v2.1.6
Claude CodeSummary
This release introduces several new command-line utilities, including search for /config and date range filtering for /stats, alongside automatic skill discovery in subdirectories. Numerous bugs have been resolved, particularly concerning terminal input handling (numpad, Option+Return) and stability issues with rate limit warnings and configuration backups. The user experience is also enhanced with improved task dialogs and better context window visibility.
New Features
- Added search functionality to the /config command for quickly filtering settings.
- Added Updates section to /doctor showing auto-update channel and available npm versions (stable/latest).
- Added date range filtering to the /stats command, allowing cycling between Last 7 days, Last 30 days, and All time.
- Added automatic discovery of skills from nested .claude/skills directories when working with files in subdirectories.
- Added context_window.used_percentage and context_window.remaining_percentage fields to the status line input for easier context window display.
- Added an error display when the editor fails during Ctrl+G.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed permission bypass via shell line continuation that could allow blocked commands to execute.
- Fixed false "File has been unexpectedly modified" errors when file watchers touch files without changing content.
- Fixed text styling (bold, colors) getting progressively misaligned in multi-line responses.
- Fixed the feedback panel closing unexpectedly when typing 'n' in the description field.
- Fixed rate limit warning appearing at low usage after weekly reset (now requires 70% usage).
- Fixed rate limit options menu incorrectly auto-opening when resuming a previous session.
- Fixed numpad keys outputting escape sequences instead of characters in Kitty keyboard protocol terminals.
- Fixed Option+Return not inserting newlines in Kitty keyboard protocol terminals.
- Fixed corrupted config backup files accumulating in the home directory (now only one backup is created per config file).
- Fixed mcp list and mcp get commands leaving orphaned MCP server processes.
- Fixed visual artifacts in ink2 mode when nodes become hidden via display:none.
- [VSCode] Fixed usage indicator not updating after manual compact.
Improvements
- Improved the external CLAUDE.md imports approval dialog to show which files are being imported and from where.

- Improved @ autocomplete with icons for different suggestion types and single-line formatting.
- Updated "Help improve Claude" setting fetch to refresh OAuth and retry when it fails due to a stale OAuth token.
- Changed task notification display to cap at 3 lines with overflow summary when multiple background tasks complete simultaneously.
- Changed terminal title to "Claude Code" on startup for better window identification.
