Claude Code v2.1.286 patches security and session stability
Anthropic quietly fixed a critical credential leakage bug where MCP error messages were exposing raw API keys in plaintext logs. Beyond the security patch, this release stabilizes the notoriously fragile background agent system by fixing subagent hand-offs and connection stalls that previously caused silent failures. The update also tightens session management for cloud environments, ensuring large transcripts actually load instead of hanging indefinitely. It’s a maintenance-heavy release, but essential for anyone running complex, multi-step automated workflows.

Claude Code v2.1.287 adds plugins and fixes
This update shifts Claude Code from a simple CLI wrapper to a more extensible platform by introducing 'Claude Mods,' allowing plugins to modify deeper behavior rather than just adding tools. The inclusion of a built-in 'You should know' side agent that flags potential oversights is a notable step toward autonomous oversight within the coding workflow. Beyond features, the release addresses critical stability issues in remote sessions and significantly improves accessibility for screen reader users, making the tool more robust for enterprise and diverse developer environments.
