2.1.218
Highlights:
- /code-review runs as background subagent so reviews don't fill conversation and stacked /commands target it
- Screen-reader mode announces deleted words/lines for common deletions, providing audible edit feedback
- Fixed Windows paths with \u-prefixed segments corrupted into CJK chars in tool inputs, restoring access
CLI changelog
- Added screen-reader announcements of deleted text for word and line deletions (Option+Delete, Ctrl+W, Cmd+Backspace, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+K) in --ax-screen-reader mode
- Added HTTP status and error text to claude mcp list and /mcp when a server fails to connect, and a warning for MCP config values with hidden leading or trailing whitespace
- Added an announcement when fast mode changes as a result of switching models via /config model= or Remote Control
- Added yes/no/on/off/1/0 (case-insensitive) as accepted values for skill and plugin frontmatter booleans, alongside true/false
- Fixed Windows paths with \u-prefixed segments (like C:\Users\unicorn) being corrupted into CJK characters in tool inputs, which made those files inaccessible
- Fixed the left arrow key discarding the conversation with no undo: presses right after editing now ask to confirm, and Esc in the agent view returns to the conversation it backgrounded
- Fixed multi-line paste collapsing into one line with j in place of newlines in terminals that encode pasted newlines as Ctrl+J
- Fixed /context reporting stale pre-compact token usage after compacting from the message picker
- Fixed /ultrareview failing on descriptive arguments like "review my auth changes" — they now run a review of your current branch with the text applied as a note to the findings
- Fixed /code-review ultra silently running a local review in non-interactive sessions — it now launches the cloud review
- Fixed gateway spend metering to price Bedrock application-inference-profile ARNs and other config-mapped upstream model IDs at the configured model's rates
- Fixed mojibake when a long IDE selection was truncated mid-emoji, and a case where a tool executor error could be silently dropped
- … +25 more CLI changelog entries
