This release stabilizes Claude Code by fixing a cascade of session-breaking errors that previously caused silent data loss or API drops. The most significant fix addresses resumed conversations re-sending messages in altered forms, which was corrupting reasoning traces and breaking extended thinking workflows. It also resolves persistent login refresh loops and managed setting parsing failures that plagued enterprise deployments. While the changelog is dense with UI tweaks like scrollbar fixes and vim mode corrections, the core value lies in restoring reliability for long-running agent sessions.
This release quietly solves a major pain point for enterprise AI workflows by adding gateway hint headers, allowing LLM gateways to correctly group requests per user prompt instead of treating them as isolated events. The new managed settings for availableModelsMatch and deniedModels give organizations precise control over model access, blocking specific versions even when broader allowances exist. Beyond governance, the update stabilizes the plugin ecosystem with rigorous validation checks that prevent silent failures from broken or misconfigured extensions. These changes shift Claude Code from a developer tool to a manageable enterprise component.
