Claude Code 2.1.119: Settings Persistence, MCP Fixes, Windows Improvements

TL;DR

• Settings now persist to ~/.claude/settings.json with proper override precedence
• Major MCP fixes: OAuth handling, plugin spawning on Windows, environment variable substitution
• Vim mode, paste handling, and terminal rendering bugs squashed

New

• Settings persistence — /config settings (theme, editor mode, verbose) now save to ~/.claude/settings.json and respect project/local/policy override precedence
• prUrlTemplate setting — Point the footer PR badge at custom code-review URLs instead of always github.com
• CLAUDE_CODE_HIDE_CWD env var — Hide working directory in the startup logo
• --from-pr expansion — Now accepts GitLab merge-request, Bitbucket pull-request, and GitHub Enterprise PR URLs
• --print mode alignment — Now honors agent tools: and disallowedTools: frontmatter, matching interactive mode
• --agent permission mode — Built-in agents now respect their definition's permissionMode
• PowerShell auto-approval — Tool commands can now be auto-approved in permission mode, matching Bash behavior
• Hook timing data — PostToolUse and PostToolUseFailure inputs now include duration_ms (tool execution time)
• Parallel MCP reconfiguration — Subagent and SDK MCP servers now connect in parallel instead of serially
• Plugin auto-update — Plugins pinned by another plugin's version constraint now auto-update to the highest satisfying git tag
• Vim mode Esc behavior — Esc in INSERT no longer pulls queued messages back into input; press Esc again to interrupt
• Slash command UX — Suggestions now highlight matched characters; long descriptions wrap to a second line instead of truncating
• Git remote host detection — owner/repo#N shorthand links now use your git remote's host instead of always pointing at github.com
• OpenTelemetry enhancements — tool_result and tool_decision events now include tool_use_id; tool_result also includes tool_input_size_bytes
• Status line JSON — stdin JSON now includes effort.level and thinking.enabled

Fixed

• CRLF paste handling — Windows clipboards and Xcode console pastes no longer insert extra blank lines
• Multi-line paste newlines — Fixed newline loss in terminals using kitty keyboard protocol inside bracketed paste
• Glob/Grep tool visibility — Tools no longer disappear on native macOS/Linux builds when Bash tool is denied
• Fullscreen scrolling — Scrolling up no longer snaps back to bottom when a tool finishes
• MCP HTTP OAuth — Non-JSON OAuth discovery responses no longer fail withSource: Claude Code
