GitHub Changeloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →Improves detection of security vulnerabilities in complex C++ libraries like Boost and Protocol Buffers.
- →Adds official support for Kotlin 2.4.20, reducing false positives in Android development workflows.
- →Enhances data flow models for Go standard library functions, tightening static analysis accuracy.
GitHub has released CodeQL version 2.27.1, an update to its static analysis engine used in GitHub Code Scanning. The release adds support for Kotlin 2.4.20 and introduces new C/C++ query models for Boost.Asio and Protocol Buffers. It also enhances data flow tracking for Go standard library APIs and improves route attribution for Fastify servers in JavaScript/TypeScript. Additionally, the update fixes false positives in Rust path resolution and refines C# LINQ suggestions to prevent invalid code generation.

GitHub Copilot adds in-product settings validator
GitHub Copilot now validates enterprise managed settings directly in the UI, catching malformed JSON and invalid team mappings before they break policy enforcement. This shifts validation from a silent failure mode to an explicit feedback loop, saving admins from debugging why their AI controls aren't applying. By pointing to specific files and JSON paths, it reduces the friction of managing .github-private repositories at scale. It’s a pragmatic fix for a common enterprise pain point rather than a new capability.

Claude Code v2.1.282 patches critical session and UX bugs
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.

Claude Code v2.1.283: Gateway hints and plugin fixes
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.
