•Added support for startupTimeout configuration for LSP servers
•Added WorktreeCreate and WorktreeRemove hook events, enabling custom VCS setup and teardown when agent worktree isolation creates or removes worktrees.
•Added support for isolation: worktree in agent definitions, allowing agents to declaratively run in isolated git worktrees.
•Added claude agents CLI command to list all configured agents
•Added CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT environment variable to disable 1M context window support

Improved3 changes

•Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing internal caches after compaction
•Improved memory usage during long sessions by clearing large tool results after they have been processed
•Improved startup performance for headless mode (-p flag) by deferring Yoga WASM and UI component imports

Fixed13 changes

•Fixed a bug where resumed sessions could be invisible when the working directory involved symlinks, because the session storage path was resolved at different times during startup. Also fixed session data loss on SSH disconnect by flushing session data before hooks and analytics in the graceful shutdown sequence.
•Fixed memory leak in agent teams where completed teammate tasks were never garbage collected from session state
•Fixed CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE to fully strip down skills, session memory, custom agents, and CLAUDE.md token counting
•Fixed /mcp reconnect freezing the CLI when given a server name that doesn't exist
•Fixed memory leak where completed task state objects were never removed from AppState
•Fixed bug where MCP tools were not discovered when tool search is enabled and a prompt is passed in as a launch argument
•Fixed a memory leak where LSP diagnostic data was never cleaned up after delivery, causing unbounded memory growth in long sessions
•Fixed a memory leak where completed task output was not freed from memory, reducing memory usage in long sessions with many tasks
•Fixed prompt suggestion cache regression that reduced cache hit rates
•Fixed unbounded memory growth in long sessions by capping file history snapshots
•Fixed memory leak where TaskOutput retained recent lines after cleanup
•Fixed memory leak in CircularBuffer where cleared items were retained in the backing array
•Fixed memory leak in shell command execution where ChildProcess and AbortController references were retained after cleanup

Other4 changes

•Linux: Fixed native modules not loading on systems with glibc older than 2.30 (e.g., RHEL 8)
•CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE mode now also disables MCP tools, attachments, hooks, and CLAUDE.md file loading for a fully minimal experience.
•Opus 4.6 (fast mode) now includes the full 1M context window
•VSCode: Added /extra-usage command support in VS Code sessions
