Claude Code 2.1.146: Code Review, Windows Fixes, MCP Pagination

TL;DR

  • /simplify renamed to /code-review with optional effort levels
  • Windows PowerShell tool regression fixed; MCP pagination and permission dialogs corrected
  • Auto-updater reliability improved with retry logic for network failures

New

  • /code-review command — replaces /simplify with optional effort level parameter (e.g. /code-review high) for more granular control

Fixed

  • Windows PowerShell tool — resolved "command line is invalid" error when pwsh installed via winget or Microsoft Store (regression from v2.1.124)
  • MCP pagination — resources/list, resources/templates/list, and prompts/list no longer drop items past page 1 on paginating servers
  • Auto mode AskUserQuestion — no longer suppressed when user or skill explicitly relies on it
  • Background session permissions — fixed re-prompting for tool permissions already granted with "don't ask again"
  • /background command — now accepts sessions whose only typed input was a skill or custom slash command
  • Windows Terminal strobing — eliminated full-screen strobing in attached background sessions while Claude streams
  • Auto-updater status — now displays current version when update fails
  • Windows worktree removal — no longer follows NTFS junctions into main repo
  • /theme dialogs — color editor and "New custom theme" dialogs now respond to Esc key
  • Agent SDK streaming — fixed uncaught exception at end of streaming sessions
  • Managed settings enforcement — forceLoginOrgUUID and forceLoginMethod policies now enforced against third-party-provider and API-key sessions
  • GNOME Terminal paste — right-click and middle-click paste now insert text correctly
  • Multi-agent sessions — CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL now forwarded to child processes

Improved

  • Auto-updater reliability — native version checks and downloads now retry transient network failures instead of failing immediately
  • Diff rendering — performance improved for large file edits
