS now continues the session on macOS via Handoff.
71</Update>
72
73<Update label="1.5354.0" description="April 29, 2026">
74 * Disabling the org Skills toggle in the admin console now removes the skill management tools `list_skills`, `save_skill`, and `propose_skills` from Code sessions.
75 * The preview pane now opens automatically when a session's working directory is a symlink.
76 * Improved login-shell PATH extraction for more reliable tool discovery.
77</Update>
78
79<Update label="1.5220.0" description="April 28, 2026">
80 * Added a multi-tab terminal pane; click **+** in the terminal pane header to open a second tab, or right-click a folder in the chat to choose **Open in terminal**.
81 * Fixed worktree pool re-lease creating a fresh worktree on checkout failure instead of re-using an existing one.
82 * Fixed rewind selecting the wrong assistant message after a previous rewind created a fork.
83</Update>
84
85<Update label="1.5186.0" description="April 28, 2026">
86 * Added `list_sessions`, `search_session_transcripts`, and `archive_session` MCP tools for managing Code sessions from within a session.
87 * Improved SSH wake-path reliability and surfaced `ProxyCommand` stderr output for easier debugging.
88 * Fixed login-shell PATH extraction for fish shell users. It was returning a newline-separated list instead of a colon-separated one.
89 * Fixed the SSH remote control socket directory permissions so `~/.claude/remote` is no longer world-traversable.
90 * PR review bodies and issue comments are now forwarded to the auto-fix engine.
91 * Added a category-driven error UI for Code sessions that groups failures by type and surfaces actionable recovery steps.
