Anthropic released Claude Code version 2.1.211 with a new --forward-subagent-text flag to expose subagent thinking in stream-json output, and a significant security fix neutralizing bidirectional-override and zero-width characters in permission previews that could visually alter approval messages. The release also fixes a prompt-caching regression on Bedrock, Vertex, Mantle, and Foundry that was incorrectly billing trailing system context blocks as fresh input tokens on every request. Dozens of additional bug fixes address session management, background agent lifecycle, Windows compatibility, MCP reconnection, and rendering performance.
