## What's changed
- Bare `/color` (no args) now picks a random session color
- `/mcp` now shows the tool count for connected servers and flags servers that connected with 0 tools
- `--plugin-dir` now accepts `.zip` plugin archives in addition to directories
- `--channels` now works with console (API key) authentication — console orgs with managed settings must set `channelsEnabled: true` to enable
- Updated `/model` picker: collapsed duplicate Opus 4.7 entries, and current Opus now shows as "Opus" instead of "Opus 4.7"
- Subprocesses (Bash, hooks, MCP, LSP) no longer inherit `OTEL_*` environment variables, so OTEL-instrumented apps run via the Bash tool no longer pick up the CLI's own OTLP endpoint
- MCP: `workspace` is now a reserved server name — existing servers with that name will be skipped with a warning
- Reconnecting MCP servers no longer flood the conversation with full tool-name lists on every reconnect — re-announced tools are summarized by server prefix
- SDK hosts now receive a persistent `localSettings` suggestion for Bash permission prompts, so "Always allow" writes to `.claude/settings.local.json`
- `EnterWorktree` now creates the new branch from local HEAD as documented, instead of `origin/<default-branch>` — unpushed commits are no longer dropped
- Auto mode: when the classifier can't evaluate an action, the error now includes a hint (retry, `/compact`, or run with `--debug`)
- Fixed focus mode briefly dimming the previous response when submitting a new prompt
- Fixed stray "4;0;" desktop notification on every `/exit` in Kitty and other terminals that interpret OSC 9 as a notification
- Fixed Remote Control showing an empty "Opening your options…" message on rate limit instead of actionable upsell options
- Fixed drag-and-drop image upload hanging on "Pasting text…" when the image read fails
- Fixed crash loop when piping very large input (>10 MB) to `claude -p` via stdin
- Fixed long URLs not being individually clickable on every wrapped row in fullscreen mode
- Fixed `/plugin` Components panel showing "Marketplace 'inline' not found" for plugins loaded via `--plugin-dir`
- Fixed MCP tool results dropping images when the server returns both structured content and content blocks
- Fixed fenced code blocks inside list items carrying leading whitespace into the clipboard on copy-paste
- Fixed tab navigation in `/config` stranding focus — the tab header now stays focused so arrows and Esc keep working
- Fixed markdown link labels being lost on terminals without OSC 8 hyperlink support — links now render as `label (url)` instead of just the URL
- Fixed sessions on 1M-context models with a smaller autocompact window being falsely blocked with "Prompt is too long" before reaching the actual API limit
- Fixed parallel shell tool calls: a failing read-only command (grep, git diff, ls) no longer cancels sibling calls
- Fixed banner showing "with X effort" on models that don't support effort
- Fixed `/fast` on 3P providers fuzzy-matching to an unrelated skill instead of showing "not available"
- Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to `global.*` instead of the region-appropriate prefix
- Fixed vim mode: `Space` in NORMAL mode now moves the cursor right, matching standard vi/vim behavior
- Fixed terminal progress indicator (OSC 9;4) flickering off between tool calls — stays visible across the full turn
- Fixed `/rename` without args failing on resumed sessions whose last entry is a compact boundary
- Fixed stale "remote-control is active" status lines from prior sessions appearing after `--resume`/`--continue`
- Fixed stale `installed_plugins.json` entries pointing at deleted cache directories polluting PATH
- Fixed MCP stdio servers receiving corrupted arguments when `CLAUDE_CODE_SHELL_PREFIX` is set and an argument contains spaces or shell metacharacters
- Fixed sub-agent progress summaries missing the prompt cache (~3× `cache_creation` reduction)
- Fixed `/plugin update` never detecting new versions of npm-sourced plugins
- Fixed sub-agent summaries firing repeatedly while a sub-agent's transcript is static, capping worst-case token cost on idle sub-agents
- Headless `--output-format stream-json`: `init.plugin_errors` now includes `--plugin-dir` load failures in addition to dependency demotions
