## What's changed
- Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings
- Fixed the terminal freezing and keystrokes lagging while streaming responses containing very long lists, tables, paragraphs, or code blocks
- Fixed remote managed settings from a non-interactive run (`claude -p`, the SDK) being permanently recorded as consented without ever showing the security consent dialog
- Fixed spurious prompt-injection warnings triggered by benign system-generated conversation updates
- Fixed the auto-updater overwriting a custom launcher script or symlink at `~/.local/bin/claude` on every release; `/doctor` now reports an externally managed launcher
- Fixed compound commands with `cd` prompting for permission when the only output redirect was to `/dev/null`
- Fixed the transcript jumping above the start of the answer when a response finishes streaming
- Fixed `extensions.worktreeConfig` being left in the repo's `.git/config` (breaking go-git tools like `tea`) after the last `worktree.sparsePaths` worktree was removed
- Fixed malformed bracket patterns in rules globs, skill paths, `.ignore`, and `.worktreeinclude` breaking file reads, file suggestions, and worktree creation
- Fixed a crash loop in agent teams where a malformed teammate mailbox message caused repeated errors every second until the mailbox file was manually deleted
- Fixed background sessions auto-named by accepting a plan not showing that name on their agent-view row
- Fixed background sessions that entered a git worktree resuming blank after a cold reopen from the agent list
- Fixed Remote Control task status updates being lost when the connection recovered from a network interruption or credential refresh
- Fixed Remote Control sessions hosted by the desktop app not showing background agent and workflow progress on mobile and web
- Fixed Deep research runs labeling every Fetch-phase agent "unknown" — chips now show the source hostname
- Fixed Bedrock repeatedly requesting fresh AWS SSO credentials from IAM Identity Center on every API request
- Improved agent view: pasting the same text again now expands the collapsed `[Pasted text #N]` placeholder instead of adding a second one
- Improved agent view: blocked session peeks now lead with the question and show a worded staleness clock (`waiting 3m`) instead of the same timestamp twice
- Changed Bedrock, Vertex, and Claude Platform on AWS to default to Claude Opus 4.8
- Changed auto mode to no longer read `autoMode` from `.claude/settings.local.json` (repo-resident); use `~/.claude/settings.json` instead
- Fixed an indefinite hang on Windows when AWS credential resolution stalls (e.g. a stuck `credential_process`): the 60-second stall guard now fires instead of waiting forever.
- Plugin hooks/monitors/MCP headersHelper: `${user_config.*}` in shell-form commands is now rejected (shell-injection fix). Hooks: use exec form (`args` array) or `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY>`; monitors and headersHelper: read the value inside the script (config file or the server's `env` block).
- Plugin option values (`pluginConfigs`) are no longer read from project-level `.claude/settings.json`; only user, `--settings`, and managed settings are honored
- Fixed `/usage-credits` amount inputs silently stripping malformed values (e.g. a pasted timestamp) to digits; malformed amounts are now rejected with an error, and amounts over $1,000 require a typed confirmation
