#1 GOLDReleaseClaude Code Releases
v2.1.85
- Hooks just got a lot smarter: you can now add an `if` field using permission rule syntax (e.g., `Bash(git *)`) so hooks only fire on the tool calls you actually care about — no more spawning a process for every single command
- PreToolUse hooks can now answer an `AskUserQuestion` by returning `updatedInput` alongside `permissionDecision: "allow"` — this is the missing piece for headless CI integrations that need to inject answers without a human at the keyboard
- The `/compact` command no longer crashes when the conversation is so large that the compact request itself exceeds the context limit — it quietly handles the overflow
- Timestamp markers now appear in transcripts whenever `/loop` or `CronCreate` tasks fire — finally you can see exactly when a scheduled task ran in a long session
- Deep link queries (`claude-cli://open?q=…`) now support up to 5,000 characters, with a scroll-to-review warning for anything long
- Plugins blocked by organization policy are now hidden from the marketplace entirely, not just disabled
- Fixed `deniedMcpServers` not actually blocking claude.ai MCP servers — the setting now works as documented
- Fixed `switch_display` returning "not available in this session" on multi-monitor setups in computer-use
- Fixed a memory leak in remote sessions when a streaming response is interrupted
- Fixed ECONNRESET errors during edge connection churn by using a fresh TCP connection on retry
#2 SILVERAnnouncementFortune
Exclusive: Anthropic acknowledges testing new AI model representing 'step change' in capabilities, after accidental data leak reveals its existence
- Anthropic accidentally leaked the existence of a new model called "Mythos" through a data leak before any official announcement
- After the leak, Anthropic confirmed they are actively testing Mythos and described it as a "step change" in capabilities — not an incremental update
- No public release date or pricing yet — this is purely a confirmation that it exists and is in testing
#3 BRONZEReleaseGitHub anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-typescript
[Release] anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-typescript: v0.2.85
- New `reloadPlugins()` method lets SDK-based integrations hot-reload plugins and get back refreshed commands, agents, and MCP server status without restarting
- Fixed a bug where PreToolUse hooks returning `permissionDecision: "ask"` were silently ignored in SDK mode — they now correctly prompt as expected
