Claude Code 2.1.221 ships with 39 CLI changes.
Highlights
- Focus view now hides tool activity behind per-turn summaries with a live running-tool indicator, reducing clutter in the terminal.
- The Write tool docs now clearly state it can create or modify local files, making the disk-side effect explicit.
- The Grep guidance now recommends the ripgrep-backed search tool and documents output modes plus line/offset limits for more stable searches.
