Week 18 · April 27 – May 1, 2026

Claude Code on Windows runs without Git Bash, claude auth login accepts a pasted OAuth code when the browser callback can't reach localhost, claude project purge cleans up local state per project, and pasting a PR URL into /resume finds the session that created it.

Releases v2.1.120 → v2.1.126 4 features · April 27 – May 1
Sign in without a browser callback v2.1.126

claude auth login now accepts the OAuth code pasted directly into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost. That covers WSL2, SSH sessions, and containers, where the redirect to a local port doesn't work. The same release also fixes login timeouts on slow or proxied connections and in IPv6-only devcontainers.

Sign in, then paste the code from the browser:

claude auth login

claude project purge v2.1.124

Delete all Claude Code state for a project: transcripts, tasks, file history, and the project's config entry. Supports `--dry-run` to preview, `-y`/`--yes` to skip confirmation, `-i`/`--interactive` to choose, and `--all` to clear every project.

Preview what would be removed:

claude project purge --dry-run

Then run it for real:

claude project purge

Resume by PR URL v2.1.122

When you create a pull request with gh pr create, Claude Code links it to the session that produced it. Now you can get back to that session from the PR URL alone, without remembering its name.

Open the session picker:

> /resume

Paste the PR URL into the picker. The first character of the paste drops you into search mode, and the list filters to the session that created that PR. Press Enter to resume it. GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, and Bitbucket pull and merge request URLs all work.

https://github.com/your-org/your-repo/pull/1234

To skip the picker, pass the PR number on the command line instead:

claude --from-pr 1234

Windows without Git Bash Windows

Git for Windows is no longer required. When Bash is absent, Claude Code uses PowerShell as the shell tool, and when the PowerShell tool is enabled it is treated as the primary shell. PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or a .NET global tool is now detected automatically.

Other wins

MCP servers can opt out of tool-search deferral with alwaysLoad: true in their config so all of that server's tools are always available
New claude plugin prune removes orphaned auto-installed plugin dependencies, and plugin uninstall --prune cascades
/skills now has a type-to-filter search box so you can find a skill in a long list without scrolling
PostToolUse hooks can replace tool output for any tool via hookSpecificOutput.updatedToolOutput, not only MCP tools
New claude ultrareview subcommand runs /ultrareview non-interactively from CI or scripts: prints findings to stdout (--json for raw output) and exits 0 on completion or 1 on failure
--dangerously-skip-permissions now bypasses prompts for writes to .claude/, .git/, .vscode/, shell config files, and other previously protected paths, while catastrophic removal commands still prompt as a safety net
The /model picker can list models from your gateway's /v1/models endpoint when ANTHROPIC\_BASE\_URL points at an Anthropic-compatible gateway; opt in with CLAUDE\_CODE\_ENABLE\_GATEWAY\_MODEL\_DISCOVERY=1 since v2.1.129
MCP servers that hit a transient error during startup now auto-retry up to 3 times instead of staying disconnected
ANTHROPIC\_BEDROCK\_SERVICE\_TIER selects a Bedrock service tier: default, flex, or priority
/terminal-setup enables iTerm2's clipboard access setting so /copy works, including from tmux
Vertex AI now supports X.509 certificate-based Workload Identity Federation (mTLS ADC)
Significant memory leak fixes: image-heavy sessions, /usage on large transcript histories, and long-running tools without progress events
