The Advisor Strategy: pair Opus as a mid-task advisor with Sonnet or Haiku as executor — now in beta
- New Claude Platform API feature in beta: designate Opus as an 'advisor' that your Sonnet or Haiku agent consults when it hits a hard mid-task decision — Opus returns a plan, the executor keeps running, all inside one API request
- Anthropic's evals: Sonnet + Opus advisor beats plain Sonnet by 2.7 percentage points on SWE-bench Multilingual while costing 11.9% less per task — near-Opus quality at near-Sonnet prices
- SDK support shipped simultaneously across all five languages: Python v0.93.0, TypeScript v0.87.0, Go v1.34.0, Java v2.24.0, C# v12.14.0 — the 'beta advisor tool' feature is in each one

#2 SILVERReleaseClaude Code Releases
Claude Code v2.1.98 — three Bash permission security fixes + Vertex AI setup wizard, Monitor tool, subprocess sandboxing
- Security fix: a backslash-escaped flag in a Bash command could be auto-allowed as read-only and escalate to arbitrary code execution — patched
- Security fix: compound Bash commands (e.g. `cmd1 && cmd2`) were bypassing forced permission prompts in auto and bypass-permissions modes — patched
- Security fix: redirects to `/dev/tcp/...` or `/dev/udp/...` were silently auto-allowed instead of prompting — patched
- New: interactive Google Vertex AI setup wizard on the login screen — guides you through GCP auth, project/region config, credential check, and model pinning with no manual config files
- New: `CLAUDE_CODE_PERFORCE_MODE` — Edit/Write/Notebook ops fail fast on read-only Perforce files with a `p4 edit` hint instead of silently overwriting
- New: Monitor tool for streaming events from long-running background scripts
