Claude Code 2.1.238 adds a keybindingFlavor setting: switching it to "readline" makes Ctrl+W in the prompt delete back to the previous whitespace, matching Bash behaviour, while the default "classic" flavor is unchanged.
- Plugin marketplaces can now define a headersHelper on a url marketplace or a catalog entry, which runs a command to mint HTTP headers (such as a short-lived token) for catalog and same-origin archive fetches. A catalog entry's headersHelper only runs when that plugin is installed or updated, after its command is shown, and claude plugin install/update now ask [y/N] first (or accept -y).
- claude self-hosted-runner gains --defer-shutdown-max-min: on SIGTERM it keeps serving attached sessions, parks whatever is left after that many minutes, then exits.
- claude self-hosted-runner also gains --proxy-authorization-command and --proxy-authorization-file, for egress proxies that require a freshly issued Proxy-Authorization header on every connection.
- Fixed unbounded memory growth in long interactive sessions: subagent tool results are now released once they leave the recent display window.
- Fixed custom, project, and plugin output styles drifting back to the default voice mid-session.
Full details are in the changelog entry for Claude Code 2.1.238.
