The release also adds an Auto mode tab to /permissions for viewing and editing auto mode classifier rules, and shows the turn's completion time at the end of the duration line, e.g. "Sautéed for 23s · done 6:05 PM". The update fixes several issues in [Claude Code](): - Fullscreen mode showing a blank transcript after resizing the terminal and jumping to the bottom until the next keypress - A severe transcript slowdown when a diff contained a very long single line, such as a base64 string; such lines now render truncated with a marker - Erratic fullscreen scrolling when positioned at an earlier message, including jump-to-bottom getting stuck mid-transcript - Background sessions failing to open after 45 seconds when Claude Code's starting directory had been deleted, the machine had slept, or the host is slow to start processes - Background sessions failing to open with "Couldn't start the background service … EACCES" when another Claude Code process was re-installing the npm package at the same time Full details are in the [changelog]().
