Improved

  • Claude Code Mode now offers itself. It shipped quietly in 1.0.66 and most people never found it. Now, if UnionTerminal detects Claude Code on your machine, it offers to turn the feature on: new installs see it as a row during first-run setup, and if you're updating and already have Claude Code, you'll see a one-time card instead. Say no and it won't ask again. The required "not affiliated with Anthropic" line under the offer is also fully legible now in every theme — it was too faint to read comfortably before.
  • Windows trust, taken further. Building on 1.0.66's installer signing: the app executable and the terminal engine's bundled Windows binaries are now signed individually before they're packaged, not just the installer wrapper around them. Updates also no longer install themselves in the background — quitting UnionTerminal any way other than clicking "Restart to update" used to let a downloaded update install anyway; now that click is the only path that installs anything. And a freshly launched copy no longer checks for updates within the first few seconds of startup — a pattern security software watches for — the first check now waits 90 seconds instead of 3.

Fixed

  • Claude Code Mode no longer leaves processes behind. The status reporter that connects Claude Code to UnionTerminal could hang and pile up in the background — on heavily used machines, hundreds of them, eating memory. It now always finishes its work and exits, and the fix applies itself automatically the first time you launch this version.
  • Claude Code Mode is honest when it isn't actually connected. If it was already running in another copy of UnionTerminal, a second copy used to show the toggle as "on" while its connection to Claude Code was actually dead, with no explanation. Now you get a live warning, and the Settings toggle itself says so.
  • The "it's on" confirmation doesn't disappear before you see it. Turning on Claude Code Mode from the one-time offer card could show almost no confirmation — it closed before you could read it. It's now a toast that sticks around.
  • A status report that can't be matched to a terminal no longer vanishes silently. You'll get a one-time notice instead of nothing at all.
  • Off really means off. With Claude Code Mode switched off, a leftover internal session identifier could still leak into a newly opened terminal's environment. It no longer does.
