Claude Code v2.1.238: Fixes memory leaks, improves self-hosted runner
ashwin-ant · ghdev · 2026-08-21
- Config Enhancement: Added keybindingFlavor setting to support Bash-style Ctrl+W deletion (readline mode).
- Plugin Marketplace: Introduced headersHelper to mint HTTP headers (e.g., short-lived tokens) for catalog and archive fetches.
- Self-hosted Runner: Added --defer-shutdown-max-min to delay shutdown on SIGTERM; added support for dynamic Proxy-Authorization via command or file for egress proxies.
- Bug Fixes: Fixed unbounded memory growth in long sessions by releasing subagent tool results; fixed output style drifting back to default mid-session; fixed runners being removed after single slow poll requests.
