#1 GOLDReleaseClaude Code Releases

v2.1.122

New `ANTHROPIC_BEDROCK_SERVICE_TIER` env var lets you pick `default`, `flex`, or `priority` service tier on AWS Bedrock — sent as the `X-Amzn-Bedrock-Service-Tier` header, useful for teams managing cost vs. latency tradeoffs on Bedrock
Paste any PR URL directly into the `/resume` search box and Claude Code will find the session that created it — works across GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, and Bitbucket
`/mcp` now shows claude.ai connectors that were silently hidden by a manually-added server with the same URL, with a hint to remove the duplicate (finally explains that mystery disappearing connector)
OpenTelemetry gets two improvements: numeric attributes on `api_request`/`api_error` events now emit as actual numbers instead of strings, and a new `claude_code.at_mention` event tracks `@`-mention resolution
A malformed `hooks` entry in `settings.json` no longer invalidates the whole file — bad entries are now skipped gracefully instead of breaking all hooks
Image resize bug fixed: newer models were being sent 2576px images instead of the correct 2000px maximum, which could affect vision quality and token cost

#2 SILVERReleaseGitHub anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-python

New fields in `SandboxNetworkConfig`: `allowedDomains`, `deniedDomains`, `allowManagedDomainsOnly`, and `allowMachLookup` — brings Python SDK to full parity with the TypeScript schema
If your agents need tight network sandboxing (allow only specific domains, block everything else), this is now expressible with proper type hints in Python
Install: `pip install claude-agent-sdk==0.1.71`

#3 BRONZEGuideReddit r/ClaudeAI

Side-by-side comparison of 11 Claude Code workflow systems (OpenSpec, BMAD, and 9 others) mapped to their canonical step-by-step pipelines
Yellow tags = sub-loops (tasks that repeat until verified), blue = top-level steps — pipeline *length* turns out to be a personality trait: OpenSpec ships in 3 steps, BMAD runs 12
