#1 GOLDAnnouncementReddit r/ClaudeAI (ClaudeOfficial)
Introducing Claude Managed Agents, now in public beta
- Anthropic just launched Managed Agents: you define what your agent does, and Anthropic runs it on their infrastructure — no devops, no agent loop babysitting
- Before this, shipping a production agent meant months of work on infrastructure, state management, and permissioning — now it's supposed to be days
- All five major Anthropic SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, C#) shipped same-day support for the Managed Agents API, so you can start coding against it right now
- Notion, Sentry, Rakuten, Asana, and Vibecode are early customers — Notion is running dozens of tasks in parallel directly inside its workspace
- Multi-agent coordination is in research preview (request access); full blog at claude.com/blog/claude-managed-agents
#2 SILVERReleaseClaude Code Releases
Claude Code v2.1.97 — focus view, permission hardening, MCP memory leak fix, 20+ fixes
- New `Ctrl+O` focus view in NO_FLICKER mode: shows just your prompt, a one-line tool summary with diff stats, and the final response — great for staying focused
- MCP HTTP/SSE connections were leaking ~50 MB/hour of memory when servers reconnect — now fixed
- `--dangerously-skip-permissions` was silently being downgraded when you approved a write to a protected path — fixed
- `settings.json` was being silently ignored if you had a permission rule named `toString` or another JS prototype property — fixed
- `/resume` gets a pile of fixes: `--resume <name>` is now editable, diffs survive resume on large files, messages typed while Claude works are now persisted
#3 BRONZEReleaseGitHub anthropics/claude-code-action
Claude Code GitHub Action v1.0 — Generally Available, simplified API, breaking changes
- The Claude Code GitHub Action is now v1.0 GA — if you're still on v0.x, you need to migrate
- Old: `mode`, `direct_prompt`, `override_prompt`, `custom_instructions`, `model`, `allowed_tools` inputs. New: one `prompt` input and `claude_args` for everything else
- Auto mode detection: no more manually setting `mode` — the action figures out interactive vs automation on its own
- New example workflows published: automated PR reviews, CI failure fixes, issue triage, doc generation, security scanning
