# Claude Code 2.1.293

By Steven Van · 2026-10-07

Haiku 5.5 brings a 1M context window, while fixes address queued messages, context compaction and Chrome connections.

Haiku 5.5 is now available in [Claude Code](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/claude-code>), alongside new controls for subagent scripts and mod tools. Version 2.1.293 also fixes issues with context compaction, queued messages and Chrome connections.

## Haiku 5.5 and tool controls

Claude Haiku 5.5, identified as *claude-haiku-5-5*, is now the default Haiku model on the Anthropic API. It has a **1M context** window, with pricing of $0.10/$0.50 per million tokens, or $0.50/$2.50 for prompts over 100K tokens.

- The subagentStatusLine payload now includes agentType, allowing scripts to distinguish custom subagent types.

- For mods, $.tool.register now accepts isDeferred. Setting it to false includes the tool’s schema in the prompt from the start instead of keeping it behind tool search.

## Session and connection fixes

- Fixed Claude sometimes misinterpreting its own actions across context compaction, causing it to retract or redo finished work.

- Fixed an HTTP MCP memory leak that retained every sent request until the connection closed.

- Fixed queued messages being lost when the left arrow moved a working session to the background. If a queued message cannot move, the session now stays put and explains why.

- Fixed the left and right arrows in /model effort wrapping past the highest or lowest level, which could accidentally save Low as the model’s default effort.

- Fixed /tui disconnecting Claude in Chrome for sessions started with --chrome, and ignoring --no-chrome.

The changes are listed in the [2.1.293 changelog](<https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#21293>).
